Lollie's brain - March, Twitter and All That Glitters

Hello Internet people - it's March... WHAT

How is it possibly 3 months into this year already? How is that even possible? I want my 3 months back thanks...

You know what, to start this off - don't drink alcohol. Okay just in general... Random thought but just don't and to quote Elizabeth Swan (about rum...) 'It's a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels'

To start with - it was World Book Day yesterday. I read Geek drama and All The Glitters from the Geek Girl series by Holly Smale.
I have been waiting for All That Glitters for a long time now. I'd say at least 9 months... I think. Anyway, my point is - it was totally worth the wait. So whilst reading the book, my thought track went kind of something like this:

- okay, lets do this
- yes Harriet's in there with a bit of self-diagnosing again
- 10,000 chocolate bars!!!! that's a lot of chocolate... Maya's probably eaten that many galaxy bars this week... she's addicted!
- OMG I can't wait to see Toby and Nat and find out about Nick
- Oh Harriet...
- Oh no...
- I feel you girl... books are an escape
-TOBYISBUILDINGATIMEMACHINE
- Not just any time machine - a TARDIS
- Where can I get a Toby and when can he build me one
- I can so relate to this
- No
- Nonononononononononono
-NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO
- Cheeky mention of Taylor Swift, Smale - I see you
- oh Harriet...
- who is this boy and why do I like him even though he's arrogant and hates Harriet - oh my god he has beautiful eyes
- what
- urgh
- I actually love this book beyond comprehension
- everythings going great
- Nat! No
- oh no...
- Urgh Jasper... but omg Jasper but urgh...
- yay party
- Oh...
- Nothing goes right
- Tobes please go back to stalking Harriet, I liked that...
- Awwwwwwwwwwwwww
- oh...
- it's over,,,, well I guess I better read it again.

Yup, that's how my brain works when reading a book and as you can tell, I am quite emotionally attached to Toby and Harriet because I feel as though I can relate to them both. Next Friday, we have to wear something Red to sixth form for Red Nose Day so I'm wearing my Geek Girl: All That Glitters glasses! I am very excited.

Oh, another thing... I had a hair cut. Its now just below my shoulders and I love it. I have a track record for absolutely despising my hair whenever it gets cut but this time - It's wonderful, glorious in fact. I look so much more like Clara and I am extremely happy about that.

I am also in the process of getting very excited for Comic Con, despite the fact it being two months away. I feel like I've come up with this genius idea of 'Budget Cosplay', where you attempt to find alternative clothing from cheap high street stores or from charity and thrift shop, thus meaning it is less expensive for you. This way, I want to be able to prove that you don't need to spend heaps and heaps of money to be  successful cosplayer. Also, I don't think I'd ever enter any competitions, I think it would just be for the pure enjoyment of Conventions and being that character.
So far I have attempted the 11th Doctor, Clara and Osgood at home - I am possibly being the 11th Doctor and Clara for Comic con in May!

I should probably be excited also, about my trip to Cyprus in Easter. I'm flying on my own for the very first time which could be fun - we'll see. I fly the day after I post my March favourites and I will be working over there and seeing my dad (earning money to buy my Missy - Doctor Who - cosplay for October Comic Con) which will be a lot of fun!

At the moment, I am attempting to widen my vocabulary. Although it may not seem evident from this post, all the other Sweethearts have noticed it at school. Bri commented on my use of the word Hedonistic today. I think I'm going to do word of the week.

Word of the week: Egotistical - adjective: excessively conceited or absorbed in oneself; self-centered. Other synonyms: selfish, egocentric, narcissistic, conceited and vain.

Another thing - my room is covered in post-it notes for Travel and Tourism revision and I got my first ever C+ in a Psychology essay!

I think I shall end this post on that note. I'm sorry it hasn't been incredibly informative as to anything but my life at the moment but hey ho, it's my post :)

I shall see you all next week will something that will hopefully be more planned and engaging than this!

Until Next Time - Allons-y!

Doctor Who Series 9 Reports (SPOILERS!) - Lollie

Hey guys, It's me Lollie being a nerd once again!

So it's been half term and if I'm honest - I haven't done a lot apart from spend a lot of money, eat too much food, binge-watch Doctor Who and tweet constantly... Woah - my life sucks. 

Well it doesn't suck fully because A) I learnt how to cook and flip pancakes successfully and B) there have been so many beautiful film set reports of series 9 of Doctor Who and so many beautiful spoilers and fan theories ^_^

So, I'm just gunna round them all up for an of you Whovians who have missed something.

SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ MANY POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Jenna is staying for all of series 9... Or is she?

As far as we've been told, Jenna Coleman is staying on as Clara Oswald as companion for the entire series 9. I saw something on Twitter earlier that indicated that Jenna was in fact attending Emerald City Comic Con in Washington - this mean that she either has a break from filming for a while, or that she is in fact not completing the full series 9 as companion. This is just my opinion but I think that she's probably staying for the whole series.

The new series will return in autumn 2015

Okay, this one - I have a bone to pick... Whatever happened to series starting in April? 'Rose' (the first episode of New Who, Series 1) back in 2005, was aired on March 26th and The Eleventh Hour (first episode of Series 5) was aired April 3rd 2010. I do know why the series started airing again in September time but I kinda wish they started a little earlier in the year. 

Series 9 will probably air around August 23rd ish as that's what it was last year I think. 

BBC released a teaser picture of us! But wait... Is that a Dalek?!

So the first thing about this picture is the red dots on the map - what are they for? Why are they all over Canda? What episode are they in? I think this is filming for block 2 of the series which does include Episode 1 and 2.

Then, when you think all is well - Bam! There's something that looks like a Dalek. I had to do a double take of this picture because I'm not sure about this one. Yes it a a blue light but it's hard to make out any other features. Unless it is some hybrid Dalek of some sort i don't know whether we can assume that it is a Dalek for now.

Episode 1+2 names have been revealed and there are a two parter! Along with episode 3+4 which is also a two parter!

Episode one is called 'The Magicians Apprentice' and Epsiode two is called 'The Witches Familiar', they are a two-parter. Episode 3+4 are two-parters also that have been written by Toby Whithouse who wrote Epsiode such as 'Vampires of Venice' and 'The God complex'.

Guess who's back, back again - Missy, Kate and UNIT

Yes! That's right! Just yesterday the BBC confirmed that Michelle Gomez will be rejoining the cast in Episodes 1+2 as the evil and malevolent Missy! It was also confirmed that Jemma Redgrave will be back playing Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, which also means the return of UNIT. Sadly, we had confirmation from the MOFF that Osgood was dead - however, never trust Steven Moffat! 

Also, Clare Higgins who played one of the potion lady of the sisterhood of Karn in 'The Night of The Doctor' is re-appearing. This has lead to a fan theory that I would love to be true, however, I doubt that it is.

This would explain how John Simm's Master, regenerated in Michelle Gomez' Missy, however, I don't know whether John would be willing to return due to his recent bad experiences with over-bearing fans on Twitter. I would love it to be true and I would love to know how she managed to gain another regenaration when she has used them all up.

Has Missy had a bump in with Captain Jack or River because 'oh look, what's that in you pocket?' Sorry, on your wrist...

Michelle Gomez was in a video posted by the BBC yesterday saying how she was happy to be back on set and back being Missy. As she filmed the video, she was in her costume and on her wrist - Is a vortex manipulator! 

Is this what she used to escape her fate of being shot by a Cyberman? And is she being chased by UNIT for it back as The Vortex Manipulator is under UNIT protection. Also will we ever find out where Missy's TARDIS is? And does she really know where Gallifrey is?

Filming locations include Caerphilly Castle and MOD Caerwent

The first shots of the set and filming were of MOD Caerwent - this is persumably being used as some type of Russian base to do with UNIT for the first 2 two-parter episodes. There were some rumours speculating about two TARDIS' being taken to the set...

Jenna, Jemma and the TARDIS were spotted also at Caerphilly Castle. 

'Son-ta-huh?' 

If you don't pay attention to this photo very carefully, it just looks like Peter and a fan of the show who happened to be doing his training the day of filming but... Then you look at the shadow on Peter's coat - is that the familiar shape of a Sontarans head? Could it be Strax? Could this mean the potentially return of The Pasternoster Gang? (Please let them return, oh please). 

This was taken at the filming at MOD Caerwent and is part of the first two parter (episodes 1+2) meaning it's from the same Epsiodes as the picture with the a possible Dalek in the background - ooohhhhh! That could get interesting - Sonatarns and Dalek, oh my ...

Coal Hill is back

Jenna was spotted this half term, staring at the sky out of one of the windows at Tonyrefrial school, along with her motorbike spotted in the grounds.

Clara's a... MAN???

Jenna's stunt man (yes man) was spotted filming just today in Wales on the motorbike. 

He was wearing a green and white skirt and black high heeled boots - these are the same things Jenna was wearing at Caerphilly Castle so that means they are both in Episodes 1+2. 

Everything was filmed from up here - hense so they could use the stunt double 

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No one knows because Moffat's a poop head.

Basically today, at the filming of the motorbike scene, two children are standing by the road and they are looking up at the sky. People who were on location said they were told to look at a 'frozen plane' in the sky. Clara goes past on the motorbike, unfazed by the whole thing.

'Doctor... We're in... Spain?' 

A member of the film crew tweet a while back and confirmed that they were on set in Spain - apparently they filmed two Epsiodes. The episodes filmed in Spain could quite possibly be Toby Whithouses 'creepy thrilling' two parter for Epsiodes 3+4.

Don't blink... She's back

The woman who directed the award-winning episode 'Blink' is back and is set to direct Block 2 of the Series 9 filming - this includes the first two-parter.

Oh my what in the name of sanity is this rumour? 

Alex Kingston might be returning as River Song.

I say might because there have been two thing that suggest it - 1. Alex herself said she looked forward to sharing more of River's story with the fans 2- she said that Doctor Who don't have more money for series 9 because 'you should see her trailer' 

What do you think? Do you want River to return? How would she get on with 12?

Well, lovelies! That was this weeks instalment of Lollie!

I hope you enjoyed this, if you didn't - i well, I enjoyed writing it! I'll keep you posted on our Twitter (@the7sweethearts go follow us - shameless self-promotion right there) of further developments and filming  locations etc... If I can...

Until next time, Allons-y!

(Credit to all the lovely Whovians on the dwsr hashtag on Twitter who post these pictures, thank you to Wales Online for the stunt man pictures and to Whovian Animo users for the Missy discovery and also thank you to the Who News app and supermoff from DoctorWhoTV for supplying the lovely theory of The Master's Regeneration story) 

Lollie's brain - What year is this?

*Materialises in the corner of an estate in London* What year is this?
Sorry, stupid me... It's 2015, I have a feeling I'm going to have a really great year.
But hang on, where are my flying cars! Where's my time travel and teleportation! I was promised, time travel, I specifically remember time travel being mentioned...

Anyway, let's get the boring bit out of the way:

New Year's Resolutions
- Try to get to sleep earlier when possible
- Loose weight gradually and exercise more
- Learn a new word every week and use it as much as humanly possible
- Spend my days with people who accept me as I am, flaws and all

Also some ground rules for 2015

Rule 1 - The Doctor Lies - Well you know, Doctor Who trailers lie and so does Steven Moffat
Rule 7 - Never Run When You're Scared - face up to your fears and if something seems scary, give it a go, it might seem daunting but  it'll be worth it if you don't run away.
Rule 27 - Never Knowingly Be Serious - Don't be serious all the time! Smile and have fun! It's good to let it all go and relax sometimes 
Rule 400 (I am very keen on rule 400) -You Should Always Waste Time When You Don't Have Any - when you don't have any time, it's so easy to do other things. Make sure you focus you're time well, however, remember to spend your time on good things and not just stress and work, take a step back and waste so time on YOU
Rule 408 - Time Is Not The Boss Of You - Don't let your life be run by schedules and deadlines, it can also be snowballs and fun times. You get done what YOU need to get done, Time does not define you. 

I  have a feeling that I'm going to become incredibly stressed within the next five months due to A Levels but do not fear, I will post once a week without fail, promise... Oh dear, It's already the second day of the year and I'm making promises already.

A thing I have been loving so far in this year is McBusted's album. It just puts me in such a good mood, in fact, I'm listening too it right now. There's only one or two down beat songs on there which I think helps put me in a better mood, it just makes me just want to get up and dance and air guitar and jump around.

I've been reading a book by Jacqueline Wilson called Opal Plumstead. I haven't read one of her books in a long time, however, I got this one for Christmas and it's really good. Ash originally got my into Jacqueline Wilson's books back in primary school and we both used to read them all the time. I know for a fact that Ash's favourite one is called The Diamond Girls, one that I haven't actually read. I think my favourite was possibly My Sister Jodie even though it was sad and I did like The Lottie Project, Vicky Angel and The Hetty Feather Trilogy.
Opal Plumstead is really good so far and my favourite character is Opal's sister, Cassie. I think she is very pretty and she has a certain liking for a man called David and her infatuation resemble that of mine towards certain celebrities...

For 2015, I have started a notebook. Each page is numbered 1-365 and numbered in chapters 1-12. Every day, I write one page about that day and I write a quote. I really do hope I keep it up otherwise it will be a bit of a fail.

Sadly, sods law, after Christmas, I have found a lot of things from eBay that I need/want for either cosplay or for my general amusement. I don't have enough to cover the expense of all these things and I cannot ask for them as it's just passed Christmas and my birthday isn't for another 8 months. So, instead, I just sit and stare at the on eBay and I watch the items even though I have no money to get them - I really need a job.
I'm also saving up to pay for my comic con ticket for May which I am very excited about. I'm hoping to go to all three days of the event as long as Ash, Bri, Belle and Payton are too. I have way to many cosplay ideas to just go on one day. My mind (and my pintrest for that matter) are full to the brim with ideas and characters that I could play but my bank account and lack of sewing skills say otherwise.

Wow, you've just had an insight into my brain for the first time. How'd it feel? Strange yup... I know me too, I have to deal with it every day.
Oh dear, I haven't sacred you off have I?
Well, Happy New Year, I hope you have a great year, remember: don't wander off, don't blink, don't think, don't turn around, don't be lasagne, don't answer the phone, don't forget and don't get lost in a state of temperoral flux...

Until next time, Allons-y Earthlings!

It's Christmas Eve Oh God (Hobbit spoilers ahead) - Wednesday's Child

Greetings Y'all!

And I should probably also say Merry Christmas Eve too. What are you guys exited for? Personally I'm exited for my eight season box set of House MD, which I've been waiting patiently for for about two months now. I'm also getting converse, but when it's a toss up between shoes and watching eight seasons of this, I'm totally picking the TV show. (There's also a super cute Australian doctor but we'll move past that.)

So, what have you been up to in the past week? Get up to anything interesting? Why am I asking questions? This isn't a conversation this is a blog post??

Anyway, I'm gonna tell you what I've gotten up to in the past week. And lemme tell you something, friend... It's been heartbreaking. 

Let's do a timeskip from my Wednesday post to Friday, shall we? Let's do a timeskip all the way to when I watched the line of Durin literally get wiped out in the Battle of the Five Armies. Let's talk about the fact that they all deserved so much better dammit. 

Alright, to begin my rant, let's talk about this little angel. Fili was the first of Durin's line to die, as he was killed by Azgog. Now this is the first little thing I have a problem with. Personally, as someone who is yet to read the book (it's on my New Years list, don't worry) Fili's death wasn't too bad. Used as an example by Azgog and a way of enraging both Thorin and Kili to fight hand to hand, Fili's death was heartbreaking. But after a little bit of thought on it, if Fili wasn't going to be given more than five minutes screentime before this point, he should have at least been given a more prominent role in his death. 

When Azgog tosses him down in front of Kili to see, there's no mourning. Kili just draws his sword and rushes up the stairs like the adorable Dwarf/puppy he is, before promptly slashing his way through Orcs and meeting his own demise (more on that later.)

Does Fili not deserve any mourning? As the older brother, and the heir to the throne should Thorin die, should he not have had some form of mourning? I would have expected Kili to be shocked, maybe go to his brother and... Gee, I don't know, cry perhaps?? Instead he charged off to fight, and ended up getting stabbed in the chest. 

Now, next we move on to my adorable Dwarf/puppy. I literally thought I was going to cry at his death, except I have a little problem with it. Tauriel. 

Now don't get me wrong. Tauriel (who I'm going to name my awesome Elven princess) kicks ass. I love her by default as I've been a fan of Evangeline Lilly's for a long time, but I think the romance between her and Kili was a little overplayed. Kili entered his final fight against the Orcs fighting to avenge his brother, but he ended it by rushing to Tauriel's (a woman he'd known for less than a week by now) defense. The way I saw it, he died for Tauriel, and not for Fili. Now for me, that was wrong. Fili was his brother, and as much as he might have thought he loved Tauriel, he'd spoken to her maybe twice (one time she made a dick joke and the second time she saved his life so I think they're basically even). And up until this point, I had been so on board with the Kili/Tauriel romance. Just... In the midst of it I felt like the scene lost the point of why Kili had rushed into that fight to begin with. 

I will now redirect you to this little angel his brother.

Okay, long rant short, the Hobbit actually broke my soul. The line of Durin deserved so much better.

So that's me done for this week (BOTFA has basically been the only thing on my mind since Friday), and I'll see you next week. Stay safe this holiday, Merry Christmas, and remember:

I'm with you 'till the end of the line, folks ♥

Getting to know your Saturday blogger -Payton

Hey!

I'm Payton and I will be your Saturday blogger, which I think is pretty sweet if you ask me as I think that Saturday is the best day of the week! Especially this Saturdays as it is the first official full day of the school holidays! I am your usual teenage girl into makeup, hair and fashion although what will surprise you is the other things that you wouldn't expect me to be interested in which I will tell you later on.

So let's get into a little bit about me, I won't tell you too much as you can learn about me more through my upcoming posts. So you know my name, Payton and thats pretty much it, so let's fill you in on my vital statistics. I am 17 years old and I live in the best place in the world, England! along with the other Sweethearts of this blog. I am an only child which has its benefits and drawbacks but I think that its pretty cool because I have a pretty sweet mum and dad. Your probably thinking that I live in a super cute little house, well your kind of wrong with that, I don't just share the house with my mum and dad but i share it with 6 cats, you are probably thinking wow that's a lot, and I know it is especially when we are all crowded in the same room!
On with more about me, let me get the boring part of my life out of the way, school, I am currently doing my first year of my A Levels and I am taking 3 subjects, ICT, Psychology and Maths. They seem like a weird combination of subjects to many but strangely i enjoy them all, although they can be tough.

Now onto the exciting stuff! I am a complete fangirl like many of the other Sweethearts, I enjoy some of the same things that they fangirl over but some other things that I like they look at me confused when i start talking about them! I absolutely love all things American! (some of these things will probably be topics for some of my other posts) I am in love with many reality TV shows, Dance Moms, Cake Boss, Rich Kids just to name a few. Also I am addicted to YouTube, and there are so many people on there that I watch.

Okay my favorite color is Pink, my favorite bands would be either The Saturdays, Fifth Harmony or We The Kings to name a few and my newest obsession would have to be with Carrie Underwood; my favorite TV shows would either be Dr Who, some reality TV show like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders or any TV show that just suits my personality really.

You may think that I have so much going on in my life. with all of my interests but, this is just the start of getting to know me, I mean you will learn that I am a huge procrastinator so anything that I do on a daily basis is a huge accomplishment for me!
Every Saturday expect anything from me from random vents about life to reviews to tips and advice and much more!

See you next Saturday!

Payton <3

The life of Lollie - your Friday blogger

Hello everyone!

I'm Lollie and welcome to The Seven Sweethearts blog. By now, you will have had 5 people talking to you about what this blog is about... but just in case you still don't get it - we are The Seven Sweethearts and we will be posting a blog post each day full of thoughts, advice, reviews and much more about our day-to-day lives. I'll be posting to you all on Fridays which is good because Fridays, happen to be my favourite day of the week.

This Friday happens to be very good because we have now finished sixth form for Christmas! Yes, for us 7 it is officially the Christmas holidays and as always, I plan on sleeping, eating and having some Christmas fun with my family... Oh wait, hang on - I do A-Levels now. No break from work for me.

I take four subjects at A-Level: Performing Arts, Travel&Tourism, Business and Psychology and all of them are A LOT of work, they take up most of the free time I have.

When I'm not doing work, like Ash, I spend countless hours fangirling over people who don't know I exist (many boy bands, actors and youtubers). I also spend any free time I have watching Doctor Who. A little fact about me: I have all 8 series of New Who (Whovians understand) on DVD. I love it that much, so expect some Who-related posts on my days (There will definitely be a post on boxing day about the Christmas special). I think there is a small nerd inside me somewhere...

Facts about me:
- I'm a Whovian
- I've been too more concerts than I have fingers and toes... I think
- You can't see my walls because I have too many posters at the moment
- I love baths
- My biggest fear is Feet... I have a fear of feet, yes
- There's something about spiritual things and anything different that I'm attracted to
- I study Wicca - Google it
- I live and breathe quotes from movies and TV series - if there is an opportunity to quote Doctor Who, I will, even if no one around me at the time understands
- In this group of seven I'm probably classed as the crazy one
- I like reminiscing in the past
- I Freaking love Disney
- I sometimes watch Anime
- I like to write fanfics and stories from time to time

Posts
- Reviews 
- Lollie's brain (My thoughts and feelings on anything and everything)
- Monthly favourites 
- Quizzes and tags
- How to become a better Human (Advice and Tips)

I''m very excited that this blog is starting and I really hope that all you in the world enjoy it as much as we like writing it!

Thank you for reading, until next Friday - Allons-y! 

Lollie xoxo

Welcome to your Thursday blogger- Maya♡

Hey guys, I'm Maya, your Thursday blogger from the seven sweethearts. Not really sure how I'm meant to start this post, so I'll begin with a little bit about myself.

I'm 16 years old, living in a small town in the middle of nowhere in this miserable-weathered country we call England! I attend a Sixth Form College alongside the rest of the Seven Sweethearts. I study Food Technology, ICT, Maths and Spanish - Stressed is an understatement!

My hobbies and interests, well, I suppose you could say I'm your typical teenage girl. I enjoy hair, nails, fashion trends, baking, listening to music and the occasional reading when I have time. I think its safe to say I spend way to much time painting my nails and Fun Fact; I (to date) own 87 bottles of nail varnish.

But anyways, the countdown to christmas begins as Christmas is just one week away! Eeekkk!
Im so excited for christmas. This year, my family & I are going down to Cornwall for Christmas. We spend a lot of time down in Cornwall, going at least 3-4 times a year. Its my favourite place to visit, its so peaceful,quiet and simply beautiful! I love to surf and swim, so down in Cornwall is a great opportunity for me to do this. Therefore it means next week, on Christmas day I'll be blogging from the beach, even if it will be freezing cold in this glorious English weather (!).

Sorry its been a little short and brief, I kinda suck writing introductions of things.
So my future posts will probably be based around baking, nail/hair tutorials, Product Reviews and just whatever is on my mind at the time of writing, so I hope you enjoy !:)

Goodbye for now,

Love
Maya ♡

Hello.... from your monday blogger

Hi,

Wow I really don't know what to write- I had planned out what I was going to say and had even posted it but my post seems to have disappeared- I blame the fairies.

So Hi, I'm Belle and  I'm 16 years old; I live in England; well Essex to be precise but oh well.

 So on Saturday my group of friends; Bri, Summer, Maya, Ash, Lollie and Payton and I were round Summers playing Mario kart and having a super fun time when  Lollie suggested we should all write a blog together; we all decided on a day to write and I got Monday which could be a good or a bad way- it will help me get through the day at least!

The first thing I think is worth telling about me is that I'm doing my A-levels at the moment and I'm studying  Textiles, philosophy and ethics, Travel and tourism and  ICT.  I actually go to sixth form with my friends who are also part of this blog and who study similar subjects to me.

My hobbies consist of watching lost, friends, once upon a time, house and super natural; I'm slightly addicted to reading also and spend a lot of my time either reading a physical book and reading on wattpad.

I live with my mother, father and my little sister who is 13- she doesn't seem so little anymore!
next week I will be making a post on how to make the best brownies ever!!
I will be using this blog to give out advise, tutorials, facts, responses and other bits; I really don't know how to end this...

well,

bye..

Belle x
