Currently Listening To...

Image
I don't particularly have a lot of music I've been listening to but it's been a while, and it's a Monday so I'm whipping a bit of something up. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainer , not something I'd usually like, I'm not a massive fan of Meghan Trainer, but I love Charlie Puth, I think the song is cleverly done and it's just my absolute jam at the minute. Fly Away - 5sos , I've already did a whole post on this I don't need to say anything else, the post is  here . Jet Black Heart - 5sos , this song is everything. I also did a post on that  here . (also all the she's kinda hot ep songs which is also on the link). This Ain't A Scene - Fall Out Boy , this song is my ultimate jam of all time. I love this song it's so catchy and I love the breakdown/climax part where it gets chanty, and the speaking part.. I love it when singers talk or laugh in songs. Nicotine - Panic! At The Disco , I'm obsessed with the Too

Operation Change My Life: Growing Up

I'm getting a post up two days running! And that's on a day I'm babysitting from 7am 'till 10pm how I'm finding the time for this I don't know. And how I'm coping writing this when I've got two playful kittens trampling over the keyboard and trying to sleep on the laptop, I also don't know. But I'm managing. Almost. So this post is inspired by a massive mistake I've made, one that could potentially ruin my life. I'd decided not to go to college until January for various reasons. This well thought out plan I had has now backfired in my face and I don't have anywhere to go next year. Yes, I've been accepted into my old college, but I really don't want to waste another year of my life doing something that isn't going to benefit me and my future. And because of that, it's really put me off the idea of going -even if I have no where else to go. But next year I might not be able to get back into college, which is where

Jet Black Heart & She's Kinda Hot EP Reaction/Review

Image
Today is a good day. Music wise. I have been blessed with 5 new 5sos songs, also Halsey's album came out today and although I'm too poor to buy it, I'm so excited to listen to it, because I can't wait to hear the story she has to tell. I really enjoyed writing a bit about She's kinda hot when it came out, and Fly away when that came out afterwards. So as soon as 5sos said they were releasing a new song off the album, and the EP was released today, the first thing I thought was blog post.  I'll start with Jet Black Heart. Fans are describing it as 'the only reason and wrapped around your finger had a baby and that baby became emo.' Because the only reason and wrapped around your finger are Michael's songs, his moment to shine in full glory. Michael has a really good voice, it's so gritty and dark and it's raspy and it's mysterious. So naturally Jet Black Heart, which is a dark song, sang mostly by Michael, it's just.. guaranteed to

My Childhood In A Post

Image
I had one of those really cool life moments where your like 'wow I love life' I guess you could say it was one of my Spontaneous Happiness moments -I seem to be having a lot of them lately. I was in the kitchen cooking bacon -WHY wouldn't you get happy over that though ? I felt like listening to a really cheesy song, and I ended up putting on Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega, and wow that is my childhood anthem! I jammed around my kitchen cooking bacon and listening to Mambo No. 5, it was  amazing . I also filmed myself doing it to see what I looked and like..  It got me in this childlike mind, which made me think of a Superfruit video I watched on YouTube ages ago, where they mentioned things that reminded them of their childhood. It's called Nostalgia -their video.  So I'm going to do the same. This is my childhood nostalgia, inspired by Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, and bacon. To point out, I'm a '97 baby so my memories are late 90s/early 2000s So every

Crazy Cat Lady!?

I am sat down. I have my music on. I have my green tea (health kick). I'm writing a post. Finally. When I said I was busy, I really did mean it, this is my first break from babysitting since the 11th. I think I've still done a post since the 11th but I don't remember exactly. I'm stressed at the minute, about grown up things, college things, weight things, child things, money things, just stressed. But I got a new 5sos shirt yesterday -I think.. it might the day before. However, this post is about something extremely exciting, and while it comes with a lot of stress at times, I am still excited to wake up every morning. I am now a parent to two adorable (sometimes.) (well actually no, always. Because even when I hate them because they're peeing on my freshly washed washing -they still remain adorable) (oh my goodness I sound like a middle aged woman) kittens!! Me and my spontaneity, I saw someone selling kittens (no they're not pedigree or rescue, yes they w

5SOS: Fly Away Reaction/Review

Image
5 Seconds of Summer have just dropped a bomb on us. Last night they released their new album pre-order, date and cover art. Us fans have been waiting so long! And when they said 'October 23rd' I was whaaaat! That's ages away! But it's really not, and to think it's suddenly so close to October, I think it's 71/72 days away until the release.. the year has gone so quick! So here's a quick whip up of what I think of the new song: Fly Away. I woke up this morning and I was scrolling on twitter and I JUST, JUST  caught a tweet saying an Australian radio show was about to play a new 5sos song. So I tuned in as quick as I could, I caught it by three minutes. I'm so lucky. They played the song and awwwww my god!!! It's so good. Someone had recorded it and put it on soundcloud which I've been repeating since I found it, and I now know all the lyrics.. The song starts with Calum, he sings a good portion of the song which I love , and the very beginning

I Passed My College Interview! (&Who Is 'A?')

Image
Currently living a busy life. My mum is working a lot and I'm constantly babysitting my brother, as well as other new family members .. which a very separate post is needed. That's why I haven't posted, I'm being bombarded with responsibility and I'm trying to find a way to juggle everything and find routine. For the first time in probably, a week, I've got a small window of 'me' time. And today is an exciting day, so I'm going to ramble a bit and get a few things off my chest. (whilst crying in pain at a mouth ulcer which has oh so considerately placed itself on the centre of my tongue) Today is my mum's birthday, though I'm not entirely sure she'd like me to announce what age she has just turned.. I remember writing a post last year about her last birthday, it's cliche to say this but it really does feel like yesterday I wrote it.. I remember it so clearly. And I wore my favourite dress. Today was also the day of my college in

Le Musée

I was up town earlier, we had finished doing what we needed to, but didn't want to go home just yet, so we took a spontaneous trip into the museum. I did this last year when I wasn't on my blog but still planning loads of posts. I took loads of photos ready to post them but never got round to it and now those photos are long gone. Aside from last summer, it's been years since I went to the museum, as a kid it was one of my favourite places, I'd play 'quiet geek spends entire life in library then one day meets cute boy and the exhibits come to life and kidnap girl and cute boy would save her' all the time. As a child the museum was a big adventure, I loved the history behind everything, but it was just a perfect place for games (this is not a posh museum where children are forbidden to make any noise, it's more of an educational park) I was never one of those rowdy kids running around pretending to be a dinosaur, I was very good at playing the quiet geeky gi
