Okay, so after everything I was watching finished, I needed something new to watch. And after scouring netflix for a good hour, I re-found Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This show is one I saw advertised on sky many times and never thought much of, i'm not sure why though because it did look good, I wanted to watch it but I didn't expect much from it and a show like that doesn't really stick in your head but, with nothing else to watch I thought "why not". I stuck it on and I have to admit, I binge watched it. I managed to get through both seasons in a week. Which isn't that bad in all honesty, when I first started watching Pretty Little Liars back in 2010, I binge watched season 1a in one day.
But anyway, back to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. So yeah, I wasn't expecting much but I was really wrong to think that way. It is incredible. and I can not wait for season 3. The story line, insane, the characters, so likable. Even the villains are likable. The twists at the end of both seasons were both so unexpected. I have literally adored every episode. I started watching it with my friend and every time I watched an episode without them, I'd run to them like "you missed one hell of an episode" and watch it again with them. It's just so easy to get hooked on. Such good story lines and character profiles. I literally just can't get over how good it is. And, the thing that drew my in straight away is Skye. Skye is literally my favourite name, the name I want to name my first born girl and the main female of the show having that name excited me.
Part of me wants to post and rant about everything that happens but I don't want to ruin it for people that haven't watched it yet so I'm going to leave this post here. Apologies to those of you who have not watched it yet for mentioning the twists but let's be honest, every good show has a big plot twist at the end of every season...
xox.

10 years time
I don't know how many of you will have seen Alfie's video the other day. But, his video was a video response to the question that Will asked at the end of his video: Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
And, this got me thinking quite a lot, because when I was younger I used to plan my life. I knew what job I wanted, I knew how many kids I was going to have - and their names, I knew that I was going to get married - and a lot of the details of that wedding, I knew where I was going to live, what pets I was going to have, to be completely honest, I even knew how long I wanted to live for. I used to tell myself that I would die at around 60 - naturally or self inflicted - simply because I didn't want to live long enough for any life altering diseases to take over. But, now that I'm older I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I'm currently at university studying a pretty big subject, a subject that can open a lot of doors but I don't even know if I want a career in this area. I don't know where I want to live - although I do know it won't be in Liverpool (I hope). and to be completely honest, not knowing kinda scares me. I feel as though, at the age of 19, I should know what I want to do with my life. I mean, I turn 20 this year and I've never even had a job. It's time for me to grow up and start a career but I have no idea what I want it to be in. I feel as though I have no time for a job, university takes up all of my time but having a job is essential for life, I need a job for the experience, I need a job so that when I finish university I have something to fall into, a job to keep me going, income so that I can afford a place to live.
I have no idea what career I will have. Maybe tattooing, maybe piercing, maybe youtube, maybe a travel agent, maybe I'll live my dream of singing for my career - whether that's celebrity status or cruise ship singing, if I sing as my career, I can guarantee that I am happy with my job.
In ten years time, will I be married? no, probably not. I have decided that marriage is not for me, I don't want to be attached to someone in that way. I don't like feeling trapped and that is what marriage is. It's a trap, get married and you have to pay to leave the person you're with. You're trapped with that person for life. I like knowing that I can leave someone if I decide I'm not happy, without having to pay.
In ten years time I would like to have children. But, it probably won't happen. I will not have children until I am sure that I have enough to be able to look after a child. I want a nice house and a good job. And it might sound selfish, but I want to be able to travel, have some proper time to myself and whoever I am with before I have children. Children tie you down, tie you to one place, and I want to live before I decide to give life to another.
There are only a few things that I am certain on, and they are that I will have my pug, I will have a pet pug called Peanut. I will have my Alaskan Malamute (not sure on her name yet). I will have my dogs, I will have the person I want to spend my life with - whether that's the person I'm with now or someone else, I will be happy and I will be surrounded by my family and the people who care about me and hopefully I will have had a short period of time that is stress free.
I feel as this post lacked fluidity but I really had no idea how to word everything that is flying around in my head. There are so many things I want but realistically won't have - like a nice big house and all the tattoos I want, and there are a lot of things I hope to not have but probably will - like a shitty job & body. But that's just life. It's pretty difficult to say where you hope to be in ten years. Because if you get your hopes up and it doesn't turn out how you wanted, you'll be disappointed even if your life turns out pretty great. Anyway, I hope this wasn't too boring, I know I haven't posted in a while but I've not been very well lately and the days were I wasn't sick, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to post anything that anyone would enjoy.
Love & Peace, Lindsey xo

Goodbye Terry.
I've not posted in a while for personal reasons but I thought I'd post a nice quick update because I'm feeling like I need to get a few things out.
As most of you probably know, the world lost one of its greatest, most inspirational authors today. Terry Pratchett has sadly passed away. And learning about this today made me think so much about my childhood.
There are quite a few things that no-one knows about me and for the sake of this post, I'm going to share one of those things now.
Growing up I used to write a heck load of stories and comic strips. Most of them were fantasy/sci-fi based the rest were horror/mysteries. I loved to write about monsters and alternate universes, death, murder and serial killers (Jack the Ripper being my biggest inspiration for the serial killer stories, the Yorkshire ripper being another inspiration). Anything I found interesting to read, I loved to write about. I had notebooks filled with stories. I had diaries that I used to write in. But I never wrote the diaries about my day, they were always about my characters day. My biggest influences for these stories were Terry Pratchett and Darren Shan. Another thing that no-one knows is that when I read a book, I imagine all of the details, all of the small things, I take them all into consideration in my imagination, say there's a monster, not only would I imagine what that creature looked like, I'd imagine the situation, the scene, I'd imagine what state the creature is in, is it out of breath, is it sweating, is it angry, how angry is it?, is it covered in a liquid? what liquid, bile? blood? vomit? and and sometimes, I'd draw what I was imagining. Drawing the creatures that other people imagined was probably one of my favourite things to do. But, I was so ashamed of doing it that I would draw it and then throw it away so that no-one else saw it. I used to want to be an author, or an illustrator, I used to want to write my own stories and draw the illustrations that would accompany them. That was a dream of mine, but one I never shared. I don't quite know why this is something I have never shared with anyone. I'm not exactly ashamed of doing these things or wanting those things, I guess I just didn't think anyone would understand. But, one of my inspirations has died today. And, to me, that's a sign. Even the greatest of people don't live forever, but they sure do last forever. Terry Pratchett will last forever in history, he will always be remembered, his stories will always be read and passed around, just like Shakespear and Grimm, and Conan Doyle. He will be forever loved and remembered. Terry was an inspirational man. Despite his terrible disease, he continued to create, he wrote stories that inspired and entertained the world and I think that if a man so ordinary, so normal, can become someone so important to so many people then what's to stop anyone else doing the same? The world is full of so many people, and at least one of them is going to be the next person to inspire the world. So many people are going to be known, known for their art, for their achievements and for their personality and I want to be one of those people. I want to leave my mark on the world and inspire millions, just like Terry did. I don't want to die, I want to die and be remembered by millions.
Sorry for the rather messy post. I didn't really think much about it before posting it. I just thought that I needed to get this out, and that this was the best place to do so.

Monthly favourites/Collective Haul!
I know that it's not quite the end of the month but we're two days away from the end of February so I thought I'd post this now because, this is a post I've been really excited about posting. It's going to contain all of the small bits and bobs I've loved and bought this month.
Okay, so the first thing I've loved this month is FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. I heard this sound the day that the video was released and adored it, listened to it on repeat for about half an hour and decided to buy it and I had it on repeat for the rest of the day. Insanely good song. I think it would be a lot better without Kanye though but whatever. If you've not heard it, I strongly recommend that you do.
The first thing I bought this month for myself that wasn't food was this hair dye. The colour I bought was Bubblegum Blue. And although it has not came out the correct colour (due to a bad bleaching job) I would still recommend this dye. My hair came out a gorgeous blue/green colour so even though it's not the blue I bought the dye for, it's still came out a nice colour. I bought this box of 4 from Amazon for £10, which is an absolute bargain considering the individual tubes are £4 each.
I had been wanting to try out this foundation for a very long time. And I must admit, I am glad I got it. It's a really good foundation considering the price. The coverage is good although, it's quite thin so it does requite some layering. Although I do think that I'll try a different foundation next time I need to buy some. I bought this from Superdrug for £7.
This was quite an impulsive purchase. I had been after a grey nail polish for a long time, and hadn't found one that was a shade that I liked. But, I was in tesco, and I happened to go past the Barry M counter and saw this and I just had to buy it. I'd prefer a matte one but a matte top coat is easy to come across these days so it doesn't bother me too much especially seen as I love it as it is. It dries super fast which is a bonus as well. I do two coats which is more than enough for a nice even coverage. Barry M nail polish never fails me. I bought this for £4.
As you all know, I have been planning on joining the gym and as motivation, I bought some gym clothes. I bought this vest and a sports bra but I won't be posting a picture of the bra on here. I am in love with this top and can not wait to wear it for the gym or anything I choose to wear it for. I bought this vest for £22. And I bought the bra for £22 as well. I ordered both items off of amazon. I would have bought the bra elsewhere but, as my bra size is too awkward to buy in a store, I had to order it online.
So the first thing I bought was the classic Chinese New Year parade dragon. I just had to have one of these because I used to get them from school when I was younger but they always got ruined.
Music!
Random bits & bobs!
These bedsheets are gorgeous! I loove hedgehogs so these were just (almost) perfect for me. (to have been perfect it would have had to have had pugs on it) But anyway, I bought these for about £9 from Primark which was an insanely good price for bed sheets, especially seen as they're really good quality as well.
Makeup!
(does nail polish count as makeup?)
Clothes & Accessories!
I had been after a new bag for a while and I went into new look and this bag instantly jumped out at me. It was the perfect size for what I needed it for and it's gorgeous. I use this bag all the time and would not be without it. I paid £23 for this bag.
Happy New Year
So on the 22nd of this month, Liverpool had it's annual Chinese New Year parade. So obviously I went and picked up a few things before watching the parade, in the pouring rain might I add. I got absolutely soaked but it was completely worth it because it was such a good morning.
The second thing I picked up was this lucky buddah charm. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. At the minute he's hung on my memory board but when I get a car he'll definitely be in there.
The last thing I picked up was the Chinese lucky coins in a red ribbon. They did have these in gold but I'm more of a silver person so I picked it up in silver. I've worn these on a choker a couple of times since I got it and it looks so beautiful, but right now it's in my purse. You can never have enough luck!

The Vampire Diaries quick (but long) summary and review.
Okay, I know I recently did a review but, I just watched the latest episode so I felt like an update was needed.
Okay, so the episode started with a dream/flashback that Caroline was having, which was really sad/cute. In the dream, Caroline had just fallen off her bike, and Liz is putting a bandage on her cut, and Caroline asks her mum about death, Liz tells Caroline that it'll be a very long time before she dies, and Caroline asks Liz what will happen if she dies and Caroline is left alone, and Liz says that when that happens, Caroline will be all grown up and won't need her anymore, to which Caroline replies with "I think I'll always need you". Caroline wakes up and goes to get water. She finds Damon in the kitchen struggling to write his speech for the funeral. Caroline is rude to Damon, not realising that he also needs some support as he really cared about Liz, in return, he is an ass to Caroline by telling her the harsh truth, that today would be okay because she would have all her friends around her, scared to leave her alone, and that the hardest day would be next week, when she'd be all alone. This makes Caroline think.
Caroline then gives all of her friends different jobs to do for the preparation for the funeral, and asks Elena to go with her to buy the coffin.
It then goes to Bonnie, who now has magic and is celebrating that she will later in the day, be going home.
It then cuts to Jo and Alaric, Jo is throwing up because she has food poisoning. Kai then knocks on the door, saying that because they cheated the merge by using the wrong twin, he is now dying and asks for Jo's help. He explains that if he dies, so does Joe, their father, sister and the rest of their coven, this convinces Jo to help Kai.
Damon then has a flashback to just before his mothers funeral when he is talking to 10 year old Stefan about his speech. After his flashback, Stefan asks Damon for advice about Caroline, Damon tells Stefan that Caroline is looking for something real, and if Stefan doesn't think that Caroline is "the one" then he should break it off with her before it hurts her even more, but to not do it today because of the funeral.
It then goes to Caroline and Elena who have a similar conversation as Caroline tells Elena that she and Stefan kissed, and wants to talk to him about it but doesn't know when to do it. Elena tells Caroline to do it tomorrow.
It then goes back to Jo and Kai. Jo does a full medical checkup on Kai and says that there is nothing medically wrong with him, Kai then throws up, falling forward and grabbing Jo for support so that he doesn't fall, as he does this, he takes away some of Jo's magic and instantly feels better. This is when Kai discovers that in order to save him from dying, he needs to have Jo's magic. But, because Alaric isn't happy about this, Kai has to explain that if he dies, all of the prison worlds will collapse.
Bonnie is then shown in the cave under the soon to be eclipse preparing to go back to the normal world. But, the world changes around her.
Damon is then shown having a flashback to after his mothers funeral were he met up with an upset Stefan who asks why he didn't show up to their mothers funeral. Damon claims he didn't go because he didn't know what to say. Stefan replies with "you could have just said goodbye"
It then shows Alaric talking to Jo about what Kai has told them. He tells her that he'll love her no matter what she decides to do. and that he'll love her even without her magic.
The funeral.
Caroline is stood in front of her mothers open coffin and Stefan walks in. She asks him were she stands with him and he explains that he doesn't think that it is an appropriate time to talk about it, suggesting they talk about it tomorrow. He then leaves and Caroline goes over to her mother and starts crying and says "I'm going to be alright mum, I promise, everything will be alright after today"
It then shows Bonnie exploring the prison world she has been dropped in. As she's walking around through the snow, she finds footprints in the snow that lead to a house. She goes in and uses her magic to turn on the light. Only one light turns on so she goes into that room. While in there, she finds a diary with an entry that explains the northern lights and basically, that they act like a portal out of the prison just like the eclipse did. The diary entry was dated 1903.
The funeral
The first thing shown in this scene is technically not the funeral but outside. As it shows Tyler turning up to the funeral drunk and Matt turning him away explaining that he understands and sympathises with all the crap he's going through, but Caroline doesn't deserve him bringing all of his crap there.
The first thing that is shown of the actual funeral is the display that the police officers put on to show their respect to Liz. The next thing that is shown is Damon's speech. In his speech, Damon tells Caroline everything that her mother had told him in her last minutes. Caroline then sings a song dedicated to her mother. During this, Stefan realises his feelings for her. (I cried through the whole ceremony, it was insanely emotional)
It then goes to the wake after the funeral. The first thing shown is Matt going and sitting down with Tyler and Tyler explaining that he's now sober. Matt then says that he was moved by the way the police honored Liz and that he wanted to be a part of something like that, so he got an application for himself and Tyler for the police training programme. Caroline leaves the wake early. Elena tries to stop her, Caroline thanks Elena for everything she has done for her that day and say's she'll never forget it and then leaves. Elena then realises how weird Caroline has been being that day.
Jo gives Kai her magic causing the prison worlds to shift between one another. When back in the prison world she was originally in, Bonnie notices the time and realises she only has a few minutes to complete the spell for her to go back home. But as she's running back to the cave, the worlds continue to shift between one another. When she gets back to the cave, she's in 1903 again and says that the nothern lights work the same as the eclipse so she should be able to do the spell still. After completing the spell, just before she gets pulled out of prison, a women appears asking Bonnie who she is. Bonnie asks the women the same question, but before she could get an answer, she's pulled out of prison. Little does she know, the video recorder she has been using recorded the whole thing as she forgot to turn it off when she left Damon and Stefan's old home. (this is revealed until the end of the episode though, but I'm mentioning it here to make explaining things easier later)
Kai is then shown thanking Jo for giving him her magic, and then whispering something in her ear, then saying "have a nice life sissie" and leaving. Alaric asks Jo what Kai had said, and she says that she wasn't sick because of food poisoning, she's pregnant (yay). Alaric then proposes and explains that he bought the ring after her brother died, and that he had planned on proposing that morning but she had been ill, explaining that it wasn't the pity proposal that Jo thought it was. Jo says yes! (obviously)
Damon and Stefan are then shown discussing their mothers funeral. But end up talking about Caroline. Stefan explains that although he has no way of explaining how he feels for her now, he believes that it could turn into something better than he has had before. Damon tells Stefan that he should go and tell her.
Caroline is shown getting home and sorting out some things in her mothers house. Elena then turns up and tells Caroline that she knows that she's planning on turning off her humanity switch. After they argue the topic for a few minutes, Elena tells Caroline that she's not going to let her turn off her humanity. Caroline snaps Elena's neck and says "that's not your choice to make".
Damon is then shown in his home trying to get in touch with Elena. But, as he walks into the kitchen. He is taken aback by the pancakes that are sitting on a plate on the island. he then says "bonnie" to which she replies with "the one and only". Damon smiles at her and opens up his arms. She runs over to him and jumps into his arms for a hug.
When Stefan gets to Caroline's home, he finds Elena unconscious on the floor and calls for Caroline and gets no answer.
It then goes back to Damon and Bonnie. Damon is holding the picture frame that Bonnie found and Bonnie shows him the recording. They pause the video on the woman's face and the episode ends with Damon looking at the woman and saying "oh my god, that's my mother".
Over all, I think the episode was amazing. Which is pretty amazing as I wasn't too impressed with the storyline so far. I'm glad that Bonnie is back, she's my favourite character and I was getting pretty bored with her being stuck in prison. They need to try and keep her alive and with her friends for a while now because her dying and coming back to life all the time is getting a bit boring.
I really do not like Caroline and Stefan as a couple but I think that with her turning off her humanity, it won't bother me too much cos she won't be interested in him anyway. I think the Jo and Alaric storyline is amazing aswell. Their child will be fucking adorable and their wedding will be magical. Really looking forward to the next episode as the preview looked really good! anyway, enough from me, this post is long enough.
If you enjoyed this, feel free to let me know. and let me know if you didn't aswell.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a show for me to watch, let me know because I have nothing else to watch now.
Okay, so the episode started with a dream/flashback that Caroline was having, which was really sad/cute. In the dream, Caroline had just fallen off her bike, and Liz is putting a bandage on her cut, and Caroline asks her mum about death, Liz tells Caroline that it'll be a very long time before she dies, and Caroline asks Liz what will happen if she dies and Caroline is left alone, and Liz says that when that happens, Caroline will be all grown up and won't need her anymore, to which Caroline replies with "I think I'll always need you".

It then goes back to Jo and Kai. Jo does a full medical checkup on Kai and says that there is nothing medically wrong with him, Kai then throws up, falling forward and grabbing Jo for support so that he doesn't fall, as he does this, he takes away some of Jo's magic and instantly feels better. This is when Kai discovers that in order to save him from dying, he needs to have Jo's magic. But, because Alaric isn't happy about this, Kai has to explain that if he dies, all of the prison worlds will collapse.
Bonnie is then shown in the cave under the soon to be eclipse preparing to go back to the normal world. But, the world changes around her.
Damon is then shown having a flashback to after his mothers funeral were he met up with an upset Stefan who asks why he didn't show up to their mothers funeral. Damon claims he didn't go because he didn't know what to say. Stefan replies with "you could have just said goodbye"
It then shows Alaric talking to Jo about what Kai has told them. He tells her that he'll love her no matter what she decides to do. and that he'll love her even without her magic.
The funeral.
Caroline is stood in front of her mothers open coffin and Stefan walks in. She asks him were she stands with him and he explains that he doesn't think that it is an appropriate time to talk about it, suggesting they talk about it tomorrow. He then leaves and Caroline goes over to her mother and starts crying and says "I'm going to be alright mum, I promise, everything will be alright after today"
It then shows Bonnie exploring the prison world she has been dropped in. As she's walking around through the snow, she finds footprints in the snow that lead to a house. She goes in and uses her magic to turn on the light. Only one light turns on so she goes into that room. While in there, she finds a diary with an entry that explains the northern lights and basically, that they act like a portal out of the prison just like the eclipse did. The diary entry was dated 1903.
The funeral
The first thing shown in this scene is technically not the funeral but outside. As it shows Tyler turning up to the funeral drunk and Matt turning him away explaining that he understands and sympathises with all the crap he's going through, but Caroline doesn't deserve him bringing all of his crap there.
The first thing that is shown of the actual funeral is the display that the police officers put on to show their respect to Liz. The next thing that is shown is Damon's speech. In his speech, Damon tells Caroline everything that her mother had told him in her last minutes. Caroline then sings a song dedicated to her mother. During this, Stefan realises his feelings for her. (I cried through the whole ceremony, it was insanely emotional)
It then goes to the wake after the funeral. The first thing shown is Matt going and sitting down with Tyler and Tyler explaining that he's now sober. Matt then says that he was moved by the way the police honored Liz and that he wanted to be a part of something like that, so he got an application for himself and Tyler for the police training programme. Caroline leaves the wake early. Elena tries to stop her, Caroline thanks Elena for everything she has done for her that day and say's she'll never forget it and then leaves. Elena then realises how weird Caroline has been being that day.
(I swear this is nearly finished. I didn't think it would be this long)
Bonnie is then shown exploring the house she found. She finds a photo frame that has a picture of Damon in one side and a picture of Stefan in the other. I think this is were she realises that she's in their old home.
Jo gives Kai her magic causing the prison worlds to shift between one another. When back in the prison world she was originally in, Bonnie notices the time and realises she only has a few minutes to complete the spell for her to go back home. But as she's running back to the cave, the worlds continue to shift between one another. When she gets back to the cave, she's in 1903 again and says that the nothern lights work the same as the eclipse so she should be able to do the spell still. After completing the spell, just before she gets pulled out of prison, a women appears asking Bonnie who she is. Bonnie asks the women the same question, but before she could get an answer, she's pulled out of prison. Little does she know, the video recorder she has been using recorded the whole thing as she forgot to turn it off when she left Damon and Stefan's old home. (this is revealed until the end of the episode though, but I'm mentioning it here to make explaining things easier later)
Kai is then shown thanking Jo for giving him her magic, and then whispering something in her ear, then saying "have a nice life sissie" and leaving. Alaric asks Jo what Kai had said, and she says that she wasn't sick because of food poisoning, she's pregnant (yay). Alaric then proposes and explains that he bought the ring after her brother died, and that he had planned on proposing that morning but she had been ill, explaining that it wasn't the pity proposal that Jo thought it was. Jo says yes! (obviously)
Damon and Stefan are then shown discussing their mothers funeral. But end up talking about Caroline. Stefan explains that although he has no way of explaining how he feels for her now, he believes that it could turn into something better than he has had before. Damon tells Stefan that he should go and tell her.
Caroline is shown getting home and sorting out some things in her mothers house. Elena then turns up and tells Caroline that she knows that she's planning on turning off her humanity switch. After they argue the topic for a few minutes, Elena tells Caroline that she's not going to let her turn off her humanity. Caroline snaps Elena's neck and says "that's not your choice to make".
Damon is then shown in his home trying to get in touch with Elena. But, as he walks into the kitchen. He is taken aback by the pancakes that are sitting on a plate on the island. he then says "bonnie" to which she replies with "the one and only". Damon smiles at her and opens up his arms. She runs over to him and jumps into his arms for a hug.
When Stefan gets to Caroline's home, he finds Elena unconscious on the floor and calls for Caroline and gets no answer.
It then goes back to Damon and Bonnie. Damon is holding the picture frame that Bonnie found and Bonnie shows him the recording. They pause the video on the woman's face and the episode ends with Damon looking at the woman and saying "oh my god, that's my mother".
Over all, I think the episode was amazing. Which is pretty amazing as I wasn't too impressed with the storyline so far. I'm glad that Bonnie is back, she's my favourite character and I was getting pretty bored with her being stuck in prison. They need to try and keep her alive and with her friends for a while now because her dying and coming back to life all the time is getting a bit boring.
I really do not like Caroline and Stefan as a couple but I think that with her turning off her humanity, it won't bother me too much cos she won't be interested in him anyway. I think the Jo and Alaric storyline is amazing aswell. Their child will be fucking adorable and their wedding will be magical. Really looking forward to the next episode as the preview looked really good! anyway, enough from me, this post is long enough.
If you enjoyed this, feel free to let me know. and let me know if you didn't aswell.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a show for me to watch, let me know because I have nothing else to watch now.

Fifty Shades of Grey Rant and Cover Ideas.
I must admit, I'm getting sort of stuck on what to post about lately, I think that's why I stopped blogging last year. But, I'm just going to see where this post takes me until I come up with some better ideas.
Okay, so right now I'm listening to the playlist that spotify made for me of my top 100 played songs of last year and seriously, I don't recall listening to half of these songs. But, on the topic of music, I have been trying to find the perfect song to do a cover of recently but I can't find anything. I've tried Sam Smith, Sia, Birdy, John Legend, Bring Me The Horizon and Rihana but nothing seems right and is comfortable to sing in my current living conditions. So, if anyone has any ideas of songs for a soprano vocalist to cover then let me know? thanks.
Really looking forward to posting my february favourites at the end of this month, been adding to it everytime I buy and try out something new and i'm really enjoying it so far, it makes me want to buy myself new things all the time.
How many of you are going to see the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? I personally won't be going to see it or support it in any way at all. After seeing some of the things that are included in that movie (I never read the book), I decided that it was definitely not the kind of thing I wanted to support. I mean, I completely understand what people mean when they say that there are plenty of other movies that promote the same sort of things but most of the time, those sort of things are represented as a bad thing, like the bad guy will rape someone, or sexually abuse someone, and when it is represented in a positive way, it's not to the same extremes as FSoG, And, I also understand people when they say that other movies support other things, like I saw one person say that The Hunger Games supports child labour and war or some bulls**t like that, and if you want to have that point of view then good for you, but at the end of the day, it f**king doesn't, and even if it did, it's a bloody fantasy movie. I mean, for gods sake, have you even watched it? The people in it are ridiculous, it's a fantasy movie, not a supposed "romantic" movie.

The vampire diaries
Not posted in a couple of days so I thought I'd write a quick review on the vampire diaries as i've just gotten myself up-to-date. And I must say, this season has been brilliant so far, although there are a few flaws. For starters, Enzo, his storyline is getting a bit boring, I understand that it's meant to be leading up to something "big", but it's just not interested me so far. Bonnie, I adore Bonnie and I really want her back in current day Mystic Falls, her being back in the 90's is a really interesting storyline, but I feel as though it's been dragged out for far too long now, anyone else agree?
And, Stefan and Caroline, I really do not like them together, they're meant to just be really close friends, why did there have to be a romantic interest there? And as for Jeremy, why couldn't he just go off to art school? He needs some time to be normal, going to art school would have made an interesting storyling, fuck, if they really wanted to keep in the hunter storyline, he could have gone to art achool and carried on hunting while he's there. I'm honestly just not sure how I feel about it at the minute, I feel as thought i'm only watching it because I'm curious on if Bonnie manages to find a way back...
