unblocking my writer's block



yes, i am supposed to be annotating my shakespeare script at the moment, but it has been so long since i have written. my internet decided to go away with the butterflies for a while you see:) but now it's back, and so am i.

i will begin this gorgeous tag that seli gave me♥

Seven Things I Always Need
1. I goodnight kiss and hug. It somehow makes me feel so happy and content before I go to sleep:)
2. To be loved. To have somewhere there who I can always talk to if I'm having a bad day, to hug me and hug me until my tears dry.
3. To be able to perform! To act and to dance is an amazing way to keep my worries away. I just returned from an amazing weekend of learning dance in 5 different styles - jazz, hip hop, musical theatre, funk and lyrical
4. A good book. I love to read, ask anyone who is close to me:) I'm reading Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley at the moment it is sooo beautiful.
5. To have alone time. Of course I adore my friends, especially Seli:) , but alone time is so valuable to me, to think and to write.
6. My diary. Some people think writing a diary is just what little girls do to write their crushes and secrets of the last 10 seconds, but it is really so much more than that. I use mine to write what comes to mind, poetry, and especially songs. I love love writing songs:)
7. God, and my family. Always with me, never without me:)

Now I tag...erimentha, felicity, charlotte, and Grace:)


My list for you: Seven Things in your favourite colour :)

Aside from the tag photo, all photos are mine.

TAG TWO:

Here's the deal: put your playlist on shuffle, and use the first 10 songs that come up. Write down the first thing that comes to mind with each song.

Trainwreck by Demi Lovato
My bestie of course! She introduced me to Demi's sweet music:)

You're Beautiful by James Blunt
Uuuuhhh my boyfriend put this song on my ipod. Nuff said ;)

Comatose by Skillet
Reminds me of my faith sometimes, and how much I need God. It also has such AMAZING instrumentals!! It is filled with the wowness that is classical violins mixed with electric guitar!

Crazier by Taylor Swift
At wearable arts this year there was a dress in the youth section that modeled to this song. It was a masquerade outfit, I thought it was really sweet! My outfit at the wearable arts was half nurse in scrubs and half matron - all made out of hospital rubbish! My mum's workmates made it. I got to act all evil and formidable aaaand carry a threatening looking giant syringe!! It was MEAN. Wow look what I got from a Taylor Swift song lol

Realize by Colbie Caillat
awww I borrowed this CD from my friend Becca...sweet Becca:) I only recently just started listening to it - it is exactly like her - sweet and optimistic

Imaginary by Evenescence
I recall I had this song on my ipod while on the bus to paintball at year 10 activity week...good times! Little bit of a love triangle was going on then haha. It's all fine now. And paintball ruled!

Should've Tried Harder by Hey Monday
I only recently started listening to this too...but I was listening to it in the car on the way to Auckland for my parents Pearl Jam concert!

Live and Let Die by Guns N' Roses
Hahahaha remember on Shrek the Third when all the toads were singing? It was this song lol. Ironically, it makes me laugh everytime I hear it. It also reminds me of my boyfriend (his band has played several GNR songs! Consequently I got this song from him!)

Miracle by Paramore
I was obsessed with this song not too long ago...It really speaks to me. "I'm not going coz I've been waiting for a miracle..."

Horseshoes and Handgrenades by GreenDay
Well, this is the song we always skip in the car so as to shield my younger siblings ears from the travesty that is swearing!!

Thankyou Seli for your tags!!

Courtney

a sweet surprise tag!

The task: fill in 12 likes, 1 love and 8 hates like Cassie in her therapy video. Below, the bolded things are what you MUST include. Also, please link it back to me, and link it onto 3 other blogs you admire!

I like boys who can read between the lyrics and girls who I can relate to.
I like people who care about more than what they look like
I like long car trips, where I can just sit and think as the world rushes by.
I like writing poems and little stories that relate to all the little happenings in my life.
I like going to the library. To take in the quiet warmth and read.
I like the relaxing warmth of plunging into a hot pool for the first few seconds.

I like wearing beautiful dresses in the shop changing rooms and dream of being a princess going to the ball.
I like laughing with my family and friends.
I like my favourite camping spot, the beach, and everything around it.
I like reading…escaping to different worlds.
I like roses – smelling them, looking at them, receiving them :)
I like dancing and acting – they make me feel free and special

I love this world and everything in it, especially my family, my besties and that someone beginning with the 10th letter of the alphabet.

I hate walking past clouds of cigarette smoke in town.
I hate not knowing what he’s thinking.
I hate having a bad hair day
I hate thinking about my future but in a way I love it because I can be who I want to be.
I hate being criticised and teased for trying my best and achieving highly
I hate feeling silly in front of people who make me feel small.
I hate needing to hug him so much, and not being able to because he’s not mine.
I hate how celebrities get paid so much more than they need, and how so much money gets put into movies and entertainment, when there are other places it could go, like starving children, for whom a TV, let alone a decent meal is a distant dream.

I’d love to tag:

My best friend who forever understands me, Seli of Random Musings of Seli
Lily, the imaginative and beautiful spirited author of my fave blog, Pixie Dust and Rose Petals
Talented and adorable Pansieberry of Here Behind the Looking Glass

Have a lovely day!
