Good day Friends!
Hope you have had a week. Mine was quite quiet really, and of course at this time of year I had a cold.

Lapidose - Having an abundance of stones
Mellisonant - Sweet sounding, pleasing to the ears, dulcet
Noctavagous - Wandering in the night.
Oniomania - A compulsion to make purchases
Parisology - the use, especially deliberately, of ambiguous words
Quacksalver - A quack or a Charlton
Remontado - Someone who returns to the mountains to avoid civilization
Sawder - flattery, exaggerated and ingratiating praise

Unasinous - Equal to stupidity
Venial - pardonable, excusable

Music
Good day Friends!
Hope you are having a spiffing week and I promise not to use that word again I am so sorry. For today I would like to talk about music. All the different genres and artists, and the decades of great music that have become before us and inspired what we listen to right now.
Let me get this straight first, although I do not like modern pop music that doesn't mean that I hate it and think that no one should be listening to it. If you it then that's great. But my music taste mainly consists of rock and what I really don't know what to call except something that doesn't really fit into any particular genre or maybe too many. Also a lot of it is musicals and soundtracks from films.
For a lot of time I will obsess over just one song and listen to it over and over again until I'm utterly sick of it, I also do this a lot with films and I'm not sure if this is normal or not. At the moment it's the song 'Not today' by Imagine Dragons from the film Me before you, which I may have mentioned a couple of times about.
One of the most influential artists I have ever listened to is David Bowie. His songs were powerful and helped people know that they could be anything and do anything. I loved his different personas and all the colourful outfits and meaningful music videos. Also his role in the Labyrinth was pretty amazing, Jareth the Goblin King has a special place in my heart.
At the moment my favourite band has to be Panic at the disco but I don't really pay as much attention to the artist as I do to the song. I get my favourite songs from movie soundtracks not really what my friends or anyone else is talking about.
Angus thongs and perfect snogging has a really lovely soundtrack because it always reminds me of Brighton and the sea and all the food and people. The whole thing has a really uplifting vibe and I love it.
Me before you's soundtrack is good and takes you through all the emotions from the films but the actual classical score is so relaxing and good to listen to when studying or drawing.
When I draw or write I usually have music in the background. When I walk I'm listening to music. When I relax I'm listening to music. And when I am trying to sleep I will listen to music. I think this is because there are so many different genres for these times and I'm still trying to find my style of music.
They should have a genre of music for the misallaneous and the stuff that is a mix of everything and is influenced by so much.
My favourite musicals have to be Grease, Phantom of the opera and oh literally any Disney film except Frozen. And the best song from all of those has to be Out there from Hunch Back of Notre dame.
I think that is enough for today, so I bid you adieu and hope you have a fabulous week!
Good bye for now x

Wrapping up a year
Good day Friends!
I hope you have a good new year celebration and if you have not yet celebrated a new year then have fun whenever the time comes around! I also hope that you are looking forward to a whole new year for new beginnings. Speaking of new beginnings, I have of course started my year as I mean to go on and have started with my resolution of wearing new and clothes and socks and scarves. I am also exploring what I can do with my hair to coincide with the new clothes.
I thought that I could just wrap up my 2016 with some top tens, because you know everyone loves a good list, and also please remember that this is just my opinion and of course so is this entire blog.
Top ten songs:
1. Wings of a dove - Madness
2. Starman - David Bowie
3. Swings and Waterslides - Viola Beach
4. Flightless bird, American mouth - Iron and Wine
5. Toothpaste kisses - The Maccabees
6. Happy with me - HOLYCHILD
7. Not today - Imagine Dragons
8. Absolutely smitten - Dodie Clark
9. Wish that you were here - Florence + the machines
10. Novels - Rusty Clanton
You would be correct in thinking that most of these are from movie soundtracks and that is because if I keep listening to the soundtrack I can get into the character's head. Also the youtuber Dodie Clark has the most lovely voice and her new ep was amazing!
Top ten movies:
1. Me before you
2. Phantom of the opera
3. Grease 2
4. Labyrinth
5. Miss peregrines home for peculiar children
6. Fantasic beasts and where to find them
7. Ever After
8. Nanny McPhee
9. Maze runner: Scorch trials
10. The princess bride
Okay so most of these films are pretty old but as I just found them I do keep going on about them and no one really knows what I'm talking about anymore but I still really love them all.
Top ten books:
1. Girl online 3 - Zoe Sugg
2. Me before you - Jojo Moyes
3. Pegasus and the flame of Olympus - Kate O'Hearn
4. The amazing book is not on fire - Phil Lester and Dan Howell
5. The fallen star - Jessica Soren
6. Dan and Phil go outside - Phil Lester and Dan Howell
7. Shiver - Maggie Stiefvater
8. Little women - Louise May Alcott
9. The boy in striped pyjamas - John Boyne
10. Withering tights - Louise Rennison
Top ten celebrities:
1. Dan Howell
2. Phil Lester
3. Gerran Howell
4. PJ Ligouri
5. Sam Clafin
6. David Bowie
7. Emilia Clark
8. Drew Barrymore
9. Dodie Clark
10. Asa Butterfield
And I think that is enough lists, there is always a limit and that amount of lists has just about reached the sky.
I hope you enjoyed that and will have a great week.
