Who's Gonna Turn Off The Light?

Firstly I'd like to thank Nelly Furtado for the inspiration behind the title for this blog post!  Thanks Nel.  Secondly I'd like to explain what this post is actually about.  So last week B and I went to see Insurgent in the cinema - 10/10 fun for the whole family, great performances from bedhead, Ansel, Miles and the whole cast.  Anyway, this is not a film review post so I wont elaborate on the film any further, all I would say is that if you haven't seen it yet then definitely check it out!! 

After the film B and I were discussion Four and how in a Divergent world our name's would have to be like Fourteen as the very least - Personally I'll put my hands up and say I'd probably be called Forty but lets settle for fourteen...

I'm afraid you'll have to get it Nelly, I'm too scurred

So this post is dedicated to 14 of my biggest fears.

1. The dark.  I'm not as afraid of the dark as I was as a child but if it's between me turning off the light at night or someone else then I'm going to vote for someone else to do it every time.
2. Sharks.  This fear very possibly derived from me watching Jaws when I was too young but regardless of where it came from the fear is real.  I used to be too scared to get into the pool for swimming lessons in case there was a shark, yes in an indoor swimming pool. 
3. Airplane crash.
4. Meeting Ed Westwick or Taylor Swift while looking like a not-so-hot mess/not having a camera on me.  
5. Aliens.  I hope ET stays home this time.
6. Finding a genie lamp and being offered 3 wishes then having all the wishes taken away for wishing for unlimited wishes #Iwanttheworld #Iwantthewholeworld #VerucaSalt
7. Spiders.  Is it because they have more legs than most of God's creatures?  Is it the fact that they can creepy crawl their way into your life when you least expect it?  Who knows, but they are disgusting. 
8. Going for surgery and being able to feel everything but not being able to move or talk so the surgeon keeps operating.
9. Suzanne Collins releasing a 4th book where Katniss chooses Gale #no
10. Being a crazy cat lady 
11. My cats running away and leaving me as just a crazy lady.  Alone. Catless
12. Gossip Girl being removed from Netflix
13. Not realising that I've been in love with Rhett all along until he doesn't give a damn #Franklymydear
14. My group chats and private mail conversations being unleashed onto the world.

Rhett please give a damn

Good point

Why risk it?

So there you have it, 14 of my fears.  Luckily their is one thing stronger than fear and that's hope - or so Pres Snow says.  

Until next time,

Insurgent: A Tale Of Hair Regret

Yo, Queen G here giving you the 411 that will make you go nuts.

So last week in between studying and taking long walks in the rarely seen Scottish sun B and I adventured out to one of our favourite hangouts - the cinema!  This time to see Insurgent - also known as Divergent 2: An Unfortunate Case Of Bedhead... Regardless of what the cool kids are calling it B and I can confidently say the movie was a lot of fun! 

You said it Tay!

Some of B and I's highlights include:

• Ansel. Ansel, oh Ansel.  Tragic in everyway a person can be tragic.  The running, the inability to do anything remotely helpful, the innocent lost lamb look in those beautiful eyes.  If it wasn't for the fact that by the end of the film you were completely unforgivable I would have liked nothing more than to take you under my wing and shelter you from Kate and all the evils of the world!
• Bedhead.  I couldn't help but shed a few tears and go through a brief mourning period for the loss of those beautiful long locks.  However, once I poured myself a drink, put on some lipstick and pulled myself together I was over it and I was able to fully appreciate what a wonderful crier Shailene Woodley is.  I see a bright future ahead for her and wait, wait, what't that noise?  Can you hear it too?  I believe it's an Oscar of the future calling out her name.
• Miles, like Lorde, was a lot sillier than you'd first imagine!  He kept the lols coming and took everyone, or at least everyone who hasn't read the books, by surprise when he saved the day towards the end of the film! 3 for you Miles Teller, you go Miles Teller!
• Theo, I couldn't help but wonder how much Theo would charge Sam Claflin for American Accent lessons because Theo's accent was on point.  
• Kate.  Let's be real, I think we can all agree that her problem was never actually with the Divergents and that in the end all she really wanted was to be painted like a French girl once again #Wearingthis #Wearingonlythis
• Naomi, what were you like 4 when Theo was born? Is that really where he got his name from? 

These were just a few of our thoughts on the film.  I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again!  over all I'd give the film a solid 9/10.

Fun fact: If I were in Divergent I would 100% be an Amity, brushing the horses, riding the horses, becoming one with the horses... Amity is basically one big horse camp.  B would like to think she is Dauntless but considering she's a 60% rule breaker and a 40% wanderer-offer she'd most likely end up factionless either from being asked to leave for rule breaking or from wandering off during the choosing ceremony before actually selecting a faction.

Until next time,

xoxo
