SAO Obsession

Evening citizens of Middle Earth.

Gi Suilon!

Ever heard of anime or manga? Well if you haven't where have you been all your life? For those who don't know Manga is an animated Japanese cartoon book genre which you read clockwise right to left whilst Anime is the TV series version of that.

The other day my friend came round and, as it was snowing, she suggested we watch this anime series called SAO (Sword art online). I had only ever watched one anime series before called Fairy tail but I had given up on it when I got to about episode 50 or something so I didn't have high hopes for this one. However from the first episode I watched I was hooked and after the second day has passed I'd got through 20 25-30 minute episodes (shows how active my social life is).

At the beginning of the series you follow Kirito's journey as he enters the RPG (role-playing game) SAO using a nerve gear helmet. The problem however that the games master has prevented anyone from logging out so the only way the 1000 players can return to reality is if they clear all 100 floors in the game. It's extra psychotic seeing as the players die in real life if they die in the game or if someone tries to remove their helmets in reality. On Kirito's journey he finds strength, friendship and love and God how the feels destroy me.

I recommend SAO to any anime freak or someone who wants to try it out for the first time, it has a great story. My favourite episode so far was season 1 episode 10 because I think it showed a side to Kirito's character that hadn't been fully revealed before. Let's just say to avoid any spoilers that Asuna (the second main character) plays a major role in that episode.

Just one more thing, don't think that because I gave up on fairy tail I found it boring. It was quite the opposite! It's just there were 222 episodes and I didn't have the time in my life to watch them all whereas Sword art online has much smaller series. I am thinking of restarting the series so I'll probably post about that in the near future!

That's all until I next post so...

You are the most beautiful broom in a broom closet of brooms!

Today's subject I hope will be somewhat relatable. I'm going to talk about the social life destroying problem that is TV programme addiction (TVPA). The end of August last year saw me on holiday in Scotland with my best friend, lets call her Ginger. On the Monday night of our trip Ginger announced that she needed to watch this programme she'd been loving called The 100. If you've heard of it start fangirling now! At first I thought it was going to be terrible because in my opinion most of the programmes Ginger watches aren't particularly entertaining but I have never been so wrong.

The episode we watched was called Day Trip and had a moment in it where a character called Raven had to reassure someone on drugs that they were the most 'beautiful broom in a broom closet of brooms' although Ginger and I misheard and thought she'd said 'you are the most beautiful broom in a broom cupboard full of brooms'! Not that much of a difference I know but we still freaked out when we realised.

Now I'm 4 episodes in to season 2 and I'm buzzing with the exciting fact that the 100 will be returning with a third season. However the devastating news of a certain character's (#almostnotquitespoiler) death also reached me the other week which has been making me want to cry every 5 seconds which hasn't been good for my homework.

So all I really wanted to say is that I am completely and utterly in love with the 100 and I strongly recommend you watch it if you aren't already doing so. Quick fact if you're interested, the 'May we meet again' part of my sign off is quoted from the programme. Anywhat I will see you next week and don't forget to comment if you want me to write about something in particular!

Start of something new

So here I am with my next post as promised and I wanted to centre this one around a minor fangirl attack. As of earlier this evening I am officially going to Summer in the City 2015 to meet some of my favourite all time youtubers, some example of which are; Danisnotonfire, amazingphil, itswaypastmybedtime and so on. If you don't know what Sitc is, it's basically a huge youtube gathering with stage shows, panels, Q&A's and meet and greets. It happens every year in London and is the biggest UK event of its kind!

It might not seem like a big deal to most people going to a gathering like Sitc but to me it's way big because I've never been to London on my own before. Obviously I won't be alone when I go as one of my friends from my performing arts school will be coming with me but still, the idea of going to an event with hundreds of people I don't know seems kind of daunting to me.

The good thing is that before the event (August) I will be going on a trip to Oxford with my best friend for my Birthday (Next Month), which will give me a chance to get used to being in a large city without my parents. If you want to see what we get up to on my Birthday expedition thing head over to my travel blog, jemmagoldtravels.blogspot.com and whilst your there check out some of the other things I get up to!!!

If you are a devoted fangirl like myself, you may want to share this tiny corner of the online world with me. My life revolves around books, bands, musicals, youtubers and most important of all Lord of the Rings. If you aren't interested in any of these things then feel free to click away from this webpage but if you are then continue reading and you might find it's the best thing you ever decide to do in your entire existence (no I'm joking it won't be that good).

But in all seriousness if you do think you'll enjoy reading about these things then please join me every week for a new update. I'm not going to set a particular upload day because I don't want to be too predictable but I promise that some point every week there will be a new post.

That's all until I next post so...
