Christmas Wish List

I've been having a sort out of my life recently and get out of my comfort zone, in terms of fashion.  I've been trying out different things that look nice and compliment my body type. One thing I have found that has fit this criteria is skater dresses for my formal events. These dresses are also great because they can be for any occasion really, throw on some converse and you've got yourself a casual outfit.

I would also love to receive some different colour skater skirts as I only currently own one black one. The good things with these skirts, just like skater dresses, is that they can be casual by day and then formal/classy by night. If I'm honest with you, wearing skater skirts makes me feel very 'Tumblr'. 

Sticking on the subject of changing my style and finding clothes I feel comfortable in; my next item is skinny jeans. I was put off wearing skinny jeans and jeans for a long time because of something I got told when I was younger. I was told that I was too fat to wear them and things along them lines and that has  always stuck in my mind, and I did honestly believe it myself. But recently, I've had much more body confidence meaning I wanted to try out skinny jeans and god do I love them! They're cooler than leggings but not as 'girly' as skirts, just a nice inbetween. 

Just quickly on the subject of clothes still, I think jumpers look so so so cute and are a great winter look.

Moving on to the expensive section of the list (disclaimer: these are just things i would like to receive not things I am) is something I have seen quite a lot of people have, and that is a Polaroid camera.

I think my love of Polaroid cameras started on my birthday when my auntie gave me a Polaroid of me and my best friend, which I thought was just so cute. Since then I have gain another one of myself and Vicki cosplaying as the Mario Bros, I have also ordered a few Polaroids from an app called Poligram, in which you can order you Instagram photos as Polaroids. I would really love to get my own camera so I can stop ordering them and asking people for them so I can take my own!

This next bit is probably the most obvious thing in my wish list since I do call myself "That Obsessed British Fangirl" and that thing is merchandise. By merchandise I don't mean just one person, I literally mean any YouTuber/band/singer I love, weather it is: shirts, or wristbands, or jumpers, or literally anything I will love it and I will love you even more for getting it me. For my last birthday my friend gave me the JLS tour DVD and I screamed at her with excitement and that isn't me exaggerating the story, I actually screamed. So if you know a fangirl, getting them merch is always a safe bet as they will exploded with feels.

And finally the thing I have wanted for years, the thing I hope will replace my crappy BlackBerry Bold 9900 that I currently own, an IPhone 5C! I've never actually owned a IPhone before I have always had Nokias and BlackBerrys. My current phone can hardly send texts and receive calls never mind do anything on the internet or anything it's supposed to do. I do own an IPod 4th Gen and an IPad 2 and they just run so smooth so I know getting an IPhone a good decision. Do you know how hard it is being a full time internet hobo and not be able to use to internet outside your home, not being able to show you non-existent social life on snapchat, not being able to put pictures of your StarBucks coffee on Instagram, not being able to read gay smut in public, not being able to stalk the bae all the time, it is truly a difficult life. Also my BlackBerry doesn't have a front camera for my selfie game, can you hear my heart breaking?

Doctor Who: The Doctor is Dying

Dear Doctor Who writers,

For the love of God, please stop making your episodes/series plot twists that the Doctor is dying!

This has happened with every single Doctor in new Who, apart from nine.

(my knowledge only ranges from a few Classic Who episodes but I am new Who af)

It started off with David Tennant's Doc, he is dying, knock four times, the Master. Okay, fine, that was the first time very dramatic, no big deal. It then happened again with Matt Smith's Doctor. In the entire sixth season, he is trying to escape death. Along with lots of confusing plot twists including the identity of River Song. Fast forward to present day and series nine of Who, where it seems in every episode, so far, the doctor is dying.

Episode one of season nine: confessional dial! Surprise!! The Doctor thinks he is going to die.
Episode two: The Doctor is trapped with the Davros and the Darleks, is he going to die!? Obviously not.
Episode three: The Doctor is a ghost!! How does he die?!?!

Episode four: How will the Doctor escape death, again?! 

Please stop recycling this predictable plot twist. Anyone with a brain is aware that the Doctor, the main character of Doctor Who, is not going to die. Especially at the start of the new season. 

This being said, Doctor Who is still a fantastic show and a British treasure. It can be predictable but hopefully that's nothing a new show writer can't shake up. 

My Name

I think it's about time I sit down with a cup of tea and tell you how the very British girl got her very usual and foreign name.

If you didn't know, my name is Jonna and is pronounced as Yon-nah. My name is Finnish (can also be Danish or Swedish), explaining why the j is pronounced as a Y, and for some reason, my parents didn't want to translate my name into English, the language that we and our country speak.

The reason behind my name

This is a story told to me by my dear mother. My mum's name is Julie, a very common name. Growing up my mum had at least four Julies in her class and everywhere she went she would meet a Julie. So my mother wanted her child to have a very usual and very uncommon name so they wouldn't have to go through what she went through. My mum found the name through a woman she had met and befriended while travelling, her name was Jonna and she was a fair-haired, nice girl from Finland. My parents always liked the name and decided that is what they would call me. I'm sorry there's not a more exciting reason behind my name, I'm just a plain old common white girl trash from a very northern, very British family.

Although I do moan about my name quite a lot and make jokes and although it does make this awkward person even more awkward, I do quite like my name. I've never wanted to change it, not even the spelling. I don't know if it's my name or the type of person I am, not many people tend to forget my name. Many people will spell it wrong and may pronounce it wrong at the start, but they never forget it and I like that. 

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed a look behind my name.

High School Musical

Do you remember that Disney film that came out in 2006? The one with the teenagers running around high school sing? Well, of course you do. Even if you're apart of the few people that have never seen High School Musical, you most likely have heard of it and have probably listened to one of the many songs from it. Today I am going to be finding out and sharing with you, is HSM really that good?

First things first, who and what is it about?

High School Musical is set in a very stereotypical American high school called East High in New Mexico. It revolves around a big group of teenagers who go to this school but the main six characters are: head of the basketball team, Troy Bolton who becomes very close to new girl, brainiac Gabriella Montez. You also have Troy's best friend and fellow team mate Chad Danforth who takes a shine the school's smart girl and Gabriella's new friend, Taylor McKessie. Last but certainly not least, the head of the drama club Sharpay Evans and her twin brother Ryan Evans. 

The Audience 

High School Musical was clearly based at a younger audience but from what I have found out pretty much anyone can enjoy it! Anyone can enjoy this film from a child to a teenager and even some adults. I think I am a perfect example of this, as from the moment I first saw this film when I was 6 years old I have loved and continue to love this film. I have watched this film countless times and I am still yet to be bored of it and I have noticed that I enjoy the songs now even more than indidnwhen I was younger. To move on to someone else so it's not just my biased opinion, my mother. I have sat down with my mum some many times to watch this films and she enjoys just as much as me. She loves the characters, the plot, the songs and even now still enjoys listening and singing to Breaking Free. 

Overall 

I think the idea for HSM is so simple, yet so brilliant. It has taken features out from lots of different films and put it into one film that is suitable for children and all ages. All the actors fit sir characters

perfectly, the fashion is amazing and the songs are amazingly written. I think High School Musical is a film that will go down in history and if you haven't seen it yet, I 100% recommend it. But I do think the main reason that our generation loves this film so much is because we had the privilege to grow up with HSM 1,2 and 3. We have had the chance to go back and watch this film from different points in ours lives and each time having different understanding, viewpoints and appreciation of it. Not only did we grow with High School Musical, it grew with us with every film and that is what makes it so amazing and unique.
