30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Sixteen

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you

Nicholas Sparks

This is rather fitting, considering I've just watched the movie version of Nights In Rodanthe. I absolutely adore Nicholas Sparks, as I've mentioned before. His stories aren't fancy or groundbreaking, they're just stories about people and their relationships. There's a bit of religion in there, and you can guarantee that someone is going to die, but they're just about love and family, and they just make me happy when I read them, even if I'm smiling through floods of tears! 

30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Fifteen

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die

My first choice for this one was volunteering in Africa, but I couldn't find the right picture to represent it. Anyway, the second thing on my list is a sky dive. I can imagine that it'd be the most thrilling thing ever to do, but I reckon I'd be too scared haha! They would literally have to push me out of the plane!

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

Ignore my black hair...I was going through a 'stage'.

I know I'm doing a lot of cheating in these blogs, but frankly, who cares? There's not just one person I couldn't imagine life without, therefore I can't choose just one picture. So I chose two. My two favourite pictures of my favourite people in the world, my family. Simples. 

There's obviously a lot of people missing from these photos, because my family is HUGE. But even though there's so many of us, spread out so wide, we're all extremely close and I love that :) Plus, I have to love them because we all look so much alike, I'd never be able to deny we were related! 

30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Thirteen

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist


This was actually a really hard one! My first thought was Snow Patrol, because they make up the majority of my top 25 most played playlist. Then I thought Jimmy Eat World, because they remind me of college and I adore The Middle, and Hear, You, Me is one of about four songs that have ever made me cry! The Script and Lifehouse were other possibilities, but I simply couldn't choose between them. Then I remembered this beautiful man...

Michael Grubbs

Grubbs is the lead singer of band Wakey! Wakey! and I absolutely love his voice! He played a character of the same name in One Tree Hill, and I fell in love when he sang this song...

Dance So Good (Youtube) PHWOAR! 

Anyway, download his album... Almost Everything I wish I'd Said The Last Time I saw You :)

30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Twelve

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

Well I love and want that clock, but the thing I really love is books! I just typed 'books' into google and that's one that came up..wow, it's amazing. Anyway...as I've said already in a previous blog, I really don't know how many books I've read in my lifetime. Let's just say it's plenty! I've also read the same books over and over again, because I always have to have a book to read, and sometimes I'm poor and can't afford to buy a new one. However, my friend Cait (blog) has just linked me to an amazing website which I'm sure is going to provide me with endless reading material from now on! 

The reason I love books so much is because when I read one, it's pretty much the only time ever that I can sit still and concentrate for more than five seconds! I go into my own world, or the world in the book, and just get lost. It's the most amazing feeling ever, along with the mixed feeling of finishing a book...both glad and sad at the same time that it's over. I love characters, and I often find myself in a fantasy love affair with a fictional character...sad I know, but oh well! 

My favourite author is Nicholas Sparks. I know a lot of people say he writes the same book over and over, and although I agree that yes, his books are about a lot of the same themes, and of course mostly all set in the same place, I just love his characters, and the love they all have for each other. Cheesy, yes, but I think I've displayed enough of my cheesiness over the last twelve days...or indeed the last 20 years... for that not to be a surprise anymore!

Another author I adore is Trudi Canavan, who wrote The Black Magician Trilogy. Other than obviously Harry Potter, they are the first fantasy novels I ever read. My mum bought them for me when I was about 14ish I think, as an unusual present, and I fell in love with them. After reading that website I've just realised that there's a second trilogy, ooohhhhh, so I think I'm definitely going to have to read those, although I hope they're not going to ruin my love for the originals! 

Anyway, that's enough procrastination! Byeeee! 

30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Eleven

Day Eleven: A picture of something you hate.

BLEUGH

This is just a silly one, because I don't like the word hate, it's very strong and shouldn't be used lightly! Therefore, I just thought I'd remind everybody of my...shall we say...disagreement...with vegetables! As I get older, I do eat more...if they're disguised! The best invention ever is hidden vegetable spaghetti! 

NOM

Yes, that's right...a 20 year old who has to trick herself into eating yukky veg. I'm not ashamed. 

30 Day Picture Challenge: Day Ten

Day Ten: A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with

Tish Tash Tosh

Although I have to admit that I don't do many '****** up things', (seeing as my idea of making the most of being home alone tonight is blasting my music and cleaning the flat...), but Tasha is definitely the person I have the most fun with when we're drunk! 

We have many games we like to play when we're out...pinchy bum and chat up line challenge are probably the best. Pinchy bum has actually got us in trouble a couple of times! I think one of the best nights out I've ever had is Halloween 2009, when we went out on our own and played an EPIC game of pinchy bum, that ended up in us being chased around Time (R.I.P) by a weird foreign guy. 

If you don't know the rules of pinchy bum, you basically stand in a big crowd, pinch somebody's bum, and then carry on with your conversation. It works best if there's two guys stood back to back...very funny reactions! The aim is to see how long you can get away with pinching the same person's bum without being caught :D 

Anyway so yeah, that's Tasha, my fave drinking partner <3 *Cough* GAY *Cough* I did actually try to find a picture of us playing a game, but I couldn't. There are MANY drunken pictures of us, but I didn't want to hurt anybody's eyes. Anyway...laterz!
