Evening citizens of Middle Earth.
Gi Suilon!
Those of you who do read my blog or did 6 months ago when I posted regularly will most likely know that each post and title is based off of a particular fandom/quote/subject of interest. For instance 'Amatulya', my first post is elvish for 'welcome' and 'Start of something new' is the name of a high school musical song. Although you may have know this, what I haven't told you is the meanings behind my post beginnings and sign offs. I will now relay that information for hose intrigued!
Middle Earth as any literary fan will know, regardless of their person interests, is the name of the mythical world JRR Tolkien created for his infamous trilogy 'Lord of the Rings'. This being one of my oldest obsessions means that the next line, 'Gi Suilon' is translated to 'I greet you' from Sindarin which is a dialect of Elvish.
My sign off comes again from elvish (the Quenya dialect however instead of the Sindarin) and a classic quote from one of my favourite TV shows 'The 100'. 'Tenna enta lúmë' directly translates 'until that time'.
Hope this was interesting or at least educating (on how much of a Tolkien geek I truly am) for you reading and I will see you next week. Perhaps I will do a post regarding the new school year or even an august monthly favourites?! We'll see :-)
That's all until I next post so...
Tenna enta lúmë - May we meet again!

Awkward.
Evening citizens of Middle Earth.
Gi Suilon!
So the title has a double meaning this time round... First would have to be the obvious fact that my last post was in March and it's now mid-August. Kinda justifies the awkward statement. I'm posting this entry from my iPad seeing as the reason for my MIA status has been blogger refusing to love my laptop. This isn't my preferred device when it comes to blogging however which is why I haven't thought to use it before. Now I've finally decided there is no other choice, most likely I will be posting more often than once every 5 months but I guess we'll have to see won't we?!
I also haven't been able to post on my travel blog which is annoying seeing as I've been visiting a lot of cool places recently. If you want to check that out (I will hopefully be posting soon) head over to jemmagoldtravels.blogspot.com.
On to the other meaning behind the title which happens to simply be the name of a favourite TV programme of mine. Usually I'm one to go for the action/supernatural/dystopian genres but 'awkward.' fits into none of these. In fact it's a teen comedy about a 15 year old girl who basically has a messed up love life, interesting school teachers and immature parents. It's very funny, fairly relatable and great entertainment but I do understand it wouldn't be for everyone. In a way it's Glee without the singing. Typically American. I'm at the beginning of season 3 for the third time in 2015 and still don't find the content boring and am consistently invested in the characters (Team Matty btw if you've watched or are planning on watching it) so of course recommend it which is really a given if I'm mentioning it on here.
Anyway another apology for my absence is owed and thus given.
That's all until I next post so...
