I ended up liking ‘The Dirt’ more than ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. There, I said it. I’ll tell you why.First off, as everyone on Twitter is fond of saying: “How are these guys still alive!?” It sums up the whole film nicely, so you could technically stop reading here, but please continue…I started watching ‘The Dirt’ with low expectations and limited knowledge of the four guys that...

I can’t say a song has ever saved my life. Nor could I sit here and tell you a band’s existence has ever had to inspire me out of dark thoughts. I’m lucky, but I can empathize with those who do credit music and musicians as their saviours.I am not a very religious person. If I have ever experienced any kind of vision it has been through music. At a ‘Blink 182’ concert one of the opening...

“It’s just a few blocks- You don’t drive?”“Driving is so easy!”“Does it bother you that you don’t drive?”“The bus sucks though!”“You’ll need your license if you live on your own.”“It’s good to have in case of an emergency!”Above are some examples of comments I’d heard on a loop for eleven years – until I did get my license to drive a car. Eleven years. That...

So, here’s a story. When I was younger I wanted to pierce my tongue. Split my tongue, actually. Like a snake. I had seen it done on TV - probably on some TLC show. TLC used to have the best weird stuff. I lived for shows like ‘Miami Ink’ and ‘My Strange Addiction’.Well I didn’t split or pierce my tongue. I decided that I probably wouldn’t be able to handle eating food with a tongue...

Please note that I am absolutely an amateur writer, but have been asked by a few people over the years for story writing advice. So the snippets of advice I’ll give you here are things I too learned while stumbling along in my own writing. (Still stumbling).I will be referencing original characters in the last fan fiction I wrote throughout this for examples.Developing a character from...

Some of my high school writing notebooks“Hey, Cat, what’re you writing?”These words literally made my heart race and my face flush in high school. Because how do you explain fan fiction to someone who doesn’t know what fan fiction is? Or knows and thinks fan fiction is bizarre? Well, guess what, I did a whole presentation on fan fiction in university. And apparently it’s really not that...

Oops, guess I started my own blog. I’m aware you should have a niche for blogs but I have no set goal with this. I’m just here to ramble and have fun. I am not a good cook, I can’t tell you how to construct cute Pinterest crafts, nor do I follow the latest fashion or makeup trends. So come ramble with me on subjects varying from mild anxiety to SEGA games and why and how fan fiction can act...

I've been missing Mibba, but because I'm (currently) no longer posting fan fic and instead concentrating on writing an original novel, I haven't had much to post.So I thought "Maybe I'll blog!". But couldn't really think of what I wanted to talk about. Until now. And because they just recently released their first record I'm going to talk about a local band I've liked for literal years now....

Hi anyone who stumbles across this!Just recently (two weeks yesterday, actually) I saw Simple Plan open for Blink 182 where I live. They aren't playing a headline show here (at least not one us fans know about yet), so I might just have to accept that as SP's show here for the next four years. I can't complain much though. Not only did they make those 45 minutes count, but when Blink took the...

I thought this would be a pretty good first blog for my Mibba.And it starts like this:I met Frank Iero.Something that you should know about me is that I have a bucket list. It started off as a joke with friends when I was seventeen and it’s sort of just been this thing I like to keep up – mainly just for fun, but it really does feel great to cross something off of it.On it includes things such...
