2012 is here, but goodbye 2011 which was a great year

So 2012 has finally arrived, however I am a little sad to see 2011 go as I have had a great year. I've had so many amazing adventures but hopefully this year I will have more.

The highlight's of 2011 for me were:

Going to the titanic exhibition,  this was a awesome present from my great friend to go and see this in London.

I went to the magical Disneyland Paris in July and to say I had an amazing time word's cannot describe


I then got to meet various Harry Potter cast and the awesome Karen Gillan from Dr Who, it was a quick 'hi' and then autograph but she was lovely at the London Film and Comic Con





Then another convention was the London Media Show at Earl's court where I met Eve Myles, Sean Patrick Flannery, Arthur Darvill and many more :)




But I have left the best to last and that is HALLOWHEDON, now this was the best thing I did last year and I am happy to say I am going again this year. I met so many amazing cool people who I hope are going again this year. I got to meet the one person who I have wanted to meet since I first started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Anthony Stewart Head and he rocked.






So they were some of my best highlights of 2011 but stay tuned for more adventures in 2012 :)

Eleven days to go!!!!!!!!!!

Everyday I am getting more and more excited, I have finally finished all my Christmas shopping and have wrapped it all up. I know I am sad but I love wrapping up presents, I cannot wait to hand them out to everyone and see the look on there face, that is the part of Christmas I love the most - giving presents.
The next week is going to be crazy with work and family trying to fit everyone in and see them before the big day.
Part of me is also really excited by next year coming round as my friend and me are looking to move out and get a geek house together. I am really excited as I am now at the age where I should be out in the world making my own way and fending for myself. Plus there maybe a few other new developments in my life but I don't wanna jinx it by saying anything yet so stay tuned.

It's getting chilly
 Now I am wondering where all the snow is but I must say it seems to be getting colder and colder everyday. Above is me and Nicola out and about the other night and omg it was soooo cold.



The other night was a Lunar eclispe however all I could see was this and thought it was beautiful

Movie weekend

Today is my seveneth day of my new diet and I am happy to say I lost 3lb this week, I have been on the special K diet where I eat two bowls a day one for breakfast and one for lunch then a sensible meal in the evening. I have also cut out all soda, chocolate, cakes and crisps. I am usually terrible at sticking to diet but I am actually enjoying this one I am really motivated to get back in to shape and keep a healthy diet.
On thursday I also started Zumba, I have done salsa and contry dancing in the past but nothing this energetic. To say I have the rythm of an ironing board is an understatement but I will get the hang of it in the end :)


I managed to get to the cinema this weekend and watch the new cowboy and aliens and it is fantastic. It makes a change for Harrison Ford to play a bad guy however he pulled it off and even made the characther likeable so even though you start off hating him you end up routing for him. Daniel Craig as always doesn't disappoint however his performance did remind me slighy of James Bond but I love Bond and I loved this. So Craig plays a wanted outlaw Jake who wakes up in the desert with no memory and a strange bracelet on his wrist heads in to the nearest town. When he arrives a series of events lead him right in the middle of an attack by alien ships. The bracelet on his wrist activates and he manages to destroy on of the craft. Harrison Ford plays a grumpy civil war vet Dolarhyde and together with Craig they set out to save the towns people which includes Dolarhyde son. They mount a rescue group and it consist of a cowardly doctor looking for his wife, a precher, sherifs young grandson and a strange woman Ella who is just quite not what she seems. Ella is played by Olivia Wilde who to be honest did out shine the leading guys in some parts, but I don't want to give to much away and spoil it. This is a must see and you will be kicking yourself if you miss it.

Beastly - Now this film I have been waiting months to watch, I know it is pretty obvious what is going to happen because we have all seen the film Beauty and the beast. However I can't resist a good love story and this film does not disappoint. It stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer. Pettyfer plays a self obessed teen who thinks looks are everything, when he humiliates a fellow student who happens to be a witch she curses him that if he doesn't find love in a year he will remain ugly and she make him to what he thinks as unloveable and hideous. Hudgens plays a daughter of a drug addict and she is sent to stay with Pettyfer for her protection and overtime she falls in love with him. But does she break the curse? Watch to find out this is a great film

Insidious - Now when I saw this advertised at the cinema the trailer scared me which is rare because I love horror films. However I saw it in blockbuster and thought I would give it ago. It has quite a good storyline but could have a been better in some parts, but the scare factor is great at one point I had goosebumps. Ending could have been better as it just finishes at a cliffhanger which makes you think what was the whole point if you are going to end it like that. But as a stand alone horror it doesn't disappoint one to watch if you fancy being scared senseless

There are a few songs which I can't not stop listening to lately and they are:
  • Ed Sheeran - A Team (Acoustic)
  • Res - Tsunami
  • Levi Kreis - I should go
  • Garrett Hedlund - Give in to me
  • Leighton Meester - A little bit stronger
  • Bon Iver - Skinny Love
  • Kal Lavelle - Shivers

Changes

So I only have a few days left of my holiday and to be honest I have loved my week off, it has given me chance to relax and reflect on what I actually want out of life and I think I need to do some serious changes if I am going to achieve anything I want. I don't want to be sitting here in ten years time thinking what the hell did I ever do with my life apart from watch opportunities fly past. I am seriously thinking of applying for a open university to do a writing and English course so maybe I can get my stuff together and finally do something with my writing.
If that fails then I would love open up a day care centre for dogs where people can leave them there when they go to work or away for a few days, we would do training lesson, social clubs, grooming everything that a dog would need, also take in any abandoned dogs that just need a little help recovering before they are re homed. This would be my dream job as I have always wanted to work with animals but since I have had Shelby I have been dog crazy.
I also want to get myself in to shape because I want to do the London Marathon before I am 25 (only 2 years to go). Plus there is my every growing bucket list that would take me years to complete but I am determined to do every thing on it

Life


Saw this on line and I love it
Life is too short people say you are crazy when you have a list of dreams but it is them who are crazy because they are wasting their life plodding along as in us dreamers will grasp any chance we can take to live and try new things. So next time an oppurtunity comes your way don't waste it, take it.
