First Club Experience

I am 17 and in the UK it is legal to go out and drink when you are 18, and you cant get in without id, so the fact that me and my friend got in underage and no id is great. We just walked up to the bar and asked for two shots of Sambuca, paid, drank them and then started dancing. To be honest at the time we were there, there were hardly any people but it was an experience nonetheless. I just think every 17 yr old has to experience clubbing before you are actually legal, it is a right of passage, there is just something badass about it. So many things happened, so many memories made, it was one of the best nights of my life.

Sorry this post was short, its just to tell you that rules are ment to be broken, be spontaneous as spontaneity creates the best memories.

Parties, Happiness and Hangovers

So last week was a depressing post, it was about the battles I have had with my health, food, weight and body image, but todays post will be about parties; specifically those with college students, alcohol, fights, tears and sex.

Okay, so I, myself have been too quite a few parties, and at those parties a lot has happened. Before I talk about it I would just like to say don't drink unless you have permission from your parents, it can be dangerous in excessive amounts and it can give you the most embarrassing of memories. So, there are obviously different types of personality's; you have the happy drunk, the person who always smiles, is jolly, who tries to make everyone laugh or they do laugh at the most littlest of things, the sad drunk, the one who is upset at everything, they cry all the time, the angry drunk, the one who flips out, who fights with everyone, the horny one, the one who is being really flirty, who wants to just have sex and kiss everyone. Chances are you know one of these, or you know more of these personality's or you are one of these or you are all of them. We have probably all been one of these personality's, I know I have. I have been really happy, smiley and carefree, I have been angry I once punched one of my closest friends and bit my ex, but in my defence they were being dickheads, I have been so upset that I have cried and cried and cried and I have also been in that mood where I just want a kiss and sometimes more. The point is that alcohol can make you feel all kinds of emotions, and sometimes embarrassing things will happen, for instance once I snap chatted a boy from my high school, who I admit I thought was hot as the burning sun, and in the morning I realised this and couldn't get onto my college coach because I was embarrassed, the moral is that whatever happens you just have to embrace it and learn from it and just enjoy life because everyone has a life but not everyone lives it.

So hangovers, they are nasty little buggars, they can just cause you to stay in bed all day doing nothing, like now I am currently tired, writing this post whilst watching series 1 of Pretty Little Liars on Netflix. Apparently orange juice is good at getting rid of hangovers, eating food is, or just relaxing not doing anything, which is what I think is the best thing in the world.

This was just a post about the different personality's of drunk people, and hangovers. Maybe next time I will write about my highs and lows at being at parties and drinking :P If you think there are other personality's that the average drunk person takes over comment them below, also comment which personality you possess, and we will have a laugh about all of the stories that make us want to forget the night before , that make us cringe at events that took place, that make us wish we drunk more or less than we did. see you next week.

Kind of my battle with food

One of my New Year Resolutions is to eat more healthily so I searched for a recipe in one of my cook books that I thought I may like. It was called 'Prawn and Coconut Laksa'. I will put the recipe up soon along with some pictures (as they are on my phone). Anyway, it was pretty easy to make, although I didn't read the instructions properly, I was ment to cook the bean-sprouts in the pan with the curry paste you make and the prawns, I completely didn't do that so I had to quickly fry them in a different pan, nightmare haha, but as long as you read the instructions, it should be fine :) It was different, to say the least, I have tried coconut water before and I wasn't really into it as much, I once made a smoothie with the water - following a smoothie recipe - and I threw up, so I try to stay clear of it, but I wanted to try this recipe, it was a different taste, and I did like, however I didn't each much of it as I didn't want to push myself eating entirely different foods, tastes and flavours, but next time I make it I will eat more of it, not I will try to eat more, I WILL eat more.
Its incredibly hard for me to eat new foods, as I am a very fussy eater, there was a period when I was 10/11 I only ate pot noodles, and now I am eating strawberries, prawns, steak, fish cakes, stir-fry's and many other foods that I have never ate before. When I was younger I was scared of not liking food, I know its stupid but I didn't want to throw up, because it is a horrible feeling. I used to be really skinny, I was that skinny that I didn't want to be skinny, I wanted a little more meat on my bones, it got to the point where my mum thought I was anorexic, I wasn't. It was just simply the fact that I didn't like food and the food I did, wasn't exactly healthy food.

Then in year 8, I had appendicitis, but for 3 months it wasn't seen, as my body created a shield around it so that the poison from my appendix wouldn't kill me, anyway I didn't eat anything for three months because I felt so ill that I didn't want to eat, then one day it hurt so bad I went to the A&E and they rushed me too Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool, where they did a operation, however it turned out that they couldn't do anything as the shield my body created attached itself to my intestine, so they just pumped me with iv antibiotics for two weeks, the shield went disappeared and I was fine inside my body on the other hand I wasn't fine in my mind or in my outer body, I was skinny, I didn't want to be. I was round about 8 st at the time and that for me wasn't a normal weight for a year 8 as many girls in my year weren't that, so I ate and ate crappy food and gained weight, and I was happy that I had gained weight, but then I entered year 10/11 and that's where the lads would pay extra attention to girls looks and their weight. They kept calling some girls fat which made me body conscious, so I decided to exercise, I just did bits and bats over the two years, whilst eating healthy, and I was happy with what I was, I was 10 stone and I was happy.
That's until I got a boyfriend, he would call me skinny and say I have a great body, which made my self esteem go through the roof, until I started to do more exercise and then one day we were lying in bed watching a film, and I said something about doing more exercise and he felt my stomach looked at it and went, "yeah you have lost some weight, and you look better", that just made me feel like 'what, I thought I was fine and didn't need to'. We broke up a couple months later, and some time after that I thought, 'I need to be happy with myself, I want to be happy on my own' so I am working on myself, it has been a year since the break up and I am happy with who I am, I have been working on myself, I have been eating new foods, watching films I would have never had watched and I am experiencing the world :) I am a more happy with who I am, I don't give a fuck about what people think of me, people dis like me and I don't give a shit and I am finally glad that I feel like that!!! :D  But, body issues still present an issue in my life, I don't want to lose weight, I am 9st 5lbs and I am happy with that, I just want to tone my belly, my arms and my ass (not going to lie) when I reach the goal of the body I have dreamed, I will be more happy than I am.

This is just for the guys and gals who have issues with their bodies, you are not the only ones, everyone has or does have issues with theirs, and if a boy says that the don't have issues with how they look they are probably lying I know plenty of lads that think they aren't good looking, that think their bodies aren't good enough, so it isn't just us girls. If anyone wants to talk about anything, I am here and I can try and give you advice, I just do not want anyone to feel like they have to change for the world, for other people, you don't, if you want to make any changes, make them for you, you are the only person that matters in this world, if I have learnt anything in the past couple years of my life its that. Do things for you, if you want to lose weight, tone your body, watch a horror, read an auto biography, climb a mountain, join tap dancing classes, draw a rose do it, just do what makes you happy, it annoys me that someone cannot be themselves, they cant be happy as when they are themselves and are happy they get picked on, judged, called out which turns that happiness upside down, no one should hide them true selves.

If anyone wants to talk about anything, I am here and I am ready to listen.

Just all about films

Okay, so on Tuesday I watched this film called 'The To Do List' . Its basically about a girl called Brandy who wants to be more sexually experienced before she goes to college, so she makes up a to do list of things to tick off when completed. I laughed loads, there are funny moments in the film but most of them are cringe, you will make a cringe face if you watch this film! As there are just moments that if were to happen to us we'd probably die of embarrassment. I don't want to spoil the film, so if you are interested in a kind of coming of age comedy about sex, embarrassment, love and all the things in between I strongly suggest you watch it !! However I wouldn't watch it with the parents, this is a film where watching it with parents is a no no.

Another film that I have recently watched is 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies', I am pretty sure everyone knows what has happened in the Hobbit so far but for those who don't here is what has happened;
Bilbo Baggins - Hobbit-  is sent on a quest with dwarves and Gandalf to reclaim the dwarves home - The Lonely Mountain- that has been taken over by a dragon as the dwarf king had an unhealthy obsession with gold and riches. In the journey to the home they encounter foes, allies, elves, orcs, giant spiders, goblins and of course what film wouldn't be complete without a brief encounter with Gollum aka Smeegle. Any-who the journey is filled with mishaps and success, it is just your basic J.R.R. Tolkien journey through middle earth.

At the end of the second instalment of the films 'Desolation of Smaug' we saw Smaug - The Dragon- flying over to Lake Town. I won't give anything that happened in the film away, but all I can say is that it was brilliant end to a fantastic trilogy of films, although the last film I felt, personally was a little bit dragged out overall it was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat, I was murmuring things like 'go the other way' ' no!' 'don't go up there' 'Oh my god that orc just killed my favourite character' 'yay!' you know the basic things you shout at an action filled, fantasy mania filled, orc filled battle film. If you haven't watched the trilogy I strongly suggest you do, I love it, and if you love films like this then I am sure you will too.
