Change is good...right?

I was thinking the other day, about the fact that in around 5 days I will be going into 6th form to do my A-levels. It's going to be different. Alot different. I think it will be good, having more independance in work and friends being in completely different classes. But I also think it's a tad scary.

I've been in this little bubble for the past 2 years GCSE's, and now it's all going to be jumbled up. I am looking forward to the work though. This 'holiday' has been a little tedious and a bit too long.

Never thought this would happen.

Today I was just surfing the web, and found that Patrick Stump (singer and guitarist of Fall Out Boy) was arrested last night!! Due to a traffic warrant for his arrest - for driving without a license or something like that.

He was released on bail for $15,000 a few hours later.

Shocks all around,

Edit.

Last blog I mentioned I had two favourites on the new Daughtry album.

I listened to it some more and actually love the whole thing so...it's a must to be honest.

Music to my ears.

Literally.

The other day I happened to download Daughtry's new album 'Leave this Town'. Just like the first album, it's a gorgeous mix of sweet ballads and good old rock and roll; and I would thoroughly recommend it to any Daughtry fan. And also to anyone in need of a new artist that is easy to listen to, and even easier to fall in love with.

My personal favourite off of the new album is between (as usual i can never find a favourite), 'Supernatural' and their new single 'No Surprise'.

On the version I got, they also did an acoustic cover of Lady Gaga's 'Pokerface'; I think it's refreshing to hear someone else sing it for a change.

Typical Brits

I turn on facebook today and there's a select few people moaning about the gorgeous weather. I must admit it's been sweltering and I haven't been able to bring myself to do much but come on! How often is it that here in Britain we have such nice weather? Later on in the week it'll probably be a monsoon! So in my opinion you should appreciate while you can.

I was browsing the internet about British people, and this list I found on the Telegraph website made me giggle:

TOP 50 'TYPICALLY BRITISH' TRAITS

1. Talking about the weather

2. Great at queueing

3. Sarcasm

4. Watching soaps

5. Getting drunk

6. A love of bargains

7. A love of curtain twitching

8. Stiff upper lip

9. Love of all television

10. Moaning

11. Obsession with class

12. Gossiping with neighbours over the garden fence

13. Obsession with the traffic

14. Enjoying other people's misfortune

15. Inability to complain

16. Love of cheap foreign holidays

17. Working long hours

18. A soothing cup of tea to ease worries

19. Eating meat and two veg

20. Looking uncomfortable on the dance floor


I only posted 20 but if you want to see the rest click here!

When electric hearts collide

This morning I was taking a nice hot shower, when the water suddenly turned absolutely freezing...we had had a powercut (hoorah). That left me to wash the conditioner out of my hair with water that was at most 5 degrees celcius and I can tell you it wasn't nice. Especially when you cant actually dry it because there is NO electricity.

It made me think actually. People nowadays are so reliant upon technology and electricity. I mean, when the power cut out; the first thing I heard my brother say was he hates it because he can't play COD4. And taking it on a wider spectrum, we have the internet, television, music...practically everything we enjoy involves electricity and to be honest, without it, we humans would be lost. Don't get me wrong the progress that man has made with technology is astounding but for all of that, we are all becoming addicted to technology.

I'm not saying I'm a saint; because I'm as bad as the next person. I'm updated my internet blog and browse the internet almost everyday. I watch TV, listen to music, download music and have a huge thing for DVD's. I just think a powercut is all we need to realise how prominent technology is in our lives.

Home again

So I'm back from Wales, and had such a good time. Fortunately for me the weather was beautiful, sunny pretty much all the time and spent majority of the time at the beach. I forgot how gorgeous Wales is. I was in the South in Abergavenny and everywhere I looked I was stunned by how unbelievably different from England. Mountains practically everywhere, covered in trees and random houses poking out of them :)

I've never really been all that amazed at the landscape in England, its flat and too similar everywhere you go. plus everything is covered in roads and fields that really don't inspire much in the imagination. I felt so at home there and for the first time in my life, it felt like somewhere i would like to live when I'm a little older. I've never really found that here.

I think it's important in life to find somewhere you know you belong. I feel sorry for people who are stuck in places they would really rather leave, and never get the opportunity to live elsewhere. People always get asked the question: "What is the meaning of life?" and stuff like that. For me, I think it's to find happiness. Anywhere. Or in anything. For those who say money (and I'm sure there's a few), I think they're partially right. Because to be honest in today's society where re you without it? It's not the most important thing in the universe clearly, but there is a place for it.

Yesterday

I know this blog won't refer to 'yesterday' forever, because well, tomorrow, yesterday will be today.

But, anyway. Yesterday I went on a little trip with family to Mablethorpe, which I have to say is a beautiful piece of coastline. As per usual when taking trips with my mother, involves alot of walking. Normally I hate it, but it was impossible. It was the best weather we've seen in a few weeks, with white sand, dark blue ocean (apart from the bit you were close to...that was more brown) and of course bright blue sky.

You actually would never guess we were in England given the present weather. for example, at the moment it's raining...surprise surprise.

A highlight was definately when we were all sat on the sand and my dog started digging himself a hole, then once it was the right size, laid in it. It was cute :)

It was you're typical day at the seaside, apart from the fact we didnt make any sandcastles like normal people, we walked. But it was fun :)

Oh yeah! And I almost forgot, there were LOADs odf Ladybirds! Which to be frank, confused me a bit! They were everywhere! Never seen so many. Apart from that town in America that was on the news.
