My top 10 films are:
1. The Hunger Games and Catching Fire - I put these two together because they are obviously part of a series and I love them both equally. I have not read the books but I will be getting them for Christmas. Both films are incredible though, I have the first one on DVD and I've watched it about twenty times haha. I saw catching fire at the cinema a few weeks ago when it first came out and it was amazing.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides - obviously, we have the fact that it's staring Johnny Depp who is such an incredible actor. There are mermaids in this one too which is why I love it so much, I also find it hilarious. The other films are really good too, but this one is definitely my favourite.
3. Harry Potter films - I put them all together because I can't pick which one I like the most. I love the books and I love the films. I saw the films first obviously and I loved them so much. I saw the last ever one at the cinema with my mum and we cried. Probably the best film series ever!
4. Alice in Wonderland - this is the Tim Burton version as it is much better than the others. Again, it's staring Johnny Depp as the mad hatter. I love the characters in Alice in Wonderland and it was one of my favourite stories as a child, I always saw myself as a bit of an 'Alice' to be honest haha.
5. Daybreakers - this film gives a much more realistic idea of vampires. They will not sparkle and fall in love with you. They will drink your blood. I saw this at the cinema when I was 13 and it was a 15 certificate but came out on DVD as an 18 so I felt so badass. My friend and I got told off for laughing when a guy's head got chopped off.
6. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones - my friend had read the book and forced us all to go and see the film with her. It was amazing. I pissed me off near the end, but I still loved it. I will be reading the books now. I really want them to make the next one into a film too because I'd love to see what happens next.
7. Beautiful Creatures - this is another book based film. It was so good though, I loved how they were called casters instead of witches, it makes the film different to others about witches. I thought that parts of it were incredibly sad and it made me so mad at times haha. It kind of ended on a cliff hanger which has annoyed me.
8. The Incredibles - I'm sorry for sounding like a child, but this is the best animated superhero film ever! I love the way it involves the whole family too, when I was a child I always wanted my parents to come over to me one day and tell me that they're superheroes and that I'm one too haha.
9. Dispicable Me - oh my gosh. I've only seen this the one time, but I loved it. It was hilarious and amazing. I also really want my own minion now, they're so cute. And when he kisses them all goodnight...awwww.
10. Love Actually - it's hilarious, Christmassy, and romantic. It's also got my mums favourite actor in it, Alan Rickman, who portrayed Severus Snape in Harry Potter. The film always makes me laugh and I find it such a sweet film too and it gets me into the Christmas spirit.
Thos are my top 10 favourite films, I'll do another top 10 soon. They're in no particular order really, I guess my most favourite ones are near the top.

Cursed
I am one of those people that have bad things happen to them all the time. I swear I'm probably cursed!
So today I found out that my brand new headphones don't actually connect to my phone properly so I had to walk home only listening to half of Alone Together by Fall Out Boy which annoyed me so much! Yesterday I burnt mine, Amy and lish's pizza. On my birthday! A few days ago I brought a hot chocolate and if thought I waited long enough for it to cool down before I drank any but I was wrong and I burnt my mouth.
I have a feeling it's worse on Friday the 13th because last year I slipped into a massive muddy puddle and I was covered in mud head to toe all day! Right now everyone keeps telling me to be careful because it's Friday 13th this Friday. I may have to blame my nanny for the whole Friday 13th part though because bad things happen to her too as last year she broke her arm on Friday 13th.
On my birthday danisnotonfire aka my favourite youtuber was supposed to be uploading a new video which was really exciting, but it wasn't uploaded until the next day because it took so long for him to edit it and I didn't get to see the new video on my birthday. I also forgot my phone when I went to sixth form on my birthday so I couldn't reply to anyone's "happy birthday" texts either.
I am constantly tripping over things, even if there's nothing to actually trip over I still manage to trip. I fall UP the stairs and down them too. I always burn food whenever I try to cook. I am super clumsy, do not let me hold anything that might break because I will drop it and you will hate me.
I hope I'm not actually cursed. If I am then I hope I get cured because I am a good person who does not deserve to suffer! Haha, have a great day guys!

Friendship
This post is about friendship. I've had many different friends throughout my sixteen (almost seventeen) year of existence, but none have ever really been as good as the ones I have now. I've been friends with bitchy people, drama queens, annoying people, mean people, the list goes on. It wasn't until I became friends with my current friends that I learnt the true meaning of friendship.
We're going to start with Amy, simply because her name begins with an A. I don't remember when I met Amy, I think it was in English in year eight though. She had a nice little fringe back then haha. We became quite good friends throughout the years and we've grown a lot closer lately as she's in my sociology and maths classes at sixth form so I see her the most. She is a really kind and funny person who I am privileged to have her as a friend. Near the end of summer Amy got a job at Burger King and became the "burger queen". I remember that we would call her "A* Amy" because she used to always get an A* in tests. Back in year eight or nine she called me bandana lady because I wore a bandana a few times (I was really cool). That was around the time when we discovered that her mum and my aunt were really good friends in high school. Lately we've spent a lot of time together and she's probably my closest friend right now. She knows all my secrets and we have great times on the late bus with her "bump noises" haha. I hope I never lose contact with her when we both go off to university or become a manager at Burger King haha!
Next is Paige. I think I met Paige in year eight too, I'm not sure though because I have the memory of a deranged goldfish. We bonded through laughing at lish during PE saying she ran like a penguin. We grew closer over the years and eventually she became my "zero best friend". I have written a whole blog post about her if you want to know more about her. She's one of the funniest people on the whole planet and I really do miss her so much now as she's a college while I'm at sixth form. I wish I could see her more often as I'm worried we are drifting apart.
Lish is third. I met lish in year eight. Obviously our friendship started with Paige and I laughing at her (which we still do now). We became really good friends over the past few year as we have a lot in common. We both love the same tv shows, films, books, some of the same music. This means that we always have something to talk about and we get along really well. She's a very short girl who's obsessed with the vampire diaries and the wanted. She's boy crazy (which is not surprising when you know how many celeb crushes she has) and she's very cheery. She's always there for you when you're upset and she's a genuinely nice person who I'm glad I'm friends with!
Moving on to the fabulous Elli. (I have wrote a whole blog post about her too because she complained about not being in my blog enough) I have known Elli since fist school. We have had our differences in the past, but now we get along so well. We're in the same psychology class which brought us closer together and I call her Beryll sometimes.She's absolutely hilarious and so small. I swear she has the worlds tiniest hands, they're so adorable. She's definitely slightly insane, but that's what makes her who she is. She's a kind girl who's super smart (smarter than me haha) and she gives amazing cuddles!
The last few (I'm only writing them all together because I'm tired and lazy now haha) are Siobhan, who it completely obsessed with horrible histories and yonderland. We've had our differences but overall we're really good friends and she's really funny and nice. There's also Maddy who I only met a few months ago, but she's really nice and funny and we have psychology together so we're getting to know each other better. Jessie is a wonderful person who's hilarious and cuddly. She is just as weird as Elli but that's a good thing haha. There's also Kezia, I've known her since year seven. She's one of the kindest people ever and she's really smart and funny too. I remember once in English she spilt her water all over the the table and we spent the rest of the lesson slowly cleaning it up and it was hilarious. Ellen is incredibly good at art and photography. She's a really funny and kind person. I remember we were really close in year nine and we had this "immature" fight.
There are probably a few people I haven't talked about yet, I'm sorry if I did leave anyone out. I love all my friends so much and I'm so glad I met every single one of them!

Health and Fitness
It's quite ironic that I'm blogging about health and fitness since I am currently the most unhealthy person like, ever! However, I am tired of being unfit and overweight so I am starting a new diet and fitness regime. I would normally say "oh I'll start that tomorrow or Monday" but not this time. I am starting now. I am really excited about this because it means I'll be able to lose some weight, which I really need to do haha. It will also make me feel much happier.
Luckily there are two exercise machines in my house, and I have my own weights. This means I don't have to go to any gyms or have to use an exercise DVD (because they really annoy me). It will be tough to only eat healthy food and exercise every day, but I will constantly remind myself why I am doing it which will hopefully motivate me to keep going.
I know that it will be a long and difficult process for me, but I know that it will be worth it. I'm going to be 17 soon and I don't want to be stuck this weight for the rest of my life. My friends and family always tell me that I'm fine and I don't need to lose weight, but I really do and I need them to be supportive of me. I want 2014 to be the year I achieve my goal weight, hopefully by the end of February (or sooner, I don't know) in time to see my favourite band as a way to "earn" the concert tickets for myself.
If any of you want to get fit or have some kind of goal that you want to achieve, then go for it. Start now. Right now. You'll succeed. And you'll feel great about it. Hope you all have a great day!

Exciting Events
There are so many events coming up that I'm really excited about. So I thought I'd tell you all about them.
First, is my birthday! Which is in exactly a week! That's seven days guys! I'm really excited. I'm going to be getting some 5sos stuff, some CDs, some books, and some money. My two friends Amy and Lish are coming round mine in the afternoon and we're going to have pizza and watch films. I have got sixth form on my birthday, but I only have one actual lesson, the rest is private study and conference.
Second, is Christmas! I am excited for Christmas for obvious reasons. I'm not going to go on too much about it. I'll be getting Death Note DVDs, more books, more CDs, more 5sos stuff, and Sherlock.
Third, is ice-skating. I don't know when we're actually going to go, but my friends and I are going to go ice-skating at some point. It will be me, Amy, Emma, Elli, Lish, Siobhan, Emily, Kezia, Paige, and probably some other people I have forgotten. (Sorry if I forgot anyone)
Fourth, is new year. I am excited for it to be the new year because it means I can make new crap New Years resolutions that I don't stick to and stay up till midnight, though I'll probably be in bed by seven. I can also open my "good things in 2013" jar and look back through all the good things that have happened this year.
Fifth, is lish's birthday in January. I'm excited for this because we will probably do something for her birthday which will be fun!
Sixth, is city of bones comes out on DVD in January. I'm excited because I saw the film at the cinema and I loved it, hence I'm getting the books, and I really want to be able to watch it again.
Seventh, is the 5SOS concert! I am buzzing so much for this! I have not shut up about the concert since I got tickets! I just...ASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUIOP! Sorry, I'm a bit excited!
Eighth, the fault in our stars movie. I am incredibly worried that the movie won't be as good as the book and that I'll be disappointed. But hopefully it will be amazing and make me cry like the book did.
Ninth, is summer in the city. I don't know when tickets are actually going to be available, but I really want to go. Chances are, they'll either be too expensive, sell out, or my parents won't let me go. But I'm hoping I'll get to go so I can meet all my favourite youtubers!
Tenth, is the 5SOS album. I don't know when it's actually coming out. The boys keep saying it will be soon, but who knows?! I really just want to listen to the whole album already!
So, quite a few exciting things that I am looking forward to. I hope you all have some great things to look forward to too!

Winter Wonderland
I love winter, it's my second favourite season. First of all, you have Christmas. Christmas is amazing obviously, with the presents, food, family, food, Santa, food. Secondly, there's snow. I love snow! You can build a snowman, have snowball fights, get into trouble for having snowball fights. Plus the snow looks really pretty when it lays on the ground. Thirdly time off school/sixth form etc. This means, no work to do which is always nice. No annoying teachers or deadlines.
I know that there are also bad sides to winter. If you're poor then it's difficult to afford good presents, if any, which can be quite depressing and make you feel bad. Secondly, you might not be able to see your family at Christmas, if you're away or they are. Thirdly, it can be quite stressful having to cook the dinner or make the buffet, to buy and wrap the presents. Finally, it's very, very cold! However, there are several things you can do to keep warm during winter, here are a few of my suggestions.
Things you can do to keep warm:
1. Use lots of blankets
2. Drink hot drinks
3. Wear thick coats, hats, gloves, scarves
4. Wear big thick jumpers
5. Fluffy socks
6. Cuddles
7. Staying in your warm comfy bed
8. Fires and heating
9. Not actually going outside
10. The heat from your computer on your lap
I hope you all enjoy this winter, get all the presents you want and stay warm. Speak to you later my lovelies!
