Being at uni and not having a tv I did not really think I would get to watch this years VMA's or even hear much about it, apart from the occasional tweet on twitter. However there seems to be so much controversy, and its all around the wrong thing.
Everyone seems to be going on about Kanye West's bid for attention in which he stormed on stage and snatched the microphone from taylor swift, who just won best female video and was giving her acceptance speech. He then proceed to tell everyone that Beyonce's vid for single ladies was the best video ever and he walked off the stage.
Now that in the words of Paul was a 'par'. However, why has nobody said anything about Jack Black's prayer to satan. Everywhere I've searched has like one line on it or even nothing at all. Why does nobody care about that? And what about Lady Gaga who aparantly sacrificed herself? I don't care if you are religious or not, but if I went into Kingston town centre and did that everyone would think I was mad! But because they are celebrities they get away with this behaviour and everyone thinks its a gimmick. Well I'm here to tell you it was not a gimmick. Full stop. If you would like to worship satan with these people then go right ahead. Have fun! x

What a life...
Sitting here as I have been the last couple of days, I began to think of all the things I could be doing with my life. Why is it that I find myself here, at this place in my life where I am stuck. AGAIN. I am not happy with my course at uni because it is BORING, but I will continue to do it because I want to get a degree. My dreams of being an author will not come to pass because I can not even get the motivation nor a good enough idea to actually write a novel. I am going to be 21 in just over a month and I can't even afford to celebrate it. There are a lot of other thing but it would take a lot of time to write and wouldn't be worth it really.
So what do I do? How do I change things so that I can move forward in life? I can't bear this anymore...
Pay it forward
Before I write this I just want to say how good it feels to have my laptop back!
Right now, back to business! While my laptop was getting fixed I thought I would catch up on my reading and so I went to the library to borrow some books. One of the books I borrowed was 'Pay it forward' by Catherine Ryna Hyde. Now I am not here to write about this book, because most people will not care, but rather I am writing about the concept of 'paying it forward' which is in the book.
Basically the idea is that one person starts of the chain, and does three big favours for three people. These favours need to be big, like things you would do for your family and maybe your closest friends. Then, instead of saying to these people 'you have to pay it back' you tell them that they have to 'pay it forward' meaning that they have to do a very big favour for three more people. Eventually it adds up, and everyone ends up doing favours for everyone else.
Now I think that is a marvellous system. However, would it work? Would people really pay it forward or would they just be grateful not to have to pay it back? I was having a discussion with someone about it, and they told me that they would never do it because they would feel as if they were being taken for a mug. That explains it all really doesn't it.
I just think that if people are looking for ways to change the world, then starting off small can always work!

What if...
This does not apply to one particular person, it applies to many different people. So if you read something and think it pertaines to you, it probably doesn't.
What if I had begged you and stayed with you?
Would I be the mother of your child?
Would I be the one crying as those gates shut behind you?
Would I have been trapped in a life where there is sure to be no happiness?
What if I had never met you?
Who would I truly be myself with?
Who would I turn to to make me laugh, when nobody else could?
Who would have seen me through some of the hardest times of my life?
What if I had passed first time round?
Would I have met different people,
had different interests?
Would I have enjoy my course?
What if we had got together?
What if the what if's of our relationship became truths?
What if you were mine and I was yours?
What if together, we could conquer anything?
What if you had never touched me?
What would I be like if that day had never happened,
if I had not been so naive and understood what was going to happen?
What if I could look at you and be happy to have known you?
What if you hadn't liked me?
What if you had decided you liked her better, and got with her?
Would you be with her still, and would I be with someone else?
Would I be happy?
I believe that everything that happens in your life will happen eventually,
if it is meant to happen it will,
so does that mean I am wasting my time with all these what ifs?
If all my what if's will come true...

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPOIL THE FILM FOR YOURSELF.
This a hundred percent deserves a blog post. Being a hardcore Harry Potter fan, I went to see the new film as soon as I possibly could! If you have read the books like me, then this film was probably a disappointment to you because:
1) They added some random extra bits, like why did the Weasley's house burn down?
2) They cut out all of the memories in the pensieve apart from like 2. And all of them were pretty important.
3) They cut out all the stuff to do with Harry and Ginny getting together. All we got was one little kiss... that was not what I read in the book!
4) Why was there no mention of the invisibility cloak? I watched the order of the phoenix pretty recently and I swear he had it then. And also it is featured a hell of a lot in the next one so I can imagine they are cutting out a lot from that.
5) Luna found Harry on the train??? I swear it was Tonks?
6) Swear Moaning Myrtle was supposed to have become Draco's confidant?
7) Swear that Bellatrix is not present when Snape kills Dumbledore?
8) Ginny had like four lines in the whole thing... like she is well my fave in the books and they have just pushed aside in this!
9) Blaise Zabini said one word or something like that... that is not right... especially because the actor was buff!
10) And most importantly: THEY CUT OUT DUMBLEDORE's FUNERAL!!! ARE THEY BARKING MAD!!!
I just feel like if you take it as a film in it's own right then it was an OK film, but in wake of the book it was just a very bad remake. Sorry to say. I'm really scared about what they are going to do with the Deathly Hallows!
However, it was very nice to see surbiton station in it! I felt like a part of the Harry Potter magic lol!
