MAY FAVOURITES

Movies & TV Shows

Perfect Sisters


Perfect Sisters was not what I expected it to be. As it was in the horror section of Showbox I was expecting some flick with an insane sister or something. But it was the complete opposite. It was such an emotional movie based on a real story in which two sisters murdered their Mother as they couldn't take her alcoholism anymore. With the emotional ending it kind of makes us feel sorry for the sisters. It also ends with Wait by M83 which makes it even worse. Oh God...Right in the feels.

Drawn Together


I don't even remember how I came across this show but I don't regret deciding to watch it. It has so much gags and is quite a unique show. For fans of Family Guy and American Dad, I really recommend this show. 

Books

...But I Love You


This book is literally one of my favorites and I'm not even halfway through yet! The story basically explores the attitudes many people have towards gays and lesbians.It promotes the fact that everyone is a normal human at the end of the day whether you are gay or straight. Talk about inspiring!! Also I ship Helena and Kate! OTP! 

Makeup & Cosmetics


I came across this rose gold eye shadow by L'Oreal Paris the other day called 'Pin Up Pink' and it has to be my most favorite eye shadow ever. It's so cute and pretty and helps my eyes stand out. I wear this basically everyday I go out now I'm that obsessed. Thank you L'Oreal Paris for this wonderful eye shadow which has made such a massive impact on my life. Haha. 


Music


Lately all I've been listening to is three songs that The Living Tombstone made for the popular game franchise Five Nights at Freddy's. He made three songs for each game; The first one is basically from the point of view of the animatronics who only want to be friends with Mike, the second is from the point of a Mother who's child dies at the hands of the Purple guy and the third is from the point of view of the Purple guy. Pretty intense songs. But so good!

HOW TO IDENTIFY FAKE FRIENDS

Hey guys! So you can probably tell from the title that I'm going to talk about my past friendship with a certain indiviual and what I learned from them. To hide the friend's identities I am going to be referring to them by a nickname.

Hellspawn 


I was friends with Hellspawn for three years and, boy, what an experience that was. I have never had a more horrible friend than her. Yes, guys. It's rant time!

Spoilt

Hellspawn was literally the most spoilt person I've ever met.  Her spoilt behaviour started when she was a child with a situation in which her mother gave Hellspawn and her sister a £1 to get whatever they wanted in the shop. Her sister used it wisely and got two things whilst Hellspawn only got one thing.  She begged her mother for more money who said no because they had the same amount. Ever since then, her mother has apparantly treated Hellspawn like dirt unlike her sister. I didn't believe the story when I heard it. But when I heard from her, I literally was face palming inside my head.

I remember going to Hellspawns house and I used to wait while she did her chores for her to come hang out. The only house work she had to do was polish the door frames with a wipe. Such an easy task. Yet she still complained. I clean my bedroom and the bathroom in my house all the time! And I don't complain at all!

I also remember having a conversation with her about religion. She always claimed that she didn't believe in God. At the time I really cared bout religion so I basically was trying to get it into her head that it was real (I respect other peoples views now). So she opened up to me and said, "I do believe in him. But I don't rely on him What's he ever done for me?" As some of you know, my Mother is actually deceased. I had to resist the urge to say to her, "He lets you have both your parents still." But I knew if I did she would resolve to bitching about me behind my back.

So emo

Hellspawn used to listen to a lot of bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Sleeping with Sirens...you get it. She listened to emo/punk bands and I had nothing against that. I just didn't like how the music affected her. She started to act depressed all the time an whined more often. One day we were out walking and I said to her, "Dude, you've only started acting like this ever since you've started listening to that music." She reacted pathetically. She took a hissy fit and declared that I wasn't the only person to say that. Well surely if there were others it must mean it's true!

She also had a problem with other peoples music tastes. She always insulted Lady Gaga in front of me. I told her it hurt and she basically said to me, "Everyone insults my music taste. Why can't I insult other peoples tastes?" Talk about bitchy logic.

Compulsive Liar

Hellspawn and another girl, who we shall call Dosey for the time being, were always causing fights. Sometimes against each other. Sometimes against me. I will share with you all a situation that really happened. I will tell the story how I remember it. I will not lie or exaggerate anything.

So basically there was a girl we used to hang out with called Alex who was friends with me and Hellspawn. At one point we started to really dislike Alex and I can't even remember why. Anyway, I was on a walk with Hellspawn and we were talking about CSI and crime scene things. She then said to me, "Do you know Alex said your Dad pushed your Mom down the stairs."

A few days later, Dosey said to me, "Alex said your Dad choked your Mom with her own tongue."

Of course I was absolutely infuriated. I know how my Mom died and it was none of the above. Also my Dad loved my Mom so much. Obviously I told my Dad and a whole confrontation was held. Alex claimed that she hadn't said anything. My Dad then visited Hellspawn's family to which she claimed she hadn't said anything like that at all.

The next time I saw Hellspawn was in school. She said that I misunderstood what she said. She said, "Remember we were talking about CSI? And we were saying what if your Mom was actually murdered." Later Alex confronted Hellspawn and was asking her why she said such things about her. Hellspawn bit her lip and kept her eyes on the ground and said, "you did. You said it." So strange that she remembered only then!

It was obvious she was lying. I lost a friend because of her lie.

Jealous

Hellspawn was always jealous because of stupid things. She hated when people got drunk because she apparently couldn't. She was jealous because she had a good life with no family problems of situations. And I am not exaggerating that. I am being honest.

As some of you know Siun is one of my best friends and Hellspawn was always jealous of her. I remember she gave me her phone to keep as she got a new one. And stupidly she forgot to delete her messages. I know that looking through other peoples messages is an intrusion of privacy. But I couldn't resist. She was saying so many negative things about me to others. One of the messages to her boyfriend was about how I spend too much time with Siun. But Hellspawn was a terrible friend who whined a lot and made me feel anxious. Siun was the complete opposite.

Inconsiderate

One time me, Hellspawn, Siun and another friend Colleen were on lunch duty and we had to make sure students were going in the right doors. A former friend tried to pick a fight with us because we couldn't let her in. I defended her and said she was just an angry person. Hellspawn then asked why the former friend goes to Youthlife (a bereavement agency for young people) and I explained her family situation - one of the things being her Grandparent died who she was really close to. Hellspawn then said, "I don't get why people go to Youthlife for the death of their grandparents. Everyones grandparent dies!" Little did she know Siun's granny wasn't in good health. So I confidently said to Hellspawn, "Listen, you have no idea who you are saying that to."


There are tonnes of more stories to tell but I have wrote enough. So from this friendship I learned that if a friend is constantly whining about stupid things, tell her that its nothing to be so whiny about. And if she isn't happy with that forget about her! If a friend is constantly stirring up stories to start a fight because of her anger, ditch her immediately. She is trouble!

Until next time guys! Bye!

MY TOP 10 FAVOURITE SFM'S

Hey there friendship! I'm a big fan of Team Fortress 2 as some of you already know (all two of you fans, haha). So today I'm going to share with you my Top 10 Favourite Source Filmmaker videos as, to be honest, I enjoy watching them than playing the actual game. Such a true fan! Anyway hope you guys enjoy!

10. Heavy is Pretty Princess - Flubbman97


This was definitely one of the funny ones! I mean, come on. Heavy asking Spy to stroke his head in order to get a wish! It is pretty hilarious. Especially Heavy's reaction as the Spy awkwardly brushes his head. It was kind of disappointing though that it didn't win a Saxxy back in 2012. But snaps and claps overall.

9. All Star - ItalianNinja98


Who knew the vocals of Steve Harwell would match the Scout's perfectly. This video brought me back to my childhood with All Star by Smashmouth. If you don't know the song and you're were born in nineties then you had no childhood. Overall though, this video is so cool and the outfits are amazing.

8. Scream Bloody Fortress -  Can't Sleep


No wonder the creator "Can't Sleep"! He must've been doing all nighters to create this. I obviously had to include a video starring everyones favourite wizard Harry Potter Merasmus. He is so powerful yet in many SFM's he seems to get it tight. This is hilarious and is definitely worth a watch!

7. Pyro in Love -  Brent Kennedy


There is definitely something about seeing Pyro finding himself a gal. And what a better way than to make a romantic comedy about it. The maker also used Heatwave by The Supremes for the collage of the loving Pyros. What is it about using Motown/Pop songs for Pyro that makes the character more interesting? Overall, this is a hilarious video and the Pyro love is just to die for...if you watch you'll get what I mean. ALSO, this was nominated for the 2012 Saxxy's. I din't win but it was amazing!

6. Heavy, Scout and Spy: High School Shenanigans - Mark Watson


Mark Watson is quite a unique film maker as he makes his Source Filmmaker videos in the style of GMod videos and they can still maintain the comedy element of randomness. This video basically portrays a normal school day. Trust me, watch this and I bet you'll nod your head and be like "Yup, that's me."

5. Meet the Casserole - Harmon Productions


Here we have a parody of the Meet the Team videos created by Harmon Productions. It also stars the ever so lovely DustyOldRoses voicing Femscout, Femspy and Femgineer. Why is Dusty so perfect? Also I really hate casserole so I kind of feel Scout and Spy's pain...even though the casserole in this video sounds like it was made a completely different way than my how my Dad makes it. Kudos anyway to Harmon Productions and DustyOldRoses. Thank you for this brilliant video.

4. Once Upon a Time in 2fort - Konstantine Rymaruk 


This one isn't so comical. The ending is quite emotional. It also features quite a beautiful soundtrack with a song by The National. The video is split into two parts and is brilliantly edited. Plus there are more deaths than there were in the famous Red Wedding. Slight exaggeration but, yes, death is everywhere in this one.

3. Lil' Guardian Pyro - Harry101UK 


Imagine this; You're going to see Pixar's latest film (let's pretend it Team Fortress the movie) and before the movie begins we get to watch the mini movie they always play beforehand and it's called Lil Guardian Pyro. Seriously, this SFM is like one of those mini movies that play before Pixar movies in the cinema. It's so charming and adorable. It was the charm and comedy that crowned this Best Overall movie in the Saxxys of 2013.

2. Expiration Date - teamfortress


Here is one made by Valve itself. Expiration Date definitely will go down in history. It has more quotable lines than Mean Girls and the characters are so fun to watch. We also were properly introduced to Miss Pauling which was quite interesting. Because of this animation we are forever meeting Soldiers carrying around bread and Scouts with buckets of chicken at conventions! Thank you Valve!

1. Til' Death Do Us Part - Lozeng3r


Here it is! My number one pick! Till Death Do Us Part is a two part horror animation with more drama than The Walking Dead. In this movie, we follow the mercenaries as they fight off deadly killers in a zombie apocalypse. It's not based on the well known TF2 fanfic Respawn of the Dead but it definitely does slay! It was also nominated for the Saxxy awards in 2012 for Best Drama. It didn't win but it will always be a winner for me!

So that is it for today, guys! Hope all you TF2 fans out there enjoy my selection. Do you have any favourite SFM animations? Comment below! Until next time, brochachos! Bye

What's in my bag?


Hey Guys! So for my entry today I'm going to share with you all what is in my bag. So here's an opportunity to be nosey. You're invited! Also, your friends are invited! So bring your buddies here to see the contents of my bag.


I always have my purse in my bag. I will always need it as it holds all my cards and cash. People who don't take their purses or wallets with them on a daily bases confuse me. I got this purse at Q-Con and I love it so much. It's so quirky.


In my bag, I also bring powder and a powder brush in case I'm in need of covering up that deep blush! *Cringes at cringy-ness*. You never know when you're gonna need to touch up on your makeup. And since I am the eyeliner Queen Supreme, I need to carry around eyeliner in case I'm in need of a touch up around my eyes too. As for lipgloss and lipstick, I carry three different shades everyday in order to determine which shade i'm in the mood to wear for the day. I'm also a huge fan of the NO.7 Shine & Tint lipgloss range. Seriously guys, try them out!



I always carry around a notepad as someday I want to be a writer. I write down ideas that randomly pop into my head so I don't forget them and I sometimes use it to take notes in class. It's so handy and looks cute. I also carry around a book to read in case I want to entertain myself. Right now I'm reading ...But I love You by Sinead Gillespie and it's so good!

So there you all have it! The contents of my bag. There's nothing special in there but it was fun to write about!

Until next time guys!
