SO MANY NEW SONGS I ACTUALLY CANT EVEN RN

If you can't tell by the title of this post, I'm a little more than excited about how much music has been released today. (Be warned, there will be some INTENSE fangirling in the post...)

So, first of all.... The 1975 are BACK!!!! They dropped there new single 'Love Me' at 1 IN THE GOD DAMN MORNING!!!!! But it was worth loosing sleep over. Although it is completely different to what they have done in the past, the change is not bad. Yes, it took me a few times to get used to there new sound and I wasn't completely sure at first however, after a few listen I am completely and utterly in love!!!! I can't wait to hear the rest of the new album. I don't if they'll be able to top the last one but I'm excited to see!!!

Next, 5sos. They're are defiantly mixed feeling about 5sos on the internet but I love them. I went to see them live in June with my friend and it was honestly one of the best concerts I have ever been to! 'Hey Everybody' is there 2nd official single of their new album 'Sounds Good Feels Good' which drops October 23rd (when I'm in Spain so I have to wait until I'm back home to listen to it :( ) . 'Hey Everybody' is an incredible song which talks about having money issues but telling you that its going to be alright (something i can REALLY relate to). After hearing this song, and the other songs that have been released off the album I am so excited!! I don't doubt for a second that the rest off the album will be just as good!!

Last, but defiantly not least, Mayday Parade dropped their brand new album, 'Black Lines' today. I was expecting so much from this since I am a massive Mayday Parade fan and i was not disappointed one bit. The meaningful lyrics and heartfelt melodies continue throughout the entire album and you just can't stop listening. I'll be honest the album sounds more or less the same as the last few albums such as 'Monsters in the Closet' and their self titled album, however I don't think they need to change. They consistently produce amazing songs and records with incredible lyrics that people love! Needless to say, I will be having this album on repeat for a longggggg time!!

YouTube Favourites!!

Hello everyone!! I've decided to start doing this thing called YouTube favourites (it might change name if I can think of a better one). But basically, every so often I'm going to find someone on YouTube who posted a cover or anything and put them on here. So my first ever YouTube favourite is.....

This girl is absolutely INSANE on guitar. It was her cover of Cinderblock Garden by All Time Low (which you can watch here) that I first saw and from there I went to marathon every single one of her videos. She's absolutely incredible and I strongly recommend you check her out :)

This Blog.....

Okay, so I've had this blog for nearly 2 months now and I think I've finally decided what direction I want to take it. As you can probably tell by the title of this blog, I love music, therefore I'm going to turn this into a music blog. this seems like the obvious thing to do.

I feel like having a set theme for this blog will make it more appealing rather than just posting whatever crap I want. so from now on I'll be posting things like music reviews, recommendations, and anything else music related including good YouTube covers and even things about instruments and taking music exams (advice etc.).

So starting from now I'm going to be taking this blog a lot more seriously and posting regularly rather than just randomly.

I hope you guys are okay with this and I'll see you soon :)

School Worries

So this summer has gone so quick! It seems like only a few days ago that I was walking out of school on my last day of term looking forward to 6 weeks of relaxing and doing nothing. But the 6 weeks have gone way too quick and within the last week of summer is when I get very anxious.

I have a lot of worries – even more than normal, about going back to school this year. This year I go into year 10, the start of my 2 year GCSE course. Which means I’ll have to start taking school a lot more seriously than I have been doing.

This really scares me. What if I can’t keep up with it all? What if I fall behind? What if I forget something, or forget everything I’ve ever learnt when it comes to my exams.

See? All these questions and loads more are running around my mind and I don’t know what to do. The thing is as well I know a lot of them are stupid. Like I know that my teachers will help me if I don’t understand something, or that I won’t forget everything on an exam. But I can’t help feeling very anxious.

I think the one thing’s that worries me most is the fact that I’ll just be back at school. I hate school. And that’s not like a ‘oh my god I hate school so much so much homework ew’ I’m talking about the ‘I honestly hate this place with all my life, the pressure that they put on me literally makes me breakdown every other night. I’m sleep deprived and just done with life’ kind of hate.

I guess in a way going back to school will be a good thing? Seeing people again, being more productive….. Yeah that’s all I can think of :/

I really hope this year isn’t as bad as I’m expecting but I can only hope….

When are you back at school? Are you as anxious as this? Or am I just being a bit stupid? Comment and tell me J

Anyway, I’ll see you soon xxx

When I'm 18....

I’ve always been independent. I’ve always liked doing things for myself and I've always thought for myself. So naturally I’ve always wanted to live on my own, but recently I’ve wanted to more than ever.

Last night I was having a conversation with my parents when we got onto the topic of tattoos and piercings. Me being me, I really want a tattoo and maybe a nose piercing. I said this to my parents and they flipped. They told me that I ‘shouldn’t do them sorts of things to my body’ and that ill ‘look awful if I do’ or I will ‘never get a job’.

At the time I was really upset. I’ve always trusted my parent’s views and opinions on things so I obviously took what they said seriously. But now, thinking about it I really don’t care what they think.

It’s my body I can do whatever I want with it. I don’t need them to tell me what I can or cannot do with my OWN BODY. It’s my choice.

So I’m going to do what I want with my body and with my life. It’s not their business what I do and how I chose to live my life. As long as I’m happy it’s fine.

Forever

Have you ever promised someone forever?  Whether that’s a friend, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, anyone. Have you? I’ve been thinking about forever a lot recently.

I used to like to think that forever was a promise. You’d promise your friend forever and they would never leave, tell a lie, and tell a secret. Lately I’ve been thinking that that just isn’t true. Can we really promise forever??

Tonight, I went for a walk. Whilst I was on this walk I was looking around. Everything reminded me of my childhood. Whether that was a tree I always used to climb, the road I used to walk down to go to school, my actual school or even something as simple as a cherry. But one thing that really caught my eye was a house.

I know this sounds a little creepy but hear me out. This house was my friend’s house. We used to be inseparable. We would spend every weekend together and every night after school. We’d play and play for hours. Then one day it all changed.

One day I started high school. She was a year younger than me meaning that when I started high school, she was still in primary. For some reason then we stopped talking. I don’t know why. Maybe it was the amount of homework I was getting, maybe it was the worry of what people at school would think. I don’t know. But what I do know is that from that day until today, 3 years later, we still haven’t spoken.

That doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten the secrets, the stupid fights, the laughter, the games, the memories. That just means that that is exactly what they all are. Memories.

I think you only know if you loved something after it’s over. This is defiantly one thing that I loved. But the thing is, I can’t go back and change the past. Trust me, if I could I would. I’d go back and id makes sure that I never lost her. I’d tell her how much I appreciated every moment I spent with her and id tell her how much she means to me. But I can’t.

So the only thing I can do is learn. Learn from my mistakes. Learn that if I love something to never let it go. To never let that thing fall, not even for a moment. Because as soon as you do, it’s gone. Whether that’s for a day, an hour, a month, a year, or forever. It’s gone. And in that moment, you realise how much you love that thing.

So if someone promises you forever, promise me, you’ll never break that promise. Because I know how much it hurts.

I’m sorry that this post was a little sad, but I just needed to get this of my chest. I promise that my next post will be happier J.

Try ~ Simple Plan

‘I’ve never been the best at honesty; I’ve made more mistakes than I can even count’

This song. THIS SONG. Literally describes my life. I’ve tried for years and years to be a better version of me. To try and impress everyone, except myself. I’ve tried and tried and tried. Until, today. I’ve suddenly come to a realization. I can never live up to anyone’s expectations because there expectations aren’t me.

Trust me, there expectations are based off where? Probably moves, books; fiction. I’m not fake, I’m not made up, I’m not some character in a book that you can mold to fit your version of perfect. I’m a real person.

These people can try and intimidate me to become their version of perfect but I’m not doing it anymore. I’m not changing myself to fit in with them.

You probably know that I love music. I love writing it, singing it (even though I’m not good), playing it, listening to it, everything about it. Music isn’t the coolest thing to like at my school. A lot of people look at me like I’m weird or I’m not good enough, especially because I don’t like particularly popular music either.

But you know what? I’m sick of trying. I’m tired of trying to be someone that I don’t want to be and someone that I don’t like to be. I’m sick of it. If I want to spend every lunch in the music room, THEN I WILL.

Because you know what, I am good enough. I’m good enough for me and I’m good enough for someone else out there. Someone that I don’t even know yet, will fall in love with me one day. And they’ll love everything about me. My flaws and imperfections. My edges, my doubts.

So, I don’t need any of them two faced bitches that are in my school now. I don’t need them to make me feel like I’m not good enough every moment of every day. I don’t need them to make me feel like a piece of shit and like I can’t achieve whatever I want to achieve I don’t need that.

So this is what I’m saying to you. You don’t need negativity; you don’t need anyone who makes you feel like you can be who you want to be. Spend time with people who you don’t have to try with.

Be with people who make you happy, not who you think you should be spending time with because you’ve grown up to believe that you need to act a specific way. Act like you. Because I love you, you should love you and someone you don’t even know yet will love you.

One day everything will fall into place and everything will work out. So for now yes, we’re messed up, hormonal, stressed, over worked teenagers who don’t know anything about life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t feel good about ourselves. What kind of a world is it if it is rare to have self-confidence? Do what you want not what the person next to you wants. You shouldn’t have to try because you’re already amazing.

Fandoms....

So recently I’ve been wondering about belonging. I guess we all belong to a lot of things. Like our family, our school, but this post is specifically about fandoms….

Fandoms are simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to the internet. I know that they can cause a lot of arguments and fights, but just for this post am going to focus on the positives.

In case you don’t know, a fandom is a group of people who all like one band or TV show. For example Directioners all like One Direction or the Phandom for people who like Dan and Phil.

I love fandoms, through them I have made some of my best friends. But I also love the sense of belonging you feel when you enter a fandom.

It’s like everyone suddenly accepts you into the fandom and its great! That sense of finally fitting into somewhere is incredible.

I guess this kind of fits into my post about Hiraeth (which you can read here J ). I guess that a fandom can be seen as a home. A safe place. Where you can finally be yourself and no one will mind because you’re all as weird as each other.

Are you apart of any fandoms? If so tell me in the comments J

That’s it for this post so I’ll see you soon xxx

Twenty One Pilots ~ Forest

This song is incredible. In fact, the entire Vessel album is incredible. Actually, Twenty One Pilots are just insanely talented (I’m a bit of a fan…. Can you tell??).

But this song really stands out to me, especially the line: ‘I don’t want to be heard; I want to be listened to’

I just understand that so much. Like, I have all these thoughts and feelings about the world but I can’t say them. Either I chose to stay quiet through fear of embarrassment, or I’m brushed off because ‘I’m too young to understand’

I’d loved to be listened to. To actually have some sort of voice in this massive world. I guess that’s why I started this blog. So I finally have a voice.

This might seem really stupid, but I just want people to listen to me, to take me opinions and views seriously without it being seen as ‘a wrong opinion’

I mean what even is a wrong opinion?! How is an opinion wrong?? It’s literally impossible to have a wrong opinion. That’s why it’s an OPINION.

I just don’t understand why people feel the need to shoot people down just because they see something differently to them. Why do people want every to be a clone of themselves. It’s like they want everyone to be exactly the same and not have an opinion or view of their own – which is stupid! It would be so boring if everyone thought in the exact same way.

We are privileged enough to have freedom of speech, so I’m going to use that to its full potential. I don’t care if you think I’m wrong – I’m GOING to be listened to.

Right now I’m just a girl in my bedroom with a million thoughts. But this blog is giving me a chance to be listened too and I’m going to take it.

If you don’t already listen to Twenty One Pilots I strongly suggest you try listening to them because as you can see their lyrics provoke a very strong reaction but their music is honestly incredible. I love it J.

Healthy Lunch

So recently, I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier and it’s been working! I’ve found that I love to cook and to make a meal from scratch. I’ve also been eating this lot.

This salad and smoothie is a very simple, very quick, and very yummy lunch. It only takes about 10 – 15 minutes to make and tastes gorgeous!!

For the salad: 

- First of all get some lettuce or other green leaved thing and chop it up. This is the basis of your salad, so make sure there is enough of it.

-Next grab some tomatoes and chop them up. I used cherry tomatoes just because I find them easier to eat but you can use whatever kind you want

-I also added blueberries and a tangerine. But you can add whatever you want. Just change this to fit your preferences!

For the smoothie:

-Find the glass you want you’re smoothie to be in and fill it to about half way with strawberries and blueberries. The amount of strawberries to blueberries is completely your choice; I usually go for about 7 – 8 strawberries and a handful of blueberries. Tip all this into a blender.

-Fill the same glass up to about a quarter with milk and also put this into the blender.

-Finally add a few ice cubes. I normally go for about 3 but this depends of how cold you want your smoothie.

-Blend all this until smooth and then pour into a glass

And that’s it! It’s really simple and doesn’t take long at all. Also the smoothie could be a breakfast or you could make the salad bigger and make it a main meal – the choice is totally yours.

I’d love to know what you think of this, so leave a comment telling me if you liked it or not.

Anyway I’ll see you soon xxx

Hiraeth

I’m craving to go home…. But I’m already sat in where I call home…. I guess I’m craving a home that doesn’t exist… or that I haven’t found yet…

Whilst I’m typing this, my parents and brother are having yet again another screaming match. Deciding that 2 today wasn’t enough, they went for round 3. So yet again I’m in my room, trying to control tears and stop another panic attack coming, having my headphones in – but not too loud in case they call me and I can’t hear, and attempting to calm down. I thought maybe this would help.

I think they fight this much because they’re all too similar. That’s the thing, some days they get on like a house on fire, other days not so much.

You see they all have common interests, they all like similar music, watch similar TV shows, can talk for hours about anything. I guess that’s where I’m different.

I don’t watch the same TV shows as them and I’d much rather prefer to listen to Twenty One Pilots rather than what they listen to but they don’t get that. They don’t get why.

I’ve tried. I’ve tried showing mum some of the songs I listen too… but she just asked why I was listening to songs that were so depressing.

I’ve always called this house home. But I've also always been searching for a place I can truly call home. A place where I don’t have to try and fit in. a place where I can just be myself. The person I am when I’m alone. Where I don’t have to cover up the tears, I don’t have to hide when I breakdown. Where people aren’t ashamed of me or disappointed in me.

I have no idea if this place actually exists, or if it only exists in fairy tales. But I can still dream right?

They say fiction is the worst kind of drug. It can make you laugh, cry, smile, forget everything but once it’s over, everything comes crashing down and that wall you built around yourself blocking out all the bad just crumbles away and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Maybe one day I’ll find home. But for now I’m just craving the idea of it. Craving the secure feeling that it might bring.

Sorry that this was such a sad post but I’ve always called this like my diary so I suppose some posts are going to be like this.

Anyway see you soon xxx

I Don't Care ~ Fall Out Boy

‘The best of us can find happiness in misery’

I know, all Fall Out Boy lyrics are incredible; but as I was listening to Folie à Deux for maybe the millionth time, this line stood out to me just because it’s just so damn true.

In everything bad that happens, there is always, ALWAYS, something good. This could be the littlest thing – it doesn’t have to be life changing.

For example, since my grandpa passed away last Easter, my more distant family have become a lot closer. For example, in talking a lot more to my auntie and it’s great! I’ve never felt closer to her!

I know it’s difficult to find a good thing in every situation and sometimes you just want to be sad, and that’s perfectly fine! You’re allowed to be sad, you’re allowed to cry and breakdown – that’s fine. But all I’m saying is that after you’ve had a cry, don’t sit there and wallow in that all too familiar empty feeling in your chest, go out and find something to make you smile.

‘The best of us can find happiness in misery’. We can. You can. You can find something to make you smile even if it’s the most stupid, weirdest, most insignificant thing ever, if it makes you smile – it’s important. Remember that.

So don’t push away the things that make you smile. Hold them close. Don’t let them go.

Well, this post turned out to be a lot deeper than I intended, but I sincerely hope it’s helped at least one person.

Also I strongly suggest you check out Fall Out Boy if you don’t already listen to them – there and incredible band, with amazing lyrics and even better melodies.

Jar Of Happiness

Recently I’ve started a project and I thought I’d share it with you since it really has helped me put things into perspective.

I always let bad things get to me – I don’t know why but I always have done. So a few months ago I decided to start something, a happy jar. I know it sounds weird but hear me out. Every time I do something that makes me smile, I write it down on a little piece of paper fold it up and place it inside the jar.

I try to do one everyday so that I have something to smile about every day. Obviously sometimes it doesn’t work but a majority of the time it does.

Also when I’m having a particularly bad day I sit and read some. It honestly does make me smile looking back on all the incredible times.

I strongly believe that this jar has helped me be a happier person, which results in me being more productive and healthy J

My jar was £8 from Next but any jar will do ~ even an old jam jar :)

I would love to know if you think that this would help you in anyway or if you think it’s a good idea.

Amsterdam ~ Travel Blog!!!

As some of you know, I recently went to Amsterdam for a few days. I took a lot of photos so after narrowing them down so this post wasn’t 25000 pages long, I decided to post them on here. Enjoy J

Day 1:

We woke up at 3 am L and since I sleep at every chance I can get this was a little bit of an issue for me trying to get out of bed. But the excitement pushed me through and I finally got out of bed and changed ready to face this long day.

The flight from England to Amsterdam is actually very short, only about a couple of hours. So we arrived there at about 10 (which was 11 there). We took a train to central station and set off trying to find our apartment.

As soon as we stepped out of central station the views were incredible.

Since my dad can’t seem to follow simple directions, we actually didn’t get to our s=apartment until 5 ish – by which point we couldn’t be bothered to do anything since we’d been up since 3; so we just lazed around the apartment and slept (which I was perfectly happy with!).

Day 2:

After a longggg sleep we all got up refreshed and ready for the next day. We had already booked our tickets to visit Anne Frank’s House so we walked there.

I have to say, it’s one of the most incredible things I’ve ever walked around. Just being able to walk through a piece of history is incredible and thinking about the entire story was amazing.

However if you are thinking about visiting Anne Frank’s House then I strongly recommend booking tickets in advanced since the que to buy them was about 4 – 5 hours long!!

For obvious reasons, we couldn’t take any pictures inside the House however; I did get some in the afternoon when we decided to go on a canal cruise.

Day 3:

Our second to last day I this beautiful city and we decided to visit the Amsterdam arena. If you know me you’ll know I don’t particularly like football. Although I still found this very interesting watching how they changed the arena from a football pitch to a concert arena was incredible. Also, the tour guide was fairly nice to look at as well…..

Day 4:

Our final day in this incredible city L. But, our flight wasn’t until 9 pm so we still had the entire day to take in as much as we could.

So we went up the West Tower. The West Church is one of the tallest towers in the whole of Amsterdam so the view from up there is incredible however you don’t actually go all the way up to the top, only to half way however it is still a breath taking view from that height.

After a day of walking around Amsterdam we had to get our flight home. I would defiantly recommend going to this city as it is one of the most gorgeous places I’ve been too.

Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world? Comment where you’d go.

See you soon xxx

How To Make The Most Of Summer....

So I may be a little late for this post since it’s August but, we still have a few weeks left of summer right? A majority of these lists are usually the same so I’m going to try and make this one a little different (sorry if it isn’t…...)

 Numbero Uno: Learn a new language!!

This one is really helpful if you’re going on holiday this summer. You could try and learn the basics that you might need such as please, thank you, hello, goodbye and stuff like that. There are plenty of online lessons where you can learn a new language for free. These are generally more entertaining than a lesson you would have a school. So just pick a language and go for it ((it would also really impress people too!!))

Number 2: Find a passion…

This kind of carries on from my last post (which you can read here, oooo cheeky plug) but you can try and find a new thing that you love to do. For example mine this year is blogging and photography. I’m very new to this whole blogging thing so I’m going to do loads over summer J. 

Number 3: Go outside…

If you’re an internet junkie like me then this one might seem a little scary… But trust me once you get out you’ll love it. You could go out with your friends and just walk around and catch up since 6 weeks is a long time to be apart for. You don’t have to spend any money you could always just go to a park or walk around town window shopping.

Number 4: Act like a little kid….

This one never gets old. Get in touch with your inner child. We never used to be bored just running around and talking crap all day so why not do that again? Go outside and run or jump or stay inside and make a fort!! Anything that you used to do as a kid – Trust me you might think it but you won’t have grown out of it.

Number 5: Learn a new instrument…

Surely you weren’t expecting a blog post without me including music in some way?? But this is honestly a really good one. You can get online lessons for a majority of instruments completely free, so if you have an instrument lying around somewhere pick it up!! It was made to be played so why not do so!!

Number 6: Marathon a TV show/have a movie marathon....

On those rainy summer days where you’re stuck inside there’s nothing better than snuggling up in a blanket and watching a film or a TV show. It’s totally your choice what you watch but here are a few of my favourites...

• Peter pan (2003)                                   
• Marley and me
• The Fault in our Stars
• Serendipity 

Number 7: Create a bucket list…

I hadn’t even thought of doing this before this summer. I mean I’d always had a list of stuff I wanted to do in my head, but I’d never written it down. It’s actually quite therapeutic – writing down what you want to achieve, what you want to do with your life. I strongly recommend creating a bucket list I loved doing it and it took up quite a lot of time as well.

Finally: Have fun!!

This is your summer; it’s your time to relax! Do whatever the hell you want to do – Whether that’s staying inside on the internet all day or running around outside or shopping, whatever the hell you want to do!!!

I hope you guys have the best summer possible and I’ll see you soon xxx

My Passion....

So I thought for my first real blog post I would write about something I’m passionate about. The first thing that came to mind when I sat down to write this post was music. So that’s what I’m going to write about….

I’ve loved music ever since I was little. In fact, I remember sitting on my grandparents kitchen floor and bashing pots and pans to make ‘music’ and them insisting it was the best thing they’ve ever heard (it defiantly wasn’t trust me on that one)

When I was 6/7 I started playing piano. Needless to say like most things in the beginning I wasn’t very good. I mean the first 3 ‘pieces’ I learnt to play were all just hitting one note over and over again in different rhythms. But I guess practice does make you better since I’m now grade 6 J

I started playing guitar 2 years ago when I was 12 and haven’t been able to put it down since then. I love it. Of course I’m not great and I know that but I’m happy when I’m playing and that’s all that matters.

I also write songs. I would love to become a songwriter one day but for now I’m just happy writing them in my bedroom. It’s my way to vent. I’ve never really been one for talking to other people about my problems, so song writing has always been my way to try and get the message across that sometimes I’m not okay. (Que My Chemical Romance….)

Finally I love listening to music. I love the way that every song came from an emotion and the connection you feel with the artist during them 3 minutes. It’s a little peak inside their mind and it’s my addiction. I will more or less listen to anything from Beethoven to nirvana from Ed Sheeran to 5sos – I like nearly every type of music.

I could write forever about music, my drug, the reason I smile, the reason I cry, it’s my passion. But so that this post isn’t 25000 pages long, I’ll stop.

But I want to know what your passion is? What’s the one thing you would do forever it you could? Leave a comment I’d love to know J

But I’ll see you soon xxx

Hello world!!

So I’m Katie… I’m 14 and from England. And I have a lot of thoughts… wayy too many thoughts. So I thought I’d start this blog to get them off my mind. And that’s what it’s going to be more or less. Just a load of thoughts written down in a probably very inarticulate way depending on how tired i am. But I thought I’d tell you a little about me first.

I love music. I love listening to it, writing it, playing it, everything. Anything from Beethoven to nirvana to 5sos to Ed Sheeran – I’m all for it. I fall in love with the melodies, with the emotion behind the lyrics, with the connect you feel with the artist in those 3 minutes, with the fact that you can always find a song to express your feelings – how ever you may feel. I also play 2 instruments – piano and guitar.

I’m also obsessed with fiction. Any way of telling a story I love, whether it’s through acting, animation, reading or talking, i just get so absorbed into the story. fiction is my drug. it’s my happy place. it’s where i can forget everything that’s been happening in my life and live to life i wish i was living instead of sitting in my bed room blogging about it.

Finally, I hate school. It’s not that I’m bad at it. I get alright grades and I don’t particularly struggle with it. It’s just that I hate the thought of being judged for everything I do. like I’m not going to tell anyone that I’ve started this blog, not even my friends, purely through the fear of being judged. But the worst bit about it is that they probably won’t even care. If I told them i had a blog, they’d probably just say cool and walk away. But I just hate the thought of anyone thinking I’m weird or not liking me.

So that’s basically me. Obviously there’s a lot more since I’m a confused, stressed out, over worked teenager, but that’s a majority of my likes a dislikes. I’ll try and post stuff as regularly as possible, but for now that’s it. thank you for reading if you have even though this is probably the most boring thing you’ve ever read.

But anyway, see you soon :) xxx
