MCM Comic Con (May 2015)

On Sunday I went to MCM Comic Con for one of my friends birthdays and it was AWESOME!!!

I don't know if any of you have been but it was my first time ever going and I was so hyped I made an adventure time sword and wore an adventure time dress!!! Can I just add in here I'm not your typical girl, meaning I don't wear dresses EVER! I hate the things because I feel naked but for some odd reason I got this dress on Saturday and decided I wanted to wear it for comic con since I was last minute.com as always and didn't know who to dress up as. 

Before even getting on the train we went to sainsbury's and most of us were all dressed up as anime characters, Teen Titan characters or just as adventure time characters. So as soon as I walked into the shop with a homemade sword I had grabbed everyone's attention and I didn't care, I just felt like I was supposed to be carrying a sword like a boss. 

When we arrived we all took loads of pictures and I made it my mission to hug anyone with a free hugs sign since a lot of people carried them around. I managed to help a guy beat his record last year of around 600 hugs and by the time I hugged him he had achieved over 1000!!!

Some examples of the cosplays were Grell from Black Butler (Anime), Marceline from Adventure Time and even Flynn and Repunzel from Tangled!!! Of course I stopped all these people and got pictures with them and complimented them on their costumes. 

Here are some pictures from MCM Comic Con 2015:

Overall I had a great time with my friends and I'm thinking about going again in October or next year with my family. Hopefully I'll do a haul of everything I got soon, if not this week then in two weeks due to exams coming up :( .

Stay awesome,

Feeling Sick

I hate being sick. Sure you get to miss school or work for a day or two but it isn't always worth it! 

I've been ill since Saturday morning where I woke up with a sore throat and a blocked nose. I felt like staying in bed and just sleeping it off. Unfortunately I had work in the morning at 9:00am. I work in a swimming pool as a swimming teachers assistant and therefore I need my voice to in order to tell the kids what to do. 

So I strained my voice for 2 & a 1/2 hours trying as hard as I could to do my job. Afterwards I helped my nan throw a charity quiz night until 10pm and felt absolutely knackered! 

Once I finally went to bed and woke up the next day I felt like dying. I spent the whole day in bed and used up about a million tissues. I felt terible. 

And guess what? I wasn't allowed to go to school, mum's orders. Normally I wouldn't complain but I knew we had a practical in computing that I REALLY wanted to do. 

So Monday consisted of staying home mopping about, watching a lot of YouTube videos, eating some ice cream to sooth my throat, sleeping and watching a few movies (but not in that order).

Anyway just a update about how I'm doing…

A small rant

So I wrote a whole post for you guys about what I'm looking forward to in the summer and things I just wanna do in the summer, however it didn't save -_- it took SOOOOO long but hopefully I'll be able to recreate it when I'm in the mood again.

Right now I'm sat out in the cold after work with wet hair (I'm a swimming instructor's helper) freezing my buns off with this British weather. Why am I sitting outside? Well it's because my dad is suppost to pick me up any minute now with a still hot Mc Donald's!!! 

I know, I know, I'm SO unhealthy especially since summers coming up but after work I just need food ASAP because 2 and a half hours in a swimming pool is surprisingly really energy draining. Also the water was really warm making me lazy. I mean come on a being in a warm pool whilst it's really cold outside is a great feeling, right?

Anyway this is just a short post of me ranting a little bit. 

Stay awesome,

My bookshelf

Like most bookworms I have a bookshelf piled with books that I have and haven't read. Recently I've noticed that whenever I go out I somehow end up in a bookshop buying a minimum of 3 books at once! I wouldn't mind this habit of I actually read these books before buying new ones. I tend to buy 3 books, read one and then buy another 3. I also do this thing where I start a book, buy another one then forget about the old book and start the new book. I have loads of bookmarks hidden in the middle of random books. Some examples of half read books/ series are the following:

(When ever I mention series I actually own the whole series…that's what makes it worse)

•I stopped reading after the first book of the hunger games

•I never did finish TFIOS since the movie came out before I finished it 

•noughts and crosses series!

•to kill a mocking bird 

… and loads of others

Since I've noticed this habit I've decided to do something about it! I am not going to allow myself to buy anymore books till I have finished reading the ones I own!!!

It's going to be a challenge for me but I want to try before it's too late. 

I'd love for you guys to join me so I will update often telling you guys what book I'm currently reading so you can join in or comment! 

You can comment book suggestions for me to read since I'm still allowing myself to go to the library, borrow off a friend and maybe if I read enough buy some books! (I love book shopping!!!!) 

Stay awesome,

All about me (I guess)

Hello there, I've never written a blog before and just decided to do this as a spur of the moment kind of thing at 11:30 pm so bear with me. I hope you don't expect this blog to be about one thing and one thing only because knowing me I'll end up going off topic. A few things this blog might be about are: Minions? Youtubers? My life? Olaf? Anime? I don't really know…

Why call a blog Charlie? Well that's what everyone calls me of course! My birth name's Charlotte obviously because I'm a girl. Well I guess you didn't know that yet, but now you do. I know some of you may be thinking "wow -_- Charlie, very creative blog name" but as I was saying spur of the moment and I know that if I think about it too much I'll just end up stressed. This blog isn't suppost to stress me out so it's called 'Charlie' plain and simple. 

Oh and since I can't promise frequent updates because I'm not going to find something good to write about everyday and no-one wants to real absolute rambling rubbish and I don't want to write it.

Anyway, I've done enough rambling for one blog so for now I say goodbye!

Stay awesome,
