James McAvoy

I'm surprised I haven't blogged about this sooner. This time last week I was in a class at Uni when Nikki texts me to tell me that James McAvoy is currently filming Filth (by Irvine Welsh) on the Grassmarket. THE GRASSMARKET IS 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY UNI BUILDING!!

I couldn't skive Uni there and then because Tuesdays are always an important day (grr) but I went as soon as it had finished but sadly he was gone :( I was so sad that Seb took me to the pub and bought me a cider!

Anyway I knew that he was filming the next day so I thought I would chance my luck. I was supposed to meet my group at 10.30. My lecture was at 9 but I decided that I would just have a lie in and get the bus to uni (which I never EVER do). When I was on the bus, I realised that it stops right next to the Grassmarket so I obviously got off and went straight there! HE WAS THERE FILMING!!!
Oh my goodness I just stared and watched him for ages until I realised I would have to go meet my group (booo!).

After Uni I met my friend Nikki and because she hadn't seen James yet, we decided to go see if he was still there- and HE WAS!!!
We watched him for about an hour and we were going to go but thought nah let's just wait until the very end. THANK GOD WE DID!!!
I ran over to him and got my photo taken with him!!
This is how our conversation went:

Me: You're like my favourite actor!
James: You are very kind.
Me: .....on the floor....

SERIOUSLY BEST DAY EVER!!!!

Anne Frank

My Auntie has just returned from visiting Aushwitz. i've always wanted to go there because World War 2 is a period in history that I'm extremely interested in.
The only experience I have had relating to WW2 is when I visited Anne Frank's House. Since studying WW2 in Primary 7+, I became engrossed with Anne's story. I bought her diary and read it in a couple of days. I have seen pretty much every adaptation of it. I know quite a lot about her!

When I went to Amsterdam last year, I got the opportunity to visit her ACTUAL house. We queued for about 20 minutes to get in; it was absolutely packed! I couldn't believe how large the building was! I always imagined her to live in the smallest attic ever but it was actually rather big (although still small for the amount of people who lived there). Sadly we weren't allowed to take photos which was a shame but oh well. The above picture is of the bookcase and the secret staircase. If I was any fatter I would not have managed to get up those stairs! Definitely made for skinny people!

It was fascinating to see the rooms that I have imagined so many times. I found the whole experience rather emotional. The worst part for me was the large picture of Otto Frank staring into the annexe. I just felt so sorry for him. He had lost his whole family because of one brainwashing man. Just shocking really.

my favourite comedian atm.

Born This Way Ball

I am unbelievably excited for Lady Gaga's new tour.
The Monster Ball was probably one of the best experiences of my life and there is no way in hell that I will miss this tour!

Tonight she released the first 11 dates of her tour (which were in Asia and Australia) so hopefully she'll release the Europe dates soon so I can plan!!

Hurry up Gaga!
