Gregory Peck and Mary Badham as Atticus and Scout Finch in the movie adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird.
One of my favourite movies of ALL time. The book? I remember having to read it for my Lit GCSEs and absolutely falling IN LOVE with all the characters. Scout reminded me so much of myself as a kid: Wide eyed and full of all sorts of wild ideas...
*Not much has changed there though. I'm still over excited and let my imagination run amok most times.
The characters were just too shweet! And poor ole' Boo Radley...
P.S: If you haven't read To Kill A Mockingbird, I strongly suggest you do. Very gripping tale of racism and life in the 30s. Vivid, compelling imagery about a little insular town in Northern America.
Or, watch the movie, if you're lazy. But I recommend the book!
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Excerpt from the book
Oooh... Picture taken off Tumblr.
MY tumblr, to be exact. Haaa! I know what you're thinking, I joined the bad band wagon. But it's summer, or at least when England decides to realise this it will be. And such things are allowed.
I quite like it you know; Tumblr! (click the link above to have a gander if you'd like! )
So, i'm a wee bit...actually VERY obsessed with Ella Fitzgerald. And Louis Armstrong. And George Benson. And all those kind of people my parents listened to and reminisce about.
But yeah. You get the picture, right?
Anyways. I just found this. And yeah, I have the song and know all the words to it and all, but it NEVER occurred to me to youtube the darling lady!!! And I found this video clip that has ultimately made me smile. Well, since you obviously want to know why its brought such joy, i'll tell you. Watching it made me feel like I was actually watching her perform, you know, like I was at an Ella Fitzgerald concert! (sorry, my imaginations run wild all the time, so visualising myself at an event which happened YEARS before I was even THOUGHT about is terribly easy).
Added to the fact that I haven't ever been to a concert of any kind, which made my imagination go even MORE berserk.
But yeah. Here it is.
How cool is she!!!!
And this is my FAVOURITE. The video is so playful and the song is so childish and she's talking about yellow baskets all over the place... The kind of stuff that gets me unnecessarily excited. I obviously have a life, don't you know!
This has obviously enabled prime bonding time with me and the 'rentals, seeing as this is 'history repeating itself' , as my mother has said...
But yeah. It seems my room needs a tidy.
So,
Annah (You're obviously NOT as cool as me to know that this is goodbye in Pocahontas' language).
xoxo!
you will refer to me as 'Her Ladyship', henceforth...
LOL. Was messing around with le webcam and decided to show the world my err... true colours.
...I'm supposed to be jobhunting or depressed at my lack of any offers right about now. But, i'm 'too blessed to be stressed'. Plus I know God will give me one in his appointed time. Amen. I keep repeating that to myself so I don't go coo-coo with worry...
*Marchesa post...erm...coming soon...* i think...
Might/might not be taking a break...need to get serious with this job thing.
scarlett o'hara - gone with the wind.... a whole 4 hrs of my time!
so....
hello there. it's been awhile since I imparted beautiful words of wisdom on this, and I thought, why not? since I have nothing to do (well... i might have coursework to hand in and tests to revise for, but thats totally BESIDES the point).
But yeahhh, lest i digress, back to the topic of anything. Whilst scouring through past blog posts, I realized something. That this is just a random jumble of thoughts and raw unprocessed rubbish. I like to think of it as art, you know, given the random beauty of it, how almost none of the blogs make sense?
*LOL*
So, here's the conclusion. I will try.. the main word here being TRY to write about something.... not just anything, because anything is quite a broad subject really!
Hope you like itttt!
Bisous for nowww!!
P.S: still trying to figure out how to work this damned template thing!!!!! I need HELP!!!! lol.
the picturessss.... just the last bout of randomness...

if you have free stuff that you would love to bless me with, THAT would be extremely cool. Thanks!

Word of advice...
Never... ever, knock off a person's style simply because you cannot comprehend it. Needless to say, said (bad) dresser might think likewise of your Chanel - clad self. So leave 'em be, and do you. Art is personal, however ugly it may look to you. Expresssss yo' self!
