So this might seem like a bit of a dumb thing to be blogging about but bare with me haha....
(this isn't a film review lol)So when I was in year 4 of junior school, 1999, around 9 t0 10 years old I became obsessed with a film called Harriet the Spy. Everybody watched it? no? oh well lol
This was first of many obsessions of mine lol, im known for being obsessed with films, actors, musicians. So a lot of my friends and family look back at my Harriet the Spy obsession and laugh because it was quite extreme for a 10 year old to be so taken in by a character.
I named my pet hamster harriet lol, i used to spy out of my letterbox! (seriously!) and once at school we had world book day... we dress up as a book character for charity, so i bought Harriet the spy the book and dressed in a cool yellow coat and a belt full of gadgets lol, I looked like a complete idiot because no one new who I was supposed to be, but i didnt care at all... i always remember that day because I was finally able to be like Harriet the Spy without anyone caring because it was world book day lol!!
Me and my dad was shopping in Morrisons (supermarket)... and next to the till line there is always a basket full of old DVDs for like £2, i always look through there because sometimes I buy one, i found Donnie Darko in there last month =] and suddenly i found Harriet the Spy! I couldn't believe they had actually made it into a DVD! I showed my dad and he was like 'Oh my gooddd!' and bought it me for a keep sake and a memory of me as a kid (my dads like that lol)
I only go to college twice a week... sometimes three times because a lot of my work is done at home so i have a lot of free time to watch different films whilst doing my work... so I put Harriet the Spy on when I was bored... and surprisingly enough I still enjoyed it! I thought I was gonna laugh the whole way through at how perfetic it was, but it wasn't. I decided to blog about it because I actually seriously think this film made me who I am today... or maybe thats not true maybe I loved it so much because when I was 10 years old deep down I always had this love for the media; for photography, films, and magazines.
Harriet's notebook was 100% personal and she wrote what ever she wanted in there... when I first decided to start this blog thats exactly what I had in mind... I know its not 100% personal because all you guys are reading but I have honestly never told anyone I know about my blog (maybe just my lil cousin lol) because I wanted it to be totally me... without having to worry about who's reading.
'I want to see the whole world, and I want to write down everything'
'I want to remember everything. And I want to know everything.'
I 100% relate to these two quotes from Harriet in the movie... I do want to see the whole world... i do want to write down everything... i do want to remember everything... and i do want to know everything. Even though at the time I first watched this movie, I hadn't realised this yet.
So anyway... the interesting part lol! Michelle Trachrenberg is the actress who played Harriet in the movie, and coincidently she's becoming quite successful recently... especially with her new role in Gossip Girl and her new movie with Zac Efron!
I quite like her style as it is... but i'm 100% sure shes going to get noticed more for fashion now shes part of Gossip Girl.. i truly think shes amazingly beautiful so here are some pics =]
Your all going to think i'm mad lol! Even Stevens & Harriet the Spy! haha
PS - MILO VENTIMIGLIA IS IN ENGLAND! omg! I couldnt believe it when he showed up at the BAFTAS! I love him so much! I would have gone to london to find him if i had known! (seriously i met Zac Efron twice haha)
