Eurovision 2012 Favourites & General Fangirling

Hello! ^^
May is my favourite time of year for mainly three reasons: my birthday is May 17th, it's the last month of school before holidays and....... THE EUROVISION IS ALWAYS IN MAY!
Honestly though, sometimes I think I get more excited for the Eurovision than my birthday wtf.
Anyhow, the winning song from the year I was born was actually from Ireland. It was our third year in a row winning. AW YEAH~ it's such a pretty song though, probably one of my favourites.<3


It was also the first year people could actually see the jury spokesperson from each country and we also had a super awesome Riverdance performance during the interval:

/end of random Eurovision history lecture. o_O

Now, I shall share my favourite/least favourite entries for this year! Mainly because the world needs to know  of my awesome taste in music. Listing them in no particular order since I don't really have a favourite as such yet...

Serbia


Love love loveeee this song. 'Tis so pretty. Random fact but Serbia's song from 2007, Molitva (Prayer), is one of my all time Eurovision favourites. :3

Iceland

This song is so epic orz. For some reason it sounds slightly Irish-esque at parts but I bet everyone else will be like "wtf no it doesn't???" so I'll just be quiet nao. :3 It also sounds pretty Eurovision-esque compared to a lot of the entries this year which is another reason why I like it so much.

Turkey 

I have a feeling a lot of people will dislike this song but I THINK IT IS AWESOME OKIE. It's just really fun and super catchy and I like how they used some traditional instruments too. Also I think the guy is quite good looking and that's always a plus you know you know~ tbh I think I should be in the music video, I'd fit in amazingly well with all the awkward dancing going on. ^O^

England

I had to do a double take when I first read Engelbert Humperdinck was representing England, idk it just seemed so random. o.o Anyhow, this song is beautiful and if you don't like it you suck. x

Ireland

*is biased* there's something about Jedward that makes it difficult for me to hate them, that being said they still irk me a lot. I loved Lipstick last year, I still can't decide which song I prefer though. But srsly though, I hope we do well this year again. I was so happy that we actually made it into the top 10 haha. SO PLEASE, VOTE FOR IRELAND THIS YEAR AND I WILL GIVE U A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF POTATOES <3 bribery ftw.

Croatia

I usually don't really like the really dancey(rly technical term tbh) songs but there's something about this one that I love. Also it sounds pretty Eurovision-esque too compared to other entries IMO!

Okie so they are my favourites for this years Eurovision. If your country made the cut then you should feel extremely honoured and stuff. But I'm also really liking Estonia, Demark, The Netherlands and France's entries. :3

And nao, here are the two most WTF entries of this year (IMO ><)

San Marino

I think this song was inspired by Friday - Rebecca Black wtf...

Russia

PARTY FOR EVERYBODY!!!! My favourite is the smallest granny, she's so cute. >O< But seriously, this is so bizarre hahaha.

Austria's entry this year is pretty weird too...which reminds me of how there was a discussion of how Austrian people were odd in my German class one day. My German teacher was actually the one who started it lol.

*is now super excited for Eurovision* too bad it happens right in the middle of my summer exams. D: I'm still watching it though!!!!! Just hoping I won't have more than one exam the next day though. u_u
Before I go I shall say this again: VOTE FOR IRELAND OKIE. We need to win cause I wanna attend the Eurovision next year! That is a good enough reason to vote for us~
"A vote for Ireland, is a vote for Shauna's happiness."
O_________o uhm yes ok goodbye!

Market Haul~

Hola ^_^
I think today was my..... 3rd or 4th time at the Sunday market in town. If you happen to stumble across thing and are from Cavan and have no clue where this market is; it's where the pet farm from years ago used to be. If you don't know where that is, then basically it's before you come to the roundabout for the bypass, on the Cavan-Ballinagh road... I think. *terrible with directions*
If you love bargains, then you'll really like the market since it seems to be getting bigger each week. But there are some stalls that are basically just piled with shit that no one would ever want to buy. -_-' Anyways, this is what I got.......


Just a random hoodie for wearing around the house/when I don't feel like dressing up... which is a lot of the time orz.


It was only €1 though, so awesomeeeeeeeeeeee~




*is obsessed with cardigans* this was also only €1!

 It's a little bit worn but whatever, still in great condition nonetheless.


This still had the label from the store on it~ only €4! I'll probably wear it with a hoodie/t-shirt or sth over it though cause strapless dresses look dumb on me. (broad shoulders + practically no boobs O_o)

 Pandora bracelet! Obviously not the real deal haha. My auntie was telling me how my cousin bought a real one for his girlfriend and it broke on her. D: They got it repaired but she's afraid to wear it anywhere now in case it breaks again, such a waste of money aaaah.

It was €6 btw!


So I didn't really like the weird handbag charm that came with it, so I did a bit of a swap and.....

I replaced it with my Heechul 'Hee' Chinese character charm. Actually it was from a necklace but I think it looks nicer like this. ^_^

I could sell this on eBay for like €20 or something tbh. But I like it too much heheh.


Unintentional photo LOL. The button for taking photos wasn't working properly so I was like =_= and then that happened....

Now onto food! 6 scones for €2.50 yeeeeeeeeey. We got them last week and they were so yummy.

I forget what this is called. o.o But it looked nice so I wanted to get it.

I can't remember how much this was even. Excited to try some for lunch though! *obsessed with food*


And that is everything I got! :o There was this woman who had like 5 boxes full of these really nice dresses (still had the labels on and everything) but I couldn't find anything in my size and I was too lazy to look through the boxes >_<' But next week she's getting a proper stall set up so mebe I will get something from her. Though I already have too many dresses that I don't wear very often as it is orz.

But yes, goodbye. ^_^

Le Rambling...

Herro~
It's exactly two weeks until my birthday today! Actually it's quite weird to think that I'll be considered an adult then... I was only told last week I look about 15. o_______O Honestly though, I look pretty much the same as I did when I was like 13. Except now my skin is 10x worse pffft.
I'm not even that excited about it any more, which is sort of an anticlimax for me because I swear I wasted half of my teenage years away wishing I was 18 *slaps past self*

Also, I'm having a big of a crisis right now (everything is a crisis for me tbh, forever blowing things out of proportion D:) because I have no clue what I want to do when I leave school any more. This is why I'm glad I did TY, gives me more time to sit back and ponder on what my purpose in life is and all that jazz. I originally wanted to be a journalist/something media related but they are pretty difficult to get /good/ jobs in. Not that it's easy to get a good job in general, but journalism just seems extra competitive and idk idk idk idk CONFUSION. MY BRAIN IS FRAZZLED. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*awkward cough* so, moving on from that........ I am currently doing my maths homework. 'Tis algebra revision. Random fact: I suck at maths. I don't like project maths at all; especially not you, probability T______T
Seriously though, you could try to explain something maths related to me 10+ times and I would still not understand it... My brain is basically just like "???????????????? lol idk.........*wanders into oblivion*"

I shall go now. Finish this homework and then study for my bio test on enzymes & photosynthesis tomorrow. x_x
Bio & maths are probably my worst subjects tbh.....


Sheba sitting on my bio book LOL. This is what she does when she wants attention.


I also finally used the Reminders app, it's basically just been sitting there for months and I never even opened it. Nearly everything happens/is due on my birthday week otl...

Also, before I go, I noticed that my friends bias groups like to have comebacks around my birthday. Eg; BEAST released their Fiction & Fact album on my birthday last year and Infinite will come back on May 15th. So on my birthday I better see some long awaited WonderBang performance or an announcement of Sunmi's return to WG or Big Bang world tour dates or SOMETHING FOR MY TO FANGIRL OVER. >O<

One more thing before I go (rofl this post will never end), I somehow injured a muscle in my left leg. I did something similar around this time last year too and it kept coming & going for over a month I'd say. O_O So right now my calf muscle is pretty much covered in deep heat and the smell is ew.

Byebyeeeeees. [abrupt ending o.o]
