I have been sixteen for approximately 13,208 minutes (yeah i used a minute counter BOOM!). You may be asking what happened or maybe not ? Well I'm gonna tell you...it started as an typical Saturday does i got up at 8.30 and walked to work. I spent four hours at work. It was boring but i got paid so it has it's bonuses.I got picked up from work.
Then my best friend (yeah i sound 5 and this sounds like a list but i don't feel very storytelly today) came round. She came round early, i must add because i was hoovering so i didn't hear the door...i live life to the extreme sometimes. Then my famlan went out so it was just us in the house so we watched Ali G, Due date and The Office and ordered take away and then went to bed. Yeah exciting....I know.
When we wokes up it was me Birthday. So i opened my Presents which included Skyfall and The Hobbit...my mum loves me.
Now here is the plot twist. We went out for dinner.
Now in order to understand the rest of this very dramatic day. You should know that when i was three, i used to love The Tweenies (google it). And at my 3rd birthday party at one of those indoor play things. Fizz from the tweenies came to play with me. I was smitten, i truly believed the real fizz had come to my party and danced and played with me. I believed this until about the age of ten.
No one thought to tell me that my Granma had made the whole Fizz costume and then my Auntie had dressed up. I only realised this when i found the costume in my Granma's wardrobe and confronted them. Life was depressing from then on...
Back to the present day (or rather 13,208 ago).I'm in the pub which was packed as it was a Sunday and yah know "The Sunday Carver" and everything. Also at the pub was most of my family so i didn't realise one certain person missing. I remember sitting down across from my friend and then my dad laughing his head of so loud the whole restaurant was turning to face him...either that or they had seen what he was laughing at. Because there in front of me was My Auntie. Dressed as fizz...again. I was obviously very red, very embarrassed and very shocked. They have me on video just shouting "OH MY GOD" in utter shame. while everyone else found it absolutely hilarious. My dad finished it off my shouting "Realise who it is now Abigail I hope?"
But it was still the best birthday to date. Luckily she promised no surprises for my 21st but she said nothing about my 18th....

Random Random Random...stuff
So whats happened since the last post?
I got prom shoes.
Yeah that's about it really. But what i wanted to post about today was Films. I enjoy films...as most people do. For example some of my favs: Casino Royale, Skyfall, Dark Shadows, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Avengers Assemble. The thought of being in a film sounds amazing doesn't it? I mean the money for starters if it does well, The fame, The fact you are in an actual film, the free stuff. It sounds amazing but it's not for me. I wouldn't want my private life followed, the constant snap of a camera within earshot, the arrogant film star friends, the bitterness from old friends. And just the time it takes. The time away from family. The time it takes for every scene. The time it takes in makeup. I'd be bored.
What i really want to do isn't interesting but its not as time consuming. But it's still boring.
Some of the things i really want to do though include:
-Visit Italy, America, New Zealand, Australia
- Write a book
-Climb a Mountain
The above were a few taken from my actual bucket list. I think a bucket list is a really good idea. As long as you keep adding to it. Because if not when you get to the end what have you got to live for? But then again if you keeping adding and then do die it means you never completed everything you wanted to do. Maybe i shouldn't make a bucket list because now I'm starting to think that there are more negatives. But no. I'm going to keep it. Who cares if i finish it? At least i did. Who cares if i don't finish it? I tried.
That was a very random post that took many twists and turns and ended no where in particular.
But this is the end.
No this is the end.
Or maybe this is the end.
OK this is the end.
or is it....

People i know...
It's the Easter Holidays and while i should be doing homework, I've decided otherwise. Instead i decided on a blog post to pass the time.
In which i will feature FRIENDS. I have a vast range of friends from those who will only talk about "who's the fittest lad in our year" to those who will only talk about who Clara Oswin Oswald is. But having such a mixture of friends means that I appreciate each one of them differently for their own unique set of qualities.
Firstly, my true best friend i love her although we are very different people and she's at least a foot taller than me i truly love her. I can gossip with her, I can go shopping with her, I can mess about with her, I can spend hours with her and not get bored, I can call her names, I can embarrass her, I can honestly say i love her.
Next, is Dorian...well that's not his name but he wanted me to refer to him as that. I've not known him long in fact I've only known him for what three weeks? But he's cool, makes me smile and although they can be very weird i enjoy our conversations.
Julian. Julian. Julian. Although we've never technically met you're awesome. I stay up late so i can carry on our conversations. I ENJOY proving you wrong/correcting you. And you do pretty well at listening to me.
Clara/Rose...I'm going to call you that because i can. You're the one person who i can still talk constantly like a geek to. You tell me things i don't always know. And although we don't talk often you're still cool. So please whatever you do don't forget to watch it on Saturday.. just don't OK?
Person. You're a year older than me. We used to be closer. But then things went wrong? But for the moment i like things how they are. Because i think ultimately you wanted things that could never happen and maybe you don't want that now...Now is still better than before.
I guess writing those small little paragraphs made me realise, i wouldn't want any of my friends to be the same. Because my "friends" i don't get them altogether i get them in small doses and at separate times. Its rare that any of my Friends actually meet each other...but i like that...not because its private but because people are more themselves and don't act certain ways because others are around. And i like that.
And although i didn't mention you all, in fact that's only the tip of the iceberg because their are so many people i could mention, but these five stood out because they highlighted my point...that friends don't have to be friends with each other...to be the best?

THIS MEANS WAR
So I guess I should post something seen as Person believes this is now some kind of competition. It's not its just me proving to you that I'm way more interesting.
I really didn't know what direction to take this blog did I want to be really thoughtful and inspiring, did I want to review and recommend things, did I want to write about people and things that happen. And then I remembered I'm doing this in spite of person.
Anyway I decided to write about Music. Seen as music is so diverse and creative. And today I feel creative. As Bob Marley said "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain". I like to think I don't listen to music because its in the charts but I listen because it means something or reflects the mood I'm in. Recently I've been listening to The Smiths and The Villagers. I like them because... well...they're different. They don't follow the norm.
But then again I cant help listening to a bit of Grease every now and then again, I mean who doesn't like dancing around the kitchen singing "You're the one that I want, oo oo oo". But I do really detest the people who will only like a song because of who sings it. Because not every song they sing is going to be brilliant yet most teenage girls will go crazy over whatever song their favourite boy band brings out. It makes me cringe to see them going mental because they got a "retweet" or one of the members waved at them at a concert. No they did not he waved in your direction. He see's thousands of you everyday all of you the same, all of you screaming all of you crying. It makes me ashamed to call myself a teenage girl.
Rant over I think? Just to re iterate I like music. And don't get me wrong some of the "boy bands" do bring out some catchy crap and I will sing along in the car. But there is so much music out there that means a whole lot more and is undiscovered. And the best thing about it being undiscovered is that song is still yours and you know if you put it on that millions of other girls aren't doing so with the same song. But because they have their catchy crap.

Person
The Name of the Blog I guess that's a good place to start "The Perks of a Curious Lock" well... I guess its a combination of three books that mean a lot to me and changed my perspective on life.
The first being The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The second being The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the third well the third is pretty obvious to work out if...you know me well or you know that these...yeah I say THESE books have been adapted over 750 times and he is "the most prolific screen character in the history of cinema" so yeah this "lock" is a pretty big deal.
I guess I should also question myself as to why I am even bothering to start a blog but I already know the reasons why and that's because 1) I have another week of the Easter Holidays to fill and 2) because I want to show "person"* that I have a more interesting life than him, but that will probably back fire.
So I guess that's my first post? Is that interesting? I don't know.
Oh and *person is this person I know, but because he refuses to use names in his blog I refuse to give him a name in mine. SO PERSON YEAH HOW YOU LIKE THAT?
Maybe I just started this blog so I can call him person? I like the name person...its sort of person like it suits any person. Hey Person, you just got saved as person in my Contacts...that's right I finally saved your number.
