Update: Blog content!

This is just going to be a quick post to tell you what I've decided to add on to blog which will be a monthly thing. I'm going to start posting book reviews of books I've read and read new books to recommend to all you book worms out there, as I love reading so I thought it would be a good idea to share all the little literature treasures I've found and spread the book love!


I also had another idea: to make a youtube account. This would be for putting up singing and piano videos, but I'm not really sure whether I want to go ahead with this idea yet as I'm terrible just talking/performing to a camera. So that might be something that maybe comes up in the future.


That's all from me for now. Write you soon,

SWS and PTV World Tour!

Okay, so right now I am one happy girlie as my tickets for Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce The Veil have arrived, and it's not long until they'll be here in England and I'll be raving in the mosh pit with my best friend. Too f'ing excited. Also, PTV have a new album coming out sometime early next year which has reduced me to a hot mess, just painfully waiting for it to be released. So when it does finally arrive, I will be jamming out and pretending that I'm there at the concert. What a sad life I lead; the pleasures pains of being a fangirl.


So, is anyone else going to the SWS vs. PTV tour? Or just got any cool gigs coming up? I know that BMTH are doing some concerts soon, as well as ATL and YMAS, which I've missed out on getting tickets for. Absolutely gutted. *sobs uncontrollably*. If anyone's going, would you mind sneaking me in your bag,? No? Oh, okay... Let me know how it was though?;)


If you're reading this, I hope you have a good day and that I haven't bored you to death.

"One Man, Two Guv'nors"

Good morning everyone! Unless you're in England with the miserable weather, like me, then you'll probably want to stay at home and snuggle up in your nice warm bed. Ha, wishful thinking!


Yesterday was a day full of nerves and tension for me. I had my last trial term exam for BTEC Drama and I was absolutely terrified.  I had to perform a monologue from either a play or film script that was at least 14 lines long, which is pretty lengthy when you're up there alone with the fear that your peers and tutor are seriously judging you.


Although my nerves were on edge, I think everything went okay,so hopefully when I get my grade back it won't be too bad! With my exam out of the way, I'm feeling a lot more refreshed and can actually look forward to the drama trip our group is going on. We're venturing out to the Curve Theatre in Leicester to see One Man, Two Guv'nors with a cheeky little stop at Nandos for lunch (best part about the trip!). The play is a comedy written by Little Britain star and co-writer, Matt Lucas,so I've got high hopes for it and I'm 99.9% certain that I will giggle the whole way through!


So looking forward to today and hope that everyone else has a good day too!

Hiatus Finally Over!

Update of What I've Been Doing... More like not doing


Hi guys! I've finally managed to return to my internet hidey-hole, and it's been far too long!


I've had to take a long, unexpected hiatus that is definitely not because I forgot password. Yeah, definitely not... *looks around suspiciously while whistling*. Kidding aside, I have been ridiculously busy for the past few months, which is quite a change for my mundane, internet-obsessed existence. As well as forgetting my password, idiot, I have done my GCSE's, had a brilliant holiday, returned to results, and finally started college! So, I feel that this is a valid excuse for neglecting my internet hidey-hole... even though no one reads it anyway, so it doesn't matter.


Reluctantly, I have stumbled my way through the first month of college, albeit with caffeine as my only source of motivation and willpower. So far, it's been pretty cool and I'm so glad to be free from the atrocity that is school uniform.


Enough of college talk though, while on hiatus, I've been very lucky and travelled to Portugal and France during summer holidays. Portugal was absolutely beautiful, the food was like one big Nandos (heaven) and the weather beats miserable Britain any day! On the other hand, France felt like I hadn't even left the country! Although I got some much needed r & r (and excessive amounts on my 3ds), ten days out of the twelve that we were there were spent inside, while watching the downpour from the window like a sad scene in a soppy chick flick. 


Pretending to star in a blockbuster movie, bad weather and generally hibernating for literally the whole summer holiday aside, things have been going quite well for me and now that I'm finally back to my boring life, I can start blogging more regularly again.


P.S. If anyone, by chance, reads this post please comment on what I can do to improve my blog. I will be starting to post more but getting some ideas of what people might like would be great. Thanks :) x

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: New cover edition

Hello everyone! Today I'm actually going to be talking about the seventh and final instalment of the Harry Potter series. Yes, I know it probably sounds very strange as it's been out for years now and the movie has been released but yesterday I found a little gem as I was looking through the bookshop.

I have been a huge Potterhead for years and I have grown up with the series and supported it all the way. Obviously, being a massive fan can sometimes lead to impulsive buys of merchandise and exactly this happened when I found a new cover edition of the Deathly Hallows that I had not yet got. I had briefly seen this design elsewhere, but wasn't actually that keen on it but when I saw it yesterday I was immediately drawn to it with an overwhelming feeling of excitement and felt like I should get it.

So, I did indeed get the different addition which is shown above. I think I actually prefer this cover to the original because it's not as busy as the other edition and I like how the title's in a different font and "Harry Potter" is in gold writing which is a really nice touch. Apart from the covers and that this is a paperback and my other copy is a hardback, there's no other differences but I think it's nice because this version will appeal to a different audience who don't want to buy the others which could be seen as a little childish (I personally love the original cover designs but this is very nice as well).

 I also got "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" which I haven't read yet, but I had a cheeky little peek at the first page and it's already brilliant. It also has little side notes and scribbles from Harry, Ron and Hermione so I'm looking forward to reading it!

So that's it for this post and the next thing I'm going to blog about is a new beauty product that I got recently, which I think deserves a post! Write you all soon!

2014 Is Here!!

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! I haven't been on in a few days as I've actually been busy for once. (Still not sure if I like socialising). But, I'm going to be very cliché here and say: new year, new me. Not in the way that people say it and don't actually do anything; no, I'm actually going to make a fresh start this year. The last four years have not been easy for me, especially 2013, however this year I'm going to try and make a massive change to my life: Recovery.

I'm not going to go into heaps of detail because it's not needed and I don't really want to share that information to practically anyone and everyone. The main thing is that over the past years, I have been in a very bad place and things have been tough; even little tasks like getting out of bed or making a cup of tea. I want to change this though and this is where recovery comes in. I want my life back and know it's not going to be easy but I know that's going to be worth it.

Anyway, I hope 2014 brings you all lots of happiness and memories and I'll be posting again very soon as I went shopping today!

Hello!

For some reason, and I don't know why, I decided to publish a proper review as my first post. Now, I've realised that it was a bit silly because I should have done a sort of introduction post just to you know, break the ice if you like. So, I've decided that this will be my introductory/welcome post and I'll just tell you a little bit about myself so I'm not a complete stranger.

Hello! My name is Roisin and I'm 15 years old. I live in Britain and want to be a musician when I've fished all my studies. I decided to start a blog because I thought it would be something quite fun to do and I've always liked the idea of my own little internet space where I can put my thoughts.

I've always been a bit of a bookworm a massive bookworm. I used to read all the time but I don't have much time any more, but I do like to pick up a book as often as I can. My favourite books have always been the Harry Potter books because they are just so fantastic and I feel like I can get away from all my troubles when I'm reading them.

Music has always been a part of my life too. Listening to it and playing it as well. I started to play the piano at age 9 after trying violin and guitar without much success. But once I had started piano, I loved it and I'm not too shabby now after 6 years of practise.

So that's me, in a nutshell. I could say more but I don't want to go on too long and make this post any more uninteresting! I hope you guys start to read my blog, I'll be getting more posts up soon but I've only just started blogging and hence the lack of posts.

Thank you for reading and welcome!
