The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Hello Lovelies!

The perks of being a wallflower is not only a film but a a fantastic book also. The books genre is 'coming of age' and the recommended age is 14. The main character is Charlie. He is starting high school and his best friend from middle school was having trouble at home so killed himself. The book itself is set up as a letter where Charlie is writing to "friend".


Charlie himself has mental problems and gets angry. He sees things and thinks things we wouldn't usually. Like about other peoples lives and if they are happy and if not, why. He thinks a lot and keeps quiet about his thoughts. He meets Sam and Patrick who introduce them to their other friends like Mary Elizabeth and Alice. 


I don't really want to spoil the story for you, because if you haven't read it then I really recommend it. I read the whole book within two days and it usually takes me longer due to studying and other stuff. The book is really inspiring and eye opening and at times sad. None the less, it is a brilliant!



The Script Tour♥

Hello Lovelies!

If you don't already know, The Script are an Irish band that consists of three members; Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power. In 2011 I was fortunate to see them live with my mother and they were one of the best live acts i'd seen. So when I heard they were touring again this year, I knew I had to get tickets. I managed to get some for me and my best friend. However it was a standing tour which I wasn't looking forward to as I’m quite short. 


The support act was another band. I can’t remember the name of the band. I wasn't that interested in them if I’m honest. Their music was too loud to understand what they were singing about and isn't that the whole point of a song? To listen and understand the meaning behind it? So we decided to get a drink and sit down by the side. A boy around 19 came up to us and he was clearly drunk. He had lost his friends and handed me his phone to contact them because he was too drunk to do so himself. I'm not sure if he ever did find them in the end. He started dancing with me randomly and it was really funny in a way as I was completely sober.


When they finally came on, everyone screamed. They started with the first song from their album #3 which is ‘Good Ol’ Days’. We pushed our way into the crowd and found a space. Unfortunately it was next to a bunch of middle aged drunks who danced crazy and split beer over everyone and it went all over my legs. I wasn't impressed. They were funny to watch though. Especially when they started singing ‘Nothing’ and they all broke down crying in the pool of beer they had made on the floor. 


They even rang a girls ex boyfriend on stage which was awesome and told him what he was missing. All in all it was a great night and I would definitely see them again if I had the opportunity too.
