Books and Movies I wish I lived.

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and wished you could live it?? I have, plenty of times. Mainly its romantic scenarios but also some actiony ones. Take the Amazing Spiderman films, I would love to be Gwen Stacey (partly because in the second movie she has some amazing clothes) but also because imagine the views when your swinging from building to  building (holding on tightly to Spiderman.......) So here are a few of the books or films which I wish I could live (but never will)

• Pirates of the Carribean, Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me!
• Avengers Assemble, I so would be Natasha Romanoff and kick some major butt!!
• Bridget Jones Diary, Give me ten years and that would so be my life!!
• The Boat that Rocked, A pirate radio station in the middle of the ocean in the swinging Sixties... YES PLEASE!!
• Peter Pan, I do believe in fairies. I do. I do.
• Harry Potter, I want to go to Hogwarts!!
• Any Agatha Christie book, but I want to be the one that solves the murder, give me 50 years and a change of name form and I will be Jane Marple!!
• The Roman Mysteries Books, I used to love these when I was younger. I just wanted to be in Ancient Rome and solve crimes... and still do if i'm totally honest!

So there you are. A few of the books and films I wish I lived. Even though it will never happen, I have a very mad imagination so i'll see you in the Sixties on a Pirate Radio Boat or in Neverland fighting Captain Hook or even on the Black Pearl with Jack Sparrow!

So till then,

Peace and love dudes, peace and love! :P

My Favourite Fictional Characters

Over the years I have read a lot of books and probably watched even more films and TV Shows. Therefore I have developed a long list of favourite Fictional Characters so I've decided to share some of them with you and why I love them so much.

• Sherlock Holmes, The Benedict Cumberbatch version... because.... *sighs* Benedict........ 
• Hercule Poirot, There is something intriguing about the little egg shaped headed Belgian who solves crimes, has OCD and has a rather magnificent moustache. 
• Miss Marple, She would be that Granny that everyone loves and would also always have Tea and Cake ready. (Can you tell I like Agatha Christie??)
• Bridget Jones, She is just amazing
• Loki, He is just phowar!!!!!!
• Olaf from Frozen, because he doesn't have a skull.... or bones
• The Doctor, He can time travel and has a tardis... what not to love. 
• Barney Stinston, because he's Legend... wait for it and I hope your not lactose intolerant because the second word is dairy!
• Joey Tribbani, He is just awesome!!
• All of the History Boys, just because!
• Cadfael, He's a crime solving medieval monk!!
• Captain Jack Sparrow, He's a Pirate!! and hilariously funny!

There are a lot more which I just can't think of right now, So till next time..... Goodbyeeeeeee

Dear Sarah, The One Where I Am Jealous!

Now I feel left out, You and Tom are both going on 2 Holidays :( Although it does mean that while your both spending money I'll be saving it!! Haha. I'll class mine and Tom's trip to Leciester to see you (when we eventually do it.. Will probs be beginning/ middle of September maybe?)  as my second holiday!

Congrats on the new cousin by the way. Did you manage to finish the Blanket in time? Babies are so cute, apart from when they are grumpy and crying which makes up about 50% of the time that they're not sleeping!! You wouldn't believe that I  exactly like my job would you??

I've discovered I can get 10% discount at Hobbycraft so I might have to make a shopping trip to Sixfields and have a gander :D Might try and make myself a nice Top or something nice like that. Depends how expensive the material will be. Don't want to spend all my months wages in a the space of week when it has to last me a month!

I think I've told you i've rebooked my Theory Test haven't I? I have that in 10 days. Then 10 days after that its my birthday so in 20 days I'll be 20! How cool is that! 

Whats left to say?? Have fun on your holiday and hopefully I'll see you soon!! 

P.S. I found some films we have to see when they come out!! I've linked the trailer below so enjoy!! ( plus the random funny one for my own amusement!) 

The Riot Club:

Paddington:

And DAVID TENNANT!! :

Superheroes!!!!

Life would be way better with Superheroes in it wouldn't it, Batman and Superman being normal sights in common life, saying "Hi" to Captain America as he walked down the street (Ok, Maybe he comes to England for a holiday?? Or to film the second Avengers movie!!)  Me, Sarah and Tom are all going to wear something 'Superheroey' for the flight to go to Crete on Holiday (because we're strange like that...) So Sarah is going to wear a Superman T-shirt and Tom is going to wear a Batman T-shirt and I'm going to wear a t-shirt which has Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Wolverine on it ( It also says 'I ♥ Men in Uniform... which is true!) Superheroes are just amazing. 

Some Superheroes don't even have Special Powers. Take Batman... He wasn't bitten by a radio-active spider or given a super-serum, he made himself a Superhero which means that technically I could be a Superhero! I could build a mechanic suit and save the world, save the world on a daily basis. All I need to do now is build my superhero suit and then i'm sorted!!! 

Ooooh Captain!!!

Disney!!!

'Growing old is mandatory, Growing up is optional' - Walt Disney

I'm not ashamed to admit it, I LOVE DISNEY!!!! There is something about those films I just love, and when I say Disney I mean the Disney Animations. Hopefully I will never grow out of my love for these films, they have many likable characters and can have humour which would appeal to both children and adults.... And I know i'm not the only 19 year old who still wants to watch Disney movies at the Cinema!!

In honour of my long fascination with Disney, here are my favourite Disney movies so far:

• Peter Pan- Because I want to be like Peter Pan and never grow up!!!
• Mulan- Everyone wants to dress up as a man, join the army, save Imperial China and fall in love right??? Hmmm just me then.
• Tangled- There is something about that scene on the lake with the lanterns.
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarves- Moving aside the creepy scene with the boulder at the end that used to freak me out when I was 5, the rest of the movie is awesome and I've fallen in love with Dopey. Although whenever I hear Whistle While You Work I always think of the Dad's Army version....
• Frozen- Olaf. Sven. Need I say more??
• Robin Hood- Catchy songs and loveable characters. However never watch The Jungle Book before or after.. you may notice some similarities..
• Jungle Book- The vultures which are supposed to be The Beatles, I Wan'na Be Like You and Baloo the Bear. End of.
• Dumbo- If you ignore the weird scene where Dumbo gets drunk and sees Pink Elephants the rest of the film is quite good.

So there you have it... there are probably other films which aren't released yet that I will end up loving and ones I haven't put on my list. If you think there is some missing comment below and tell me your favourites!!

You've got to love Dopey!!!!

Ten Things I've Learnt from Rom-Coms.

I admit it... I love romantic-comedies. They are one of my many weaknesses. They provide a method of escapism and a way to view the world in a different light. They also provide valuable life lessons to (slightly..) normal people like me. In honour of this important fact. I will share with you Ten of the important lessons that I've learnt from some of my favourite Rom-Coms. These include:

1. Life is short so make the most of it (About Time) 
2. Even if life seems rubbish, things will work out in the end (Sliding Doors)
3. Christmas Jumpers are always amazing (Bridget Jones Diary)
4. Don't eat a Mushroom Omelette in a Foreign Country... Might not be normal mushrooms (Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason)
5. Never put make-up on in a dark taxi (Also Bridget Jones:Edge of Reason)
6. Normal people can fall in love with Movie Stars (Notting Hill) (There's hope for me and Benedict Cumberbatch yet then!!)
7. Sometimes everything is inter-linked (Love Actually)
8. You can never swear too much (Four Weddings and a Funeral) (If you've seen the beginning you know what I mean!!)
9. Running in the rain to a Snow Patrol song is a good thing (I Give It A Year) 
10. Finally... Living on a Pirate Radio boat in the sixties was actually pretty awesome!! (The Boat That Rocked)

Ok. I know that they are all mostly Richard Curtis Romantic Comedies but he makes the best ones!! 

Anyway, I hoped you've enjoyed this post. I will post another one soon when I've thought of some more ideas..... so for now...

(Continuing on with the Richard Curtis Theme....)
