Only a short post today, but I have been making a throwback playlist for a few weeks of songs I used to listen to in primary school or the early years of high school and I'm rather pleased with it so here it is:



Klar and I thought that in typical fashion we'd review a whole year! 2016 has widely been regarded as a highly crappy year (something about Mercury in retrograde lmao??) and some of this review does reflect that, but we also have our favourite albums, memes and other lovely things!

Favourite meme



A: Joe Biden memes for sure. My friend Ana and I especially enjoyed them, but in a dark time of political turmoil, I love how the world reduces the current Vice President of the USA to the world's most passive aggressive man.
K: Kermit 'me to me'

Most annoying meme

A: Damn Daniel without a doubt
K: 'fucking damn Daniel'




The general consensus here was that it was an unfunny thing in the first place, which was then done TO DEATH but couldn't be made any funnier or create different jokes.

Favourite purchase of 2016:

A: Fluffy socks
K: Fluffy dressing gown

Best artist we discovered:


The Japanese House: it was really relatable music from an artist that isn't very well known. We discovered them around the same time but I absolutely love it: ethereal kind of alternative pop.

Favourite song:

A: Fat Fingers by the wonderful clipping.
K: 7 by Catfish and the Bottlemen

Favourite album:

A: The Ride by Catfish and the Bottlemen. CATB are one of my favourite bands (roll on Reading next year!!) and I wanted 7 as my favourite song, but so did Klar so I settled for the whole album which I adore. Contains the beautiful Soundcheck, Oxygen, and Emily which I put on a mixtape I've made for my friend Emily :)
  

K: I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It by The 1975- so beautiful, read our review of their live performance with the Philharmonic Orchestra here


Most annoying album:

A: Busted's Night Driver, which is such a bloody disappointment. My 2000s were filled with 'Air Hostess' and 'Year 3000' and was so excited to hear about a new album. This? Bleugh
K: The Weeknd's Starboy (sure to be a big success) because I used to love the Weeknd and I hate his new album.

Favourite film:

A: Girl On The Train. I loved this film, having not read the book, despite Emily Blunt's ambiguous accent in the opening monologue (is she English?? Is she American??) :)
K: Finding Dory: it was adorable and hilarious and made me smile!

Favourite book:


A: Nicci French's 'Friday On My Mind' which is the fifth in a series that I'd highly recommend. It's a crime psychological thriller-y thing that is gripping and so suspenseful.
K: Black Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin. It was about healing and overcoming things that you never thought you would and falling in love, all with a thrilling murder mystery story spun together.

Favourite quote of the year:

A: 'Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love and love cannot be killed or swept aside'
This was my quote of the year, in an awards show acceptance speech, in reference to the terrible Orlando shootings. 
K: 'Don't expect me to be sane, I can't, not with you'
I found it while I was reading 'Girl on the Train' and I loved the sentiment behind it that he's so madly in love with her that he can't even comprehend being rational around her.

Favourite tv show:


A: Gilmore Girls! I have watched all 7 seasons this year while ill, and I'm starting the reboot, which was actually released this year.
K: Game Of Thrones; it's exciting and dramatic, and the costumes and characters are fantastic and this season was no different!

Thing we're most grateful for from 2016:

A: My friends probably <3333
K: James because he makes me happy.

Biggest 'fuck politics' moment:

A: The bigotry throughout and in the days directly following the Trump campaign.
K: Brexit, see my viewpoint here and Amber's here.

Biggest dick of 2016:

A&K: Joint honours go to gtc for living up to his name, and Trump, for the horrible sexist/racist comments made, and breeding of hatred.

Relationship status throughout 2016:

A: In a relationship, single, dating someone, in a relationship with someone else, single now.
K: Single, seeing James March-August, in a relationship with James until present. 

Favourite makeup product of 2016:

A: Benefit Goof Proof eyebrow pencils, which are actually properly dark without being black, like my eyebrows. My ex's sister waxed my eyebrows and one appeared to grow further out than the other, which I was super self-conscious of.
K: Unicorn Horn makeup brushes: they're pretty and colourful and soft.



Celeb death that affected us the most:

A: Alan Rickman, who I've seen in films ranging from Love Actually to Harry Potter, or the inimitable Prince, of whom I saw a beautiful cover of Purple Rain in June, and everyone was singing along together.
K: David Bowie, who was so special to me as a kid.


Proudest moment of 2016:

A: I got the chance in the summer to debate at a camp and by the end, I felt so proud of myself, because I made so many friends and didn't feel out of my depth :)
K: Passing my driving test because I worked really hard for it, and my driving instructor didn't think I could do it, so I proved him wrong.
Today my best chum in the whole world officially becomes a Highly Responsible Adult, so here's a little tribute post because I love you lots! I know I wrote you a v long card but here's something for your actual birthday :)


Firstly HIPPIE BUFDAIII KLARA LARAAAAAA! It feels like it was only a couple of years ago when we had Top Bantz at your uncle's wedding and danced like white dads at a barbeque at various parties and when we rang that guy from school with the really weird voicemail with my friend Niamh. Random little meet ups like when I went to your house and we went on a long walk across the fields and we ran through the entire plot of Miranda.

(These photos are from 2015 but I can't find any from the Miranda era because I think it was before the invention of the iPhone? 😉 )

It feels almost longer ago that we started to chat on email (did I imagine that?) and then kik (lmao who does that still) before we had the Epic Adventure with Lollies, which was followed by many cinema trips and lots of fun!!


That September, our friendship was *almost* torn apart when we got v v v v v drunk, I made an EXCELLENT fire against all of the odds, weather and disbelief in my skills (see photo). Twas a fun night with nuggets and the cinema the next day and I managed to slide down a wall while putting pyjamas on, and killed my foot for the next six months. But I think we learned that I am not subtle when drunk (later reinforced at Mandypalooza when I was Very Unsubtle in who I thought was fit *dies of shame*)!!



So after that I didn't see you for ages and ages (such sad, much cry) until Sammie hosted her Christmas party, which was cute too, involving river walks, middle fingers up at restaurants belonging to twats, matching Starbucks, green face masks, not to mention on-CUMMING traffic! 


It was finally 2016 and I was thinking 'ooh yay Klar will be able to drive so I'll see her loads'. We went to Birmingham and went into all the photo booths we could find to have adorable times.

 

This theory was okay until you got the plague and I saw you only once, and felt very sorry for you, but got the cutest card and a mixtape and a fancy man's aftershave to get you through the ordeal. It was the beginning of your new life as Kclara, which was Starbucks' fond name for you. Names since have included Clara, courtesy of gtc and Kara, another Starbucks blunder!

We didn't see each other again till Mandypalooza. lol. That's all I'm saying. Ooh, and also I managed to take a really fit picture of you for your facebook profile, and the WORST photo ever of us two. Too hideous to show. Ever. Then I didn't get to see you for yonks because you got a boyfriend who is a good egg and I got one who was a complete knob (is there a theme with me?!), but when I also contracted the plague, you came to see me for my burfdai, and cheered me up lots with Burfday Bangerz and lollies and hugs.


Our friendship, however, isn't just the times we see each other, because sometimes they are few and far between. It's the fuckboy list, our many appreciation societies, the Depreciation Society, our love for Doge, The 1975 and 2000s tv shows and movies. YOU'RE A NU*implied t's*ER GORGAH. 



You're the best my chum!! It makes me a bit sad in some ways because you're growing old and next year you'll be at uni. However, we'll probably see each other the same amount as we do now, and it'll be cute as ever. So, you're 18 today and when you feel sad, just remember that you're funny and kind and even when you think you're mean you're still sweet, otherwise how would you have such an AMAZING person as me as your BFFYEWYDWM (best friend for yonks, even when you don't want me ;) ). 

Love you lots famalam, have a great burfday and I'll probs see you in about 8 months <3333
