Awesome Video!

Hiya!

Check this out!

Amazing, right? I found it on Buzzfeed whilst doing the quizzes, one of my new routines developed from the loneliness of study leave.

Anyway, at first I didn't really want to check it out - I was stuck in the middle of a particularly frustrating quiz on spelling bee definitions (lame, I know). But my friend told me to watch the video, so I did, and then I just couldn't stop.

I watched it five times, on replay...

I feel like I'm just posting various links and Internet wonders on my blog now...sorry...?

But this is just too cool!!!


I love you so very much

And goodbye!!

Blow-Dried Cows

Ok, I think blow-dried cows are now my new favourite thing...

They are just so cute and so fluffy!

My friend posted a picture of a few, and I swear it was love at first sight <3

Thank you, friend.

Anyway, I feel like that little girl in Despicable Me - the one who says, "It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!'

Gawd they're adorable!

Please, check out 'blow dried cow' and find out what I'm talking about if you don't already know because I probably sound crazy right now...

And if you already knew, well then good for you :)

Awwwwwww...


I love you (more than I love fluffy cows!)

Bye!

Cards Against Humanity and the Eurovision Song Contest 2015

Hiya!

So, to celebrate one week of freedom from exams, my friends and I decided to play Cards Against Humanity. I was very excited because I'd watched a bunch of YouTubers play it and heard great things about this game, but I had never played it myself. I knew it was offensive...though I didn't realise exactly how offensive it could get.

And we went there, we went all the way.

But moving on to something more relevant - this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Hopefully, you've already heard of the results, because there are spoilers below if you haven't. Although unless you've been living in a cave on an isolated island, I'm going to believe you've at least heard about it by now.

Firstly, Sweden's performance was amazing, the whole lot. It was a rightful win. The song, the effects, the choreography...such wonderfulness and cuteness should not be allowed!

Belgium's song was also a favourite of mine - it was so strange, but kinda cool at the same time. It surprised me at first due to its quirkiness, and then surprised me later when I realised I actually really liked it.

Now, UK's Electro Velvet group - they weren't that bad, were they? Of course, with me being brought up in Britain, my loyalty towards this country plays a big role...but they did all right... It was a fun performance with tons of energy, but in the end, gained only five points.

Oh well, we tried :(

Austria. Wtf was with the burning piano?!

And finally, if you know me at all, you know how obsessed I am with Italy - I loved their song so much. And those guys were steamin'! Omg it was so hot...I drooled during their whole time on stage. Italians are the best.

❤️

Anyways, I've got to go now so,

I love you

And goodbye!

Joey Graceffa's Music Video - 'Don't Wait'

Ok, quick update because I just have to...

Joey Graceffa.

One of the first YouTubers I subscribed to just came out in the most gorgeous music video ever. It's absolutely amazing!

Check out Joey's music video below, in which there's a bit of cheeky tongue action!
(I'm British, couldn't help it [sorry]) 



It's been years since the first video of his that I watched, and I am so utterly proud of him. And my respect towards him is sky high now - it takes so much courage and is so draining living life hiding away.

I mean, I'm no good with sentimental words and expressing myself. To be honest, I'm speechless.  I'm not like those people who gush wonderful things about him in the comments, I don't have the best words to describe what I'm feeling.

But I can tell you that I'm so proud of him. Yes, it's a common thing to say...I 'stole' this from more than 4.5 million people...but it's the truth. Him coming out was so brave and done in the most perfect and creative manner. I'm glad that he has overcome his monsters, and in doing so has probably inspired many others to do the same. To live so much of your life being teased for who you are, and to overcome the struggles whilst still remaining true to yourself- that's one of the most admirable things.

The video itself is pure perfection. The storyline is personal to Joey, with many references to his mum's alcoholism, bullying and obviously the scrumptious gay smooch at the end, but it's also kinda generic and relevant to everyone. It's about finding yourself and not letting others dictate your life, about overcoming monsters, both inner and outer.

It's just the most perfect thing.


Anyway, sorry if I bored you if YouTube isn't your thing, I just really had to talk about this. YouTube means a lot to me ('too much' is more accurate!) and I have those few original YouTubers who I've stuck with since my first discovery - Joey being one of them.

I know this isn't a great post - as I said, me and writing about feelings isn't a great mix. I had to try though ;)


I have to go now - I spent way too long trying to write this

I love y'all, and goodbye!

And remember:

Don't wait!

Helping People

Hiya!

A few days ago, I helped a woman out. She got on the bus I was on and was asking the bus driver if he knew a certain road that I shall not name.

You'll be able to stalk me otherwise ;)

Anyways, the bus driver said he didn't recognise the road, and the woman clearly in distress started panicking. She said she'd missed her plane (from her accent, I guess she was American) and had only just arrived in England for the first time. She was told by her friend to go to this road, and to take this bus there, but not where to get off.

And if there's one thing you should know about me, I can't stand seeing other people upset. And she seemed like such a lovely lady, I just had to help. 

So whilst everyone else on the bus was giving her the evils for holding it up, I went up to her and told her that I knew where her road was and that it was near to where I get off.

Her relief on her face when I told her this made me feel so good! I honestly felt like I was the kindest person in the world. She was so happy, and knowing that I was the person who made her happy is the best thing.

This is where I could start preaching about helping others and 'giving is better than receiving', but I'm not one for preaching and telling others what to do. But helping others is good - helping that woman made my day. So I dunno, maybe if your friend needs help, give them a hand.

Yep, I'm officially terrible at preaching.


I love y'all, but especially you <3

Toodles!
