Hackney Weekend

As you all know there was an event in Hackney, called the Hackney Weekend. They had celebrities performing, from Rita Ora to Ed Sheeran, Trey Songz to Nicki Minaj. They even had performances from DeadMau5 which I had only heard of when I actually got to the event.

We had the tiresome waiting before we actually got in to the midst of the whole thing. We had to go through the trouble of giving our tickets to the security guards about 3 times and then we had to go through a metal detector. When all that was done we got in to the main are where all the excitement was going on.

Apart from the exotic, and expensive, food stalls everything was brilliant. There were people there dancing like there was no tomorrow, all the bright colours. The walk from stage to stage was worth it to see the performers on stage, and as usual the celebrities didn't disappoint. Nicki performed many of her songs, some old some new, as did Trey, Ed and Rita. I have to admit though, as much as I love the others I have to say I enjoyed Ed the most, even though I missed most of his performance, he kept the crowd going, involving them as much as possible even getting us to compete with the other side of the crowd.

Overall, it was a great experience and I'm glad I went... Peace out.

New Beginnings and In With the Old??

So, I know it's been a long time since I've done a blog. I've been slacking on that front but I have made it a new years resolution. I know it's a bit late to be writing about new years resolutions now, in March, but it's still the beginning of the year and I have decided to start this year off differently. Among the few things on my list (Which is hung next to a poster of Justin Bieber) there are things like  I don't want to be one of the few college kids that open their A level/BTEC results and have the look of utter disappointment on their faces. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want that. I want to be as successful as I can and I'm still young so I guess I have a bit more time to decide. I know I want to be involved in writing and I know how much hard work it'll take. Taking part in NaNoWriMo has shown me how stressful writing can be, no matter how prepared you think you are. I did NaNoWriMo about 4 months ago and I have to say that the overall enjoyment ran off about half way through. the long days of writing had me wanting to cry and the stress of trying to get my average word count up was daunting, but pushing through made me realise that anything you put your mind to is possible and success is always in reach of those who want it bad enough. 4 months on and I'm struggling with editing. *sad face* I thought that all the hard work was over, silly me, right? I have about 3 months left to edit 3 times, and with all the coursework I get from college it's showing itself to be a hard task to complete.


Now on to other issues. I know I'm a bit late but I wanted to share my views on the whole Chris Brown and Rihanna rumour. Now we all know, vaguely, what happened all those years ago. We can't actually take sides as we weren't there that night but from what we do know many of us have decided to take Rihanna's side. Now I admit, at first I didn't want to believe that sweet voiced, nice guy, Chris Brown did that to someone but I guess evidence was against his unconvinced fans.   


When I first heard about Chris and Rihanna "getting back together" this year I was, I have to admit, against it if I'm honest. The thought of them being back together made me feel uneasy. You think that after what happened before they would know that maybe it wasn't the best thing for them in the long run, even though they might have had some feelings left.


I don't agree with violence especially when it's between the opposite sex. In most cases it's the woman who has the disadvantage and I think that's wrong. I think that given the circumstances they were both put in a very difficult situation. They are both quite influential in the media and pose as role models for many girls and boys all around the world.

Can't Wait For The Holidays

So, we have a week left until college is over and I'm completely drained. I've had a lot of work and early mornings. I've never been so tired in my life... Ok maybe I have but at this point I really can't remember.

I've been doing nothing but Psychology, English and Performing Arts but now with two days left I'm about to explode with excitement at the amount of sleep I'm going to get. I'm not really happy that we only get two and a half weeks off but, beggars can't be choosers. 

I have to say... I think I'm in love with Drake's new album. I mean, he never ceases to amaze me with how honest he is. He talks about everything from his mum to how many girls he's had. He's probably had too many to count but who's judging him.
I think when it comes to Drake you have to listen to his lyrics to understand where he's come from and how much it's taken him to get to where he is. He pours his heart out in his songs and I think that's a good thing to do because fans respond to honesty and real lyrics better than rappers talking about hoes and guns and jail, but that's just my opinion.

On to X factor. I'm glad that Little Mix won, I guess, but I really did want Marcus to win. He was so humble and sweet and kind. Everyone was saying that it was a fix but as usual the judges and everyone else involved in the show said different. There were even allegations that many black people accused the show of not letting Misha B win because she was "Too black." What can you do...

My new obsession: Korean dramas.
I can't get enough of them, I love how fashionable the characters are and I'm even more in love with the language.I just think that they're so good with their emotions.. the crying and the happiness or being angry. Not to mention that all of them are so cute. <3 I can't even tell you how many dramas I've watched. Films and Programmes. I love it. Aah

I've been so addicted to Twitter these past few days. When I first signed up to the site I was confused as to how it worked but now... I can get enough of the tweets and everyday I find a new account to follow and I love how many quotes I can relate to.

Until next time, Bye Bye

Random Ramble

Ok, first I'm going to start off by saying... HI
The second week of NaNo is coming to an an end and I'm a little behind but I can catch up soon enough.
I'm writing a YA fiction (young adult) and I have to say it's really hard. I have twelve main characters and to give all of them equal say in my story, has been hard, but even that's an understatement.

I hope I can do my characters and the plot, from my story, justice. At the moment my story is going in a good direction but I don't want it to go off the rails to the point where I don't know what I'm talking about or where to end it. 
Every time I ask my sister a question she has a go at me because NaNo is about just flowing. Just go with your first instinct, your first feeling and I had a hard time with that because I don't really like being wrong or feeling like I'm not writing to the best of my ability. 
I'm ready for week 3, I just hope I can do better this week, on the word count :P


Now, on to Justin Bieber. I know some people may disagree but I think that the song 'Christmas Eve' is... WOW!
Even some of the Bieber hating girls in my year HAD to admit the song was just, indescribable!
His whole Christmas album is brilliant, and I don't really understand why so many people dislike him so much. He's a young, aspiring singer and he is an inspiration to many people, young and old, all over the world.
I don't understand why people make up all these rumours about celebrities, and granted some of the allegations about many celebrities are true, but come on...

Justin Bieber getting a 19 year old girl pregnant?
Who knows what to believe...
Although in an interview I watched of Mariah Yeater she was quite convincing and I found myself asking why she would lie about something like that, but I don't think it's true.  
She said, and I quote "His whole demeanor changed." She also said he became more aggressive. I doubt many girls would believe that Justin Bieber is like this

If she is lying she has brought a lot of trouble on herself. She could face statutory rape charges and possibly go to jail for two years, and I don't think that is worth it for money. Apparently paternity tests "run in the family" and she also accused two other people before bringing in the Justin story.

So Excited!!

OK so NanoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month) is in a couple of days and I'm shaking in my new winter boots. I feel nervous and excited all at once...I mean who can contain so much excitement. I can already feel the adrenaline running through my veins and to be honest...

I JUST WANT TO START NOW!!

But I can't. I have to wait until the 1st of November, like everyone else, to start writing. Now I'm a little bit worried as the goal is to write 50,000 words in the space of 30 days.
With a few kicks up the butt...I WILL survive. Although I have some resentment towards my college at the moment. They don't give us any days of the week off... :(

I hope to make some new friends who can handle my everyday babble and love it.

Anyhoo.
Bye for now :D

My First Time

Hm... This is my first time doing a blog and weirdly enough, I have no clue what to write. I'm not going to write about anything specific, I'm just going to babble and make myself look totally bonkers and hope you guys get a kick out of it.

I'm 16 and I have a twin (Not identical) who I love and we both go to Sixth Form College. All of our friends are as crazy as we are… this just makes us even more outrageous.


My favourite colour is purple and I'm currently (very!!) obsessed with Ed Sheeran and his ginger hair <3. 
As you can tell by the name of my blog...I'm overly weird and wacky and sometimes have no control of when and where the crazy side will appear.

According to my sisters', who also own straightjackets, I have an alter ego called Gnarls and he's an aggressive and very obnoxious boy (lol) and maybe I do, but I won’t meet him so what can I say? NOTHING!
                                  

On to more normal stuff... Today I was meant to do some writing because like my sister (Thawriterzsoundtrack.blogspot.com) I’m passionate about writing and I hope I'm pretty good at it and I hope to get somewhere with it, someday.

Bye for now :D
