Sweater Weather *TAG*

Uh...
I don't have an introduction for you..
...

~

Its Tuesday!
We're going to make Tuesdays "Tag Tuesdays"!
Hahah
alliteration
hah
Today I'm doing the
Sweater Weather Tag!
Yay for sweater weather!
*throws hands in the air*
Yay!
Let's get started.

~

1. Favourite Candle scent
I don't burn candles...but I like caramel smelling things during fall.
2. Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?
I drink Tea everyday. But on special occasions I'll drink hot chocolate.
3. Favourite fall memory?
When I was younger and all of my sisters weren't married/in college my sisters and I used to make leaf houses, that was always fun.
4. Which trend? Dark lips or winged eyeliner.
Dark lips, no question. I can't do eyeliner.
5. Best fall fragrance?
Lately I've been wearing Be Enchanted by Bath and Body Works.
6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?
I really like stuffing, but my sister always makes a cheese ball for Thanksgiving and that may take the cake.
7. What is Autumn weather like where you live?
Like, stereotypical fall weather. Leaves change colour, it gets colder, lots of scarves, mittens, layering, its overcast a lot.
8. Most worn Sweater
This one! I've lived in it.
9. Must have nail polish for fall?
Merino cool by Essie
10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
Leaf piles.
11. Skinny jeans or leggings?
Both?
12. Combat boots or Uggs?
Depends on the day. Usually Uggs.
13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
I don't drink coffee, but every other pumkin spice flavoured thing I've had is.
14. Favourite fall tv show?
Uh...
15. What song really gets me into the fall spirit?
Originally it was Chocolate by The 1975 however, now I think its Through the Dark by One Direction.

~

All right!
There you go!
The sweater weather tag!
This whole nonsensical theme thing might actually work for me!
It like gives me something to talk about!
Woot!
That is...
if I can figure out something for tomorrow...
hmmm...
anyway!
Love you guys!
Byeeee!!

My thoughts on 1D Day and #MidnightMemories

Why is it a hashtag?
No one knows.
If I knew how to play the album with this post I would.
But alas,
I do not.

~

Hello!
It's Monday here on this non wittily{< is that real?} named blog!
And you don't know what that means because we've never done this before!
To be honest I don't know what it means either.
But we're going to talk about One Direction!
Why??
Because its been a weekend LOADED with them of course!
1D Day
the AMA's
And now the release of their newest album 
Midnight Memories!

~

Now to be fair, I didn't watch the AMA's but from what I've heard
they won favourite Pop/Rock album with 
"Take Me Home"
and
favourite Pop/Rock group.
Aww so proud of the boys.
They beat out Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift for this one.
sorry swifties

These boys have been doing quite well when it comes to awards this year
with taking homes various awards such as
best song of the summer at the VMA's
and
best pop at the EMA's
and with our very own Harry Styles snagging best look.
can't argue there
Speaking of style,
let's take a moment and discuss the outfit choices of the boys at the AMA's
Michael Kovac/AMA2013/Getty Images for Dodge
first off
they're colour coordinating again
and my little heart just can't take it.
secondly
Liam's jacket? I want it. I want it now.
and Zayn's blazer? Ugh.
Stop it. All of you.
No don't stop I can't handle it.
Louis' new hair is just, beautiful. I love it.
Over all, they just look dashing
as usual.
bless them.

~

As a thank you to all of there wonderful fans
as if they need to do any thing more for them
the boys put on a SEVEN hour live stream on 
Saturday, November 23, 2013
I can't even begin to explain how truly entertaining this was.
The boys really showed how much they love their fans.
If you happened to not see the live stream here's a list of what you missed.
- Shirtless, sweaty Harry.
-a reenactment of "Ghost"
-Harry pottery
-Liam wrestling a professional wrestler
-the boys dancing to "Talk Dirty To Me"
-question's with Piers Morgan
-Wrong Direction
-Liam and Harry modeling on a runway
-Tyler Oakley
-Simon Cowell with Gabby the dog.
-Harry getting excited over babies.
-Toddlers describing the boys
-Niall eating brain
-Harry eating grasshopper
-Harry hating on bubble tea
-Harry almost breaking his neck
-Granddad Jerry
Just to name a few.
Overall it was a very "productive" and entertaining day.

~

And now, on to TODAY.
Today is November 25, 2013
and One Direction's newest album
Midnight Memories
has just been released.
First off
this album's sound is quite different from their previous records.
It really shows how much the boys have matured and grown as artists.
However we still have the over all pop/boy band feel mixed in with the new indie rock sound.
Meaning they're still recognizable.
Seeing as this album has JUST been released I can't give you a proper review quite yet.
We'll just make that a follow up post.
I will, however, tell you this.
So far
my top three tracks
{in no particular order}
are
Story of My Life
Through the Dark
Happily
with
Strong
and Diana
coming up close behind.
All right that's all for now!
I love you guys!
I hope this was new and exciting for you.
I enjoyed it so..
Maybe it will be a permanent thing!

Why are so many posts something along the lines of "This is who I am as a person!" Because I have absolutely nothing else to say. I'm not an interesting person {clearly} and I don't have a very interesting life.
Unless Isa and Emma are over then its so intersting that we should have a reality show because we are HILARIOUS.
Anyway.
That's all.

I'm definitely planning on doing more things along these lines. I don't really have a theme to my blog and honestly I'd like to keep it that way, maybe I'll have a different theme for everyday?
like...I dunno I'll think of something. Hahah.
Anyway, I'm done for now.
I'll talk to you guys...when I talk to you guys.
Who knows how soon that will be hahah.
K.
Bye.

Fairytaleing Prologue

 You know, I never asked to be special. I really didn't. I didn't want to be, I don't want to be. I was never one of those people. No. I didn't want that. Any of it But there comes a time in a person's life where they just have to take a step back, suck it up, and accept what fate has in store for them. Whether you liked it or not. And if we're being perfectly honest, as a general rule I didn't like it.
My name is Shaeli Homston, I'm sixteen years old, and I'm not crazy. This is not a product of night terrors or anxiety. This is just my life.
Growing up, I often wondered why I had to be so different from everyone around me. I never thought that maybe there was a reason I saw the world differently, why things happened to me and not to others. I never understood why I always had to feel like an outcast because I was somehow separated from reality. I would see things, hear things, things that would keep me up at night because I was so scared of what might happen if I closed my eyes. It was not the life that a little girl should have been leading. However, looking back, things began to make sense after a while.
I'm having a difficult time trying to explain these things without sounding like a madman. Don't try and read between the lines and take from this that I hate my life or any other nonsense, I don't. All in all I had an amazing childhood, sure my parents weren't in it, and until recently I didn't remember anything before age seven, but my grandfather loved me and I never wanted for anything. I was very fortunate. I was just troubled. But who isn't in one way or another?
Anyway, I hope this gives you a little bit of insight as to who I am, and why I am the way I am. I'll give you a fair warning:

Don't judge a book by its cover.








Because, why the heck not?
I'm thinking I'll post parts of this every now and again. This will probably be re written again sometime soon.
But for now this is the prologue of my book!! [insert cheering here]
I definitely want to add more to this.
And I probably will.
Until then, enjoy.
K byeeeee!

Well hello

I have no idea how to title ANYTHING.
But really,
hello
it's been a while.
I have a super extra special post coming soon,
but
to hold you over
{and because its really not special at all}
I'm blogging right now.
To be honest I have no idea how to go about this blogging thing.
I have nothing to say.
NOTHING
I could gush about Harry Styles
but who wants that really?
No one.
But that is currently what my life consists of
Harry Styles.
Its disgusting.
But he's lovely
so it's okay,
right?


...


Anyway, I'm writing a book. Right? Yes! That's a thing!
It is a thing that is in progress and actually almost has a sold plot line!
PROGRESS!!
Its beautiful.
But even that I can't say much about.
However, it feels real good to be writing again.
Even if most of it is rubbish
RUBBISH
but WRITING nonetheless.
Its a good thing.

What else
...
at this current moment my ankle is swollen up like a balloon
and
my hair is driving me mental.
I'm also listening to One Direction but that's beside the point.

I don't know how to use tumblr
I feel like that is a notable thing to mention.
I'm trying to learn because I'd like to get more involved in that.
But I'm clueless as to how to work the bloody thing.
{Hi I'm in America so I can say that, I'll have none of this "That's a bad word!" nonsense.}

I had my first dance performance yesterday.
I also rolled my ankle yesterday
which caused the swelling like a balloon.
However, I didn't roll it at my performance
{As if I could be SO lucky}
No,
I rolled it just before I had to leave.
It was rough
absolute rubbish
and I'm just so angry at myself.
 The performance went quite well, all things considered.
a few hiccups here and there
but overall good.
My ex was there.
Why am I telling you this??
It was interesting.
I do like seeing him,
but things are...
complicated.
Oh well.
He was very concerned over my condition.
But he should know better than to tell me to not dance.
There will be none of that.

Moving right along then...

How about...
STALK ME!!


K baiiii!!!
