A Few Of My Favourite Things

Hello!
As always, summer coupled with exams is weighing me down, but that never ceases my need to write. A lot of the things I have been writing recently have been fiction (and even that's a little short on the ground), so I decided to shape things up a bit and do the 20 of My Favourite Things tag!
I know my last post was also a tag but as soon as I sat down after a barbecue and a substantial piece of cake I knew that getting a proper blog out of me was impossible. It may not seem it, but a lot of my blogs take quite a while to write, specifically any that have theories, rumors or anything else that needs a source or certain wording to ensure it can't be misinterpreted *cough* PLL Series Six Facts *cough*. Although, that said, I really enjoyed writing that and hope to do another when the show goes on hiatus.
Enough of my ramblings, now onto the tag.

Favourite...

Colour- Black! Frankly, if you assumed anything else than I am ashamed. I am notorious for having some 'gothic' personality traits and along with those is a love for this colour.

Dessert- Before I answer, I would like to apply emphasis to how long and hard I thought about this question, because I really, really, really love food. And not like a normal person, like someone who once ran the length of a rather large classroom faster than I had ever ran previously, screaming, because I thought someone was throwing away some nachos with salsa and guacamole. Nonetheless, I'm going to have to pick my nan's Eton Mess. Strawberries, crushed meringue, chocolate shavings and cool, tangy creme fraiche.

Smell- Books. For sure. Old books, new books, they all have unique smells but each and every one is perfection. Basically it's crack for geeks.

Flower- Forget-me-nots. For all my life, my family have moved house every 1-3 years, having stayed in our longest house a little over 3 years. However, one thing that has remained constant is bunches of Forget-me-nots always end up in the back garden. I guess they are just one of the few pieces of consistency in my life and they always remind me of various happy memories from each of the eight houses.

Animal- Is it too Tumblr if I say sloths? They're just so cute and they squeak! Polar Bears and Giraffes are also top picks.

Month- September. It's a new academic year, which you will inevitably mess up, but at this point you hold onto the idea of being organised and hardworking. Plus, it's my birthday month. And who doesn't love Autumn? The colours alone are to die for!

Beverage-  Costa Coffee's White Hot Chocolate. Last year, I was in town and realised the Christmas drinks were on sale, so I lined up for one and got so excited that I cried.I probably shouldn't have admitted that, but that's how much I love it.

Shoes- Anyone who has ever met me will know of my obsession with Doc Martens. They're so comfy, waterproof, look absolutely beautiful and make me feel really great when I'm wearing them.

Snack- Either Pringles or Homous with breadsticks. Just not together. Ew.

Song/s- Right now, American Idiot by Green Day and My Chemical Romance's Teenagers.

Book- Don't make me choose! Honestly though, after the announcement that A Series of Unfortunate Events is about to become a Netflix original series, I have rediscovered my love for Lemony Snicket's 13 part series (I'm still only on the 10th but shhh).

Fruit- Pineapple, apart from when it burns your tongue. The things I do for food. 

Hairstyle- Just today, I tried out a new one, which I can feel I'm going to love for a long time. 

Piece/s of Clothing- Black ripped, skinny jeans are a must have, along with an army-style jacket. Tank tops are also an item of clothing that you can't go wrong with. 

Stores to Shop- Primark is a little, underrated gem in my opinion. It's great for cute tops, comfy jeans and don't even get me started on their pyjamas! I'm also rather fond of their stud earrings to add a little more to your school uniform. Another shop that I've began to love is H&M. They have sophisticated, comfy clothes that will suit any occasion. Both these shops are perfect for when you are budgeting, too. 

Season- Autumn, for sure! The colours, clothes, weather and atmosphere alone is enough to fall madly in love with. 

Hobby- As you've probably guessed, writing is a personal favourite of mine. 

Things to Collect- Memories. Why spend life collecting materialistic things when it's always the memories attached that matter?

Movie- Saving Mr Banks. Not only is it the telling of the making of a beloved childrens' classic, but it truly haunted me from the moment the credits rolled in. The story of P.L. Travers is so heartbreakingly beautiful, with performances from Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell and the rest of the cast to match.  

Restaurant- A local Indian restaurant, Ashiana. The food impressed me beyond belief and the night there was one filled with laughter and friends. 

So that's it, a few of my favourite things! I hope you enjoyed this insight into some of my personal preferences and I can't to write another blog for you guys.

50 Facts about Me!

Hello!
I realised I haven't posted in a while, but as I mentioned in my last post, I've had a lot of stuff going on outside of social media. Nevertheless, I thought you deserved a new post already, and what better excuse than to shamelessly promote two of my great friends! I stole this tag from one friend, who stole it from another, both of which I will link below.
Without further ado, here are 50 facts about me!
1. My hair is naturally brown, but I dye it red (when I can be bothered) so its more of an auburn with crimson streaks.
2. My eyes used to be blue, then they turned blue with green and brown, and now they're green completely.
3. I'm around 5'7-8".
4. My shoe size is 6, but it can go up or down depending on the shop.
5. Because we have the same shoe size, my Nan often steals my shoes, or even buys me some so she can borrow them!
6. I'm not 100% sure how much I weigh but it's around 9 stone, which I'm very happy with and enjoy being.
7. In the summer, I'm getting my second piercings done, but after I want three cartilage on my right and one on my left like in between my lobe and my cartilage (I don't know the name).
8. I've already planned four of my tattoos.
9. I'm going on holiday to Germany with my school in July and I can't wait!
10. As you've probably already seen, I'm a feminist.
11. My middle name is Jane.
12. My favourite Pretty Little Liars episode is 3x12, which is the Ghost Train one.
13. I couldn't pick a favourite Once Upon a Time episode, but I loved Series 3B with Zelena.
14. My favourite Liar is Hanna.
15. My favourite OUAT character is Hook (obviously he is also my soul mate)
16. I have abnormally long arms, they're like windmills.
17. I'm quite tall and very lanky, making dancing impossible.
18. You are unlikely to know someone who can procrastinate as well as I can.
19. I'm seeing Fall Out Boy in October with one of my very close friends.
20. I'm probably going to get trolled for this, but I really don't like Book!Katniss, especially in Catching Fire. The films portray her as a hero who is in love with two guys and she's innocent, when in reality she's quite selfish, and basically says she thinks she'll die so she let's Gale smother her in love and attention and not stop him! I mean-*burys head in hands*.
21. Today, I had to help cut a comb out of my stepsisters' head, because she thought it was a good idea to keep twisting it in then put conditioner on it.
22. I have an obsessive personality, which basically entails loving lots of things to an extreme.
23. My favorite food is Garlic Bread. Even though I'd happily eat a full baguette of the stuff, I get really self conscious of my breath which is vile because I just want to eat it already.
24. My best friend lives on the other side of the country.
25. But, I have 7 other best friends who I go to school with.
26. The main reason I'm still watching Gossip Girl at Series 4 is the wonderful puns for titles.
27. And Chuck Bass. Obviously.
28. My main ships are Haleb, Outlaw Queen, Ronks, Chair, the Ponds from Doctor Who and Filin (Colin O'Donoghue and Fina)
29. I'm running out of stuff to say, I'm honestly not that interesting.
30. I hate the Divergent movies. They just changed so much to make it like other franchises when we loved it for its variation in the first place! I haven't seen Insurgent and I don't plan on watching any of the others.
31. I cry at a lot of the films and TV shows I see.
32. In fact, I've cried at every film I've seen in the cinema in 2015 apart from one.
33. My favourite Disney princess is Tiana, but Belle and Rapunzel are close seconds.
34. My favourite Prince is Flynn Rider.
35. I watched both Pitch Perfect 1&2 for the first time in one day.
36. My favourite Avenger is Captain America.
37. My favourite Sherlock episode is the Pilot, along with 3x3.
38. I try to keep fit, but I'm really bad at it. 39. I blame the fact that three generations before me on my dads side got a note for every PE lesson so they could sit out. Literally every lesson in high school.
40. High School Musical 2 is the best one. Just saying.
41. Likewise, I prefer the Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea. But only by a tiny bit.
42. Since I was three, my favourite film has been the Nightmare Before Christmas.
43. Although, when I bawled my eyes out at the Corpse Bride because I disliked Victoria at the ages of 5, it too got a special place in my heart.
44. I prefer chocolate over sweets.
45. But I will pretty much eat anything.
46. I'm 15 in September.
47. I really love eyeliner. Like, a lot. Its a problem.
48. My favourite Hollister Spray is Paradise Beach.
49. I have a sister, two brothers, two stepbrothers and two stepsisters. All but one are younger than me.
50. Since there's so many of us, I now live next door to my step family and we plan on knocking through to create a big house.
And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this insight, and perhaps I'll do more of these type of things in the future, since I don't have much else to do.

Life Update

Hello!
First off, I'd like to apologise for my absense, but I've moved house and the first few days took a lot of work and organisation to sort things out. On top of that, I've only just got internet access in this house so I haven't been able to post anything on any form of social media.
Although I'm not in the room I will eventually have due to reasons I'm yet to be told about,  I will be decorating minimally with accents and designs that will also suit my younger sister when we eventually swap rooms. So, I thought I I could post those and the process once its complete.
Whilst on the subject of posting, I have several ideas floating around my head for blogs and I cannot wait to share them with you in the up coming future.
But for now,
Welcome to my paper life.
