Boris our pet rabbit, he's absolutely gorgeous!

Having my Mum around me all the time

Having a song I love stuck in my head

Battenberg Cake

My little brothers and sisters, sure they can be annoying at times, but I have no idea what I'd do without them!!

My amazingly awesome best friend, LOVE YOU KATIEKAT!

Writing poems, stories, fics, anything!

Acting, even though I haven't done any in a while

Reading

Looking over old photos, scrapbooks and things from when I was little and before

My hair being almost completely blonde again! (I got bored of blonde and dyed it black ok, and I refused to dye it back, I wanted to let it grow out)

Helping to teach my brothers and sisters

Knowing how far I've come in such a short space of time

Being able to sing along to songs without being told to shut up because I sound awful

TUMBLR, FANDOMS AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS! Seriously, you guys are all amazing! (I thought I'd group them all together because I'm pretty sure there's more than 15 things in my fandoms!)

so I guess it's time for:

Suzan's Rock Werchter Awards 2014

best artist: Passenger

best voice: Hannah from London Grammar

best crowd: the crowd at Imagine Dragons, great atmosphere and everyone was singing and dancing along

biggest party: Arsenal

worst crowd: MGMT, tent was packed with people before the gig, they started leaving after two songs (and disturbing those who wanted to watch) and after they played Kids half of the crowd went away

biggest disappointment: Miles Kane

biggest surprise 1.: Sam Smith, what a crowd for that guy! and he can sing 

biggest surprise 2.: Katy B, my friend really wanted to see her, and it was great!

worst ending: Stromae, after every song he went backstage for a costume change. We didn't realise his gig ended, we just thought it was another costume change 

best food: it's a tie between the delicious fresh fruit salad and the awesome chicken burgers

best midnight snack: chicken burger 

most annoying people: the girls at Katy B who did everything to get on the video screens. 

shortest meet-up: with my awesome friend Eline ( itsallagameofchanceinwonderland ) we run into her while we were looking for a spot on the camping. I literally dropped all my bags to give her a hug.

and at last, a shortlist of interactions with random people:

the random guys who found shelter from the rain under my friend's umbrella

the dude who complimented me on my glasses 

the drunk Dutch dudes who tried chatting us up

the French girl who convinced my friend to draw on my leg with her sharpie

if you are using chrome, you should install the extension called ‘Hola Beter Internet’ way better than tunnelbear ;)

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.
