Damn Darling it’s December

Heyyyyy, it’s the final month of 2017! We have almost finished 2017. I will talk more about 2017
in the end of year post at the very end of the month but now it’s all about December. This month has yet again flown by and I know we haven’t reached the end yet but it’s the 20th, it feels like it should be the 6th. Christmas in 5 days!!!! Christmas shopping is still being done over here!!!
So December, on the first day of this month I filmed something small with BBC3 which should be out in January at some point, I will post links on all my socials so keep ya eyes out for that. I went to a protest in London against the slavery in Libya. Ain’t it fucking crazy that we are protesting against slavery in 2017. But it was an inspiring day marching around London and finishing at the Libya Embassy and great to see SO many people. Super busy at uni with everything including doing a show, where unfortunately due to illness someone had to drop out two days before, the reason I’m bring this up is because I did a post last year about how I thought I was cursed.. I thought I had got rid of it but maybe I still am.. Also has everyone else been set MASSES of work to do over Christmas? Honestly I don’t know where what and how I will have time. As I have finished my job in Farnham for the year and started back in my job in Dorchester today. But it’s all part of the game right?

Okay so my No1 moment of this month has to be what I have been waiting for ALL year and finally at the very end of the year my queen, Sheezus, the boss, Ms Lily Allen came THRUUU and dropped a new song! She is back with a BANG, in fact Trigger Bang. It is truly an iconic bop and I am so proud of her. The song also features the one and only Giggs. This is the best song of 2017. You can check it out here! Now over to my best friend of 15 years, there’s only one Eva Morrissey, put your hands together for December’s No1GuestBlogger.

No1GuestBlogger - Eva
Hey, it’s Eva. Many of you probably know me as Harry’s lifelong BFF.. (sorry about it). I thought it would be easy talking about myself but it’s hard to not sound too extra. Anyway, I study Geography at Aberyswith (spelt wrong, but cba) University, I don’t love many things so I’m not too interesting, but basically I’m trying to make it through life without debt from daily Costa coffees.
No1 Food: Pizza, Pasta, Kirsty’s food, tomatoes and toast… wait I can’t only think of one!
No1 Quote: ‘you do you’ if that’s even a quote but anything is in 2017 right?
What annoys you the most: Quiet people and overly confident people
What would your 15 minutes of fame be for: Hopefully never Big Brother
No1 Song of All Time: Whitney Houston - Million Dollar Bill
No1 Song at the moment/this month/right now: Anne Marie - Heavy
Social Media Usernames: evamorrisseyxo on all, I don’t have twitter I’m too blunt for that shit.
No1 Moment of the Month;
My fave moment… the month isn’t quite up and my birthday is coming up, so I’d say my own b-day if I could. This month has been hell with heaps of uni work before Christmas because they want me to die.. but my favourite moment of the month is so cringe, so switch to another tab you’ve got open If you can’t handle it. Basically, I love romantic things. I’ve always wanted a guy to just get me a card or present on a special occasion that I’ve not had to ask for, showing all the love and affection in the world for this bitch! SO, a few days ago, shock, I got a card from my boy (James) out of the blue, showing all the cute things I wanted. However bad I felt for not getting him a Christmas card too I just died, so cringe.. the end. You don’t need a man, or woman in your life necessarily don’t worry, but for me I have already planned my wedding… VERY low key etc, I’m that bitch (Harry as Maid of Honour). Sorry if this offended you all, but Merry Christmas!
Something I HAVE to talk about;
Okay so my biggest hate in life are those people who aren’t blunt enough, it kills me! Lots of you reading will be thinking back to those times I’ve dragged people for allowing things to happen and blow over, I will always be the one to confront these bitches. I’m a nice person and can be relaxed, so if you don’t know me and are worried then don’t be, if you’re a friend of Harry’s you’ve got to be near perfect for his standards ;). The main thing that annoys me (ladies mostly) is when you’re on a night out and a ROWDY boy comes up to you or your friend and proceeds to flirt or touch you in any way even though they’ve either said no or have someone already.. or BOTH ! I cannot stand to watch these boys carry on doing this, so no matter who it is I will be the one to go up to them and tell them how it is. However, many people I know aren’t as confrontational as myself and just dismiss it even though it’s not right and it’s bothering them. Bitchiness is something we all have inside us don’t worry, so saying this is to make the world a better place with more blunt ass bitches in it.
Thanks for reading, back over to Harry!
No1 Unpopular Opinion of the Month
I don’t believe in giving sympathy. I was talking about this to a friend recently and I think I blame my parents for this. Of course I do give sympathy, but not easily. It is given to all the very unfortunate people out there in really difficult and horrible situations. But a lot of the time when people want sympathy from me they have very much first world problems, and not even problems, first world excuses and they want sympathy from me, and simply, no. But don’t get it twisted I am a very understanding person so I’ll listen and then give my decision. The best example of me not giving sympathy, and first, yes I am proudly that bitch with 100% attendance at school, college, uni and work. I am blessed with a very good immune system and very rarely fall sick but when I do I just carry on and use ‘mind over matter’ which works for me. I just can’t bring myself to give sympathy when someone has a cold and they miss a get together/party or work (and I have to cover your shift) or a important rehearsal (actors know how annoying it is when one person doesn’t come to a rehearsal). I will give sympathy when it’s due and I believe in love and care when someone needs it but a lot of the time ya bitches got first world excuses and I ain’t buying it, I don’t care if that makes me a heartless harsh bitch, NEXT.
No1GuestBlogger Eva’s opinion of my opinion;
I agree totally with this opinion, within my friendship groups, people will all know I am the last person to give genuine sympathy or invest too much of my time and emotion in their first world issues. HOWEVER, I WANT THAT SYMPATHY! …. When it’s due of course, I need my friends around me, who doesn’t? I will be there for everyone in a genuine time of need, by this I mean ‘my parents are getting divorced, or I have a disease’ as opposed to ‘the fuck boy I was getting with is now with someone else or I look fat, even though I’m a skinny bitch’. I know Haz is caring and invests ALL his time in his friendships and quite honestly, I love that because everyone knows I’m a first- class bitch and love most people, but I’m just not organised enough to dedicate my life to lots of people right now. So, having someone like Harry allows for me to know what’s what and if I look good or bad in something I think I need to buy, he will tell me straight. That’s why I’m living for it, bluntness and lack of sympathy over all our first world bullshit! XOXO.

What did you guys have to say?
Each month I do a twitter poll to see what you guys think, I hashtag with #NO1UO. With 92% this makes this my second most unpopular opinion of the year after my dislike of pets hahaha. Incase you were wondering my most popular unpoplar opinion of the year is my dislike of the sun with only 48% of you disagreeing with me. Although now in these freezing weeks lowkey want the sun back..
No1 Lesson of the Month
We are as strong as hell. I feel a lot of my friends this month have been going through personal journeys, all completely different but all completely valid and important and they are all proving how strong they really are. My friends constantly surprise me and I’m so proud of them. Like I said this month it seems everyone’s going through something but reflecting on the year even more shit has happened and we are still here proving our strength.
Byeeee
