10 Day Challenge Day 8: 3 Films
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
I love films so this will be another tough post for me.
3. Never Let Me Go. This film is based on the book of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro and its amazing. I was gutted after I watched it the first time and it still remains one of my most favorite Sci Fi movies.
2. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I know, not the most factual of movies but a bloody great movie for entertaining you solidly. I watched this with my cousins during the summer during a pretty dramatic night. It's a great film, you should check it out.
1. Dirty Dancing. This gets the #1 spot because it's the earliest film I remember seeing. I must have seen this when I was about 5 or 6 and I love it. Always have, always will. Patrick Swayze was a babe.
Oh we're getting close to the end guys!
Tomorrow, 2 Songs.

10 Day Challenge Day 7: 4 Books
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
4 Books. Who made this challenge up anyways? 40 books wouldn't be enough scope!!! GOD! I'm just going to talk about what I'm currently reading, because I have multiple books on the go always!
4. Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy. This is an amazing book, but the only word that I can use to describe its size, length and density is a TOME. Proceed with caution on this one.
3. 11 Doctors; 11 Stories. This is an anthology by 11 different writers and so far I am quite enjoying it, though I only read it on the bus to college so its been unloved since I finished up for Christmas. Soon, though...
2. Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green. John Green is unarguably one of my favorite writers of YA fiction and a very nice chap to boot. I got to meet him last February in the RDS at a signing for the Irish Launch of his most recent book, The Fault in Our Stars.
1. Game of Thrones; A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin. This book is brilliant and I'm slowly getting through it. I love the detail in it compared to the show.
Hey I actually did it!
Tomorrow, 3 Films.

10 Day Challenge Day 6: 5 Foods
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
Go and put on your "Eating Trousers" and then let me take you through my 5 favorite foods. This will not be a calorie neutral post.
5. Mashed Potatoes. The ultimate comfort food. They're amazebeans laced with real butter, maybe a smidge of finely diced onion and some parsley. Oh I'm drooling just typing about it!
4. Chicken Fajitas. Possibly my favorite "go-to" food, for the ease and flavours. Oh I love whipping up fajitas any time of day, but that may be the penchant for spicy food talking!
3. Chicken Taryaki Soba (from Wagamama). I get this every time I go to Wagamama and it never ceases to amaze me. Its sweet but its tart and the sauce is thick and beautiful. The noodles are always perfect and the chicken is tender, juicy and delicious. A+, Wagamama.
2. Gelato. Not technically something I am meant to have, being lactose intolerant, but every now and again I have to do it. I love bubblegum gelato the most. Yum yum,
1. Burritos. I have had a long standing burrito addiction since late August of 2013 and I cannot go without mentioning them. They are my Kryptonite.

10 Day Challenge Day 5: 6 Places
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
I suppose I could have included some of these in my "7 Wants" yesterday, but luckily I didn't.
I suppose I could have included some of these in my "7 Wants" yesterday, but luckily I didn't.
6. If I could visit places from books, I would do it in a heartbeat. Westeros, Middle Earth, Panem... Those would be nice to start with. Maybe a trip to Wonderland too. And Rosewood, while I'm at it.
5. Wales. I love Wales beyond all reason. The people are so friendly, the scenery is to die for and they have so many fluffy sheep! The last time I was in Wales I went with my sister and it was great. I must go back for a visit soon.
4. Germany. I have a bit of German, and I've never had the opportunity to use it. I would love to go for a long weekend to Berlin to experience the culture.
3. America. It has always intrigued me as a country, the people seem to be very nice from the limited experience I have of Americans and come on, the shopping, the weather, the space?! I wanna go, nooooow!
2. Portugal. I haven't been in almost 10 years and I would love to go back there, to the same resort and everything. When we were there we made friends with the owner of this bar and restaurant, and we had our own private pool. Decadence at its best.
1. Helsinki. It is my lifes ambition to go to Helsinki and experience the culture, the food, the music over there. I am a huge fan of the Finnish Love Metal band HIM and I would give anything to see where it all started.
What do you think of my 6 places?
Tomorrow, 5 Foods. Mmm, can't wait!

10 Day Challenge Day 3: 8 Fears
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
8 Fears. God help me.
8. Being Alone. I am deathly afraid of being deserted and left alone with nobody. It makes me shiver just thinking about it.
7. Failure. I want to be a successful person, who kicks ass and takes names. I was distraught when I failed my driving test.
6. Medical Procedures. Christ, the thoughts of having any kind of surgery or treatment where there are...instruments (bleargh) used... Nope. Cant be doing with that. Thanks, but no thanks.
5. Heartbreak. I think this one is pretty self explanatory.
4. Panic Attacks and Depression. I've beat Panics, and still have struggles with depression, but I'm terrified of them creeping back up on me again.
3. Moths. This one is a bonafide PHOBIA. I f**king hate them. I cannot even cope with that bit in The Silence of The Lambs... *shivers*
2. Being Murdered/Raped/Kidnapped. I've read books about Josef Fritzl, about murder cases and the whole kit'n'caboodle, and I am terrified of being the victim of anything like that. Even being mugged is a fear.
1. Growing Up. I'm 21 years of age, have been standing on my own two feet since I finished school, don't rely on my parents for money or anything of the sort and yet, the concept of being an actual grown up adult person scares me witless.
What do you make of my fears?
Tomorrow, 7 Wants!

10 Day Challenge: Day 2: 9 Loves
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
Happy Thursday, guys! Here are 9 things I love for your reading pleasure.
9. My Phone. I really didn't expect my beloved iPhone 4s to survive living with me for almost 2 years, but it's still going despite being dropped quite a few times.
8. Mugs. I have quite a large collection of mugs, for someone who doesn't have a reason to own so many. Band mugs, Doctor Who mugs, Slogan mugs, you name it! I love them.
7. My Bed. I am lucky enough to have a double bed with a memory foam mattress. It's the best bed in the world, by far.
6. Cats. We have 3 cats in my house, and I refer to them as the Fluffy Bitches. They are lazy as hell but the house would not be the same without them.
5. Ville Valo. The man is my savior in many ways. His words, his music gave me hope and still comforts me to this day. When I heard he had fallen off the wagon and started drinking again I was heartbroken.
4. Anything Doctor Who Related. Doctor Who is an absolutely amazing show and it has made me so happy, as well as breaking my little heart at times. You never forget your first Doctor.
3. Chris. He knows this, you know this. The boy is a trooper and I am so lucky and blessed to have a good, fiercely loyal, loving little sod like him in my life. :D
2. Doc Martens. The best shoes I have ever bought, they still look like new after nearly 6 months. Quality.
1. My Childhood Bear, Mr Bear. Also know as "The Fuzz" and "The Legendary Bear", this little guy has been with me since I was 1 day old. He's been lost in Quinnsworth, been stolen by a dog, and he still comes to Dundalk with me when I go. He's been to Stoke Mandeville, Wales, Cork and god knows where else he'll go in my life.
There you have it, 9 Loves.
Tomorrow, 8 Fears.

The 10 Day Challenge; Day 1: 10 Secrets
Hey all! So I have decided to do a 10 Day Challenge here, and I'm hoping you will join me on this journey. I spotted this on A Bullet To The Head, the blog of the ever lovely Hannah. I decided to give it a whirl as it look fun and different to the usual stuff I do. So, without further ado, here we go.
Oh, and just so I don't confuse anyone, I'm going in backwards order, from 10 to 1.
Here are the daily challenges:
#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.
Ten Secrets...
1. I don't believe in holding grudges with people, but I do get very angry and can be mad at someone for days. Once I forgive, I forget about it though. Life is too short to waste your time and energy being mad at someone for a long time.
2. I'm what you might call a total Oxymoron in life. I love socializing and being with my friends but I would just as happily stay in my room alone for days on end and interact with nobody. The same goes for food; I love food, hell I'm studying it in college but I don't eat like everyone else, I eat when I'm hungry and I can push a plate away even when I'm not full.
3. I cannot sleep in an untidy room. It's one of my less attractive qualities, as I will clean Chris's room for him when I stay over and then he gives out that he can't find anything. I also have been known to stay up all night and clean my room. It's a sickness!
4. Charity shops are one of my ultimate weaknesses. I love rummaging through secondhand and charity shops for bargains. Most of the time I just buy books, but I have a few tops and jeans that I get compliments on all the time, which have been pre-loved.
5. I'm a worrier over the stupidest of things, yet when it comes to important things like my driving test, college exams and stuff of that nature, I don't know how to worry. I prepare to the best of my ability and then let the rest happen naturally.
6. When people ask me what my favorite movie is, I just say the first thing that pops into my head and it generally isn't my favorite because I find it so hard to pick just one. Dirty Dancing, Mean Girls, Resident Evil, The Social Network, Bridesmaids, Hedwig and The Angry Inch, all the Harry Potters, the old Clash of The Titans, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Nowhere Boy, 28 Days Later, Brokeback Mountain, The Boat That Rocked, they're all up there. My go-to answer is usually the LOTR Trilogy though, because of my LOTR tattoo.
7. If I could, I'd have two full sleeves and my chest tattooed, my tongue and lip pierced, and my ears stretched. That would make me so happy!
8. I alphabetize all my DVD's out of some effed up need to be totally anal all the time! I did try to do it with my books but I couldn't. It wasn't the same.
9. My favorite way to escape is by heading to a cafe, with a book and just drinking tea for hours on end while I read.
10. Once there's a good beat, I'll dance away like there's no tomorrow. It doesn't matter if its cheesy 80's pop or something from the charts, I'll go for it, hell for leather!
So there are my 10 "Secrets".
Tomorrow, I'll be sharing 9 Things I Love.
