Acceptance speech

<a Lots of thanks and kisses to my blogging buddies Conchsaladesque and Megan @ Maggie Maes days for passing me a Versatile blogger award! Please pop over to their blogs and check them out!

I have received this award before but I’m not about to refuse glory so I accept the challenge of writing more facts about myself. Actually, I think I’ve exhausted most of my facts (I’m really not that interesting) so I’ll use the seven numbers to discuss seven of my favourite films. Here we go!

1. Favourite childhood film:

I love all the Back to the Future trilogy but the first film is the best in my book. The films sum up my 80′s childhood and they are cracking adventure stories and who doesn’t want a time travelling car right?!

2. Favourite romantic comedy:

For some reason I never get tired of watching this film, it’s just a cute film – yes predictable but cozy and familiar, something to curl up and watch when I want to relax and smile.

3. Favourite weepy:

This film is based on a Nicholas Sparks book (I also love the adaptations of The Notebook and The Last Song) and his stuff is usually guaranteed to make you cry. This is completely corny but I fall for the love story between bad boy Landon and Christian good girl Jamie every time. The last scenes are really moving but it has an uplifting feel to it.

4. Favourite book to film adaptation:

When I read Twilight no one in the UK had really heard about it and I stumbled on an article about the film adaptation and was surprised there would be a film. Then the books exploded and the film became a huge hit and rightly so – it’s a rare adaptation that not only captures the essence of the book but actually improves some of it. The relationship between Edward and Bella in the book sometimes ventures into father / child relationship territory but the film made the relationship seem more equal and believable.

5. Favourite film series:

I love the Harry Potter series – each film gets better and better and captures the tone if not all the detail of the amazing books. It’s great to see so many talents in the British film industry take part and I think everyone involved can be really proud about what they achieved.

6. Favourite teen flick:

I was obsessed with Clueless when I was a teenager, it’s a fun film and I would kill for a Cher sixed wardrobe and computer programmed outfit choices. I could probably quote this film line by line!

7. Favourite Christmas film:

I love Christmas and that means I love Christmas themed films and this is one of the best (closely followed by Muppet Christmas carol), filled with laughs and love all with a festive glow, it makes me feel ready for the season.

Sweet

Happy Friday everyone! The sun is out here and the weekend is on its way yay!

Another reason to be cheerful is I have recieved a blogging award from the lovely Maggie over at
http://maasmith7.wordpress.com/
 . Thanks Maggie!

The rules of this award are as follows:

1. Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
2. Share seven random facts about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 deserving blog buddies.
4. Contact those buddies to congratulate them.

Okay here’s my facts:

1. My mum is a hairdresser and has always done my hair. I have had every cut, colour and style possible – red, brown, black, blonde; short, bobbed, long etc. I’m naturally dark but am going grey! Take a look at some of them below …

 

 

 

The downside is I never know what suits me the best :)

2. I have an addiction to Guess. I don’t really buy labels as such but there’s something about them that sucks me in – I only have four bags, a purse and my glasses. Yes I have to wear glasses for distance, sigh :(

3.  When I was a teenager, I always wore heels but after working in London for a while I switched to flats and now I live in them. I have a pretty large variety of ballet pumps and brogues.

4. I don’t do much exercise. I’ve never really been into sport and the only one I’m actually good at is ice skating, which is pretty limited. I joined a gym a couple of years ago but found it really hard to go due to work and gave it up. I brought an exercise DVD and only did it once oops :)

5. My star sign is Pisces and I tend to fit the personality profile for it – imaginative, sensitive, romantic, lover of luxury, a dreamer and indecisive. Famous Pisces include Elizabeth Taylor, Jon Bon Jovi, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Caine , Neville Chamberlain, Albert Einstein, Cindy Crawford and Drew Barrymore.

6. I drive a black Ford Fiesta - I brought it on the same day as my mum who also brought a black Fiesta. It looks like we won a prize or something :)

7. I cry easily at sad movies, even if they’re really cheesy, some of my fave weepies are: A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Beaches and Charlie St Cloud. I also cry at family reunion shows and most death scenes on TV!

Instead of listing 15 blogs to pass the award on to, I shall point you over to my new blogroll on the right hand side where I list my fave blogs. Please head over and check them out!

I hope you enjoyed finding out some more random facts about me :)
