Get To Know Us

  Well hello there, dear reader, and may I ask how you are feeling this day? (Rhetorical questions are always a good place to start, huh?) Anyway, as you may have read in our first post, this is a blog made up of three people, three very close friends who decided get a lil' creative. Now, before we actually get fully started on this, we wanted to each make a post to tell you, our reader, a bit about us.

  So, I, the one who is writing right now, am the marvellous Hayley Hannah Drummond, who comes from a distant and magical land named Scotland (corny, right?). I am 15 years of age and was born on the autumn month of October. I will be posting every Friday, talking mostly about films and music. Here is picture of me and my face:

 Blah blah blah....... Now I realise that my writing may be mind-numbingly painful to read, but I will try my best to captivate my audience as best as possible.   

  Anyway, apart from me (obviously) being in love with literature, I am also incredibly interested in art, music, and the film industry. Good movies are probably my favourite things on the planet, and I watch about four a day, so I will probably talk about them quite often. For years and years, I have always wanted to become some fabulous method actor or successful film director, or anything else movie-related. (Although how likely is it that that'll happen?) If/when that does not happen, I will either try to pursue a career in music, art, writing, or just something extraordinary. I know this is extremely cliché, especially for an 'anarchic' teenager, but I never want to follow the basic 'life template'. Y'all know what I mean: go to school - find a job - get married - buy house - reproduce - retire- grow old in a care home- die. How disgusting does that sound? If there's a thing I'll never do in life is that; instead, I believe in the unexpected. 

  So, moving swiftly away from all this "life is terrifying" business, I'll tell you some more fun facts about myself. Well, I guess most people would describe me as being very near to a psychopath (due to how I am usually prone to writing graphic, pessimistic poetry; drawing very creepy  doodles of headless people and bleeding eyes; and my huge love for all things gory, disturbing and dark). Personally I quite like this perseption, which is... kind of worrying; although personally I think I'm just a boring hippie. 

  As well as psychos, I love many many other things, some being: pianos, green tea, music, autumn, glasses, retro fashion, many many many wonderful films (which will be talked about in the future), green eyes, and A Clockwork Orange. 
  I like many authors, although my favourites are George Orwell, Irvine Welsh, Anthony Burgess, Aldous Huxley and Sylvia Plath. My favourite music artists are the likes of Radiohead, Muse, Pink Floyd, The Doors, David Bowie, and Mike Oldfield. I prefer music from, the 20th Century, which in a way is a very bad thing, one reason being that it is very unlikely or impossible that I will see these musicians live, and the other being that I will probably never be able to become a music journalist I have a strange disgust for almost all modern music. Anyway, I am also a huge fan of classical and romantic music and listen to composers such as Beethoven, Liszt, Berlioz, and Rachmaninoff. I adore films, too many to even mention, although my favourites are A Clockwork Orange, Taxi Driver, American Beauty, and Inglourious Basterds.

  Hmmm, I guess I'm done now... I don't feel like I've described myself at all! Hopefully, as the time goes on, you will get to know me more and more, and I'll  try not to be too boring for you...

Well hi. I'm Rhianwen, and firstly - it is pronounced "ree-ann-when", and yes, it's Welsh. I'm 14 years old and an Aries, currently living in glorious Wales. My hobbies include art, music, fashion, films, and reading. Although I come from a family of musicians, I was not lucky enough to inherit any musical talent, so therefore I draw and complain. I spend most of my time listening to Muse, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead, but I also love Peace, the Smiths, Swim Deep, Vampire Weekend, Blur, David Bowie and more. I hope to be an artist of some sort in the future, and although unrealistic, I can always hope. I have many interests and obsessions and I love the different cultures from different decades. I look up to musicians and actors a lot more than I should, and I'm a huge Audrey Hepburn and Andy Warhol enthusiast.

 I'd like to think I'm fairly optimistic, and I hope my future posts will benefit you or entertain you in some way or other. Thank you...





hello I'm Tilly. I'm fifteen and I love the Manic Street Preachers a lot. Other cool bands are The Libertines, The Smiths, Pulp, Blur, Drenge and Palma Violets. Rizzle Kicks make me dance. I want to look like Winona Ryder and Simon Amstell is genuinely my favourite person on the planet. I like all kinds of literature, and I have an interest in philosophy and politics. Sylvia Plath, Albert Camus, Dostoyevsky and Orwell are my favourite writers and my favourite book is probably Down and Out in Paris and London. The Suffragettes and Pussy Riot are very important x (and Richey's alive)
