Day 7: Favorite Movies

Why do these have to be so vague... haha, I love movies so I therefore have a lot of favorites...

I love super cheesy movies aimed at teenagers... i.e. Mean Girls, Bring it On, Clueless...
Then there's the always awesome Batman movies, especially thr Tim Burton ones! Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman was amazing and Anne Hathaway will never compare to her!
The names Bond, James Bon... pretty awesome

DISNEY MOVIES ARE THE BEST THINGS ON EARTH...
especially the late 80's to mid 90's ones! Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Lion King... AWESOME!

uhm... I love the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice too... and Kill Bill...

and the list goes on... but I shall leave it there methinks... we think so too!

Day 5: A Song To Describe Your Mood

I'm not entirely sure if there's a song that describes being tired... so... uhm...

I think I'll go with Robyn's Dancehall Queen cus I really really want to go out to a club and dance right now!

I also love the song and it reminds me of seeing her which makes me really happy, as I am now, and plus, who doesn't like Robyn?

:)

Good times!
Peace out!

Day 4: Your Parents

My parents are awesome!
I have four of them, I grew up with my mum, and then my step-dad once she remarried,
I'm proud of my mum who is currently getting her phd and on her way up the career ladder at Salford University :)
my step-dad is pretty awesome too, and they had my sister when I was 8, and she is amazing :D
My dad lived in Saudi Arabia for a lot of my young years, marrying my step-mum in Thailand and having my other sister, they moved back to England about 6 or 7 years ago now and I love seeing them as well, though I don't see them as often since I've been at university, and especially since I moved to the states!

My mum and co are currently on vacation in California so I'll be flying out to see them on Friday for my spring break :3
