I know its been a little while since I mentioned that me and Sinead made this video. But I've been playing around with it for about a week so that is the best it can be. I hope you enjoy it. 

WARNING- IT INCLUDES; AN INSANE PROM QUEEN, KAWAII OUTFITS AND A CAT.

prom queen dream

I am literally peeing myself with excitement as prom in on in under 4 months. My main cause for excitement is that I get to choose a dress and shoes and possibly a bag. I'm planning on going for a pastel coloured 50's style prom dress with clunky platforms and a sparkly cardigan. Etsy is an absolute shrine of gorgeous 50's prom dresses and I have been torturing myself  looking at all of them for a few weeks. Anyway prom viiibbbess........

changeling

"Anyone between the ages of 10 and 21, you're about 200 different people."
-Patrick Wolf

being a teenager, its inevitable to experience so many emotions you can't count them. you're changeable and fickle and sometimes you hate yourself but sometimes you love yourself.
I remember a time when I was set in my ways that I was in love with the singer of Green Day, pink made me want to vom, and I was going to write comics when I grew up.

And now... I wear predominantly pastel colours (yes that includes pink), Patrick Wolf is my -imaginary- beau, I want to be a musician, and plastic-fantastic-everything rocks my world.

And I find myself defiant - almost proud - at all the stereotypes people stamp on me with every stare, every scowl, and every giggle behind my back.

Lesbian (archetypal).

Weirdo (which I am, actually).

Bitch (debatable, although I hate the term) .

I've ended up not caring about these labels. In fact, it's a clever thing to turn it around and turn it into an aesthetic thing. It takes confidence to call yourself derogatory terms just to be ironic, so I have yet to get the hang of that.

In other news, I am 30 minutes and 25 seconds in to the first episode of My Mad Fat Diary and I love it so much. It's so witty and honest and ..90s. Highly recommended.

some 'me' things

So, this week has been good.

On Friday I was told by my viola teacher that I have the musical ability and knowledge to become a grade 5 player like NOW, which was super exciting and surreal seeing as the last exam I did was grade 2 violin (ha).

This would mean I could probably get onto the music course I want to get into for A-level, YAY.

Also, this weekend Sophie and I were very productive (see video post previously) and I dressed up like some kind of fluffy marshmallow.

And a minute ago my cat was asleep and it was fun listening to the little noises she made in her sleep, and seeing her twitch when I tickled her ears.

This has been a slightly pointless post
Bye

Good Day!

Hello internet voyagers. Our names are Sinead and Sophie and as a collective we are...................... THE FLAPJACK-OWLS. TWIT-TWOO and all that jazz. We pledge to blog about all things bright and beautiful; all creatures great and small (such as cats owls sloths etc) we may also include craftiness ( the crochet type, not being sneaky) a bit of general art, a smattering of music and perhaps a little filmmaking. We may also attempt to wear nice clothes and show them to you. Maybe.Also we may choose to include a personal touch and inform you of mildly interesting goings-on in our mundane but pleasant lives. 
So sit back and be prepared to be slightly interested.
