The Hunger Games

So I've began reading this book called hunger games last night and am up to page 170, and I love it already. I'm not going to give any spoilers for your sake, but I will recommend it highly. As many of you shall know, the film is out in the cinema now (which I have only seen the trailer for) and it has Jennifer Lawrence in it who has been in many films I like, best of all X-men First Class, playing Katniss, the main character. Josh Hutchinson (from Bridge to Terribethia, one of my favourite films, and, ironically, Cirque Du Freak, which is one of my worst films, though he was still the best character in it) is also playing one of the main characters in it, playing Peeta Mellark.
Also, my favourite singer, Taylor Swift, made a song for the soundtrack - also on this blog - which I love.

Art GCSE help!

I need some advice on my Art GCSE exam - can anyone think of what themes I could do for art based on animals, or know any animal artists?

'Speechless'

Even though I don't like Lady Gaga all that much, I love this song by her called 'Speechless', probably the only song of hers I like and yet the one nearly everyone overlooks.It was actually written to convince her dad to undergo heart surgery according to wikipedia. This is what she said about her dad's situation; "My mom called me and I was very depressed. I was on tour and I couldn't leave, so I went into the studio and I wrote this song 'Speechless,' and it's about these phone calls. My dad used to call me after he'd had a few drinks and I wouldn't know what to say. I was speechless and I just feared that I would lose him and I wouldn't be there."

Here are some of the lyrics:

I can't believe, what you said to me
Last night we were alone
You threw your arms up,

Baby you gave up, you gave up 


I can't believe how you looked at me 
With your James Dean glossy eyes 
In your tight jeans with your long hair
and your cigarette stained lies

Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke? 

I'll never talk again
Oh boy you've left me speechless

You've left me speechless, so speechless

And I'll never love again
Oh boy you've left me speechless

You've left me speechless, so speechless

I can't believe how you slurred at me
with your half-wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
All my bubble dreams, bubble dreams


And so on. But yeah, I thought this would make a good blog post considering lyrics seem to be everyone's theme this week. :P

A Day in the Sun




























Here's some picture's of my two sisters Mina and Alana, my brother Blake, his friend William, Nathan, Alice and Daisy, along with my two dogs, Kane (the collie) and Skip (the English Toy Terrier) and I up the hill in one of my favourite places to hang out. I love this place, there's rarely any people that pass by and if they do they very often have a dog for Skip and Kane to play with, not to mention my house is quite literally at the bottom of the hill below the white horse, and you can see everything from up there. The cows have recently been moved from there so I'm also allowed to take the dogs in there without worrying about them.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I won't be at school - most likely for the whole day, but I might come back last two lessons. It actually works well for me, considering I also have a cold which has driven me insane - night before last I got around four hours sleep, where as I got to sleep at three last night, woke up quite often, and then woke up at around ten. Plus the fact that I feel as if there's a sort of powder on  the back of my throat constantly and I can hardly breathe (now I know what my asthmatic mum feels like most of the time).
I'm off school to go to the orthodontist (yes, I have braces), I think to get my wires changed.

Tarot Cards


Ok, so my friend Ethan and my sister Alana both have a small hobby for tarot cards, which are supposed to tell things about you. I tried out one thing where the first three cards you place down (after about 5-10 minutes of shuffling) tell you your past, whilst the next three tell you your future. Apparently my results were pretty good - the three on top are 'my future'.

My awesome photography






I took these pictures of my sisters and when it snowed here last.

Taylor Swift 'Bette Davis Eyes' and 'I want you back'



Could only get these songs live, but they're still good.

Kane my Border Collie :)



So I was thinking of making a video of these three photos put together to make him twirl, but I can't upload any videos off of movie maker onto my blog.
