Things That Annoys Me About Movies

Hello Again!

After watching a couple of movies over the Christmas, me and my sister got talking. We just started discussing movies that we had watched, enjoyed, etc. As we thought about it more, we started picking out the things that frustrated us about films and what we didn't like in them. There was a lot of tiny things that often times people overlook but, wow, once someone points them out they can get quite irritating.

1. The Boy and The Girl Kiss in the Rain.

Okay, so it seems romantic and once upon a time I would have wanted that to happen but come on guys, wheres the sense in it? Have you ever tried it? Maybe it's just me, but I see nothing romantic about raccoon eyes from run off mascara and  stringy wet hair that clings to your face. Plus, its Ireland. The novelty of rain has worn off by now.

2. Musicals

Personally, I love musicals. I wish my life could be a musical which is why I hate musicals. They always make you feel down about yourself afterwards. I'd love for people to randomly burst into a song that perfectly fits the mood but it just doesn't happen. It's a pity, but its true.

3. Sleeping People

The first thing that annoys me about sleeping people is that they always look so pleasant. Their perfectly curled hair just brushes the side of their face so gently , they don't have a single blemish on their rosie cheeks and their champagne colored lips form a delicate pout. Me on the other hand, I sleep like most normal people; face squished into the pillow, mouth half open, slightly dribbling, an arm and leg flung out of the bed, duvet kicked off. And if you would dare wake me, now that would cause trouble... I moan unintelligent nonsense about the time, it's always too early, I'm shockingly pale, my lips are chapped and my eyes bulging. I'm not exactly a pretty sight to see but it's realistic for most people. Normal people don't wake up with a smile on their face and sing songs about what a beautiful morning. That would just be an unfair demand to make on a person.

4. People still have the ability to save the day after being shot a dozen times

In a movie I saw recently, a man was shot in the stomach, blood gushing everywhere, yet, somehow, five minutes later he was able to wrestle a man onto the ground. Okay, so I have never been shot and I don't know how it feels but come on... Ive seen people rendered useless for five minutes in order to tend to a papercut. That sh*ts crazy!

Anyway, I think that's enough complaining for today! Comment/follow, there's more to come.
Love Always,
F.F.

The question of "Ex's"

Hey Guys!

Over the past few days, hanging out with the girlies, the question of ex's came up. Before you go off day dreaming about your prince charming (or Cinderella, whatever the case may be), I'm not talking about kisses. I hate to disappoint you but I'm talking about the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend! I know, dont get me started is what your thinking about, isnt it? Well just give me a chance...

I want to know what the deal is when it comes to hooking up with another persons ex. Ex's come in all different shapes and kinds. There's the "lets still be friends" type, the "awkward" ones, the "clingy" ones, then theres those who make you feel so insignificant, blah blah blah... (sorry you know how I love making lists!). Anyway, what would you think if someone you knew got with your ex? I know that is a situation that many people get really upset and angry about, but should we? I mean, why?

I suppose, I'm just ranting now, but I feel that some people are just too hung up on their ex especially girls. They still want to take some control over them and get really angry when their ex moves on. They need to get over themselves. The other person has moved on. No point dwelling on the past. With guys, these situations just seems to be easier. All my guy friends find it hilarious when two girls have a fight because "she went off with my ex!" I mean, how could she do that?... ugh sometimes I feel like screaming "get over it". Why are you trying to get in the way of other people's happiness? After all, in 5 years time these people could be married with a child on the way.  Nobody will no unless they give it a chance!

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is sometimes people need to back off. They are only making the situation worse. Why do people make things so complicated? Maybe I just like to see the black and white in everything. I like think two people break up it wasnt meant to be. Do I make sense?

2012 What a year!

Hey Guys!
I know its been ages since I posted last (sorry about that). Anyway, its a new year which we all know means new resolutions. And before you ask, yes my new years resolution was to use my blog more often.

Just a quick review of the last year:
So last year was a busy year for both me and my sister. It was quite a good year tho. Here's just a list of things that happened:
1. I completed the LC
 2. I visited London
3. I started college (and I absolutely love it!).
4. We survived the apocalypse ( or maybe we didn't and we somehow got transported into a parallel universe without knowing about it! In my opinion, the second option seems much more interesting).
 5. I realised alot less happened than I had thought so I'm just going to abandon my list (sorry about that).

I also started learning Spanish this year. Its loads of fun. Me encanto espanol ( I hope thats right, Im only a beginner, go easy on me!).

Anyway, I'm going to leave ye with this band BenevolenceOfficial. I advise all of you to check them out. They are fellow Irish cailini and absolutely Fantastic!!! All their songs are original and available on YouTube.

 I also promise that this year will be just as dramatic as last year except this time I promise to keep ye up to date on it all. After all, who can resist a bit of gossip or drama. It makes life far more fun and exciting.
Yours Truly,
The Featherhead herself!

Ripped Jeans

Hey! Here are my ripped jeans. I made them myself from a pair of old black jeans. It was real simple. I paired them with my choral wedges and lace top. I need to get a  gold clutch to match for my next night out.

Vintage Style

Hey Guys! Needless to say, I am still in denial about the fact the summer hols are over, as are alot of you, I'm sure. I'm still very much in summer/party mood, despite the fact that the weather is absolutely awful. Those woolen scarves, rain jackets and UGG boots will remain at the very back of my closet until at least 4 inches of snow is lying on the ground. Anyway, here is an outfit I put together for the changing of the seasons. Hope you like it!

Nameless Guy, More Drama

Hey Guys! I know it's been about 3 weeks since I wrote a post about Nameless Guy. Since then I have gone through many different emotions; I felt guilty, I hated him, I regretted that night etc. Yet, at the same time, i fancied him.

I met him a few times since which, at the beginning, made me feel really awkward. However, those initial feelings passed fairly quickly. We went back to being friends (without benefits). Our arrangement of course didn't help me. In fact, it made me fancy him even more. It was so frustrating!

With time, all those crazy feelings passed....
 until last night.....

Last night was when I learned him and his girlfriend had a huge fight. I have minimum details about what went down, all i know was that it all occurred last week and they broke up. There you go, more drama in my life. What did they fight about? Its killing me. I have to know, was it because of me? Did she find out? It's so hard to know if all came out about that fateful night. I hope it didn't. Nobody knew about what happened (well not that i knew of anyway). There was just the one person who had suspicions about it; my ex. Yes, things always seem to work out in the worst way possible for me. I am so unlucky.

Anyway, now I am so confused. What should I do? I dont want to get a reputation as the one who he cheated on her with.

 Oh, another weird thing about the whole situation; me and his girlfriend (well I suppose I should call her his ex now) share the same birthday.

Caught up in the Excitement

Hey Guys!

As you already know, we were in London for a couple of days. We had a blast. Anyway, the two of us decided to paint our nails for the occasion. Here are just a few of the pics :)

A Few Days in the Big City

Hey guys! We're just back from London and it was amazing. I love that city. I love the hustle and bustle of the streets, the excitement in the underground. The city is so busy, it feels so alive! Of course, we had to visit all the tourist attractions - Madame Tussaud, Big Ben, The London Eye, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market. Here are a few of the photos that we took on our journey!

Summer Fun

Since I have finished school for good (sorry but I feel like rubbing it in!) I have been on a complete high. For the past few summers I have always promised to have an absolutely mental summer. However, it never lives up to expectations. This year, on the other hand, I have got off to a great start. Maybe, its because I’m going to college next year or the fact that I’m turning 18 that has really motivated me to go out at least twice every weekend. The fact that I have money from a summer job could also contribute to my more active social life.

Anyway, to celebrate my good mood, I have decided to make a few playlists for my Ipod.

 Here’s playlist 1. It’s full of brilliantly cringe-worthy, fun, uplifting and girly songs.

 Were Going to Ibiza – The Venga Boys
 Cotton-Eyed Joe – Rednex

I am happy to reassure you that Playlist 2 is far less embarrassing and does not contain any of my guilty pleasures!

Nameless Guy Encounter part 2

After almost being caught I went downstairs. As I sat at the breakfast table half asleep eating dry cheerios, I tried to ‘play it cool’. He got off easy if you ask me; lying in bed pretending to go to sleep, I could have done with that part! Anyway there I was. I instantly joined into conversation, the others were just blabbering on about the night before; what was funny, filling one another in on all the gossip.

As the morning went on a girl’s name was mentioned. I knew her but I couldn’t think how. Who was she? Did she go to school with me? I didn’t think she did. Then it dawned on me! I knew who she was. She was nameless guy’s girlfriend, or at least his ex. They must have broken up. I was just after spending a night with him. He couldn’t have a girlfriend. He wasn’t that kind of guy. Was he?

My head was spinning with all the questions. I couldn’t tell anyone. If it got around that something happened between us, people would never look at me the same again. It happens all the time; I tried to reconcile myself. It didn’t work.
 I felt so guilty but at the same time I didn’t regret it. I know what it was like to be cheated on. I couldn’t help feeling slightly proud of myself, I mean he was seriously good looking. I couldn’t pass on the opportunity but I know I should have. I feel bad now. As soon as I found out the guilt came pouring in. It was inevitable to feel guilty.

Through using the skills I acquired by watching Sherlock Holmes, I managed to find out that they were still together (okay, so it didn’t take much skill, I just casually dropped a few questions into conversation.). he certainly had a girlfriend, that was the truth. Somebody said she was away on holiday or something, but they didn’t know when she was back. I was just a bit on the side.

I suppose in the back of my mind, I had known he wasn’t available, I didn’t like to think about that at the time though. I wanted to pretend he was available and I convinced myself he was. Why did I do that? I should have said something. I should have stopped myself.

Nameless guy encounter part 1

I am a seventeen year old girl on the night of my debs/graduation/prom.  It’s meant to be one of the best days of your life.  For me, it was a recipe for disaster, just another way to create drama in my life.  As if I hadn’t enough of that already…

So as nights out go, it was a pretty good one.  My friend had a free house in the centre of the town.  He was a brave guy, if you ask me, offering beds to drunken teenagers instead of sending them home again.

After the night-club, we staggered up to the house only to continue the crack and drinking that was had up until then. As the night went on, I was sat beside nameless guy.

Nameless guy is about a year older than I was. I know him from school and other nights out. Nameless guy is tall and slightly thin with rugged good looks and brown messy curls in his medium length hair. He is a confident, lady’s-man kind who never takes the rules too serious. And if you were to ask me he was ‘my type’, he was!  I usually go for a confidant, slightly rebellious and easy-going kind of guy! He ticked all the boxes!

Anyway, as the night went on he got flirty, telling me of how I looked gorgeous and making fun of me. I cant say I didn’t enjoy all the extra attention, I mean how could I not? He was gorgeous!

Eventually, after waiting up all night, some began to get tired while others left and went home. There was only a handful of people awake at 8 O’clock in the morning. We took our places around the couch, nameless guy lying on the floor between the coffee table and couch. I was sitting on the end of the couch. Once I saw a bigger place opening up I lunged at it. I was enjoying the comfort until without warning I was pushed off. I landed on top of nameless guy on the ground in a fit of laughter. I know this sounds pathetic but due to the lack of space and the limited flexibility in my dress, I was unable to get up (I also could have been a little drunk!). Anyway nameless guy and I lay huddled up on the ground chatting and laughing amongst ourselves.

I don’t remember how we ended up alone in the room. All of a sudden everyone seemed to have disappeared! Then that’s when it happened. I looked into his eyes and…

This was our little secret; it was exciting like the first time on a roller coaster. It got the same adrenaline rush! I loved tiptoeing around upstairs while the others lay in bed unaware of our actions! I loved the way we had to whisper, how we had to sneak around the house and how we hid when we heard even a creak on the stairs.

But like all good things it had to come to an end! Suddenly the whole house was awake again. I dashed out of the bedroom where we had been hiding and took cover in the bathroom. There I pretended to be doing my teeth. It was a close call! But that wasn’t the end of the story…

Teacher's Pet

Hey! So the school term is coming to an end (thank god!). I thought it would be nice to jazz up the boring old uniform before the summer begins. After wearing it since September, I’m sure it’s tattered, dull and lifeless. We need a change!

But the school uniform doesn’t always have to be so boring (unless your school is really strict and the teachers are always giving out about uniform. In that case maybe leave it until the final bell rings to make the change). Anyway, I think at some stage all girls have thought about re-styling their uniform. A lot of girls would love to play the role of a sexy schoolgirl (and no, I don’t mean that in a kinky way). We see the sexy schoolgirl in films like “Wild Child” and instantly think; that’s how my uniform should look.

The school look is simple! It revolves around plaid and checkered designs. skirts, shirts, cardigans and a tie are very important to rock this look! Over-the-knee socks (or dare I say suspender tights) make the look more enticing but are not necessarily essential.

So check out these pictures on how I achieved the schoolgirl look. Good luck!

Just some nail art ideas

OK, so I’m kind of obsessed with doing nail art. I think it’s just one of those things! Guys think it’s pointless whereas girls love it. I personally think it looks really elegant and it shows you actually made an effort (or maybe that’s just me). Anyway, up until recently I picked my nails. My nails were short stubby and brittle (not very attractive, to say the least). That didn’t stop me from buying all the pretty colorful polishes. Every time I had great intentions to let them grow but they were nothing but false hopes! I had a press full of nail polish and nothing to use them on. Recently I stopped all those bad habits and actually stayed dedicated. . So once they were long enough I painted them quite often. This strengthened them and now I own beautiful, long, healthy looking nails. By the way a note to any nail pickers reading this, keep researching nice things to do with your nails. It will encourage you to let them grow. I research nail art on the Internet all the time (there are also some very good nail blogs if you have time to look them up!). I do my best to keep up with the latest trends and wouldn't mind setting some trends myself! There are endless possibilities. I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures and nail designs. I would love to hear your comments. Also I like to have a theme when I’m doing my nails so any ideas would be greatly appreciated for future ideas. featherhead 1 <3 Please keep in mind that my nails were still growing at this stage. There a lot better now!

Bucket Lists!

Hi guys! I was routing through my room today (in an attempt to do the impossible – tidy it). I found a bucket list that I had started a few years ago. It was only short but I decided I would complete it. There was also a lot of stuff I wanted to take off it because lets face it, I have grown past the stage where I want to visit Santa in Lapland.
A bucket list is a list of things people want to do before they “kick the bucket” (just in case you didn’t know). It’s basically a list of the things people want to accomplish in life. My advice is, if you want to live life to the fullest, make a bucket list! There fun and it’s easy to check things off when you’ve completed them!


Below is my bucket list, as it stands at the moment but I hope to expand on it in the future.

1. Travel to a third world country and help those in need.
2. Travel the world
3. Finish violin grades
4. Finish piano grades
5. Go sky-diving
6. Run a half marathon
7. Train to be a lifeguard
8. Learn to play various instruments (I won’t name them all because the list is too long! I’m hopeful but not necessarily realistic)
9. Write a song
10.  Swim with dolphins
11. Go on a helicopter ride
12. Travel in a hot air balloon

 Hey! So when my sister found her old bucket list the other day, it was funny to see all the cringe-worthy things a 12 year old girl wants to do in life! I began thinking about what was on my bucket list. I thought it would be a great idea to write it in this blog.
The last bucket list I made only consisted of two items. I know, it’s a bit pathetic. Also I thought I should let you know I’m not a spoilt brat who owns everything or who has done everything I always wanted to do. I’m just very ‘choosy’ on what to put in it. My new and improved list is still very small but it is double the length.

1. Ride in a hot air balloon
2. Ride a motorbike
3. Read Ulysses by James Joyce
4. Kiss a french guy

 I know the last one seems a bit ridiculous but it was inspired by another blog (the adventures of an Anglo slut in Paris) I was reading earlier! If anybody wants to give me suggestions on how to fill up my list please feel free to comment!

Just a Reminder

P.S.

All advise is welcome. We would greatly appreciate any feedback to help improve the blog!

Introduction

welcome!

A blog sounded fun so my sister and I decided to take on the challenge! I suppose, as two typical teen girls, coming up to our summer holidays, we don't have much to occupy our time. In this blog we hope to talk about all the things that interest/annoy/inspire us etc. (although that is the point for most blogs, we know).

As we are both flirty, fun-loving females, it's not difficult to guess what our interests include. If it's still not clear, it includes:

1. The male species
2. Fashion
3. Beauty
4. Music
5. Partying
6. Having a good time

It's our first time to ever write a blog so excuse us if things are not perfect.
