The Day of The Doctor and my TARDIS cake ( aka a Whovian rambles)

So I'm still reeling from the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who, which was, as Christopher Eccleston would put it, fantastic.
I just thought that it was really cleverly done, and I thought that David Tennant was brilliant, and him and Matt Smith together were absolutely hilarious. The storyline with John Hurt in it, while confusing, was a great way to celebrate 50 years of such a fantastic programme.

My friends and I are complete Whovians, so we were, understandably, cOmPlEtEly OvErLy ExCiTeD for 7:50pm tonight. So much so, that my friend Rachel and I made a cake in honour of Doctor Who, shaped like a TARDIS.
While, I'm sure you'll agree, it's not the most perfectly executed decoration in the world, I would say that it clearly resembles a TARDIS.

I haven't made my mind up about Clara Oswald yet, as I think I might be too attached to Amy and Rory to let go just yet. Clara seems to be just a little too clever and confident for my liking, but I'm sure she'll grow on me.
I should probably mention that this cake was RAINBOW ON THE INSIDE, as we realised that we couldn't quite make it bigger on the inside, so rainbows would have to do. 

In other news, it is one month till Christmas eve! I am far too excited for Christmas this is probably not normal I just really like all the festivity and warm jumpers and presents and food oh the food. Food is the best part of Christmas I am salivating just thinking of alL THE FOOD.

In conclusion, I have just rambled about Doctor Who, cake and Christmas, which I'm sure you'll agree are three of the best things life has to offer.
That's it for now, keep an eye out for the next post!

First blog post and other interesting things

Hi, so while in the past I've made website things on Weebly and such then abandoned them after a week of half hearted posts, I decided today that I wanted to start an actual blog that I actually update.
While I'm not entirely clear on what I'm going to talk about, I know that I enjoy writing and I have quite a lot of opinions so I thought I would give this blogging malarkey a go.
Ideally, I would vlog on YouTube, but I don't really have the equipment (or skills!) needed for that, so typing it is.

It'll probably be useful for me to introduce myself so uh hi my name's Menna, I'm 14 and currently in Year 10 studying for my GCSEs.
Um I enjoy playing music (I have a YouTube channel), reading, writing, listening to music, drinking tea, walking and sleeping. I'm not too keen on school but then nobody really is. I don't like many TV programmes, but my definite favourites are Doctor Who, Waterloo Road, Skins (although it's finished), Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Gavin and Stacey (typical welshey) and I'm a Celebrity. I'm also really fussy about films but my top three are (in no particular order) The Perks of Being a Wallflower, This Is England and Submarine.

I think I'm going to mainly talk about music, books, general life-ey stuff and possibly a few other bits and pieces here and there, who knows.
Currently, I am dying of excitement for the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who, which is on in like 19 hours I am so excited ahHhHhH.
So I think that's it for now, keep an eye out for the next post!
