'He wishes for the cloths of heaven'
Hey guys,
As you might know, I'm quite a big poetry fan! Partly cause (I'll admit) I'm a bit too lazy to read entire novels all the time (and yet I study Advanced Level English Literature T_T). but some poems can capture the moods and the emotions of a thousand words in just a few lines. For me that's a huge skill and the sign of a truly fantastic poet.
I'm not quite ready to share any of my poetry here as A)I've not written very much and B) the last poem I did write was when I was like 15 or something... But anyways after seeing a few videos of things people call 'whispers' and poetry readings (as after all, poetry was made to be read aloud) I decided to make one of my own and now you can put a voice to a face.... xD
I hope you like it, this one is as the title suggests, this poem 'He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven' by W.B.Yeats and it's one of my favrioute poems ever! If you don't like my voice, I hope you can at least appreciate the poem!
P.S- I know, I suck at editing and I didn't really bother with it all, the emphasis is on the poem xD
*fixed link*
Have a great day whatever you're doing!
Till next time!
Love,
Dalanda :-) xxx

Ride...
This song just randomly came to me and I thought I'd share it seeing as I LOVE Lana and I love this song! :-)
The lyrics, melody, vocals, all done absolutley masterfully!
"Been trying hard not to get into trouble but I, I've got a war in my mind"
"Don't leave me now, don't say goodbye"
<3 p="">

I believe in a thing called love!
Is this not the best song EVER to sing at karaoke or scream when you're drunk? It's such a fun song and it always puts me in a good mood.
I have a bad habit of bursting into song every so often (but only with people I'm good friends with cause I get too embarassed around others) so if someone says something from a song, I'll always sing the song. E.G- I was daydreaming today and my friend was like OKAY DALANDA, BACK TO REALITY, and I started going BAACKK TOOO LIIIFEEE, BACKK TOO REALLITTYYYY etc. x'D
ANYWAYS, here you go! Enjoy it guys! SING ALONG, it doesn't matter if people think you're crazy, you probably actually are to the normal and boring ones anyways! ;-)
TOUCHINNG MEEEEEE, TOUCHIIINNGG YOUUUUUU
I'M SINGING ALONG WITH YOU!
Till next time folks,
Stay sexy!
Dalanda! ;-) xxx
It won't let me post the actual video... ¬_¬ Which is annoying cause it's really weird and funny! Ah well, check it out if you can!! ;-)

Trying to wrap my hair and failing miserably... :-(
Lord knows how those girls with huge weaves do it! I mean, I wanna go back to sleeping with it just tied up and left, but it's damaging my hair and my silk pillowcases are in the wash!
*sigh* Afro hair troubles...
URGH, even youtube tutorials aren't helping... ¬_¬ Help?
Hope you're all having more luck than me today!
Till next time,
Dalanda :-)
P.S- Excuse my face, I'm not very photogenic xD Promise I look better in real life! xD

Some pictures from my day...
Apparently my starbucks cup said 'Dalanda'... ¬___¬
Anyways, whatever you guys did, I hope you had a lovely Sunday!
I had little shits come to my house, wreak havoc and piss me off and I hope to never see them again. *sigh* two excellent reasons not to have kids! *refer to twitter for more angry rants on the little shits.
Till next time!

En Vouge - Don't let go...
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend,
Don't you want to be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go You have the right to lose control
Don't let go
I often tell myself that we could be more than just friends
I know you think that if we move too soon it would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied till we're taking those vows
There'll be some love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin' love
Love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin'...
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend,
Don't you want to be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go You have the right to lose control
Don't let go
I often fantasize the stars above are watching you,
They know my heart, it speaks to yours like only lovers do
If I could wear your clothes I'd pretend I was you and lose control
There'll be some love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin' love
Love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin'...
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend,
Don't you want to be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go You have the right to lose control
Don't let go
Runnin' in and outta my life
Has got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice
Somebody's gotta choose
We can make it if we try
For the sake of you and I
Together we can make it right
(Can't keep running)
(In and outta my life outta my outta my life)
(You've got the right, you've got the right, I said ayou've got the
right to loooose controol yeah)
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend,
Don't you want to be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go You have the right to lose control
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend,
Don't you want to be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go
Don't let go You have the right to lose control
Don't let go
What's it gonna be (don't let go)
Don't you want to be (don't let go)
Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
Twork it out...

My handiwork...
Sorry, the picture didn't show before for whatever nonsensical reason.
Anyways yeah, my friend had staff dress up day and I made him a zombie seeing as I love doing make up and special fx's stuff. I was kinda limited though cause we only had white face powder, lipstick and black eyeshadow/liner, but I did the best I could with what we had and the time we had. It was super fun! :D
Till next time,
Love,
Dalanda :-) xxx
Weather...
^ Look at that sun!! - I think it wanted to steal the spotlight in my picture! (Cheeky!) Either that or it just wanted to make me squint... meh, it was successful both ways (drat!).
Can't believe it was 21 degrees yesterday!!
I guess the sun wanted to come say hi and wish me a happy birthday seeing as last year it decided to take a detour and send loads of wind and rain instead!
It's been a bit cloudy and rainy and typically British today, BUT with a twist... the sun is still here... I think the weather here is starting to look up for the better! Roll on summer and all the BBQ's, parties and fun that comes with it!! :-)
I hope it's sunny and warm where you are, if not, I hope that there's warmth in your heart! :-)
Have a fantastic weekend gorgeous!!
Till next time!
Love,

Birthday
Hey sweethearts,
So it's my Birthday today! Well, it's past 12 so neh, more or less my Birthday, if you're in the wrong time zone... Come back in a couple hours! (Kidding)
So, I'm 18 today, GAH, the big one-eight, I'm not sure what to feel about this... I mean usually I don't get too excited about birthdays (Well, I did up until last year) but I got excited again this year, not so much for the birthday itself but for the fact that I'm going to be legally classified as an adult, well in other words, I CAN DO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING LEGALLY IN THE UK! They're so bloody strict here, and yet when I get to the rest of Europe, they couldn't give two shits- espescially with clubbing/drinking!
I don't even really like alcohol or clubbing, but it's annoying if you 're invited but you can't get into the place, even if you're not planning to drink (much- thank God for 20's!). I'm so tempted to buy a random alcoholic beverage (as it's law to ID anyone that looks under 25 in the UK) So they'll ID me, and I'll be like HERE YOU GO *insert cheesy grin here* ! And they'll be like oh, thanks happy birthday! And I'll be like *le happy derp face* Thaaanks! :D (don't judge me xD).
There's also the shitty things that come with not being a child anymore like responsibilities and losing a lot of benefits you got from being a child, but I think I shall just enjoy the fun side of being young for as long as I can before these responsiblilites come down on me like a ton of bricks! Just because I'm getting older doesn't mean I (personally) have to or need to change as a person... unless I'm like 50 and going around looking like a teenager- in which case, I'd need to reanalyse my life. I think, despite being a little crazy and immature in my choice of humour, I'm generally quite mature as a person and how I think so the legal title of adult might help people take me more seriously as a person and not dismiss me to be a child and therefore stupid/immature/lacking knowledge. Well, in actual fact, it's ignorance like THAT that displays true stupidity, but I won't go into that today, that's for another rant...
Anyways, not really sure what I'm gonna do today, just go with the flow I guess, and hope the teachers will be extra nice to me at college cause it's bad luck to make the birthday girl cry! (Okay, well, I don't know if it is, but I've written it, so it is now! ;-D)
I've opened one present so far as it was sitting there staring at me from my table and it IS my birthday now, and I love it! It's two incredibly thoughtful gift and card! - The gifts even included a purple (fave colour) betty book for blog ideas or as Mica amazingly put it "A muse can grip you at any given moment, and I hope with this pathetic excuse of a gift, you catch that bitch before she escapes you..." (If you reading this Mish, thank you again, it's perfect and I love you! :-*)
So yeah, definitley a great start! I feel the lurrve and so on! Hopefully it only goes up from here, despite the fact that I have some essays to write, I'm gonna go straighten my hair and paint my nails and deal with that all stuff later! Yes, I did just put off doing the most responsible out of the three things first despite legally being classified as an adult, meh!
Rule #1 of being a birthday girl- Don't look rachet. (Or so I say)
Anyways, I shall enclose a picture of Le 16 and 17 year old random Birthday snaps at the bottom for you to laugh at. :-D
Till next time folks,
Love your adult online friend! - Okay no that sounds wrong, let's try again!
LOVE,
Dalanda! :-) xxx
P.S- Contrary to popular belief, no, I am not secretly thirty...
LOL, I have the same Birthday as my History teacher from last year so we blew out the candles together :-)
PPS- Thank you to all you lovely readers! It means a lot to me that you take time out of your day to read my ramblings! I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you have a great day, week, month, year etc!

Rettuuurrnnn of the 'fro!! (hooo maaa gaaassshh) *meant to be sung to the tune of return of the mack*
Um yeah. I think I might keep it like this, I was planning to over summer but I'm too lazy to style it now, it's been dyed myself (cause I couldn't get an appointment with my hairdresser *sob*) But I'll see if I can book a styling, if not, I may have to attempt to style it myself, or just leave it bouncy...
Excuse my face, I've not been functioning well lately xD
Till next time guys!
Love,
Dalanda :-) xxx
P.S- I just realised, I've been posting loads about my hair recently, sorry if it's boring to you xD

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Boyz II Men
Hello beauts,
So I've been meaning to write this post, and I keep putting it off, but I'm on a break right now, so I've decided to write this!
Okay, so Boyz II men are one of my favrioute artists, the lyrics, the melodies, the harmonies are goosebump inducing, they're just *shudders*. When you listen to them, eyes closed, they can most certainly take you somewhere else, you can really lose yourself in the music and they've definitely gotten me through some tough times! That's what I love about music, reading and other (legal) means of escaping reality it can give you and your mind a break and you can be someone else for a little while... I tend to often lose myself in my reveries.
The joy and good feelings I get from good music really is indescribable, I think they technical term is 'musical frission'? But anyways, I read somewhere (I can't remeber exactly where) that the feelings one gets from really good music is the same as one gets from orgasming and people from musical backgrounds are more susceptible. It's an interesting study and it explains why people get addicted to making music, performing music, listening to music and can dedicate their lives to it. It's such a beautiful form expression and release, you can say what you can't say with words with music, guess that's why I love playing the blues so much, there's a certain pain in it that you can put across when you play. I don't think anyone can listen, and I mean REALLY listen to good music and not be moved.
But I digress, here's some of my favrioute Boyz II Men's songs. I hope you enjoy them! :-)
Ergh, they're mostly crappy quality, but I'd definitley reccomend you get them from iTunes, they're so good!
Girl In The Life Magazine
Four Seasons of Loneliness
Color of Love
I'll Make Love To You
They also do amazing acapella covers!
Yesterday
Silent Night
I really hope you enjoy and appreciate this, and I love sharing the music that I enjoy with you all so that you can feel some of those goosebumps and warmth in your heart that I do from when you hear a song or performance that is just...genius.
LOVE YOU!
Till next time!

Good Vibrations
This song by the Beach Boys that came out in the late 60's is so cool! :-)
The idea behind it is Brian Wilson's (who wrote this song and is the one singing and playing the keyboard) mother used to tell him about how some people give off "Good Vibrations," which is why dogs bark at some people and not others. Wilson was trying to write a song that gave off these "Good Vibrations."
It's a really nice and unusual sound and idea. Melodically, it's very different and alternative, which I really like; because some bands and muscicans try to go alternative/unsual with a different sound and unfortunatley, they don't always pull it off. But, the Beach Boys definitely do! It's also quite advanced in it's techniques and sounds considering it was made in '66!
I hope you like or can appreciate it too. =(^_^)=
Till next time,
Love,
Dalanda :-) xxx
More hair- Styling this time
I want to do my hair like this again for my Birthday!! Having NICE curls instead of my natural curl mess was fun!
Urgh! So gross looking haha!
Or, do I want straight hair?
Maybe I should go for a quiff?
Hahaha! This picture is all the way from June 2011, it was fancy dress! (I'm not sure what I was but I did my friends make-up xD)
*sigh* and a moments silence for the wonders of instagram filters for people like me that don't know how to edit and photoshop¬ Though the last one is unedited- hence le shiny face xD
So, I'm a bit confused, and you've probably had enough of my face and my styles (I could really go on xD), so if you guys have any suggestions please let me know via comments or http://ask.fm/dee2504 if the thing isn't letting you comment! (You don't need an account)
Cheers!
Till next time,

P.S- Gaahh, I've just realised, I don't know what I'm going to wear on!!
Stress/pressure/nerves
What is it? Like really, what are those feelings? Those invisible hands that can grip the core of your very being and control you like a little puppeteer.... those feelings that stop you from performing at your best when it matters the most.
Why? Why is it so hard to let go of all of these feelings? Because really, that's all they are, feelings, they don't change anything but you, they make you feel sick, they make it so that you can't sleep at night and you're nervous, agitated, irritated, ill at ease. It's only us and the poor people around us that will suffer, so why do we do it to ourselves?
In the end, what's it for, all these worries and stresses? I mean, one worries when something is of huge importance, but the problem is, unless you can stop that fear, stress, or anxiety and turn it into adrenalin, it WILL control your life and take away what you want most.
What's stopping us from saying fuck it, and doing what we've always wanted to do and saying what we always wanted to say, (lest we be judged)? Ourselves of course.
This constant persuit of perfectionism, this constant fear of either being judged or not being good enough. Unfortunatley, I like many people fall victim to these emotions and honestly, I'm feeling these emotions now as I type this. There is always a deep rooted fear of inadequacy, not necessarily always in oneself, but in what one can do, and if you can't believe in yourself, who will? If you don't have anyone behind you supporting you, what's there to stop you from falling?
You. But the problem is, it's so hard to love ourselves or to fully believe in ourselves, for various reasons, maybe you've lost your confidence, you've constantly been told you're not good enough and because of this you're scared. Scared that whatever you do will just prove them right, scared they'll laugh, scared that you will ruin your own life because you're not good enough, clever enough, hard working enough or whatever.
All of these fears and social pressure can (and have) ruined people's lives, and when you think about it, it all boils down to a few words soemone said to you, you caring too much of what someone will of you, you just not believing you can make it or you just wanting to be 'perfect'. Because of this, those familiar hands creep back up and wrap their cold fingers around you and stop you from either being or believing what you truly are- amazing.
It's not fair that we have to deal will all of these emotions and pressures with exams, work deadlines, or even something like going to a new place, meeting new people, talking to that person you want to but in the end, fuck it. Fuck those feelings. Would you not spend the rest of your life kicking yourself if you let those feelings and emotions get in the way of what, where or who you wanted the most in life?
Opportunities unfortunatley don't last forever, and so when you get the chance, you've really got to make it count or otherwise you'll spend your life thinking of all of the things you could of done, should of done, would have done better. Honestly, it's some peoples natures, some people are perfectionists and they'll beat themselves up because instead of focussing on all of the good things they've said and done, they'll see that ONE thing that's not exactly how they want it, or that word they shouldn't have used etc.
If I can share a little secret with you, honestly, I always think I can do better. I'm never satisfied with what I do and it's a horrible feeling. If I do something and people go up to me afterwards and go 'Hey Dalanda, that was great' or 'Dalanda that was really nice' or 'Good job Dee' I'll never believe them, I'll always have the inner turmoil and dissatifaction of that ONE thing I did wrong or I'll just think they're being politle and they don't mean it, and it's a stupid, stupid way to live.
In the end, these emotions, will ruin us if we let them. Really, what's the worse that could happen? If you fail/it doesn't go to plan, well then it wasn't meant to be, you can try again next time or chose another plan. Everything happens for a reason, and if something doesn't work out, it's for a reason not because God or some other higher force is trying to spite you. There is most certainly fate, and if something is meant to happen, it will, just follow your gut feelings, it will guide you to the right path as long as you don't sit back and do nothing, one must be active in seeking their fate because the opportuinity will be there, you just have to act on it.
Try to relax and take it easy, if a couple things don't go right it's not the end of the world, people probably wouldn't even notice and you'll feel better if you just let go, relax and let some things just happen by themselves- you doesn't need to control everything because it will drive you insane. Not everything goes right, but that's the fun of it! You can laugh about it and make memories of that day you went to give a speech and fell over or something like that. Just try your best, so even if the outcome isn't amazing, at least you know you've tried, if you've tried you have no reason to regret. And lastly, 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.'
Till next time,
Love,

Hurt
I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel.
To see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real.
The only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
The old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away,
But I remember everything.
But I remember everything.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt.
I will make you hurt.
I wear this crown of thorns,
Upon my liars chair.
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time,
The feelings disappear.
You are someone else,
I am still right here.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down.
I will make you hurt.
If I could start again,
A million miles away.
I will keep myself,
I would find a way.
