Well its been a while, hasn't it? But I've had a few stressful weeks, with exams, family issues, and house hunting. So in six weeks I'm moving house, not very far from my house now, just ten minutes down the road in fact, but it means I'm getting back virgin media tv/phone/broadband, and a dishwasher in the kitchen. There's nothing I hate more than slow internet, terrible TV and washing up, and just by moving ten minutes down the road, it all gets fixed, thank god!
But anyway, I've also finished my exams two weeks ago, which is another good thing, so I've got more free time on my hands again. I don't think I've done well in psych unit 2 though, which is a problem. But I just blanked the entire thing, because I've had some problems and ended up focusing on them instead of the actual exam. But its over now so I can't do anything about it now, I'm sure I'll have done fine... hopefully.
Though, in better news, I've levelled up in life! A couple of weeks ago, when I saw Star Trek, the boy I went with actually asked me out! I couldn't believe it, and he's really so sweet and he's awesome and kinda nerdy like me.... and I almost killed him by introducing him to Sherlock... whoops. I made it up to him by introducing him to Dexter though, so its all good I think.

I think thats about it for now though, there's not much else I can say about anything. So I'm going to go back to watching St Trinian's 2. Here's my new video about Doctor Who here if you missed it:

Star Trek Into Darkness Review

Well I've just come back from seeing Star Trek Into Darkness for the second time. I watched it last week for the first time with a friend (now boyfriend) and just watched it with my mum, so I thought I'd give it a bit of a review.
Now admittedly, I did originally watch it because of Benedict Cumberbatch, as I am a big fan of him, and have been since Sherlock series 1. And because of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto (fan of them both since Just My Luck and Heroes - and because they're hot... don't think I'm weird/perverted, I generally can not help but think they're all fit) but after watching the film, I found that there was so much more to it than hot actors.
I would go into detail about the entire film, but I feel like that would be boring, and would spoil the film for others, but i will say this. As someone who hasn't seen any Star Trek previously, not even the previous film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew the basics of the story line of the Enterprise, e.g., Kirk being the Captain, Spock his first mate, identified by his pointed ears and blue jumper. All other characters I easily picked up on along the way too, which was a relief as I would have been very confused otherwise. The film itself was very good,  with an easy to follow story line, with lots of action scenes, some funny moments to lighten the mood of the film, and some incredible CGI as well.
The make up was very good on the aliens involved, and the sets were very realistic. The actors themselves were very, very good too, I can always trust to have a good performance from Benedict, but what really blew me away from was how different he is from Sherlock. He looked almost like a completely different person from the skinny detective, in this, he was muscular, excellent in combat. Though he was still very intelligent, and did a very good job at playing a bad guy, something I haven't seen him do previously. All with a very sexy voice that just drew me in and made me hang on his every word.
Chris Pine was also a very good Kirk, he was slightly cheeky, but commanded respect and was thoroughly believable as the captain of a ship. He took the role in his stride, and portrayed his love for his team and his ship very well, and had me routing for him, despite me slight biased for Benedict's Khaan. The same can be said for Zachary Quinto, his portrayal of Spock had me captivated too. He played the idea of a Vulcan with emotions perfectly, though i was reminded of Castiel from Supernatural, though it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as both characters are not used to feeling emotions and such. I will admit that I started shipping Kirk/Spock by the end...
In summary though, Star Trek Into Darkness is a very, very good film, so go out and see it as soon as possible!

Hey guys, so this is slightly strange, I’m not used to your normal blogging types, I’m barely used to making videos yet!
Anyway, I’d thought I’d use this blog as a way to tell you about myself a bit more. You may have seen my 7 facts about me video, which is here:
But other than that, I haven’t really said much about me. So here goes:
I’m 17, was born in March, and was born with a thing called hip dysplasia. It just means that I was born with a dislocated leg, that wasn’t diagnosed properly for a few months, so I had to have five operations in two years to fix it. I guess it helped shape me as a person now, as I couldn’t wear skirts or dresses while I was in plaster after the operations, so I was permanently in trousers. Then, when I finally got out of plaster, aged two, my mum tried to put a dress on me, and I refused to wear it, and any other dress she ever tried to put me in. This has continued throughout my life, and I’m still as tomboyish as ever, the girliest thing I do is actually paint my nails. I don’t wear makeup, or skirts, or dresses. In fact, it took me until about two years ago to wear skinny jeans!
I love to read books. I seriously love reading, I’ve got two book cases filled with books, and my bedside table is filled with yet more books to read as well. But if there’s one thing I love more than reading, its writing. I adore writing things. Whether it be books, fan fictions, (blogs too hopefully) youtube video scripts. I love writing it all, and I love writing many different genres too. Angst is probably my favourite,  I’m not sure why, maybe because I enjoy writing peoples emotions. But I do love writing vampiric things too, because I adore the whole vampire genre. I take a lot of inspiration from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, because I feel like Joss wrote vampires properly in that show. He wrote them to have souls, and without, showing the full spectrum of human emotions with them. He had me hooked for thirteen seasons in total, and has me hooked on the comic series too. One of my main goals in life is to write a successful book, and I feel like Joss has inspired me to write the vampire genre in a proper, well constructed way.
On another note, I love science, and love all the murder shows that focus on science. Things like Bones, NCIS, and Criminal Minds, if you count psychology as a science. I take both at A Level at the moment, and have the exams coming up in the next three weeks (hence why this post is being written now, so I don’t have to face a chemistry book). I also take English Literature and Language, and am hoping to go onto either an English or Creative Writing degree.
Well, that is actually all I can think of right now, so I better go and actually do some practice psych questions, and start praying for the least amount of Freud possible on the exam. I hope I can come up with some better topics to blog about in the future, but for now, bye!
