BLUE

I was about to introduce this blog post stating how I haven’t blogged for a while etc. but decided that is not the way to go, since 1. it’s very boring and 2. it was only a fortnight ago.

I haven’t had any time to chill so have spent my evenings doing that instead of blogging. (That means pigging out in front of the laptop stuffing my face and staring at my Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr feeds all night)

The interesting thing now is because I’m at university, it is a lot more likely that one or more of these are someone a lot of you don’t know. Which means you can't guess them unless you live inside my head. Not trying to twist your minds or anything, it is fact.
I don’t compose these to bring attention to myself or my blog, I like having somewhere I can document and express my thoughts freely. Kaboom!

- Explosion of ponderings -

One.

I miss being close to you, I feel like we are drifting apart and I’m trying desperately to repair what we have lost but I genuinely don’t know what to say anymore. I feel like I’ve been cruelly left out - not intentionally though - and I miss the craic. I miss you more than anyone, because you are so lovely and genuine and you were my first friend. Can we please try and fix this because I’m at a loss of what to do. 

Two.

You are messing with my head, like seriously. Why must I fall so easily, especially of all people, why must it be you! I swore to myself I wouldn’t let this happen again, except this time it’s much worse because it is you and I can’t, and won’t, even tell anybody. I hope these feelings will go away because it’s all too confusing and I’m being silly and will therefore shut up.

Three.

I’m very glad you are back in my life. I know I am losing hope others and feel I am welcomed back with you. It’s comfortable and I feel so at ease talking to you. Just like old times. I really appreciate your company and hope we can become really great friends again. 

Four.

This is far too difficult, I want to help you but it is just too much effort. I physically can’t help you if you can’t help yourself. I have others and don’t need you either. Just don’t hurt yourself. Sorry.

Five.

I can’t kid myself, and I certainly can’t kid Emma. YOU ARE STILL MY KING OPPA.

(Honestly I think oppa is one of my favourite words ever. C:) Oppas make Claudbag happy, I need many oppas. I collect them and keep them safe. Hehehehehe.

I’ve been feeling very negative and sad lately, please someone cheer me up. I guess I’m feeling BLUE.

My boys are back. I love BIGBANG. ♥

BRITNEY WHO?

Here comes a short post about the absolute brilliance of BIGBANG. 

Big Bang were nominated for the Worldwide Act in MTV European Music Award. This year it was held in Belfast. 

The Kings Are Back

They were up against Britney Spears and WON! Oh yeaahhhh!

May I add, they received 58 million votes alone. And only 168 million votes were casted altogether.

You’ve no idea how PROUD I am! It is such an achievement to be even nominated. K-Pop is becoming well known all over the world now. And c’mon, it’s Big Bang. They are my favourite group, so yes I’m very proud of my boys!!

The closest we got to Big Bang...

James, Emma, Mary-Jane and I travelled down on Sunday to do some stalking. We had a wonderful day, the atmosphere was lively and it was exciting to see how Belfast was holding such an significant event. 

Outside the Odyssey 

Of course, every day has it’s bad points. I think the worst part about this day was that Zico from Block B was wandering about the Odyssey promoting K-Pop but by the time we arrived, we were too late! Emma had a mental breakdown because she’s a big Block B fan, and I was also gutted because that would have made the day perfect. Mary-Jane got excited to meet someone famous. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

Instead, Mary-Jane, Emma and I were interviewed for SBS (Seoul Broadcasting Station) who were filming outside the Odyssey before the show started. Again, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. The Korea interview and camera women were just standing across to us, so I bravely went over and asked if they were there for Big Bang. They replied enthusiastically “Yes! Are you fans!?!” Before we even nodded, the camera was rolling and questions were being fired at us! It was funny because they didn’t even ask if we wanted to be interviewed. It was kinda scary but lots of fun!

So perhaps we’ll be on Korea’s TV? There’s going to be a Big Bang special aired in a few days so we might be featured then. It’s also more likely we’ll be aired because we are western which proves to Korea that that Big Bang and K-Pop is being recognised worldwide.

TOP touched this CD!!

The interview is APPALLING, I think it’s hard to understand what we are saying. However, I was able to tell them T.O.P was my favourite. To thank us for our efforts, the man gave us an AUTOGRAPHED Big Bang ‘Tonight’ CD! Saying that, he only gave us one, but Emma and May-Jay kindly said I could have it since I was the biggest fan. (Thank you!!)

All in all, I had a superb time - but I feel I could have tried harder to meet them. But I’m very happy indeed. And I’m very, very glad that they won their award.

AWESOME LIST 2011 ⌗1

Hello! I shall continue this meme, which....actually,I don’t remember what or where the list was.

Today, it’s THINGS THAT TURN ME ON!
Well, that’s what the title is anyway. It’s not really.

In case you didn’t know. I’m very very VERY fussy. Which is probably why I’ve spent most of my life single. I’m hoping when I get to university I will find some fish that are different than the inbred ones in the Mourne Fish Tank.

But who knows!

As Kimya Dawson says, “If I’m a spinster for the rest of my life, my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights.”

I have renamed this as the AWESOME list now.

That's not saying that I hope I wouldn't want meet the guys listed below in a dark alleyway late at night! Heh heh heh heh.

I shall do this piece in three parts, so here is the first bit. Exciting stuff!

They are not in order, you perv.

Rupert Grint

Who is he? British Actor

Best known for: Playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

Why he is so awesome: What is so interesting in the Harry Potter films is that Harry doesn’t become fanciable. Well not in my opinion anyway.

However, Ron, yes the little ginger kid who is just the loser friend, suddenly does!

By the Order of the Phoenix he’s instantaneously become buff! Not that anyone is complaining about that.

What happened Dan, what happened.

WEASLEY IS OUR KING.

T.O.P (Choi Seung Hyun)

Who is he? Member of Korean group Big Bang

Best known for: Rapping, solo work, badass.

Why he is so awesome: Far too many times have I mentioned T.O.P in this blog. It’s not normal how cool I think he is. Mary-Jane called him sleazy the other day, but I call him SEXAY.

Matt Lanter

Who is he? American Actor

Best known for: Playing the role of Liam in 90210

Why he is so awesome: Let’s face it, Matt Lanter is one hot lad. Matt plays Liam, 90210’s badboy! Ironically (apart from his erratic bursts of anger) Liam is one of most normal characters of the show, who avoids trouble the best. He plays his part really well, and often leaves me laughing. The show is on E4 at the moment and honestly, I wouldn’t advise people to watch it.

Unless it’s for eye-candy like Matt Lanter. ;)

Bi Rain

Who is he? Korean singer, songwriter, actor and stylist

Best known for: Over in Korea: his singing, over here: he won best Badass as ‘Raizo’ in Ninja Assassin at the MTV Movie Awards in 2010.

Why he is so awesome: What makes Rain so awesome is his determination to work so hard. He started out as a singer and swiftly moved into Korean dramas and then into the Hollywood screens. Go him! Can’t wait to see the sequel of Ninja Assassin and I am hopeful he will get more attention in the US. Good luck Rain!

Glee Boys

Who are they? Okay, I’ll be fussy here: Kevin McHale, Mark Salling, Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum Jr.

Best known for: Playing the male characters in E4’s showstopping show Glee

Why they are so awesome: No offense to Chris Coffler because he seems like a pretty cool person. Cory is the least interesting on the show.

Kevin McHale- Who knew little Artie could be so good looking in real life? I am impressed.

Mark Salling- Gotta admit, Puck is one of my favourites on the show. His lines have so many innuendos it makes me giggle.

Chord Overstreet- Don’t know much about Sam yet, but I am beginning to like him. Blondes aren’t my type but he’s lovely.

Harry Shum Jr- I am very impressed with Mike ‘other Asian’ Chang this season! He is brilliant and very comical! Honestly last series I thought he was a hopeless actor and not much of a dancer, now we all know him better because he has a larger part has made me really like him! His duet with Tina was brilliant- loved it!

Alexander Rybak

Who is he? Norwegian Solo singer

Best known for: Winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009

Why he is so awesome: I love Alexander’s album “Fairytales” one of them CDs that you could listen to the whole way through. If you want to see the real side of Alexander, watch “OAH” It’s an eye-opener! Hilarious.

Tune in next time...

THINGS THAT CROSS MY MIND A LOT

“Heh heh, he’s hot”

I must admit, I think about guys a lot. Being female and an adolescent, it’s perfectly normal for me to swoon over men. (I keep telling myself that anyway.) Like, there’s girls from the age of 12 with steady boyfriends right through high school, and seriously that’s not for me at all. I’m far too busy to have time to spend with a boyfriend to be honest. I’m sure the right guy will come along someday, but for now, I will window shop.

“I look a mess”

Okay, I don’t think this all the time, but sometimes you just look at yourself in the mirror and go eugh. It’s not all the craic having a round face, I would love to have glowing cheekbones and beautiful pearly teeth (it was quite saddening to realise my teeth weren’t going to be any whiter when I got my brace off in 2008) I do like having flawless skin though, I hope my skin lasts until I’m old. I’ll just keep slappin’ the face cream on.

“Dang how could these guys/girls look so hot/skinny/stylish/charismatic/gorgeous/cute/pretty/funny/ TALENTED?”

Yeah, K-Pop goes in my mind a lot, not as much as usual. But their music is so awesome, I love it so much. And Korea’s fashion is many steps ahead of us, I’d just travel over there to get some of the amazing style! It’s all good fun. I like thinking about it.

“Aww, why can’t I do that.”

I often feel a pang of jealously for them multi-talented people who can do everything I can’t. Dance. Sing. Speak aloud without crapping up a single sentence. Play an instrument. Be better at art. Do maths without a calculator. Make funny jokes. Have perfect eyesight.

In my head I think how cool it would be if I was able to do these things, then I go back to reality and realise I can’t. Life can be cruel!

“That would be a good post idea.”

Yes. Frequently, at least once a day, I think about Blogger or an idea of something I could blog about. One of them ‘idea’ things I have..

“Eugh I’m so tired..ah my foot..ah the hanger fell...i tripped..hit my head... gah why am I so stupid”

This is me on school mornings, especially Mondays, because I’m very tired after the weekend. So I usually go into school in a foul mood..unless tea and music helps. It does 99.4% of the time. I often wonder what way my conscious speaks, and when typing it down, I sound like an ogre.

“You should be my bay-be, bay-be, bay-be”

“put your PAWS up”

“Eh eh Eh Eh, break it down now”

Music lyrics itself crosses my mind constantly. I love music, I don’t remember what spent time doing before I had my classic iPod. (who is still alive and well!)

I think Emma said this in a post, but there is definitely a theory if you don’t finish listening to a song it gets stuck in your head until you either 1. finish listening to it, 2. listen to the whole thing again, 3. tell someone it’s stuck in your head or alternatively 4. sing it aloud.

I seriously enjoy a good beat so I can mindlessly dance to it, wether this being in my free’s doing some work or just walking somewhere (I occasionally dance going into school, nobody sees me I hope.) I also would sing LOUDLY when art is going well, but just at home!

“Oh that sounds fun, let’s do that!”

I thank my creative brain for giving me good ideas for things. Well I usually think they are, I don’t tell anyone until I carry them out, then they can’t be changed, stolen or banned. I have these little epiphanies at least 3 a week, and then they roll in my mind until I actually take action. For example, get a penpal- someone I could conventionally write to every couple of months. It’s so old skool compared to writing a stupid email, which isn’t personal at all. And now after much searching, I’ve got a penpal! Yay, I get more post. Let’s hope she writes.

The only other thing ticking in my mind is to write more letters for celebrities, which gives me a better chance to own an autograph........and to get more post of course.

"ohhhhhhhhh the FUTURE oohhhh"

After a frightful battle with UCAs, my application was sent away..and so far I’ve got two conditionals and an interview. Which is great of course, but I still feel far too young to be planning to go to university, it’s just weird and a little bit scary at times. The future constantly winds up my brain, I miss being a child, there were no worries at all.

Note to self: do some revision!!!

Peace.
