In this Pointless Book video I tear some corners off the page, make a time capsule and write what I did for that day with my left hand. It was an eventful video haha.
If you want to see the video you can click below:
The first thing I did was tear some corners off the page which is simple enough. Gotta say I feel weird destroying a book, it goes against everything I believe in...
The next thing that I did was create my time capsule! I wanted to do this early on in the book so that it would be a while before I opened it. So below are the things I included in my time capsule...
A photo of my best friend Ashleigh looking hot:
This photo was from 2012 hahaha oh the memories.
A Christmas card from my friend Lauren from 2014 because why not?
My school timetable from my last year at school because those things are very memorable. I mean you had to live this two week routine for a good eight/nine months of your life, yet you still manage to forget what class you have third period...
And finally I wrote down some things I wanted to remember about myself at this time in my life. Like the amount of YouTube subscribers and Twitter followers I had along with the things I am currently obsessed with. Because these are the important things you want to remember about yourself lol.
I don't know, I just want to see how far I've come by the time I open my time capsule, maybe I'll have stopped making YouTube videos and finally closed my Twitter account. Maybe I won't be able to stand another Glee song cover...you never know....(I did have a photo for this but it was blurry and so I could not include it...)
All that was left to do was glue up the two pages.
I have decided not to open the time capsule until the book is finished. That way I am bound to forget what was in there in the first place. I know I can always look back on this blog post or my YouTube video but I promise not to cheat....
The final thing I did with my Pointless Book was write what I did that day with my opposite writing hand. This turned out not to be too terrible. I mean it might have been easier if I didn't do it with my camera on a tripod between my legs but even so I think I did a pretty good job.
My friend Bryce also did a version of this page when we were at my friend Georgie's house one night. Which I will post below:
As you can see his hand writing was a lot bigger than mine and on top of that he wasn't leaning on a desk haha.
Let me know who had the better opposite handwriting in the comments.
I have to say this was quite a fun part of my Pointless Book to fill out and I am not quite sure why. I think it's just because I am really sentimental and I enjoy keeping memories and things like that. I guess that's why I can share so much of myself on the internet. But no matter what the reasons I will always cherish the memories, they're the one thing that won't change.
But yeah I definitely look forward to opening my time capsule again, and of course I will film my reaction for you guys because it's always fun to look back on things...just don't get too caught up in the past you forget your future. x
It's been forever since I have posted a blog post! For that I apologise. I know I still have two episodes of the Vampire Diaries to talk about but I have been really busy with school and YouTube. In case you didn't know I am currently doing Vlogmas. Which means vlogging everyday until Christmas so it is taking up a lot of my time right now.
Anyway...in this Pointless Book video I am talking about my celebrity crushes!
Now if you know me then you know I have a lot of celebrity crushes so picking only five was hard. But I think I picked some good ones. And plus they all belong to a TV show/movie that I really enjoyed and I think that's important haha. I mean what is a TV show or movie without it's good looking actors? Nothing.
Anyway on with the list...
I actually made this list a while ago and only got around to making this blog post and posting the video now. To be honest I never change celebrity crushes. Once you are up there you will probably be there forever. I mean Zac Efron has been a celebrity crush of mine since I was 11. And those feelings don't go away haha.
So I'm going to take some time now to talk about all of these wonderful men.
Jamie Dornan Okay if you don't know I love him then you must be living under a rock. I mean Jamie has definitely been my man crush of 2014. I was introduced to him as clean-shaven Christian Grey but I got to home him as the dark and bearded serial killer in the Fall and then really fell in love with Jamie himself. He's such a great guy and I think he's an amazing actor. The fact that he modelled for Calvin Klein doesn't hurt either. As one of the up and coming actors on this list I am very excited to see where he goes after Fifty Shades and the Fall. I mean he's really good at playing that dark twisted type of person who likes to have power over women but I haven't seen him in much else. I suppose I should look into it haha. But yes I am definitely going to be sitting front row and centre for Fifty Shades in February....
Robert Pattinson
Rob was definitely a huge crush for me from about 2011 to now. I mean it definitely took a while for me to become Robsessed. But once I did I was definitely hooked forever. I obviously knew Rob in Twilight. But back then I was unsure of his appearance. I mean okay I may be a little bit shallow basing this on looks alone but I did for a while. Especially with Rob. But after Water For Elephants and a haircut I fell in love haha.
As a person Rob is adorable and I love that. He's definitely my favourite actor for facial expressions because his are so varied and he always comes across as awkward which again is adorable. I mean if you haven't swooned over him at least once then you need to take a second look.
Plus just think, he could have been Christian Grey. While a part of me will always want that I am very glad we have Jamie for the part.
But yes. Rob is perfection in every way. I have always thought so. Even with a half shaved head at comic con that one time...
Zac Efron My crush on Zac Efron goes way back to 2007. It was the High School Musical days and his blue eyes with the Bieber cut worked for me. I mean I definitely always wanted a boyfriend like Troy when I was younger. He was so sweet. *sigh*
Plus Zac Efron has definitely been on the up and up since High School Musical. I followed him closely from HSM to Hairspray to 17 Again...lost him briefly as I got into the Twihard phase of my life and found him again recently. I mean he kind of went off the radar until That Awkward Moment for me. But I'm glad he came back.
I mean he can sing, dance, act and still look good while doing it. It's great. Haha.
While writing this I can't help but think back to those times when I used to spend ages on Zac Efron fansites finding out information about him haha. I mean I'm not going to lie I have done this with Jamie and Rob too but I feel it's more significant since Zac was the first.
He will always hold a special place in my heart. Especially because of High School Musical. Once a wildcat, always a wildcat, <3
Chace Crawford
For the longest time I thought he was Ian Somerhalder's double haha. There was a photo comparison of them ages ago and I just remember thinking they looked similar. However that was when Ian was in Lost and was younger and since then they have definitely grown and look completely different. To me anyway.
I fell in love with Chace Crawford in Gossip Girl. Nate Archibald was the guy I wanted to date. He was perfect.
But yes, I think the only place I know Chace from would be Gossip Girl. So I don't have too much to say about him other than he had that typical cute boy, Bieber hair thing that almost everyone on this celebrity list had at one stage - apart from Jamie I believe?
I mean I feel like there's a theme running through my celebrity crushes...could the Bieber cut be it? haha
Ian Somerhalder
Last and certainly not least is Ian Somerhalder. Vampire Dairies bad boy Damon Salvatore. Yes. It took me a while to like him though mainly because of his Damon character but with the way this series is going I am very much a Team Damon person.
Anyway yes, Ian Somerhalder is the definition of tall, dark and handsome. I mean have you seen him? He's older than all of the guys on this list but you wouldn't think it. He's adorable and is such a gentleman.
From following him on social media you can see he is actually a really good guy plus he has his own charity the Ian Somerhalder Foundation which is working to protect animals. It's inspiring.
I love Ian because of the type of person he is. I mean who doesn't like a guy who loves animals? Plus seeing him as Damon on Vampire Diaries and being all romantic and what not is very important to me haha. I like to imagine Ian is that charming in real life too...which isn't that hard to believe really.
And there you have it. My celebrity crushes. I don't even know if half of what I blogged made sense to you but it makes sense to me haha. But yeah, I suppose celebrity crushes are just a bit of fun to have, you can gush over how hot/cute a celebrity is with friends but in reality you'd be happy enough with someone who would stop and give you the time of day.
As you can see I take my celebrity crushes really seriously but I guess that's because no one else has taken interest. But we shall see if that changes as time goes on...
If you guys want to check out the video of me talking about celebrity crushes it is below:
I filmed it so long ago I don't even remember what I said but yeah. Let me know who your celebrity crushes are and if we have any of the same. Because if we do I believe we could become really good friends haha. :)
Would you rather is something that is very popular on YouTube however when people ask YouTubers would you rathers they are all really sexual or really gross...I am so glad that The Pointless Book found a happy medium haha.
So if you want to watch the video of me answering these "Would you rather" pages, it's below:
As for the actual pages, this is the first one.
I have decided to go through all of them and give a brief description of why I chose them. I know I already did this in my video but I feel like I can always explain things better when I have had time to think about what I am going to say haha.
Would you rather...
Have wings or fins? I chose wings because flying in my opinion is much cooler than swimming. Also I have a fear of the water, even though if I had fins I'd be okay? I don't know. I'd just rather be up high in the world. Considering I am not a tall person it would be like exploring a whole new world
Have sweets for dinner everyday for a month or have a pint of curdled milk? I feel like this one is self explanatory. I mean I don't even have a sweet tooth but drinking milk that's gone off is a no go.
Have no elbows or no knees? Considering I am not that active of a person I think I could live without walking. Plus I need my elbows so that I can have hands so that I can use my computer, duh.
Be in a cave of spiders or snakes? I hate spiders a lot. So snakes is probably best...I mean I wouldn't cope well in either situation but I feel like snakes would be more bearable...
Swim with crocodiles or sharks? Neither seem to appealing but why do I feel like sharks sound less threatening than crocodiles? I have no idea...
Drink your own urine or eat your own vomit? Um...again I'd rather not do either but urine seems not as bad as vomit.
Fight a horse sized duck or 100 horse sized ducks? I don't think a duck would be too much hassle to be honest...
Have legs as long as your fingers or fingers as long as your legs? Again I'd need to have my regular fingers so I can use my computer and stuff. And besides, who even needs walking anymore? You can get almost everything delivered to your house.
Be sexually attracted to fruit or have Cheetos dust permanently stuck to your fingers? I feel like you could probably live with loving fruit. But not being able to get something off of your fingers is just unbearable. Especially crisp dust. Ugh.
Speak any language fluently or be able to speak to animals? Not a big animal person so I feel like being able to talk to them would be a waste. Plus learning to speak another language can benefit me in the future. Plus if I said things under my breath in a different language people would have no idea what I was saying so it's a win win situation.
This was also the page where we got to scan and see Alfie's answers! Honestly, that whole thing was a bit fiddly to do because I was holding my phone weirdly and it stopped working and it was this whole ordeal but I did manage to get it sorted.
I won't give away Alfie's answers but I will say that we actually answered a lot of them similarly...which I think is very interesting haha.
To the second page:
I was sad there weren't as many questions to answer on this page but I do have to say these ones were harder to answer. But I was finally able to choose.
Would you rather...
Be boiling hot or freezing cold? As much as I like heat, I don't think I would physically be able to cope with being boiling hot. Sweating is so gross.
Have your computer memory wiped or have your past and future web browsing history available to everyone? I have a lot of things on my computer I'd rather not lose. Plus my internet history is mostly fangirling, stalking people on Facebook and looking up hot guys shirtless. No secrets here.
Drink a cup of public swimming pool water or sea water? Chlorine is horrible. So sea water seems like the better option. Plus it doesn't say how big the cup needs to be. It could be tiny.
Hiccup for the rest of your life or feel like you have to sneeze but can't for the rest of your life? You always feel satisfied after you sneeze so I feel like if we didn't have that we would crack up so hiccuping it is...as long as they aren't the violent kind...
Listen to one song for the rest of your life or never have to listen to the same song twice? Probably the hardest choice out of all of them to make. I mean I only listen to a few songs more than once and eventually I would run out of songs to listen to if I couldn't listen to them more than once. So I feel like choosing one song to be my anthem forever is the best. I'd probably go with High School Musical.
Not be able to use the internet or not be able to listen to music? I have lived on the internet for my entire teenage life. How could I ever give that up?
And there you go. Those were my would you rather choices. Do you agree with them?
These things are always hard to answer because you always try to find exceptions and conditions to the would you rather statement that defeats the whole purpose of the game. Even so....having to make choices like this make me realise I am probably not equipped to make any big decisions anytime soon...Even though I just applied to university...
I have such optimism! Haha.
But yeah I really like sitting and filling in these Pointless Book pages. I also like it because it encourages me to be productive because I want to film a video and make a blog post on top of just filling in the page itself. I know it seems like a lot of work but for someone who doesn't have a job and has a lot of free time it's definitely a hobby I enjoy.
So I hope to continue it...I have no idea what to do when the book is completely finished. But I think that's something to think about closer to the end...
So until then let's enjoy it while we have it shall we?
A lot of things happening in this Pointless Book video! Not a lot to blog about but quite an entertaining video that is for sure. :)
I hope you enjoyed the video. I mean I kind of did. Looking back I realised I do look like a complete weirdo but I think these are the things we like to do for the internet sometimes.
Below I have a screenshot of my notes page in case for some reason you wanted to have a better look:
I'll never know why I chose to put some ICT homework notes in there but I will definitely look back at this and wonder what the heck it means haha.
I also have a photo of my random tweet - well not my tweet - the one my friend tweeted from my account:
Oh the memories.
But yes, I do seem to have cleared through quite a lot of pages with this one blog post but this is still the start of things there are so many pages I have yet to do. And I will not stop until I get through them all. Well I might stop sometimes...but I will complete this book! I am determined to!
Another update from my Pointless Book! Can you believe it has been a month since I last filled anything in? I can. It sucks that it's been so long.
Anyway, today we revisited my favourites page! If you want to check out my post from last month click here.
So surprisingly not a lot of my favourites changed which kind of makes for a boring blog post and video but I still filled it in as required haha.
Above is my completed page, as you can see not a lot has changed. But still I will give you an overview of why these things are my favourite just because I don't know how well I explained them in my video:
Book: Fifty Shades Darker- this one is the same as last month. Nothing too exciting about that. Plus I haven't exactly read anything else since last month so I don't really know how I could have a new favourite. I should probably get back into reading...
Song: Do the Catwalk by Girls' Generation (SNSD)- I discovered this song one day on iTunes and I kind of fell in love with it. I don't exactly know why but I am all for Girls' Generation songs, especially now since Jessica is gone I definitely treasure their songs as a group of 9. I mean I will continue to support them without Jessica but it's still sad. Anyway, this song is just really cool, I don't know how to describe it other than that it's just really different from a lot of their other songs and I really like it.
Colour: Black - I doubted that this was going to change from last month I mean I've had the same favourite colour since forever
YouTuber - I actually left this one blank this month mainly because I couldn't think of a YouTuber that really stood out to me this month. I just really love all my YouTubers equally and so I couldn't choose between them all haha.
Friend - As I explained before I think it's mean to choose between your friends and so I left this one blank
Blogger: Tyler Oakley- He is my queen and will forever continue to be
Video Game: Sims 4- There hasn't been many new games out recently and plus I haven't exactly had time to play any so Sims 4 is still my favourite
Film: Twilight - If you didn't know I am a Twihard. I even made a whole video talking about this. I just don't know what it is about the story but I am in love with it and it is definitely one of my favourite movies of all time.
Website: YouTube- I use this on a regular basis and while TweetDeck was fun I have reverted back to using my regular Twitter feed for the most part.
And those were all my favourites! I know not a lot of them changed but I didn't know if any of them would or not. I mean a month is a short period of time. I suspect these will definitely change over years but who has time to write down their favourites every year? Oh wait...some YouTubers lol.
Anyway since it had been a while since I had filled in part of my Pointless Book I also decided to do the page before my favourites page and that was the page that asked you to take a bite out of the page. This is what mine ended up looking like:
As you can see it did leave a huge rip down the middle of my page and that's why I am so glad I took a photo of my favourites page before this happened. News flash: those pages do not taste nice lol.
If you guys want to watch the video where I take a bite out of my Pointless Book and I fill in my favourites it is below:
I know I haven't filled in a lot of pages as I said but I have filmed a few more Pointless Book videos to go up soon and so you will be getting more blog posts to go along with them. Yay! :)
I completed another page of the Pointless Book!
Today is the "Favourite Ever" page where I talk about my favourite things! I was really excited to do this especially because you can go back in a month and update it. This is very important for someone like me who changes their mind about things all the time, my favourite things don't stay favourite for very long haha.
So below is what my page looks like:
For this book I am trying to use handwriting that is clearer to read because I normally have joined up hand writing and it can be hard to read sometimes so I will be printing in this book.
As you can sort of see at the top I wrote the date that I filled this page in so I know what date to come back to and fill in this page again. I also thought I would take this opportunity to talk through my favourites a little bit more. I have made a video in which you can check out below although I don't know how well I explained my favourites there so hopefully this will give you more clarity.
My Favourites:
Book: Fifty Shades Darker- so this is the second book in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy and I really loved it. Now I know these books aren't everyone's favourites but I can't help but admit that I do like them. I know they aren't the best written books in the world but I am a sucker for Twilight fanfiction which is probably the only reason I read these books because otherwise I don't think I would have taken an interest. Anyway, the second book is my favourite because so much happens in it. I mean a lot happened in the first book too but by the second one you have really gotten to learn a lot about Christian and Ana and their relationship definitely takes a more interesting turn in the second book. I don't want to say a lot but this was the one that I definitely couldn't put down. Also one of my favourite things to do with published fanfiction is try and work out who the original characters were from the fanfiction because you know Christian and Ana started as Bella and Edward...so I do like to put that puzzle together and in my head I think I've done a pretty good job haha.
Song: Fun by Troye Sivan - I am obsessed with this song I mean I'm obsessed with the entire TRXYE album but this is one of my favourites, next to Happy Little Pill this is the song that stood out the most to me. I am not even sure why since the lyrics don't exactly apply to me or anything but the beat of the song and everything is just so catchy and good. So I really love it. And of course I support all the YouTubers out there so TRXYE is a must. :)
Colour: Black - Well...I mean...as a teenager who fell in love with Twilight at an early age I was easily converted into that time in your life when all you want to wear is black/dark clothing. I mean everything looks better in black. Plus my bedroom walls might be bright blue but that doesn't stop me from putting up black Twilight posters everywhere...so yes I do love the colour black.
YouTuber: Tanya Burr - Tanya is one of the YouTubers I recently watched over summer and she is one that sticks out as my favourite. I am not sure why I picked her out of all the others but I think it's because lately she is the one that sticks out the most. I love her vlogs and she's so cute and happy all the time and I think she's a great person to have in your life even if it is just through the computer screen. She definitely brightens up my day and so that is why she is one of my favourite YouTubers
Friend: So I had to leave this one blank because I was not about to put out there into the world who my favourite friend is. I think it's mean to pick a favourite friend especially when you have quite a few really great friends you can't choose between. So...sorry about that. Plus I know if I put out there who my favourite friend was on the internet my friends would be asking about it and some may be taking offence.
Blogger: Tyler Oakley - So I don't know if you have ever checked out Tyler Oakley's Tumblr but I definitely think it's something you need to do. Tyler is the best. I mean his posts are always hilarious and I don't know where he finds them but I am constantly reblogging him on Tumblr all the time. I could have picked a serious blogger for this category but I don't really follow any serious blogs beyond the ones YouTubers have and Tumblr blogs and that is why Tyler Oakley is my blogger queen.
Video Game: Sims 4 - Without a doubt I love this game. I know it's only new but I have been so excited waiting for this game that now I finally have it and I need to play it as much as possible! I am sad they had to remove some of the big features of the game but at the same time I am so excited to learn more about this new sim world and can't wait for all the new expansion and stuff packs. Sims has always been one of my favourite games ever and so this was a no brainer.
Film: Mean Girls- If you have never seen Mean Girls then please don't talk to me because it is one of my favourite movies of all time. I mean if you haven't seen my blog post where I talk about the 10th Anniversary then you obviously don't know how deep this love is. So yes, Mean Girls always has been and always will be one of my favourite movies.
Website: TweetDeck- So I once saw Zoella check Twitter in one of her vlogs and I noticed it looked way cool and wasn't a regular Twitter feed. Turns out she was using TweetDeck. And me, being the avid Twitter user I am had to get it immediately. I love it. I mean okay you don't really need it but I think it's great. I don't know if I am the only one who is like this but I do like to see my own profile on Twitter and also check my timeline a lot so to switch between the two can get a bit annoying so when I found out you could use TweetDeck to open both at the same time I thought it was the best thing ever and so this website has quickly become my favourite.
And those were all my favourites! I didn't intend for this blog post to come out so long but if you want to see the video where I fill in this page it is below, check it out because I would really appreciate it and I look forward to filling in the rest of my book! And I will also see you next month for an update on my favourites:
I have completed my first page of the Pointless Book!
I have decided to start my Pointless Book off with a good old fashioned game of MASH. I actually really like playing MASH and have an iPod app where I can create my own MASH games with a lot more categories so I am very familiar with the game. I have also seen several YouTubers play it and it's very interesting and funny to see what kind of results that you get with it.
Obviously this game is a bit of fun this will definitely not tell you how exactly your future is going to turn out but we all like to pretend that it does!
Here is the video below of me filling in this page in my book:
This is what the finished page looks like:
So I am going to marry Alfie, live in a shed, have two kids and live in Germany. Sounds like a good life haha.
Honestly though when I play this game I do tend to only provide myself with good options and that way I will not be disappointed with the outcome although it can be fun to mix it up a bit. I guess I am just a bit boring that way.
And so this marks the very first page of my Pointless Book that is complete. I don't know how to feel about this. I mean it's not that big of a deal but for me it is because if I get a book and you can write in it I try to do it in the best way possible - which means not screw it up. So I tried to take the utmost care with this and make sure it a huge mess and a failure haha.
Anyway I am super excited to start this project thing with Alfie's book because I think it is a good way to keep up my blogging since I feel I don't do it as much as I can and it also keeps my YouTube going. I don't know if I want to make my videos for this unlisted or not though...just because I feel people won't enjoy seeing them all the time...I don't know. I will figure it out on the way...
I got my copy of The Pointless Book today! I am so excited to have this book!
My plan is to document how I fill in my Pointless Book for however long it takes me to go through it because some of the things you can do in this book are a bit more than just writing something down on paper. At least if everything is documented here then you know I have actually completed a page in the book instead of just saying I have done it, when in reality I have not haha.
I'm so ready to do this and I hope you guys will follow me on my Pointless Book journey. :)
