KABOOM!

Totally forgot to add this to my last post "Puppies, kittens and fat asses". This is one of the funniest things I've seen on youtube. And it cheered me up big time when I watched it (guess what I was feeling shitty. I know it may look like I'm the biggest emo excisting. Although I do wear a lot of black, in a fashionably way of course, I am happy most of the time.). I watched every single video by Jabo0odyDubs after that and I couldn't stop crying of laughter.

I present you the very first video I watched by Jabo0odyDubs, which got my hooked and is great cheer-up material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOmvdeNa67E

Puppies and kittens and fat asses.

Not funny.

It's amazing how attending school can change your life. Well, I mean, of course it changes your life, it's education and all, I know the drill. But what I'm trying to say is that school changes your day-to-day-life and it sucks. Since school has started I haven't been feeling like doing anything besides watching tv and sleeping. Right now, as I'm writing this, I'm watching tv. And because nothing good is on right now, I'm watching Married With Children. And this is not the first time I'm watching it. It's so terrible and I can't believe my parents actually think it is funny. Last week I was watching it with my brother, making fun of it of course, and my father was sitting across the room working. And suddenly he burst out in laughter because he thought it was funny! And why does the audience clap everytime Al Bundy enters the studio EVERY SINGLE EPISODE?! WHY?! HE'S THE MOST ANNOYING ONE OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. Which is really weird because I love him in Modern Family.

Anywho, I thought I should post something to show you that we are still alive. Despite having to go to school. So here are some pictures that cheer you up and you mght want to take a look at if you feel like crap:

A kitten and a puppy, because they are adowable.

A sleeping kitten and a puppy, because they are even more adowable.

This set of photographs of Tom Felton and Rupert Grint, because the pics are cool and they are HOT.

And  this picture because you don't look like him (HER?) and you are beautiful.

And finally this picture of Zac Efron to get that horrible image  out your brain.

Well, that sure cheered me up a bit. I hope it cheered you up as well. And if you weren't feeling like crap before, lucky you. And enjoy!

p.s. We would love to hear something from you guys. So feel free to comment! xo

Miss Selena

So I haven't written in quite a while. I went to New York for two weeks with my boo (hihi) in early July. And it was awesome. I had never been to New York before and I've promised myself that I'll go back one day, maybe even to live there for a while. Once I had gotten back home from the Big Apple I had one hell of a jet lag to deal with. Which took me a little more than a week. And right after that I was too depressed that I wasn't in NYC anymore to deal with anything else in my life.

Well, that's not true. Hmm, it's partly true. I'm terrible with school breaks you see. Just terrible. When I have to go to school, I want to do all these other things than going to school but I don't have time to do them because I have to go to school. And when I don't have to go to school, I... well, I don't really do anything. That's probably a thing on my Top Ten Things I Hate About Myself-List. Honestly, I hate it. And I try to change it every time.

I wanted to do so many things this summer. Like painting, biking through the park with just my iPod and my thoughts, reading books for English in advance so I'd have actually read them for a change, cleaning up my room, hanging out with friends and writing for this blog. I cleaned my room, sort of. I'm still half way through the process. I did hang out with friends, once. I started reading To Kill A Mockingbird, I've read exactly 46 pages. And that's basically it. I have no clue how many weeks ago I left New York and what I did during those weeks.

I still have exactly eight days left until school starts. Eight days left to paint, bike, read, clean, hang and write. I  do feel ashamed of being able to plan ahead so many things and not doing any of it in the end. But it's not like the weather is great around here. Today was the first day I could wear shorts since I got back from New York!

I hope you all had or are having a great summer break. And although my summer holiday is almost over, doesn't mean the summer's over. Even though I didn't do many of the things I wanted to do the past couple of weeks, doesn't mean I can't do them once school has started.

xoxo,
Enya

P.S. "Why" you must be wondering "is this post titled 'Miss Selena'?". Well, I shall put you out of your misery and answer your question. Selena Gomez' latest album "When The Sun Goes Down" has been this summer's soundtrack to me. I thought I didn't have anything better to write about than Selena's dance-pop songs about Justin Bieber's swagger, until I realized how I felt about doing nothing this summer vacay.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

Hello!

Sorry we haven't been posting much, everyone's on holiday right now except me. Awesome, I know. Anyway, I just wanted to get this post done before I leave to go to the south of France after which I go to Scotland for two weeks.

I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, on tuesday and I would like to share my thoughts on it. This post will contain spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie yet and you don't want to know any details, don't read this. Even though you've all read the books so there's no spoiling it, right? Right? Good.

Okay, so I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 on tuesday. It was AWESOME. There were so many people dressed up as characters and wearing wizard robes. It was nerd heaven!
I have to say, i'm less sad about it ending than I thought I would be. I think I really experienced my 'post Harry Potter depression' in 2007 when the last book came out. Even though I love the movies, (I secretly hate them a bit, it's kind of a love hate thing. I can't explain it. So many things are wrong in the films, it irritates me.) I'm not as upset as I was back then. I'm still sad none the less.

Of all the Harry Potter films, I think this was the best one by far. They stayed quite true to the book which I really appreciated but there were things I am super upset about.
I loved the way they fixed the Ron and Hermione kiss, seeing as the reason they kissed in the book would have made no sense in the film. They cleaned that up nicely.
I loved everything that Neville did. Seriously, he was such a boss and really showed his inner Gryffindor and proved the Sorting Hat did not make a mistake. The Gringotts scene was amazing! I loved everything about it.

But I was unhappy about a couple of things, the Harry and Voldemort Stand off for example, IT WASN'T THERE. They were running around Hogwarts having the same epic fight scene they've had in the last couple of films. In the book, when they were circling around each other talking, challenging each other, THAT WAS AMAZING. The suspense was incredible and the whole school was watching in awe. I really missed that in the film, instead they replaced that big ball of awesome with a stupid fight scene in which they jump off a bloody cliff. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that. I was not amused.

They basically left out the whole story about Grindelwald and Dumbledore, hardly even mentioned Ariana and the rest of Dumbledore's past. What's the fucking point of introducing Grindelwald into part one if you're not going to explain any of it.
And I was kind of dissapointed by the lack of deaths we got to see. Not because I enjoy watching people die, but because I think they owed it to the characters. In the book, my favourite character Remus Lupin didn't get a death scene, I was very dissapointed by this and was hoping he would get one in the film. No one really did expect for the Death Eaters and Voldemort. Even when Fred died it was kind of like: You see Harry walk in. Fred is dead. He looks sad for a moment and then continues walking. That was very dissapointing.

I loved the fact that everyone applauded Mrs. Weasley for killing Bellatrix. She deserved it!
And oh my god if Alan Rickman does not get an oscar for his performance then I don't believe in oscars anymore. Because seriously, he was amazing! The way he portrayed Snape has always been great, but he blew my fucking mind with this. I would have liked the prince's tale to be a bit more detailed and longer but I enjoyed it nonetheless because Alan Rickman is such a boss! Honestly, I will gladly bow to him.

The epilogue was quite good! The children hardly said anything but I thought they aged them pretty well. And it was very emotional to see the children going off to Hogwarts. All in all, I enjoyed it. The book is 1000000000000 times better, but how could it ever live up to that?

My childhood is over now. It's time to grow up.

ps. I totally forgot to mention Harry walking to his death. TEARS. That is all.

How to Awesome-ize your nails

Sometimes when you feel like: "ugh, I don't want to do anything. I just want to lay in my bed/sofa/washing-machine." I always, well not always but a lot of the times, grab all my nail polish stuff and sit down for about an hour. This is the way I can entertain myself, without thinking about school or other things that might stress me out. I just set my mind on blanc, and paint my nails. 

The thing is that I usually don't paint my nails one colour, I always try to make it into a creative little art piece. I started doing that a looong time ago, just for fun, but now I feel like I need to outreach the last time and make it look even nicer this time. 

At this moment my nails are light blue, with a sort of purple coating with glitters[I Love glitters!] which makes the light blue, dark blue. So you can easily mix up lots of colours together without destroying your nail polish!

Now i will give you simple tips how to do it yourself!

- If you have a left-over eyeliner brush, use it! it is very very useful, because it is usually a smaller brush than the actual nailpolish brush. Now you can make tiny stripes on your nails, ISN'T THIS FUN!

- Try to keep you nailpolish at a dark and cold spot. This sounds weird of course, I know I didn't believe it in the first place, but it seems that in summer nailpolish gets all sticky, so coldness is better for nailpolish to keep it smooth! [SILKY-smooth!]

- The more nailpolish, the more FUN!

Useful Patterns:

- horizontal stripes [Think: every stripe a different colour!]

- vertical stripes

- diagonal stripes

- tiny hearts [this is harder than you might think! Only now you realise that your hand shakes just a tiiiny little bit!]

- polkadots

- the pattern you usually make on a apple pie, i don't know what it's called. 

This is sort of the pattern I mean, apple-pie-pattern!

So that is basically the easy, basic stuff you can make up yourself right?

Then there's this 'nail stamp' which looks like this:

So the round metal thing has patterns in it, you apply the nail polish and scrape it off with the scraper and then VERY QUICK [ so the nail polish doesn't dry'] you stamp the pink stamp on the nail polish, and then onto your nail. Make sure though, that you have a base layer before applying the stamp onto your nail! It's very fun, because if you do it right, it looks kinda proffesional! But trust me, it didn't work out for me until 3 tries! so don't think you're a loser and can't coop with the nail stamp, it needs time!

If you think I really really missed out on some cool tips, or advices please comment! [I appreciate feedback, AND I would also like to improve my nailpolishing skills!]

You may have noticed that I posted three of my older blogs in the span of two minutes. In the future, when there's a movie made about us like that Facebook one, the reason for this mysterious and puzzling event will be thoroughly and dramatically explained and exaggerated. Because we don't want to spoil the movie, we can't give away the reason just yet, so you will have to watch the movie "The Blog" (2020) to discover my particular reasons and all the behind-the-scenes-drama.

To apologize for all the confusion, a picture of Zac Efron:

In the movie, Zac will play my boyfriend. His character is called "Zac Efron"

Dorothy Parker is Awesome

It's Monday, and as you all know, my day is supposed to be Friday (don't worry, I'm sharing it with Rebecca Black) Only, because I have this phobia for planning, deadlines and anything that has to do with time management, I'm doing it today.

I know we're supposed to introduce ourselves on our first blog post, but I won't torture you (You is a hypothetical term. I don't know who "you" are, probably Enya or Eylinn or the voices in my head, maybe even some nameless stranger who found this website on internet. Hi nameless stranger!) with the boring details of my equally boring life. Let me introduce you to somebody awesome instead.

 This is Dorothy Parker. She was born in 1893 and died in June 7, 1967. She was a writer, poet, feminist and basically fabulous woman. She was also badass, she had affaires with married writers like that dude who wrote The Great Gatsby, and she stood up for the rights of coloured people. And she was such a bitch, a quote: "If you have nothing nice to say, come sit by me."

"It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard." (hihi)

Someone told Dorothy that Clair Boothe Luce was even kind to her inferiors; Parker replied "Where does she find them?" (hihi)

"His ignorance was an Empire State Building of ignorance. You had to admire it for its size."

She also had a bob, which was the flapper-style haircut of the roaring twenties, which makes me love her even more. I think she lived in a pretty cool time, just when the world was about to get away from the dated Victorian ideals, when Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald were alive and there were smoky jazzbars and flappers and those black-and-white movies I love.

When she was being interrogated by the FBI (because homegirl was apparantly supporting communism. Some people have cocaine addictions, and Dorothy had supporting communism as a flaw.)she said:

  Listen, I can't even get my dog to stay down. Do I look like someone who could overthrow the government?

Dororthy was even pro-gay, in the fucking twenties:  "Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common."

And I will end this blog with a few wise words of Dorothy:

Resumé

"Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain you;

And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren’t lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live."

Comment

 Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,

A medley of extemporanea;

And love is a thing that can never go wrong;

And I am Marie of Roumania.
