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.

One Direction Tour♥

Hello Lovelies!

I, along with many other teenage girls around the world, love One Direction with all my heart. I think they are funny, talented and hot! My favourite is Harry and Niall. I'm very lucky to have been to the x factor tour they were on, the Up All Night tour and now the Take Me Home Tour. At first I wasn't exactly thrilled about where we were sitting as it was so far back but luckily they had two stages and we were super close to the second one.

The support act was an Australian band called 5 Seconds to Summer. The band consists of four members; Luke Hemmings (Vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (Bass guitar, vocals) and Ashton Irwin (Drums, vocals). The other support act was some 13 year old girl named Camryn, but she wasn't exactly brilliant compared to 5SOS. 

Even though ive seen them before, when One Direction came on i could have died. They are so perfect in my eyes. From our seats we could see them clearly but the zoom on my camera stopped working-.- They did some songs from Up All Night and also Take Me Home but they covered Teenage Dirtbag and their Comic Relief single One way or another (Teenage Kicks). 

Germany Flashback

Hello Lovelies!

Last Summer, my family and I went over to Germany for a week. I didn't really know what to expect when I was told we were going but it was defiantly a place i'd never forget. It was so beautiful there and really warm! 

We stayed in an apartment so I didn't have to share a room with the boys. The view from my window was beautiful as it over looked a small square of all the apartments. There were a few benches and trees and it all looked so peaceful. There was little red vespa that was parked outside too and I really wanted to have a go but unfortunately I couldn't. 

One day we were walking over the bridge to get back to the apartment when we saw about a thousand locks upon the sides, maybe even more. Written on all of them we're two names written on each of them with a date. I looked into this and I found out they were love locks. Where couples write the date where they get married or meet and lock it to the gate and throw the key away in the river so its a symbol of ever lasting love. 

The shopping in Germany was amazing although I wasn't good working out the euros.  There was a huge zoo there too so we thought we'd check it out. However to get there we had to travel via cable car. Its fair to say I felt like I was about to die. My family were rocking the car to make me even more nervous than I already was. As we were going over the city, we saw a spa. But everyone laying outside was naked. It was so weird! 

The sights were mind blowing out there! Id kill to wake up to them every morning. I took a walk one afternoon alone to take a few photos and look around. There was a group of teenagers my age skating by the river. Their tricks were sick and they even taught me some.
