Blogtober Day 28 - Favourite Music.

My Chemical Romance. The band that got me through the hard times. In particular 'Welcome To The Black Parade'. The creativity of the video, the lyrics. It just means everything to me.

Fall Out Boy. As previously mentioned another of my favourite bands. The first album of theirs I bought was Infinity On High and 'Hum Hallelujah' is one of my favourite songs on the album.

Mika. A bit different to a lot of my music tastes which tends more towards the rock side but ever since he started I have loved Mika's music. 'Blame It On The Girls' is probably one of my favourites and the video is really cool and quirky too.

It wouldn't be a music list without The Cure. I've loved them even before I knew what Goth was. I remember I found a cassette of Disintegration in a charity shop and loved it immediately but my favourite has always been the classic 'Friday I'm In Love'.

As mentioned on the movie post Labyrinth is my all-time favourite film so for the incredible David Bowie what could I pick other than a song from the movie? 'Dance Magic' never fails to put a smile on my face and I often find myself humming or singing it in the shower.

There's so many other artists I could list considering how big a part of my life music is but I'll keep it to a list of 5. Maybe I'll start up a Music Monday feature or something? It's something to think about anyway.

Slightly frustrated today though as I was going to do a cool orange and black spiderweb design on my nails for Halloween but it's looking like I've got an interview Thursday evening so there's not much point adding the webs to my orange. I have taken a photo of the orange though which I'll try and post for Halloween and maybe I'll try and do a Photoshop of what it would have looked like.

Blogtober Day 27 - Favourite YouTubers.

I don't really watch YouTube that much. I mostly use it for music videos. I do have a couple of channels that I follow though.

Firstly have my current favourite video 'Save Rock and Roll' by Fall Out Boy featuring Elton John. I've listened to the album via YouTube and it's epic! Fall Out Boy are definitely one of my favourite bands.


Simon's Cat! The illustrations are so cute and I love that there's no words, only sounds. This is Scaredy Cat the 2014 Halloween video.



Laci Green is a really interesting person and of all her videos the ones on feminism are definitely the most important for clearing up misconceptions.


Scarlet Saint is the only 'lifestyle' blogger I follow (the whole thing lately around Zoella confuses me because I have no clue who she is). I first became aware of her when BBC3 did the documentary 'Diaries of a Broken Mind' about teenage mental health. Scarlet has problems with anxiety and dermatillomania (me too but I think to a lesser extent) and I immediately found her really interesting and relateable. I even watch her haul videos just because I find her style really open and friendly. I decided to showcase her video on Bisexuality myths and facts here because although I am gay rather than bisexual it's something I care about as evidenced by this post here.
