Most Embarrassing Moment Of My Life So Far Honestly, this was hard to choose, my WHOLE life is just an embarrassment and I'm not even joking, doing stupid things is just something I'm good at. However recently i did the worst thing, to date... During May 2017, I really liked this boy and for story sake I will call him 'Sunshine'. So I decided that i couldn't keep dribbling at Sunshines photos and that I would have to eventually have to talk to him.  We were talking on and off daily every day for about 4 months and by this time, I thought i had fallen in love with him. When i say fallen i don't mean like trip over, kinda fall. I mean it felt like I had ran and fallen down 10 sets of stairs. We had hung out a few times together, but we kinda always avoided the subject of liking each other. Then finally when the summer holidays came we decided to meet up and not to anyones suprize he bailed on me, but didn't tell me why.  On the 17th of Augu...

Sign Of The Times Harry Styles and his team created an amazing video for his debut single, Sign Of The Times and i think its really refreshing music video. The reason being it shows a music video from a different angle, and you can see the care and precision it took to make it.  I looked closer at how it was made, for part of it a stunt double had to take Styles' place and they had to make a mask from his face. This was to make it look seamless and that someone else wasn't taking his place.  Despite the fact that the video is not very action packed its still really interesting and I think that it needed to be calm and scenic or it would distract the audience from the song. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque which fits with the mood of the song. 

Febreze Advert There are a small amount of adverts that i actually pay attention to, but the Febreze advert is something else. It never fails to make me chuckle when it comes on the screen. Its a series of adverts which are all about other people smelling your odour but not you.  Its been very cleverly filmed and part of it actually makes you think about yourself, so their selling strategy is a good one. I also its very relatable for teens, so if its on the tv is garnered to make the whole family laugh. The key phrase that is in all of these is "You have gone... NOSE BLIND" and something about it just really makes me laugh. I think also, despite the fact that its just an advert, it reminds me of my brother because it made him smile.

Heath Ledger  Part of me wishes that i was older and that I could actually remember one of the greatest actors on the earth, but sadly I do not. Looking back I try and watches many videos and documents on Ledger. Theres no real reason as to why I do it, I think he was fantastic and insanely good looking. I would most like to meet him, because I just think he would have been such an imaginative, fun person and a joy to be with. The ideal circumstance, to hang out with him, i think would be over a meal. I would love to go to somewhere like Nandos ... or maybe somewhere more upscale, The Ritz? I would bet a lot of money, that he would be one of the funniest people. Setting a few questions before i went out with him would be ideal; "what was your favourite film to star in?" and personal questions that no one else would know the answers to. I think if i did actually get the chance to hang out with him, i would say something really silly and he would laugh... but not la...

The Last Song When I try to think of the best film adaptation of a book that I've seen, oddly I'm lost for words... Ive never really been an avid reader and i would always prefer to watch a film than read a Book. However the film adaptation of The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, is breathtaking. It stars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, two actors that play young adults who fall in love through rocky and hard situations.  The film summary mimicks a story based on love, loss and lies. Sparks creates a love story set in America,which is sure to bring tears of joy and sadness to the audience. The film includes amazing cinematography, and a very scenic set.  The book, is written beautifully and the screen play is done the same. Its one of those films that your pleased after you watch it, because you know that they have done  it justice. Honestly the actors couldn't have been chosen any better. 

Fun Facts There are thousands of facts about me that i would consider as fun, but others wouldn't. Here are just a few things, that might interest you: 1. Twitter: @lucyjanehallen  2.

The Inbetweeners world Being given the choice to live in any world, is defiantly a hard one for me, because theres so many places i would want to be, but not live. I wouldn't be able to hack Hogwarts, i would magically ruin my life, Narnia is too much drama and James Bond i would be dead in a minute. So i came to the conclusion that i should live in the same environment school but with the inbetweeners cast. The reason being, is that there would be too much banter and i wouldn't stop laughing. Even though school its the most desirable place to be, somehow their school just seems so cool. I think if i was in this "world", as such, i would be one of the characters where everything just seems to go wrong. This relates to my life completely. I find it easy to think about myself in this world because its quite realistic, its basically school but the characters never seem to be doing any work, ideal! Going on from this, i could see myself being friends with ...

Tom Hanks Sometimes you find those multi-talented actors that just seem to be amazing at everything and can master any type of role the director puts them in (subject to opinion). Tom Hanks just seems to be one of them. Just to name a few he has played "Woody" in The Toy Story, "Forest Gump" in Forest Gump, "Chuck Nolan" in Cast Away. There are multiple reasons as to why he is my all time favourite actor, and the main reason is due to the fact that he is able to make me emotionally attached, to whoever he is trying to portray in the film. My favourite film that I have ever seen him in, is Sleepless In Seattle, staring Hanks himself, along with Meg Ryan. The reason why I really like him in this film is because he is playing a fatherly figure which he rarely plays in the majority if his films. His acting is also really convincing in this film and is certain to pull a few heart strings. My favourite scene that Tom hanks is in, that is able to make ...

"The Whole Time?... THE WHOLE TIME?! " There is always that one line, from that one film, that just seems to stick with you and in the odd situations it will pop into your head. Mrs Doubtfire provided this quote; I can't manage to shake it. It simply represents the whole film for me and can just sum it all up. All the lying, acting and being someone you're not, it gives the film a refreshing realistic outlook on how a mother would actually respond to such a bizarre situation.  My favourite quote, as follows is said by Sally Fields who plays an oblivious mother. She has only just found out that her ex-husband is dressing up as a woman, just so he can spend time with his children.  The comedy produced in this scene and this quote alone, just is able to turn my mood around and overall i think thats why i love it so much. The film overall is a must watch, and i would advise anyone if they want to watch something heart warming and comical. 

Instagram  Catching up with the news, has never really been something that i was into, I'm the kind of person that hears whats happening through the grape vine. I wouldn't go out of my way to get the Daily Mail or the newest release of the OK magazine i just wait until the news goes down the line and gets to me.  However i do keep myself very updated with Instagram, i like to check it at least 5 times a day, which is so bad I know. But its just one of those things you just tend to do, when boredom strikes. I have to admit, its not the most reliable source and fake news is a common occurrence, but the sort of news i like to hear about is right at my doorstep.  The sort of news i like to get from my "news source" isn't the type of news that Fiona Bruce would be  talking about behind her table, normally its just the day to day stuff that i get informed with. For example; where Harry Styles went on holiday or if so-and-so are still dating.  ...

The Princess And The Pauper  Just like any other, little girl as a child i was obsessed with Barbie, but not the type of girl that watched the film and knew some of the words but mumbled a few because she was so unsure. No. I somehow was "that girl" but times a million. Not only did I know the songs and watched the film, I had the dolls, I had the dress, I had the musical tracks. At the time there was just something about having two people from varied backgrounds singing the same song and playing roles as one, despite their obvious diverse, almost opposite backgrounds. The fact that both women were portrayed as heroes, saving the male charters and not being set aside, just really empowered me, motivated me.  The amount of times that i must have watched this film, would make anyone cry, it was always on the tv, it just had to be. The nostalgia that comes with this film for me, personally is overwhelming, i can still hear the way the characters talked and how i tried...

Friends You can always see the re-runs on Comedy Central, the characters can always bring a slight smile (at the least) to any viewer and the plot can always rip your heart out but place it back with light hearted banter. Friends, a timeless american sitcom set in New York from 1994 to 2004, 10 years worth of jokes, love affairs and relationships. This stars some the most successful actors in the whole of the 21st century, Jennifer Aniston , Courtney Cox , Matt LeBlanc , Mathew Perry , Lisa Kudrow  and David Schwimmer . The show is a real mix of reality and wishful thinking, which really engages the audience, leaving episodes on cliff hangers so no one knows whats coming next. Its my favourite series because i could just have it on in the back ground, with urge to resist and try and give up what I'm doing just to see how "Ross" fends for himself in a tanning salon. This is also my favourite part of all 10 seasons, its incredibly funny and from all the times I...

When Harry Met Sally I have watched a countless amount of films, hours spent staring at a screen but one stands out from the rest. When Harry Met Sally. The heartwarming Rom-com ensured to bring your tears of all sorts. The four star film rated by Empire as "Wall to Wall comic Brilliance - a must for any collection", staring Meg Ryan who plays a young adult who is just finding her feet as she moves to New York. Who meets Billy Crystal ironically every five years, primarily on a drive from Chicago to New York. Over time they come from enemies to friends and finally to a little bit more than that..  The film is my personal favourite, due to the fact that you as the viewer are able to see the character's progress as individuals, with their thoughts and feelings. This movie also has very memorable moments and scenes which are explosively funny and have audiences in fits of laugher. Directed by Rob Reiner it has to be my top film of all time and i could watch it (and ...
