Breakfast's Ready, future anna!

(beep)

I love pancakes. hopefully you still do future anna. well, as tomorrow is pancake day, I thought I would jot down my favourite pancake recipe (I found it online a few years ago), so that it is written down for future reference, as I ALWAYS forget the measurements when making them, so here you go future anna. ENJOY!

If you are not future anna, hello. WHY ARE YOU READING MY MESSAGES?!?! nah, that's ok! This recipe is vegan, diary free, and can be switched up to whatever you have in your cupboard. if you have almond milk or are not bothered about it being vegan, use a different milk substitute, if you want to use an egg rather than a banana, feel free, but you might want to add a little sugar. It's completely mix and match-able.

INGREDIENTS

1. 3/4 cup of flour (i use plain white, but feel free to use whatever flour you have. Experiment!)
2. 1/2 cup of soya milk (feel free to use whatever milk you have available, or even water but i haven't ever tried that so can't say what it's like, you may need a little more than this, read on to see why!)
3. Half a Banana (you can use this a substitute for 1 egg. I use the other half of the banana as a topping)
4. Oil for the pan
5. A sprinkling of sugar if you want your pancakes to be sweeter!
6. Your toppings, or decorations as I like to say. you have to make your pancakes look pretty!

METHOD

1. Cut the banana in half (or use the whole thing if you want to double the recipe, I do this if I am having pancakes with my brother and sister, but half is enough (maybe a lil too much) for one serving!) and mash it until it resembles scrambled eggs, or mashed banana.
2. To the mashed banana, add the flour and milk. If you have used an egg rather than a banana, you can add sugar here too. Feel free to add sugar even if you're using a banana. Experiment kids, but stay safe! Mix until you get a kinda cake batter consistency. You want it to be pourable, but not super runny. make sense? It won't be super smooth because the banana won't be super smooth, but you will know when it's right. feel free to add more milk if it isn't quite right. I normally have to do this because I am an idiot and can't measure correctly. When you are at this stage, you are ready for the next step.
3. Now you have your pancake batter, you can go ahead and cook it up. If you want to go a little crazy, feel free to add chocolate chips, fruit, nuts, sprinkles, or anything else to the mixture! I have tried this with blueberries which was very tasty! Try the others at your own risk. This makes really tasty pancakes, or alternatively, you can just decorate with these after. After heating up your pan and adding oil (I normally go for a medium heat, turning it up and down depending on how hot it gets. I use vegetable oil and have never tried any others so I can't comment. I also no longer have a normal oven. I have an aga. woo. so I use the simmering plate. Heat up the pan and add the oil. take the pan off of the plate to add the mixture, and then put it back on. this just allows me to spread out the mixture so it doesn't cook suddenly as I can't change the heat), add some of your batter to the pan, cook on one side until ready (you know it's ready when the sides lift from the pan slightly and the side looks a golden brown colour), flip, and repeat the cooking process.
4. I find this amount makes 3 regular sized pancakes, but could make 2 large ones, or 5/6 small ones. After you have your pancake stack ready, you can either eat them, or decorate! I use the other half of the banana, and normally golden syrup, but the day I made these, I had chocolate spread. What is your favourite way to decorate them future anna?

 ENJOY!

 

Ahh I love this recipe and hopefully you still use it future anna! I think I might jot more recipes down in the future because I normally end up making something and forgetting how I did it. hopefully you enjoy them future anna! anyway, enjoy pancake day tomorrow, and any pancake day in the future!

p.s. hello if you're not future anna. what do you like on top of your pancakes? I also recommend strawberry jam and cream!

 



Call Me About Your Current CD Collection!

(beep)

hello future anna, as you know and probably still do, I like CDs. a lot. I love holding a physical copy of the music I love by artists I admire so so so much. it's such a magical feeling to hold it and play it. I was going to start collecting records, BUT THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE!! Maybe you have started collecting them future anna? well, I thought I could do this post about the CDs I currently own, and then in a few years, you can do it again future anna to see how your selection and music tastes have grown. so... on with the collection!

from left to right:

1. OF COURSE WE HAVE KATY PERRY FIRST!!!! well, katy Hudson first. I got this on ebay for about £20 a few years ago. it's probably a fake but I will never know.
2. Katy Perry - One of the Boys. I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO SO SO MUCH!!
3. Katy Perry - MTV Unplugged. this album and dvd are the most beautiful things ever. seriously listen to katy's cover of Hackensack!!
4. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection. ok, this needs to be switched with teenage dream, but this was the first Katy album I bought as this was when I first started to really like her.
5. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream. again, needs to be switched so they are in release order, but these songs are incredible.
6. Katy Perry - Prism. THIS ALBUM IS THE FIRST ERA I WAS PROPERLY PART OF FROM THE START. I love it so much and has so many special memories for me. hoping to get a tattoo one day to represent it!
7. Bastille - All This Bad Blood. so I bought this album as soon as I got home from leeds fest 2015, after seeing them live. wow. so beautiful. i'm probably a bad stormer as I don't have 'bad blood', but it's all in this album so there is no need. I might treat myself to it one day though.
8. Bastille - Wild World. THIS ALBUM. CAN WE TAKE A MINUTE. like katy, I adore bastille so so so much. this album was the one I was there from the beginning with so again, it means to much to me. again with the tattoo idea, I want to get a joint one with this and the prism album of a triangle. if you follow either, you probably know why!
9. Lana Del Rey (OR SHOULD I SAY LANA DEL BAE?!!?) - Born to Die. this album is so beautiful. I really want her others, but again, money. I have them all saved on Spotify and her new song 'Love' is beautiful.
10. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend. I love this album. If i'm ever in a bad mood, I stick on this (or pencil full of led by paolo Nutini), and just dance around to all the tunesss. I haven't really listened to their other music, but maybe one day I will get round to it!
11. The Vaccines - What Did You Expect From The Vaccines. I love every song on this album. I haven't really listened to the vaccine's other stuff, but their first album is brilliant! My favourite song from it is Norgaard.
12. Charli XCX - Sucker. If I ever need to listen to a really good pop song, I stick on charli xcx. I haven't listened to her first album, but I really love all these songs and she is amazing live!
13. Twenty One Pilots - Vessel. this is the second TOP album I bought after I got to love their music through blurryface. I don't have their first album, but listen to it a little on Spotify. it is my goal to learn every word to everyone of their songs/raps!
14. Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface. THIS ALBUM!! I first listened to TOP through this album and I love it so much! each song tells a different story and really inspires me a lot.
    
15. Florence and The Machine - Lungs. this is the only Florence album I own, yet I love it so much!! I can't even remember how long I've had it for so as far as I can remember, it has always been part of my collection. the songs and Florence's voice are stunning, and even though I don't own any more albums from her, I listen to her quite often on Spotify.
16. The Lumineers. this is their first album and I first picked it up in a charity shop because I liked a few of the songs on it. I didn't listen to it for ages, but recently I have been playing it NON STOP!!! I now know every song, and can't wait to buy their new album 'Cleopatra' which is just as incredible. my favourite song from that is 'Ophelia'.
17. Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More. when I went to leeds fest 2015, I knew that mumford would be headlining the Saturday night. a few months before, I treated myself to this album and 'Babel' so that I could listen to a few of the songs I didn't know before I saw them perform! I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH! and my favourite song from it is 'Dust Bowl Dance'.
18. Mumford & Sons - Babel. like 'Sigh No More', I am OBSESSED with this album. it took me a little while to really enjoy it because I felt that a lot of the songs are very different to their first album. my favourite song from it is 'Ghosts That We Knew'.
19. Mumford & Sons - Wilder Mind. Even though I listened to this before I saw them live for the first time, I didn't properly buy it until after. I love how different this album is from the other 2 but Marcus' voice still OWNS ME!! I love 'The Wolf' from this album, and they always play it as the encore, so when I saw them live the second time, I went CRAZY!! haha, have you seen them perform it since future anna?
20. Mumford & Sons - Johannesburg. This is a small collaborative album mumford created whilst touring in south Africa. the songs are incredible, and I recommend a listen whether you are future anna or not. 
21. Melanie Martinez - Crybaby. wow. this album. if you still look like a 5 year old when you are reading this future anna, you probably still understand how relatable this album is in many ways. I love the storybook melanie has created and can't wait to see what her next album has to offer!
22. Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park. KACEY IS MY PRINCESS!! I picked up this album after I heard her sing with Katy on an American show. I loved her show much and how country, yet modern she was and still it.
23. Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material. As soon as this album was released, I bought it and played it non stop. still do!! I was lucky enough to see her perform my favourite song 'Fine' live, and it was so incredible. future anna, please tell me you still listen to Kacey!
24. Swim Deep - Mothers. how do I even describe this. one day I was pottering around my amazon wish list and saw this as a recommendation. I liked the album art so I listened to a song from swim deep on youtube. I ordered it, and the rest is history. I love this album, and if i'm ever in an odd mood where I don't want folk, pop, country, rock, or something else, I put this on! I haven't a clue if swim deep have any more music available, but I might research it later on.
25. Muse - Absolution. This CD used to belong to my older brother but now it's mine! wahahah. I don't listen to muse much but it has some sentimental value because of the other album of theirs I own.
26. Muse - Black Holes & Revelations. this is the album! well, it has the song on it. the song is 'knights of cydonia', and it has so many memories. the first time I heard it, me and my brother were in his car on the way to argos, we jammed to it on repeat all the way to the shop and all the way home. I love it! so when he moved away, I was given this and 'Absolution' to jam out to as often as I wanted.
27. Kate Nash - Made Of Bricks. as far back as I can remember, I have always loved the song 'foundations' by kate. I saw this album on ebay once and I bought it. I don't listen to it as often as I should, but if i'm ever in an angry, wanna be a pop slaying princess, mood, I stick it on straight away!!
28. Paloma Faith - Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? I bought this album along with the olly murs, and Bruno mars ones, when they were on sale in sainsburys a few years ago. I had always wanted to add them to my CD shelf as they have such amazing songs on them. I really need to listen to Paloma's music more, especially her new stuff.
29. Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal. is that how you spell it? I don't even really know how to say it! haha! I bought this after I saw them perform at leeds fest 2015. I really enjoyed their set and generally listen to this album if I need to scream along to something. normally when I am home alone. I like a few of their other songs, so might treat myself to a few of their other albums one day, but until then, this one will do me fine.
30. Miley Cyrus - Breakout. one of the oldest CDs I own. I was given it one birthday from my mum and dad along with some other Hannah montana/miley cyrus goodies. I have never really listened to miley's stuff since this CD, apart from the big songs like 'Wrecking Ball'. I love her style and how she isn't afraid to be herself, so I make a pledge to listen to more of her music! I wonder if you have any more of her albums future anna?
    
31. McFly - Room On The Third Floor. Found this one in the charity shop. it has some classics on it that were played at every party in primary school and I know every word to them. I wanted to listen to more Mcfly, so when I aw this, I got it!
32. Pet Shop Boys - Discography. Another charity shop find. even though we have every pet shop boys album in the house, I wanted my own copy when I saw this on the charity shop shelf. this means I can play it in my car (when I hopefully have a car when I've learnt to drive) and jam.
33. Madonna - The Immaculate Collection. everyone needs a bit of Madonna on their CD shelf. I picked this up recently at a charity shop, mainly because of Madonna just being Madonna, but also because I once did a monologue at college based on Madonna. I listened to quite a lot of her stuff to get into character, so it brings back memories of then.
34. Scissor Sisters - Ta Dah. another I picked up at a charity shop. I don't think I would have bought it if I had seen it on amazon, but I wanted to have it, because of all the Scissor Sister songs I sang in choir in primary school.
35. Bruno Mars - Doo-wops and Hooligans. The second CD I bought at Sainsburys. I really like Bruno Mars, although some of his stuff is a little too mainstream (I feel so disgusting saying that) for me personally. but I really like this album.
36. Olly Murs. This was the final CD I got that one time in sainsburys. I really like the song 'Busy' on this album which persuaded me to buy it. I like this album because it's nice music you can have playing whilst tidying as it cheers me up. I need to listen to it more, but i'm not that bothered about listening to his other stuff. i'm sure it's good, but I think i'm gonna stick with this album.
37. LMFAO - Sorry For Party Rocking. right, I would never have bought this CD. and I didn't, but it means a lot to me. my friend Faye bought it for me for my birthday many years ago as at every party, we would dance and shuffle to LMFAO. it brings back many happy and hilarious memories, and I don't think I could ever part with it, even though I hardly ever listen to it.
38. Glee - The Music: Best of Season One. I used to be OBSESSED with glee! me and a friend even went to go and see it live in Manchester with the cast and it was the first concert I had been to in the arena. this album means a lot to me as gl

So that's all the CDs I currently own. As you can see in just this list here, there are many more CDs from just these artists I want to own, never mind all the others I want. I wonder if you own all the CDs on your amazon wish list future anna? I understand this collection might be small compared to others, but I love all the CDs I own, and would own many more, if they were slightly cheaper, and Spotify didn't exist.

ALSO, there are so many more CDs I would own, but don't need to because someone else in my family has them that I can borrow (e.g. ABBA, Ed Sheeran, Tom O'Dell, Blondie, Disney, Dire Straights, Adele, The 1975, etc), however I probably will buy them when I move out, unless CDs no longer exist, or I have too many that I can't fit them anywhere.

Now, I think I have always been a fangirl. the first band I freaked out over was S Club 7. THEY WERE THE BEST!!! I was even part of their little online fanclub and got sent tattoos and cool notes and things. however, when we moved house, the worst thing happened. I lost it. it was really sad, and I really want to rebuy it, but it won't be the original one I had, and I can still listen to it on Spotify. So, that was the first CD I owned. the next was the Hannah Montana Album. can we take a moment for Hannah montana. THAT WAS MY JAM JAM JAM!! and still is tbh. haha! I still have the CD and the lyric book, but the plastic case broke. I keep it in a little CD wallet along with the rest of my collection, but didn't show it. sorry. apart from these 2 situations, and a few CDs that I have found at charity shops that are slightly damaged, I try to keep my CDs and their cases in the best possible condition. it makes me so happy which is probably the saddest thing I have ever said! Anyway, without further ado, and ignoring all the broken cases and loses, this is the longest CD and case I have/owned. It's the Miley Cyrus 'Breakout' album and I still know every single word. do you still future anna? It is a chapter of my childhood where I was at the end of primary school and beginning to find myself. the fact that Miley was doing her own thing aside from Disney stuff inspired me so much! and it is one of my favourite albums. EVER.

Next, i'm going to show the 2 albums that I CAN SING EVERY SINGLE WORD TO! if a gun was held to my head and I had to sing every song, I would survive. I would risk my life. The first one is Katy Perry 'One of the Boys'. Even though I didn't have this album when it first came out, I feel like I have made up for it by how many times I have played it. Just like the miley cyrus album, it inspires me to step out of my comfort zone and get my dreams. the first song I heard from it (and katy herself), was 'Waking Up In Vegas', and it is still my favourite from this album. The second album I know every word to is 'Sigh No More' by Mumford & Sons. when I got this, I PLAYED IT NON STOP! I would ask my mum if we could play it in the car, and i'm sure my family know every word to it as well because of this! I love the different instruments and of course MY LIFE IS IN DEBT TO MARCUS' VOICE!

And finally, I thought I would mention my go to albums. these are albums I reach for when I don't know what mood I am in, but always make me feel so happy! I chose these 6 because it would make the picture symmetrical, and I couldn't leave any of them!! haha, whether listening to them on Spotify on the bus, or in my room with the CD, one of these albums is probably playing! I really recommend them if you aren't future anna, and are spying in on our call, and if you are future anna, hey! I hope these are still some of your faves!

The Lumineers, The Vaccines (What Did You Expect from the Vaccines), Vampire Weekend,
Lana Del BAE (Born To Die), Bastille (All This Bad Blood), Katy Perry (MTV Unplugged)

So that's it for this post future anna. I think if I wrote anymore you might die of bordem unless you are already dead. oh gosh, I hope I have had chance to update this before you die. fingers crossed ay! anyway, keep me update don your music purchase, and we will chat soon, byeee :)

P.s. if you aren't future anna and are spying in on our call, what are your favourite albums you own/want to own?

Un Mauvais Amour

   Un mauvais amour  

 

I don't know why I chose the title to be in French. Maybe the rest of my photography projects will be. Or even other languages. who knows? I sure don't! 

 

(beep)

 

hey future anna! happy valentines day to you. valentines day never has been, and never will be (probably) a big day for me. it's just another day. i like the excuse I have to shower my friends and my firneds and family with compliments and love, but I feel it is way over complicated and should be sad if you're not in a relationship. BORING!! haaha, anyway, I thought today would be a great day to release my little project that I have been working on... DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!! today I unveil the first ever photography project from myself. did that make sense? I love creating little sentences and paragraphs, and I wanted to do something with them but I was like: umm... what do I do??

 

Anyway, I decided to split them up into topics and create small galleries that are aesthetically pleasing, yet put a bigger message across! how exciting!!!!

 

I haven't planned how many of these shoots I want to do, but here is the first one! It is called Un mauvais amour, which is French for 'A bad love'. yes, you heard right, the first gallery is inspired by love which isn't good or safe for one or both people in the relationship. how perfect to release on valentines ayyyy?? even though valentines is about showing people you love them, it is also a great day to raise awareness of people who may not be safe in the love that they are in.

 

A few people have asked me where I got my ideas for the sentences from BECAUSE THEY SURE DIDN'T COME FROM ME AND ALL THE NON-EXISTENT RELATIONSHIPS I HAVE BEEN IN! HAHAHA LOLOLOL! no... I find my ideas from my friends and family, the news, films/tv/radio, and just random things I hear people say/see people do. The sentences you see have been written by me over a few months, so even though they fit nicely together to explain Un mauvais amour, they are all individual thoughts that have nothing to do with each other.

 

see the final gallery here: http://annasnothere.blogspot.co.uk/p/photography.html

(if this is really in the future and I have posted loads more photography stuff, it will be right at the bottom, or still in a folder on your desktop future anna)

I recommend visiting the photography page so you can see the full size photos along with their lil caption!

 

I hope you like the gallery idea future anna, and have created many more when you are reading this!

 

see you later xoxo

Call Me From Australia

(beep)

how you doing future anna? current anna has been back from Australia for nearly a month now AND I HAVE ONLY JUST FINISHED MY VIDEO DIARY THING!!!! gosh, I need to get my head back in the game! anyway, I had planned to do an artsy video diary thing, but I figured that like only 3 people will watch this video: you future anna, granny, and probably grandad. soooo, what's the point of the video?? well I decided to capture little moments of the trip and then put them together. SIMPLE! I find this more exciting then looking through hundreds of videos (sorry grandad and all the holiday presentations I have watched. I enjoy them, I just enjoy videos more.) so yeah. here is the video:

When I first put everything together, THE VIDEO WAS 30MINS LONG AS I HAD FILMED OVER 300 VIDEOS WHEN I WAS THERE!!! WHAT?!!?! anyway, I managed to get it down to 20minutes, then I went over it again and got it down to just under 15! I think this is one reason why it has taken me so long to get it done. anyway, it is done now, so you can rewatch your Australia trip future anna!

all these clips were filmed on either my phone or my cheap little camcorder. I love rewatching old films my dad recorded when I was younger on our old camera, so I wanted this to have the same effect!

let me know if you have been to Australia since this video, or if you have made any more video diaries for even more in the future future anna!

I could explain so much about the trip, but most of it is in the video.

Have a great day future anna, and be careful of the alligators!

(beep)

p.s. if you have tapped into this call and you aren't future anna, let me know what you think, and if you want to see more videos like this!

p.p.s STOP LISTENING IN TO MY PRIVATE MESSAGES!!! jk

A Curious Call

(beep)

Good evening future anna! how are you? I am quite well! thanks for asking.

anyway, this post is all about the show I went to go and see yesterday with granny. the show was something that I have wanted to see since I read the book a few years ago. it was THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME!! the show is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS sold out, so when I saw a poster for the show, me and granny went on the case to get tickets to the Manchester set of shows. we got them!! and made a day out of the play, by getting to Manchester early, having lunch (had a cheese and onion panini which was top notch), walking around media city/bbc/itv, and getting to the theatre ready for the matinee. we also saw blue peter being set up to be filmed in the evening!

ok. I hadn't read the book since I had read it a few years before when I was lent it by granny after she had read it. this meant I couldn't fully remember the story, so me and granny had a little chat about it and what we could remember. I have always wanted to see the show as I was enchanted and inspired by the book, and have seen pictures online of the set which looks as good in person as it does online! I knew that it was quite a techy show before I walked into the room, but by going through the programme, I found out so much!

I don't even know where to start really but I am going to kinda review the show on 4 subjects: actors/characters, set/music/etc, overall show, and feelings afterwards. I hope this makes sense future anna.

1. ACTORS/CHARACTERS

wow. at the end of the show I gave a standing ovation. I don't do this often, but the cast were incredible! I think I am going to use the word incredible a lot! anyway, I was literally blown away by the performances everyone gave, whether a main part or in the ensemble. something that I was really impressed with was the choreographic work (is that how you could say it??), which was devised by someone from the company Frantic Assembly who I discovered in college. their work is so incredible and really makes feelings come to life through movement. the cast were so put together, I don't think the show/movements could have been any better. everyone knew exactly what they were doing which makes me so so so happy. I can't pick a favourite character. obviously Sam Newton (his first show according to this tweet: https://twitter.com/curiousonstage/status/827132018668474368, and also shows more pics of the stage which I try and explain in the next point) who played the main part of Christopher was incredible and really made the book charcter come to life in ways I didn't think were possible. I also loved Lucianne McEvoy who played Siobhan. I think if I am ever in the play (probs won't be, let me know if you ever do though future anna!), I want to play Siobhan. She is so important to Christopher, and you could really, again, see the book character come to life. ok, you get it, I liked the whole cast, and if any of them are reading this, well done. you were all amazing!!!

    2.  SET/MUSIC/ETC

like I said, I knew the show was quite techy, and wow, I wasn't wrong. the show is set in Christopher's house, his street, the train station, and many other places, but all these places are created in a large light up box which is the stage. there will be a picture inserted somewhere which helps to explain it more. the character of Christopher loves science and math, so the neon lights often showed numbers and equations and things like that so we could kind of understand what was happening in Christopher's brain. there were so many sound ques and magical moments as well as scary things which really bought Christopher's fears to life. I thought these moments were incredible, but also made me really sad but I will explain that more in point 4. when Christopher was unsure and freaking out slightly at the train station, there were sounds like screeching trains, station announcements, advertisements, and lots of other things which were really loud, and these all went along with large neon images that flashed around the box. I can't really explain it but hopefully you remember what I mean future anna (and if you have tapped into this call, look it up on youtube or go and see the show!). I could go on forever and ever about the props and things but I won't because it will take forever to read/write/listen to this message! HOWEVER I will mention one thing. during the first half, Christopher puts together a train set which fills the whole stage, whilst he is talking to shivon. as you may know, Christopher goes to London on the train, and he decides to do this at the end of the first half, and by this point, the train set is complete AND LIGHTS UP AND STARTS MOVING TOWARDS LONDON LIKE WHAT I WAS FREAKING OUT IT WAS SO GOOD IF I WAS PLAYING CHRISTOPHER I WOULD BE HAVING A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE WHAT IF YOU SET IT UP WRONG AND IT DIDN'T GO AND YOU ENDED UP RUINING EVERYTHING?!?!?!? chill anna chill. it was incredible. that's all I will say. anyway, onto the next point...

   3.  OVERALL SHOW

so to comment on the overall show, I loved it. it was amazing and I am so glad that I was able to see it live because I have always wanted to see Christopher's world come to life. after studying drama for most of my life, I think I saw a few parts from a drama point of view, rather than an audience point of view which I liked as it meant I could analyse a few bits further to see how the characters felt, rather than just seeing an actor on stage. I think I have mentioned most of what I wanted to say about the show in the previous 2 points, but I will say that the highlight of the show for me was the ending when Christopher is explaining all that he has done to shivon and asking if he can do anything. in the book, I thought I was going to cry at the ending because it is so true. ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PROBLEMS ARE! EVEN YOU FUTURE ANNA! I can't wait to reread the book and be utterly in love with it again.

   4.  FEELINGS AFTERWARDS

I was kinda done talking about the show with the last 3 points but I decided to add this final topic because I walked away from the show with a few thoughts. we see the show from Christopher's point of view, and how he lives with Asperger Syndrome. he is 15 years old and very clever, which means he is going to sit his maths A-level. however in a lot of situations, he doesn't get the help he needs as people don't understand what is going on and just think he's stupid. this stresses me out because even 14 years after the book was written, we are still in this society where a lot of people don't get the help that they need which makes me really sad because I am an emotional person. even though a few things have changed, AND WE ARE IN 2017, we don't talk about disabilities, physical, and mental health because it is still classed as a taboo topic which annoys me so much. maybe one day everyone will be accepted and given the aid they need, and I will try my best to provide this even though a lot of the world won't.

incredible count: 6 (wow. that's a lot. at least it wasn't more)

I am still beaming with the fact that I was able to see the show with granny, and make her dreams come true of seeing the itv studios where they film coronation street. I hope when you are reading this future anna, that you have been able to see the show again and been able to reread the book a few more times. I am gonna stop typing now because this post is so long so enjoy your day future anna.
