Things that Rock!

A short blog about things that i think rock and make me happy.


Heroes - this is a given, considering it's me.

Glee - it is actually full of glee!

Epiphanies - those moments of pure clarity make everything seem good.

Those songs that make you think deeply/ make you happy to the core.

The freedom of having a car and knowing you can go anywhere.

Motorways - even getting lost on them is relaxing.

The cool side of the pillow and blanket.

The total relaxation before you fall asleep.

5 more minutes in bed.

Seeing uni friends after a holiday.

Spending lots of time with uni friends.

The sense of achievement - from work, academics, sports, games or just general success.

Meeting those happy people that make you smile.

The excitement of the airport before you go on holiday.

The thrill of flying.

The happiness you feel when you check your phone and you have lots of messages.

Having a best friend.

When you look in a mirror and think you look good today - in a non vain way.

Thin days.

Those stupid things that make you laugh uncontrollably for hours and hours on end.

The drunk where you don't feel sick - and you don't get a hangover in the morning.

Looking at the pictures after a drunk night out.

Playing with Cal's camera on his Mac.

The relief when work is over.

The full feeling after a good meal.

The 'wow' feeling when you see something incredible - views, art, dusk, dawn, the colour of the sky.

The sense of knowing after finishing a novel.

The excitement at starting the next book in a series - this can be a new book in general.

When you get something new - clothes, phone, book, game, gadgets, etc.

Realising that you have a pretty awesome life.


There are more things that make me happy but they aren't coming to mind so you'll have to wait for it.

Stay happy and think about what makes you smile.

Dream eating and women in white.

Me again! Obviously it's my blog, haha.


To start me off i'll go for the thing us English students should enjoy most: BOOKS! The first of these is called 'The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters.' It is my favourite novel, as some people should know. It's a tad hard to describe or even place among the genres of other novels. It's sort of thriller, fantasy, Victorian, erotic, etc, It has many varied styles. It took me a few times to actually start reading it and i was utterly engrossed when it happened. It follows the events of three characters, Miss Temple, Cardinal Chang and Dr Svenson and how they get entangled in the diabolical plans of an evil Cabal. Now in this tiny description i probably haven't given it justice because it is a fantastic read. The language can be a little hard (though that may just be me :P) but the story is so intense and gripping you can practically bypass anything that you dislike about it.

My second book is one i had to read for Uni called 'The Woman in White.' This isn't my favourite, obviously as the one above is but it was one of my favourite old novels. Written by Wilkie Collins this novel again is gripping. Within the first 10 pages you are engrossed by a mystery of this woman in white. I can't praise the story in this enough, it's a large novel, don't get me wrong but i was not bored once. I loved it. Once the initial mystery is solved there's more in store when it turns out there's an even bigger plot twist in store. There's narration, diaries, letters, loads basically! For anyone that likes mystery, go read it and anyone that likes any other type of novel, read it too. :D
