Day 21
Hmm... Well, I love the smell of the flowers that are in my cousin's front garden but I don't know what they are haha. Also just flowers in general. I also love the smell of mint. But if this is in regard to fragrances, then I love Marc Jacobs Daisy and DKNY Be Delicious.
P.S. I have been wanting to upload some photo posts but image uploads have been disabled for some maintenance. Annoying. :S
Day 20
There have been tons of things that have happened to me that are embarrassing including tripping 3 times in one hall and etc. But the worst one was probably in year one. Our class was making pancakes for pancake day, and so the teacher let everyone have a chance to shake the mix. A boy called Christian was shaking it before me, and as soon as he handed me the mix, the mix exploded all over me!! I was soaked in pancake mix. I had to wear lost property clothes that day. That memory has never been forgotten and every pancake day for all the following years, one of my best friends remind me of it. I will never forget ;D
I know I accidentally skipped day 18, but I can't be bothered doing that one because I don't remember who I last saw cry in real life, although I did see a lot of people on Glee cry so yeah.

Day 19
Okay, first of all I am incredibly and terribly sorry for this extremely delayed post. I've just been really busy with school and all that shiz that comes with being a busy student.
Anyway, I shall do my movie review on Bubble Boy. Now I know my friends are probably going to groan about the fact that I talk about this movie so much but yeah. I'm going to attempt to properly review it.
Bubble Boy
I thought this movie was extremely funny, cute and adorable. Jake Gyllenhaal portrays an adolescent boy called Jimmy Livingston who is born without immunities (a single germ could kill him) and so he goes on a wild and hilarious adventure to Niagra Falls to tell a girl that he loves her. He meets different walks of life throughout the adventure while his overprotective mother and very silent father chase after him.
This movie is just so cute and funny. I love it so much. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jimmy perfectly and acts very ecstatic a lot throughout the movie (of course it is his first time out in the world) and his cheeky smile makes this movie an absolute favourite.
I must say I do love the fact they put in Boti Bliss, a recurring character from CSI: Miami, although she plays a very small part in this movie.
Jimmy's adventure and first ever time of leaving his home includes hilarious events including his first erection LOL, his first learning of the word 'bitch', a little asian woman called Poonani, (I'm not sure if anyone else knows what it means in Italian, but I'm not saying here), his lame attempt at stealing, a really really happy singing group/cult, a meeting with a big bunch of crazy asians giving away 500 dollars and much more.
I also love the portrayal of the character Slim who I recognised from Spy Kids and also Dr Phrek played by Verne Troyer also known as Mini Me on some of the Austin Powers movies, and there is a little reference to those movies in Bubble Boy.
In my opinion, this movie is just extremely hilarious and especially for me, adorable because of the ignorant and cute Jimmy. This is for sure one of my all time favourite movies, I would definitely recommend this movie (well I already have to tons of my friends, haha) and I rate it 10/10!
-And that was my stupid attempt at writing a movie review.

Day 17
Okay, well, I think that drugs and alcohol are not necessary and for me personally I don't even want to take them because they smell horrible, including coffee, and I don't think I need them. I they also aren't good for one's body, physically and mentally. But if someone is a stranger, of course I don't like it when someone around me smokes, but as long as they're not my friends and family, it is really their business what they do.
I'm really sorry to my friends that have been reading and I haven't been able to type much, and also that I didn't type much about drugs and alcohol and stuff but I just don't have that much opinions about this.

Day 16
Okay, so I actually follow lot's of TV shows so I'll try and talk about them all.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S: This is a TV show that no longer airs but was absolutely amazing an d loved by millions. It is about 6 friends that live in New York and just like hilariously funny lives. The 6 main characters are Monica Geller(Courteny Cox), Phoebe Buffay(Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Greene (Jennifer Aniston), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and Joey Tribianni (Matt LeBlanc). It has 10 seasons. It is my all time favourite show, I watch it ALL the time, at breakfast, when I'm on the computer, at lunch, when my friends come over (lol at the pun) and also when I'm terribly sad it makes me feel so much better. I also love that all the characters have their own distinct personality and often most of the issues are just normal but turn funny.
CSI: Miami: This is my second favourite TV show and airs on CBS. It is a spinoff from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It is a drama series about the procedure of being a crime scene investigator. The main characters are: Horatio Caine (David Caruso), Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter), Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez), Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo), Frank Tripp (Rex Linn), Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander), Natalia Boa Vista (Eva LaRue). They're the main team although people have come and go such as Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane), Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos), Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian), Walter Simmons (Omar Benson Miller) and many others. There have been 8 completed seasons and season 9 starts with a cliffhanger this Sunday in America. I just love this show so much, it always catches my attention and I love all the characters.
The minor shows in my head (hehe):
The Mentalist: This is also a crime show about Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and his team who all try to solve homicides in California, mainly near Sacramento. There have been 2 seasons.
Hellcats: A new drama series on CW in the USA and is fast tracked to Go! in Australia only a week behind. There have only been 4 episodes so far but this show is really interesting. It is about a new law student at college, Marti (Aly Michalka) that has her scholarship denied and so she joins the cheerleaders to earn a Cheerleading scholarship.
Glee: This new show has already taken the world by storm. A musical style drama showcases the Glee Club trying to reach nationals and also climb up the social ladder. Everyone in the Glee club is different and have individual characters, there is no main character that's good always but during the start of the first season, it was surrounded a bit around the character of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). The second season has recently started.
House: I haven't watched much of this show recently but I have always loved House's wit. This show is about Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his team as they take on weird and wacky cases. There have been 6 seasons and season 7 has already started with a few episodes in already.
The Hills: A reality drama that surrounds around Lauren Conrad and her friends in Beverly Hills but she leaves halfway through season 5 and from then on it surrounds around ex Laguna Beach star, Kristen Cavallari. I'm not a big fan of Kristen so I'm not that into it anymore. I think season 6 is the last season.
Pretty Little Liars: A new drama series on ABC Family in America about 4 girls that lost their best friend but she seems to mysteriously return knowing all their secrets. There has only been 1 season so far.
I think that's it. Woah, that's alot, what can I say? I love TV (:

Day 15
Well, since I haven't had much social stuff happen recently so here is an excerpt of me talking to the TV, the first time I ever watched (500) Days of Summer.
Amy: NOOOOOO!!! Summer why? You are so stupid! Go with Tom!
Summer (in the film): I just-I just woke up one day and knew. What I was never sure of with you.
Tom (in the film): *sad face*
Amy: NOOOOOOO!! WTF SUMMER?!
But now I love this movie, I think it's a gorgeous story but I love how the ending is actually real and not some happy soppy love story ending. (No offense intended, I love love stories too (: )

Day 9
There have been many embarrassing moments in my life that were public, I can't remember the most or them all but I do remember having my dad embarrass me, accidentally keeping the blinds up when looking at my c-walking neighbour, LOLOL, talking too loud near people about stupid stuff, having to sing in front of all the girls from all campuses at year 7 camp, singing to this skateboarding kid and making him fall (I'm so sorry), and of course tripping over a couple of times everyday, im such a klutz. Lol. Oh yeah, and I remember something, that I significantly told olivia not to tell anyone, but I guess it's too late now, I walked into a wall. How stupid.

Day 8
Now, I do not have a specific favourite outfit because I don't like wearing the same thing over and over again, and also I can't decide, so I will show you a picture of some of the clothes I wear and like, they are in my wardrobe. :)
Now I shall describe. Above the clothes which you can't see are all my bags, scarfs, hats and purses. Below my clothes which you also can't see are my big bags, teddies (you can see the top of my green mario mushroom), slippers, and drawing stuff which I don't use, just to clarify, I am not an artist, I just have that stuff.
And statistics/numbers of the clothes in my wardrobe? Well, I have 33 T-shirts, 39 singlets, 3 vests, 6 skirts, 17 dresses and 11 cardigans (excluding school uniform). I also have hoodies, shorts, pajamas, jumpers and etc in my drawers.
P.S. Sorry that I missed yesterday, but I've been quite busy doing nothing, and homework so some days I might do tons and some days I might skip, so I'm just warning you, there might be a lot of skipping from here on because I need to save my internet usage :(, and I have exams soon, but I will try my best. (:

I have two budgies called Lachie and Jackie and I think they are some of the cutest things in the world.

I love them so much. <3

Day Ten
Day Ten: One confession.
1. I'm still afraid of the dark.
Even though I still try to convince myself that I’m not.
I don’t know why but I think pretending to not be afraid will make me not afraid, even though its not working, I still do it. I don’t know how I am still this way or why I am like this, but the dark just makes my imagination go wild, and not in a good way. I tell myself that there is nothing there and that I’m not afraid anymore because I want to believe that I’m not and I don’t want to seem weird in front of my friends, anymore than I already am. Will staying in the dark alone overcome this fear? Because it hasn’t helped me in the past. Is there something wrong with me?
I just want someone to help me through this, to stay with me in the dark.
