A lot of people enter every new year with these so called "resolutions" in order to improve themselves or an aspect of their lives. I think these are rubbish because no one ever keeps to them and most people have usually broken them by like January 5th, so I don't bother. Instead I make some sort of plan. Now I know you are probably thinking that it's the same as a resolution, but that is where you are wrong! A resolution implies that it is something to be continued throughout the year, whereas a plan is something that is an ongoing thing and I don't feel under any pressure to do it in just the one year.
So in true form I thought that there could be no better people than to share my plans with than my lovely readers. If you manage to read through this completely and not either think I am an idiot, or decide to unsubscribe then you get a bunny rabbit wearing a top hat as a reward.
The first sort of plan is that I want to do more things for me. The last year and a bit were all about me making decisions based upon someone else who quite clearly did not reciprocate - although at the time it seemed as if they did. Looking back on the last god knows how long, I was unhappy, unstable and not myself. That's a big thing for me I think, I have and always will be true to myself, but I let one person manipulate and control how I felt and what I did and that is not how I want to live my life. I am a very independent person: I will not ask for help, I will almost never take advice, and I am as stubborn as they come, but that is me and I very much doubt I will change. So from now on it's going to be a matter of doing what makes me happy, not what makes someone else happy.
On a relatively similar note I want to be a lot more comfortable in my own skin. As a female I find myself at a constant struggle with the attention on appearance. As a twenty-something year old I also find this something that I have to deal with on a daily basis. I have said numerous times in different posts about not letting other people's ideals influence how you feel about yourself, so now I am actually going to start taking that advice. I want to be more comfortable with my body - I am never going to be a six foot size bloody 0 model. I am a normal, curvy woman with fucking ass and boobs, so who should go around telling me that because I am chubby I shouldn't be happy? Well boo-fucking-hoo to whoever makes up those rules, please go shove them where the sun doesn't shine thank you very much.
The last personal note I will include on this one, and I shan't go in to much detail because my private life will remain private. But for once I don't want to fuck something up, or be the cause of pushing someone away as that seems to be a common denominator in the last 5 years. I can honestly say that right now I am the happiest I have been in a good 6 or 7 years now, and I want the reason for that to be there for as long as they want to stay there. So that will probably mean the likes of my blog will take a bit of a back seat because it does take over my life quite a lot, and I shouldn't let it. But yes, I digress, I am a happy bunny at the moment, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings to this little part of my life.
Anyway moving on from that completely, we turn to my blog. As you can probably see I have had a few overhauls in the last month or so. I have changed my design a fair amount and I do quite like the way Lovelychubly looks now. I think it looks a lot more professional than the overcrowded mess it was a while back. So I think there are a few developments that I want to make on here.
First of all I actually want to crack on with How It Should Have Ended because I have been saying that I am going to be writing it from day one and I have been so busy with work and university that I just haven't found the time to sit down and properly plan everything. But I have changed the direction that I am going to go with it - an update shall follow soon. Hopefully I will have it completely fully written within the next 7 months and it will hopefully be published not long after that! Don't frown and think that it's a long time...it takes a lot of time and effort to sit down and write a novel so keep your eyes peeled for little snippets here there and everywhere. Also if any of you are still interested in illustrating it then get hold of me by clicking any of my social media links on the sidebar.
I also have another little series tucked up my sleeve. As you know I study criminology at university, which is completely unrelated to writing. So I thought why don't I combine the two and start a little chapter-by-chapter thing on my blog which, when completed, will essentially be a book? So that is what I am going to do. I will be looking at writing some sort of detective style crime novel, but specifics and whatnot are quite fuzzy at the moment so keep your eyes peeled there, too!
I think that is everything mainly to be honest. There are obviously little lifestyle habits I want to kick but they are completely boring and utter nonsense for you guys so I saved you some time there.
I just want to take a quick moment to say a little something to you all:
I originally started Lovelychubly just as a place to vent my thoughts and to have a little rant; never did I expect that it would take off to the level that it is now. I have gone from a crappy little blog to a full on website in the space of 6 months, and I have been offered so many different opportunities because of my writing becoming so popular. For this I have you all to thank. My posts could never have got to where they are without the audience who read them, so thank you very much to all of you! If I could hug all 12, 000 of you I would! I hope that you do keep coming back to see what Lovelychubly has in store for you, and I promise I will get back to my regular posts soon enough. Hope you had a lovely new year and didn't get too drunk, you messy lot!
As always thank you for reading. All my social media links are over in the sidebar, and do feel free to share and comment and all those annoying little things I ask you to do all the time.
Goodnight, lovelies.

Big announcements!
Hello there, buddies!
So I have just cracked 8000 viewers which is absolutely mental! So thank you so so so much to everyone who has ever read, shared or talked about my blog. I have you guys to thank for everything!
I thought that this would be a good time to make this announcement instead of chucking it in the middle of a normal post and having it go right in one ear and out the other.
I have decided that since my blog is going down so well that if I get over 10 000 viewers by the end of the year, I will purchase the rights and copyrights to my name and become my own website!
I have spoken to one of my amazing friends who is going to work on some graphics with me so I will be having a massive overhaul on here and everything will have a brand new look!
I will be keeping with my general idea of the fact that my blog is based on me ranting and that it is all personal and whatnot, so the content itself will probably not change. I will be sticking to my core pages of "rants", "raves" and "rambles" and also my new series "how it should have ended" will be there too (read more about that below) but possibly adding a few new things, so read about that below.
Rants
My rants seem to be the favourite of you guys so I will just stick to them as they are I think. I have made a recent list of things I want to talk about in this segment, so there are loads of different things I have planned for you. I will also be able to add more styles of rants when I get back to uni, so stay tuned for all that!
Raves
My raves page seems to be just full of random posts that don't classify as rants or rambles. They are mainly consisting of "how to" posts or random chatter about things. So I want to know what you guys want to see on this page. So let me know in the comments!
Rambles
My rambles page is quite popular with you all, too! I think I will be keeping this how it is and whatnot, but let me know if you want any changes to it!
How It Should Have Ended - original series
If you are a regular reader to my blog you will know that I am starting my own original writing series based on traditional fairy tales. This series is me re-writing them in different genres - probably horror - just simply as something for a creative outlet for me. I am planning on starting this series in September, with the first one being published on September 30. I cannot promise I can stick to that date as the first few weeks of uni are hectic, but I will be working on it for at least half an hour every day. You can read the synopsis of my series here. I am definitely taking suggestions on this series, or if any of you would like to feature in it, illustrate it or co-write then get in touch! All my links are at the end of the post, or on the right.
Potential new segments
I am hoping to launch a few new segments on here in the new year. I am unsure of the final list, but they will be weekly segments about anything. I am thinking the first one will be readers choice where you guys take control. This can be either by making videos, sending me segments to put in, or telling me what to write. Comment below with your opinions.
University segment
I am considering doing a segment on my blog of university survival, student tips, and a life of a student sort of thing. Although this will be aimed largely at students, it will be a good read for anyone who just wants a general giggle. So let me know your opinions on that.
News
After the incredible success of my ask.fm post (which you can read here) I am thinking that a few posts about things like this - aka areas of concern and news headlines - might go down well with you all. Not sure what you will think, but I might trial some as and when the time is right so I can see how well it goes down.
YouTube
You all know I have a YouTube channel but I don't use it because I am lazy. I am going to get this completely up and running in the new year and have it fully functioning with new uploads every week. I will be working with a friend of mine in September to make a rather amusing video, so stay tuned for that!
Social media
All my media links are to the right and at the end of every post, but I want to know if there are any sites that you guys use and want me to add myself on? Let me know.
Challenges
I do have a challenges section on my blog at the moment which have a few things that people have tagged me in or asked me to do. I am thinking of getting rid of that segment completely and introducing them as normal posts, but I am still thinking that through.
Layout
The layout of my website at the moment has been dubbed "messy and terrible looking" so I am thinking that this might be a general thought from you guys. I am quite annoyed at the manner this was put forward to me as I quite like the layout of my blog, but I will be changing it slightly with my new graphics. I am unsure of how I am going to do this yet, but I know my social media links will look different, and I will do a new header. The pages may change position, too, but we shall see what the designs look like!
Suggestions - what you want to see
Last but not least, I want to hear from you about what you guys want to see. So contact me by any of my links or even by commenting.
So I think that is everything I needed to tell you for now....
Vikki is also back from her holiday so I am sure I can rope her in to do some stuff with me for my blog - so stay tuned for those in October!
If you enjoyed some of the things I have mentioned in this then let me know, and click "Join This Site" to know when I post new articles.
As always thank you for reading and I will speak to you tomorrow!
Toodle-oo!

"How It Should Have Ended" original series synopsis (COMING SOON)
Hello there, buddies!
Well I had a little bit of a brainwave earlier on for a new series on my blog. This new series will be alternate endings to stories and fairy tales where I will then rewrite the entire story from a different perspective!
So for the first part of the series I will tell you my ideas for alternate endings for fairy tales, Disney movies and classic stories!
DISCLAIMER: Please remember that all characters are not my own and are the copyright and property of the author/company. I do not own any rights to any of these and the content I write is just my thoughts on them and, in some circumstances, a parody of them.
So here are my first few ideas! All feedback on them is welcome and any other things that you would like me to create an alternate ending to and rewrite should all be commented below!
Please bear in mind that I am considering the fact that all of these will be transformed in to a horror format/genre so they are most likely going to be really dark and whatnot. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
I am just going to bullet point for now as this could get reaaallly long otherwise.
I wrote that bit above like two days ago and have since had a different idea. Thought I would keep it to prove to you that I do actually do work and that I don't sit on my ass all day (I do). Basically I decided that giving away the things that I have planned is like reading the last pages of a book before you even read the first chapter - completely pointless and involving spoilers. So naturally I thought I would tell you a bit about my series, the things I have planned, and what I plan on doing with them.
I will also welcome every single bit of feedback you have - whether you think this will be a success, any suggestions for changes in my series, or things that you want to see! I want to make this series enjoyable for you, too!
I am thinking I might also do a reader custom story where you get to choose between several different options and then I take your choices and make them into a story! What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
So I am looking for some artists to do some work for me for my series. Read the crazy red bit below to find out more.
Calling all artists: if you are really good at drawing/animating then I am looking for you! If you would be interested in doing the concept art for my re-tell of these stories then please get in touch by either my Twitter or emailing me at danielleowen@live.co.uk with a preview of the things you can do! I will be choosing the best few to feature in my version of the fairy tales!
Ok so I thought I should tell you about the titles I am currently working with for my series. I have chosen a select few (loads) to start with. At first I was looking at doing just traditional fairy tales, then I thought why don't I branch out? So I am currently working with the idea of doing Disney movies and maybe if they end up being successful then I will branch out and tackle some other movies. So let me know what you think about that.
These are the ones I have chosen so far. If there are any ones you want me to add/remove then comment in the box below!
CINDERELLA
SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS
SLEEPING BEAUTY
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
THREE LITTLE PIGS
GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
THE UGLY DUCKLING
THE GINGERBREAD MAN
RUMPLESTILTSKIN
HANSEL AND GRETEL
THE LITTLE MERMAID
THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA
ROBIN HOOD
RAPUNZEL
THE FROG PRINCE
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
ALADDIN
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
WINNIE THE POOH
PINOCCHIO
THE WIZARD OF OZ
PETER PAN
THE LION KING
TOY STORY
RATATOUILLE
The basic idea for this is to take your traditional fairy tale and twist and turn it to make it in to a horror story. So I will be keeping the original plot for each one e.g. Cinderella going to the ball, but adding in an alternate motive to turn it absolutely horrifying.
At first I was just going to rewrite them with a random ending and keep the same plot etc, but I thought that a lot of people do that sort of thing, so I will do something completely different and give your childhood stories a more adult twist!
I hope you like this idea! I am not sure when I will be publishing my first one as it is taking a lot of planning and writing each one is quite time consuming. I will keep you updated on the progress!
Comment below with your thoughts and ideas on what I have got so far - I would love for you to all like my work on this series so your opinions are very important!

I hate shopping
Hello there, buddies!
Welcome to today's rant about the fact that I strongly dislike shopping. Yes, yes I know you are shocked to hear this from a girl, but I dislike fashion and shopping and all that shit. The only time that I find shopping relatively enjoyable is if I know that I need to go to one shop and I can get home.
I warn you now, this rant could get slightly out of hand and very extensive, so if you are easily offended or bored please look away now!
First of all, I would like to discuss the fact that I dislike trying things on, and fitting rooms in general. I really really do not like the fact that I have to change out of my clothes, as I spend a relatively long time in the morning putting my clothes on, doing my hair, and doing my make up. I just literally cannot explain it. Having to change out of my normal clothes that I am already wearing to have to temporarily try on something, look in the mirror and take it off again. I just find this all very inconvenient and unnecessary. I find this more annoying in cheaper shops like Primark (no offence, Primark, I love you lots) as their changing rooms are not in the best of nick, and they just feel slightly gross. In comparison, there are changing rooms in shops like Next which are really quite nice, but I still find them so irritating. I have also found that not many changing rooms have stools/benches/seats for you to sit on when trying on certain items of clothing (e.g. jeans/bottoms). I don't know about you, but being able to sit down in something, especially skinny jeans, is very important. This then means that you have to either try and balance against the wall, or sit your ass on the floor....so unhygienic. It has been brought to my attention (by Vikki), that when she was in the changing rooms of a certain high street store, there was a significant amount of chewing gum stuck the the sides of a mirror....how bloody gross do people want to get?! There are a million bins all around places for you to put your gum, so why the fuck would you stick it to a mirror? Classy. I also get really agitated and irritated when someone makes me try something on. I don't know, maybe I am just a bit of a failure of a girl, or I have some genetic unbalance or something?
Then there is the issue of shop assistants. In my experience I have found that they go either way: they can be either very helpful, or they can simply not give a shit. I find it more annoying when they care too much, is that weird? I really dislike someone bugging me when I am in a store, simply because it means that I have to prolong my stay in a shop. Bleh. Whereas if they don't give a shit, it means you get get your stuff and go. So much easier. I am starting to think that I am really really weird....Does this apply to anyone else?
I now want to talk about clothes. Is it me or are they getting really skimpy and cheap looking? What happened to the good ol' days when the cardigans were full length, and the dresses didn't have the sides cut out of them? No offence to anyone who wears them as they look good on someone with a good figure. However, I am not a girl with a traditional good figure, and they just don't work on me. Also, fashion these days is just so beyond weird, but that is a conversation for a different day. I find that cheaper shops (I am a student, I cannot afford bloody Chanel) their stock can be awesome one day, then in a few weeks it all goes to shit? What is with that?!
Now comes a moment when I sympathise with men. Carrying bags is a bitch. I have been shopping with friends who have come out of shops £80 down with like 19308219 bags attached to their arms. There has only been once circumstance in my entire life when I have left town with more than 5 bags, and that was simply because I am getting far too fat and needed to get new summer clothes. I really hate it when I have more than 2 bags stuck in my hands or arms - they just get far too inconvenient. I find this occurs in other shops as you end up bumping into mannequins, people or stands. There have been numerous occasions where I have been on the receiving end of a bitch glare from someone I have hit with my bag. They also dig in to your hands and cut off the blood circulation, then you end up getting that horrible fuzzy feeling. It is so not worth it! If shopping is done online you don't have to carry any of that shit!
Also, it is me or are clothes literally quadrupling in price? There was a day not long ago when I could walk in to Primark, spend £15, and come out with like 5 new outfits. Now, I can't go in there and spend less than that on ONE outfit! Other shops, which were already way too expensive for my tiny budget, have doubled in price. Looks like I will be living off of charity shops soon.
I am also getting very irritated with the sizing of clothes. Like most girls, I get quite upset if i am over a certain size - yes I can be typically girly sometimes, shocking I know. Cheaper shops, I find, have dodgy sizing and I can go from like a 14 in one shop, to a 10 in another. It is a good day for everyone if I come out of a shop with a size 10, but as soon as I end up being a 14 we need to go home. Please can we not just have some universal size for every shop?! Please?!
Then there is the issue of mirrors. They are EVERYWHERE. I am one of those annoying girls who finds it necessary to check to see if my hair looks OK whenever I see a mirror. But then it works the other way as some mirrors make girls look bad, whereas others make a girl look pretty good. Not cool, dude.
And for my final point, I would like to talk about snooty bitches who judge you based on what shop you walk in to, and what outfit you buy. This annoys me immensely as I don't give a fuck about what other people think, but as soon as someone gives you that bitchy glare and looks you up and down, I want to hit them square between the eyes. Does this happen to any of you, or do I just have some bad temper issues?
OK, I am going to stop this rant now as I could go on forever.

Welcome to today's rant about the fact that I strongly dislike shopping. Yes, yes I know you are shocked to hear this from a girl, but I dislike fashion and shopping and all that shit. The only time that I find shopping relatively enjoyable is if I know that I need to go to one shop and I can get home.
I warn you now, this rant could get slightly out of hand and very extensive, so if you are easily offended or bored please look away now!
First of all, I would like to discuss the fact that I dislike trying things on, and fitting rooms in general. I really really do not like the fact that I have to change out of my clothes, as I spend a relatively long time in the morning putting my clothes on, doing my hair, and doing my make up. I just literally cannot explain it. Having to change out of my normal clothes that I am already wearing to have to temporarily try on something, look in the mirror and take it off again. I just find this all very inconvenient and unnecessary. I find this more annoying in cheaper shops like Primark (no offence, Primark, I love you lots) as their changing rooms are not in the best of nick, and they just feel slightly gross. In comparison, there are changing rooms in shops like Next which are really quite nice, but I still find them so irritating. I have also found that not many changing rooms have stools/benches/seats for you to sit on when trying on certain items of clothing (e.g. jeans/bottoms). I don't know about you, but being able to sit down in something, especially skinny jeans, is very important. This then means that you have to either try and balance against the wall, or sit your ass on the floor....so unhygienic. It has been brought to my attention (by Vikki), that when she was in the changing rooms of a certain high street store, there was a significant amount of chewing gum stuck the the sides of a mirror....how bloody gross do people want to get?! There are a million bins all around places for you to put your gum, so why the fuck would you stick it to a mirror? Classy. I also get really agitated and irritated when someone makes me try something on. I don't know, maybe I am just a bit of a failure of a girl, or I have some genetic unbalance or something?
Then there is the issue of shop assistants. In my experience I have found that they go either way: they can be either very helpful, or they can simply not give a shit. I find it more annoying when they care too much, is that weird? I really dislike someone bugging me when I am in a store, simply because it means that I have to prolong my stay in a shop. Bleh. Whereas if they don't give a shit, it means you get get your stuff and go. So much easier. I am starting to think that I am really really weird....Does this apply to anyone else?
I now want to talk about clothes. Is it me or are they getting really skimpy and cheap looking? What happened to the good ol' days when the cardigans were full length, and the dresses didn't have the sides cut out of them? No offence to anyone who wears them as they look good on someone with a good figure. However, I am not a girl with a traditional good figure, and they just don't work on me. Also, fashion these days is just so beyond weird, but that is a conversation for a different day. I find that cheaper shops (I am a student, I cannot afford bloody Chanel) their stock can be awesome one day, then in a few weeks it all goes to shit? What is with that?!
Now comes a moment when I sympathise with men. Carrying bags is a bitch. I have been shopping with friends who have come out of shops £80 down with like 19308219 bags attached to their arms. There has only been once circumstance in my entire life when I have left town with more than 5 bags, and that was simply because I am getting far too fat and needed to get new summer clothes. I really hate it when I have more than 2 bags stuck in my hands or arms - they just get far too inconvenient. I find this occurs in other shops as you end up bumping into mannequins, people or stands. There have been numerous occasions where I have been on the receiving end of a bitch glare from someone I have hit with my bag. They also dig in to your hands and cut off the blood circulation, then you end up getting that horrible fuzzy feeling. It is so not worth it! If shopping is done online you don't have to carry any of that shit!

Ultimate Blog Challenge Day Two: July 2 - I Forgot Day
Hiii-aaaa!
Following on from yesterday's UBC post, today is I Forgot Day. I bet you're surprised that I remembered to write it, eh?!
Long story short, today is essentially a day to forgot! Or you can look at it in a different light of using it to try and remember all the things you have forgotten. Did you put the washing out? Have you forgotten someone's birthday? Have you forgotten where something is?
You can look at it in many ways; you could use the day to look through old photos and find events that you had forgotten about. This is exactly what I have done! I spent an hour or so looking through some pictures at my Grandma's house from when I was little about the times which I thought I had forgotten. I must say, this was all very interesting and I found a load of pictures of me that I had forgotten all about - like a picture of me and my cousin when we were younger. It is weird the things you can dig up.
I Forgot Day was apparently invented by Gaye Andersen in the USA. On this note I would like to clarify that these are not all necessarily holidays for the UK, but are definitely things you can use here! There is nothing stopping you!
Here is today's challenge for you: write down 5 things that you had thought you had forgotten! Post them in the comments below, or even tweet me @LovelyChubly with #IForgotDay. These can be anything from trivial things like leaving straighteners on for too long (I did this earlier), to forgetting about it being your uncle's, grandad's aunty's birthday. See what I mean, very random, but at the same time all very interesting!
You could even pass this on to friends and family, and see what crazy things you have all forgotten. I bet this could turn out to be quite amusing.
I am finding I Forgot Day actually quite useful as I am remembering all these things that I should have done - like sort out the header for my blog - that I haven't quite got around to doing yet because I have an awful memory.
So get your thinking caps on, and start remembering things that you have forgotten!
All comments are extremely welcome and I will reply to every one (if there are any!).
That is all for today's UBC, don't forget to subscribe to my blog at the top left, and follow me all on the top right!

Ultimate Blog Challenge Introduction: My posts
Hiiii-aaaa!
So I have told you a little tiny bit about the Ultimate Blog Challenge (UBC from now on as I am lazy). Now because I have told you about it, I can finally tell you a bit about what my posts are going to be about! Yay!
After much deliberation and research, I found a little page on the old inter-web. It was full of awesome holidays from all over the year. I know what you're thinking, but we aren't talking about your bog standard holidays like Christmas, bla bla bla. We are talking about crazy, random things here!
From this, I decided that I would be focusing my UBC on the random holidays I found for July!
Each day will correspond to the holiday I found, with the exception of the 16th which will be a post dedicated to Vikki as it will be her birthday!
Each post will include information about the day, things you could do and my ridiculous ramble about it - you all know how much I like to ramble.
In addition to these I will be starting my new segment of "A Day In The Life" where I will be boring you with the non events of my life. I am sure you will enjoy it.
So stay tuned over the next month for my 2 daily posts!

Appropriate plane behaviour
Hello there, buddies!
Ok, today I want to talk about plane etiquette, and things that annoy me when I fly (on a plane ofc). I don't know about you, but there are just certain things that are just completely inappropriate on a plane. This might be me being snobby, but there are bound to be people out there (like you guys) who find these things annoying too! They just bug the absolute shit out of me. Commence rant.
Ok the first thing that I think needs to be addressed here is parents with younger kids. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. But when you have someone's baby screaming next to you for the whole 9 and a half hours that it takes to get to Florida, you sometimes start to go a little insane. Am I wrong? It might just be me, but seriously, can you not shut your baby up for literally 5 minutes?! I have also had a flight - again to Florida, I know I am so adventurous - where some kid behind me was just constantly throwing up. Gross. And I have this major phobia of the sound of someone being sick, the sick itself doesn't bother me, but the sound....ergh I hate it so much. So you can imagine me on this flight. Grouchy as fuck just sat with my headphones turned right up so that I can't hear anything. Did the job after a while.
Another thing people need to pay attention to is hand luggage. There are a few things which bug me about this. The first is people who put their hand luggage under the WRONG seat. I am not being funny, but I really do not understand how people do this....there are videos saying to put it under the seat IN FRONT of you, but people insist on putting it under their seat. Pretty sure their life jackets are under there. If we crashed into the sea you'd be wearing your bag instead of a life jacket.....The other thing is when people constantly push your luggage out from the seat in front of you when they decide that it is a great storage place for their feet. This happened to me on my most recent flight to Spain. I have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shell backpack (don't judge me) and some pain in the ass kept kicking it so it would come out from the space it was in. Gah it bugged me so much.
Now this one is just be being a picky bitch, but if you have been on a long haul flight you might sympathise. People who snore loudly. When you are flying overnight on a 10 hour flight the main thing you want to do is sleep. Now I find it extremely difficult to sleep on a plane, but when you have that one bald guy opposite you just snoring so loudly with his mouth wide open, you just wanna plug a pillow in his mouth to shut him up.
This one is more aimed towards planes themselves. Well not the planes, but plane companies. This problem I have would be plane food. I have never had a great experience with plane food, it all seems to be bland cardboard-ness. I have also had what they called a bread roll which was frozen to fuck. Lovely. At least they try and make up for it with little bags of pretzels and mini ice creams. To give credit to them, breakfast is usually ok. I love the little pots of orange juice they give out. I'm sad.
Another thing that bugs me when I am on a plane is when you land. People think that as soon as the seat belt sign is turned off that they should stand up, get all their shit from the overhead lockers and just stand there and block the aisles. Now I find this very irritating as it means that no one can get off the plane until they move. And every time they do this, they decide that just as the plane doors open to faff around and do stuff IN THE AISLE so that you can't get out. Aaaahhh some of us want to be off the plane we have been stuck on for hours! Jeez.
I wanna mention appropriate behaviour when there is turbulence. I have flown through a hurricane so I know bad turbulence. I know it is a scary thing, and that people panic. But when a flight gets slightly bumpy and you hear people screaming and shouting I just do not understand. When you are flying through cloud it will tend to get bumpy because of the wind.....you are not going to free-fall out the sky are you? So chill your shit and have a drink.
Chair kicking. It is just completely unnecessary on planes. I am not being funny but you are not the only one who is uncomfortable. My dad is 6'3 and you don't see him kicking anyone's chair because he is all cramped up do ya? No, you do not. So please, 5'3 woman, stop kicking my chair because it winds me up and I will turn around and give you death stares. Thanks.
And finally (I know, another long rant. Sorry), there is the situation of annoying air hostesses (don't start singing Busted). Does no one else find it incredibly irritating when all they do is smile? I wanna see one get really pissed off and shout at that kid who won't stop pestering, or the one person who is always pressing the summon button. Omg that would be awesome.
Ok everyone, overly long rant over now. If you have read this far you deserve my eternal love!
That is all for now. Don't forget to use the media buttons to your left to do all your stalking!
Speak to you later.
Toodle-oo!

I have unrealistic expectations of life
Hello there, buddies!
Okey dokey, today I want to talk about life expectations. I don't know about you, but my expectations from my life are so unrealistic, but I keep thinking they will come true! This is going to be a full on rant cause I haven't planned this whatsoever.....so bear with me!
I dunno about you, but I had this little life plan formulated in my head. Recent events have essentially meant that said life plan has just gone completely down the drain. I am a lost cause.
Theeeeeeen, I decided I would just concentrate on university and getting the best grades that I can - also unrealistic considering I like to drink and go out.....Typical student to be honest.
It is more my life plans after university are unrealistic really. After uni I am going to Florida with my little gang of buddies for two weeks. The money side of this is extremely unrealistic given that I am looking at £2000....but this is happening 'cause it is Disney. You can check up on this in 2 years though.
My plans after uni are just ridiculous. I am hopefully looking at moving to London with some of my uni friends. I know what you are thinking - these are already unrealistic because London is stupidly expensive to live in. I know this already! Having said that, there will be like 4 of us so maybe it will be cheaper? Any good looking YouTuber's living in London? Well heeeeeeey :)
Then I wanna move to New York or somewhere similar after this which is already unrealistic.
In an ideal world I would love to travel the world with a bunch of friends, just seeing the sights and getting some awesome opportunities under my belt because for some reason that is just the sort of person I am. You can already see a trend forming here....essentially I need to win the lottery.....I don't even play the lottery....
I also want to get the job of my dreams! I would love to work in youth justice, and I sort of have these opportunities at hand which is helpful for me. So maybe this one can come true :)
I'd love to get my blog noticed too cause I love to write, but this is so far-fetched as million of people blog now. Oh well :)
Now is when I turn in to a romantic typical girl with the whole I want to get married and have kids thing. Now for anyone who knows me, this is just not going to happen. I have my standards set so high I wish anyone luck fulfilling them. Unless your name is Jack Harries (YouTuber for all those who don't know) cause he is like my perfect man. There is another unrealistic thing cause that is never ever going to happen. Sad Danielle. :(
I have no idea if anyone else can even relate to that really because I just went full on rant there.
I know a lot of people have expectations from their lives, but to do all mine I need to become famous and win the lottery. Which won't happen.
So comment below your unrealistic expectations so that I don't feel as much as a loser.
