oh and i got access to pottermore a few weeks ago too!

After answering about 10 questions the sorting hat presented me, I was finally sorted into Hufflepuff. Recently I have been agreeing with this as I CANT STOP EATING. Hufflepuff common room is located next to the Hogwarts kitchen, thank god for that really.

Oh and incase anyone wants to know, this is my wand. WOOHOO 

it's been a while!

so have a montage i made of pictures of myself. i was bored, okay! :o) It ranges from little ria, to chav ria, to black hair/purple/reddish hair ria to nowadays! ENJOYYYYYY

In the time I have been absent, I have starting my second year of college - scary stuff! Starting looking at universities for September, ombred my hair (thanks to inspiration from Zoella, thepersianbabe & LLYMRS) although mine went gingery blonde due to my dark hair to begin with - although I still really like it! Lastly, I have finally booked a driving lesson, as you guys know I turned 17 in July and have been so nervous to book a lesson BUT i finally have! Wednesday 12th October between 1.30pm & 3.30pm, stay off the roads Essex!

my sleeping pattern is so messed up.

since me and Jamie have broken up, sitting up to the early hours of the morning chatting to people and listening to music past 3am has become a regular occurrence. Now I don't know if this is some subconscious thing that I have contracted since we broke up or maybe the fact that I don't have to be wide awake to see people anymore has resorted in me getting this again.

My usual early morning routine is watch lots of American TV (How I Met Your Mother or The Glee Project usually), eat lots and take pictures. Here are some from last night - 

POTTERMORE.

cos im a lazy shit, I didn't try the first 2 days, but this morning I got up after 4 hours sleep and sat for 2 hours until the clue came up. I freaked out and answered and got INNNNN! So happy, excited, best feeling ever.

My username is QueenEcho134!! The only thing that could top this right now would be Hagrid turning up and saying 'You're A Wizard, Ria' :)))

eventful day.

i met up with Maddy, only to be waiting for 20minutes at the train station while she was 2metres away from me cos we didn't realise! Then we got into town and one of the biggest chavs whistled at us! I then began to overheat as I wore black jeans and a blazer, so splurged at the New Look sale (3/4 chinos & shorts), got changed in Tesco toilets and made our way up to the Skatepark. Once there I thought.. oh dear, where is my blazer?! OH NO IVE LEFT IT IN TOWN WITH MY IPOD IN IT! We make the trek back up to Tesco and thankfully find it on the back of the toilet door, where I had left it.. :') After this, we got really cold and then I came home. Once in the taxi home, I was like, finally warmth & food. But no, I then got a text from one of my best friend's and she had been in a car crash! I start panicking and worrying so bad! Thankfully everyone is okay and safe!

Feeling all nostalgic.

Last night I was surfing the interweb when I came across all these old shows I used to watch -

• Drake and Josh
• That's So Raven
• The Amanda Show
• Kenan & Kel etc etc 

I sat and thought to myself how different the humour of the programmes nowadays are to the humour back then! I personally think that that those shows I have listed above are 20times funnier than some of the programmes that are on for teenagers today! I love the fact they had catchphrases and everyone from that 'era' knew them. I'm glad that I was a '90's kid' and that I got to experience these shows in their prime! Signing out, so I'll leave you with this.. 

WHO LOVES ORANGE SODA??..... you know the rest ;) 

Also, I have become FAR TOO obsessed with.. DARREN CRISS!!

Checking in.

It's been over a week since I last posted so I think an update is in order!

• Saw Harry Potter again with my gran!
• Saw Hannah
• Went to Ben's with Katie, Gareth and Phil! 

Maddy comes home on Wednesday and I'm really excited to see her! I miss our chats about life and stuff. 

I've also become a Sims addict again over the last week.. oh dear, oh dear. I try to control it but it always seems to get the best of me! I've gotten back into the piano and been learning some new songs from some really good artists including Keane, The Kooks and Bon Iver. Seriously in love with 'Skinny Love' at the moment but I think I prefer the Birdy version to the original :/ I've decided that I went to start learning the guitar as well as I have a lot of free time and I want to be productive and until my provisional arrives and I can start learning to drive and should start practising my theory test, I want to fill my time with usual and beneficial things rather than just sitting on my arse watching TV! Haha. 

Not much planned for the next couple of days either. Seeing Hannah tomorrow and possibly Lakeside on Wednesday. Other than that, probably just SIMS. SIMS. SIMS!!!!! HAHAHAHA. <3
