Day 15: Something or someone you couldn't live without because you've tried living without it.
Music. I need music and I value it more than air. Whoever invented the beautiful thing needs to be put on the biggest and tallest pedestal ever made. The tunes and the lyrics people come up with amaze me and then the brave ones who dare to cover a brilliant song and make it even better are even more amazing. I'm currently ridiculously obsessed with Glee like you would not believe and their songs are currently my favourite thing in the world. All I can say at the end of the day is that I am VERY jealous of anyone who can sing - use that voice because I don't have a good one!
Also, music makes me cry which is quite a hard thing to make me do - I just burst into tears at Kurt singing to Blaine on Glee (partly because they were singing one of my all time favourite songs).
Day 16: Someone or something you could definitely live without.
Spiders, most definitely. Ugh. Top of the list. End of - even talking about them makes me shiver...

I thank you but not you. I listen and I'm disappointed.
Day 11: Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
My hair. I have a sort of obessession with changing my hair colour any time I have the money to buy hair dye. I've had my natural colour (light brown), dark brown, even darker brown, black, a weird browny ginger, red, attempted blonde and most recently, brown on the top and bright red underneath. I've also gone from long, long hair to very short hair overnight and now I'm back to growing it long, long again. The more I change it, the more people seem to like it. Except my sister, but she knows nothing about fashion or hair so I tend to ignore her opinion.
Day 12: Something you never get compliments on.
Anything really, and that doesn't bother me too much. It's nice to get compliments occasionally but I don't walk around fishing for them on purpose so I won't dress like a slag so a guy will compliment my nice ass daily or something disgusting. That's about it for day 12 ... I could rant about how I don't get compliments and I'm not gorgeous etc. for a while, but I'd bore myself and most likely you.
Day 13: A band or artist that has got you through some tough ass days.
You're supposed to write a letter to the band or artist in question for Day 13, but I'm awful at that so I'll just tell you a bit about the artist I've chosen: Joshua Radin. I wouldn't say I'm a die hard fan of his. I don't have every song he's ever written/sung or his poster on my wall but I love his music. It's a mix of folk and pop music I suppose. iTunes calls it 'Easy Listening' or 'Folk.' His lyrics are pretty brilliant (Part of the beauty of falling in love with you, is the fear you won't fall for example) and his voice has such a 'I could listen to him for hours' tone to it. I reccomend listening to him if you ever get a moment because I've never met a person yet who hasn't liked his music. If I put his songs on repeat for a while, I can calm myself down if I'm stressed or really angry. On days when I've just felt horrible and wanted to curl up in a ball, his music has really helped me to just sit it out and do some good, hard thinking.
Day 14: A hero that has let you down.
I don't really have a hero. I have people I look up to and admire for what they've done with their life such as John Barrowman (although I am slighly obsessed with him, but who isn't!? He's brilliant!) who thanks his fans every opportunity he gets for putting him where he is today which is in theatres, on tv and all over the place. I suppose one person I admired who let me down is Russell T Davies. He used to write for Doctor Who and his work was amazing! I am a diehard Doctor Who fan and I loved the way his storylines went. He also wrote Queer As Folk which I adore as well and he still writes for Torchwood (A Doctor Who spin off). Now, this is where I was let down. A couple of my friends introduced me to Torchwood which is where I discovered John Barrowman. It's a brilliant show that has freaked me out on a couple of occasions. Last year, the 3rd series was aired called Children Of Earth. Instead if the usual 13 episode format there was one week of 5 episodes, with an episode each night. Each one was called Day One, Day Two etc. It was going well until Day Four when the absolute unthinkable happened. It was well known that Torchwood's favourite couple was Jack (Captain Jack Harkness of Doctor Who) and Ianto (played by John Barrowman and Gareth David Lloyd). Most of the female fans, including myself, loved the couple because to be quite honest, they're too adorable for words. So, Day Four arrives and what was Russell T effing Davies do? He kills Ianto. WHY!? Why in God's name would you do it!? Before the series started, we were promised that we'd love the developments with Jack and Ianto's relationship. I'm quite sure him dying is not a good development. I could go on about this for hours because I'm still furious about it now and so are many, many fans. Just visit Cardiff Bay to see Ianto's memorial and you'll understand the amount of upset over his death (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=ianto+jones+memorial#/d2tr0kk - picture of half of the memorial wall) The Children Of Earth completely took away everything that Torchwood was (No Hub, no SUV, no Myfanwy the pteranodon, no Tosh, no Owen who both died during series 2, no Cardiff where it was set and NO IANTO!) and I'm seriously disappointed with Russell T Davies choices. I now refuse to watch series 4 when it returns this summer. It's been turned into 'Gwenwood' now - Gwen is one of the characters who, to be fair, it was based around at the beginning but she's always just there being irritating and while everyone dies, she lives on. Right, rant over.
