Dinner Party Guest List

Hello Earthlings,

I would like to start by saying I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter weekend and spent it however you enjoy. Also, I was scrolling through a list of blog ideas a while back and found this, a list of 10 people you would invite for dinner. I am assuming that these people can be dead or alive so I pulled out my thinking cap, metaphorically of course, and realised it was actually quite difficult to come up with a concise list of people but here we go, I also decided to make 5 of my list real people and then the last 5 are fictional yet fab characters. 

1. Elvis Presley
This was a no-brainer, I don't think I have any real important reason as to why I would like to have dinner with Elvis other than the fact that I adore his music.

2. Emily Davison
Emily Davison was one of the most famous Suffragette's and was the woman who threw herself in front of the King's Horse at the Epsom Derby in 1913, she died because of the injuries she sustained there. I am sure that some would say that was a stupid thing to do, but to me it shows that she was extremely passionate about what she believed in and refused to give up. I have always been interested in the Suffragette Movement ever since I heard of it in about year 8 but because I only have a list of 10 people I shall stick with Emily Davison. (P.S. if you want to learn more about the Suffragette's but don't fancy reading up on them then there is a film ironically titled "Suffragette" (2015)  that I would recommend a gazillion times).

3. Sir Barnes Wallis
Sir Barnes Wallis was an English engineer, scientist and inventor. He is best known for inventing the bouncing bomb used by the RAF in Operation Chastise (the Dambusters raid) to attack the dams of the Ruhr Valley in World War II. Again, if you would like to learn more about this but would rather sit and watch a film instead of reading through research then get yourself a copy of "The Dam Busters" (1955). I just have so many questions that I would love to ask him.

4. Malala Yousafzai
Malala is 18 years old, a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. Her story is so incredible, I have recently started to read her book and I am already finding it gripping. This young woman is so inspirational, I would love to meet her even if it was just to say thank you. Thank you for inspiring me. Malala was just 14 when a masked man held a gun to her held whilst she was on her way to school. Instead of just being the girl who the Taliban shot Malala used her voice to stand up for those whose voices cannot be heard. Malala should be an inspiration for us all.

5. Guy Martin
He just seems like a really cool guy. I'm not going to lie before today I hadn't really heard much about him but then I watched a bit of the "Wall of Death" world record attempt and I have come to the conclusion that he is a pretty cool guy.

6. Phoebe Buffay
I reckon I could learn a lot from her and she's hilarious so it cannot be a bad dinner party.

7. Dominic Toretto
The Fast and Furious film series are some of my all time favourite films. Come on, you know it would be pretty fab to be sat on the backyard surrounded by some cool people and some great cars on the drive.

8. Elle Woods
 I am ashamed to say that in my 17 years of life it was only recently that I saw Legally Blonde. But let's be honest now, Elle Woods is just someone we all want to be our friend. She's great. We could go from a dinner party to the courtroom, busy busy busy. 

9. Jay Gatsby
Okay so I have this planned out, I get picked up in his yellow car and we drive past the Valley of Ashes etc until we end up in New York and I get to listen to all of his wonderful stories about being an Oxford man and his past with Daisy. But Daisy cannot be there because I do not like her, if you haven't read the book or watched the film then I won't give too much away.

10. Serena van der Woodsen
I really do not need to explain this because she is fabulous. I'd have to ask how to achieve a style that resembles her hair as well because mine likes to remain as flat as a pancake. 

So that is my list. Of course, I will post this and think "ooh I should have added them!" etc but currently here is my dinner party. 

Thank you for reading and I shall have another post soon!

P.S. My picture for this post is hopefully very inspirational to you.

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies!  I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster.  Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...
