July Highlights & Favourites: WWAT, Macklemore & more

 I haven't posted anything since I wrote my Romantically Challenged blog post, which was on June 27th (woah there). On the one hand, I wasn't even home for most of the first part of the month so there was really nothing I could do. Or write, for that matter. On the other hand, I really liked my last post, if I do say so myself, and I was finding it hard to write something that could follow that up. Since it's the start of a new month, though, I figured that a monthly favourites was the perfect excuse to get back on the blogging train!

The first couple of weeks of this month were filled with music (1D's "Where We Are Tour" and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis later on), which basically means I spent my time with friends, walking around Barcelona until the early hours and trying to sneak into fancy hotels - which we failed at. Oh, and running into Harry Styles. You read that right. I ran into Harry Styles at a random bar in the city. The usual. Yup. Also, our French friends came to town so that made our whole adventure a lot more exciting. It's unbelievable how music can make you connect with people. After all, as one of our friends said, being on the road is not so much about what you do but about who's making it all worth it.

And needless to say, both One Direction and Macklemore absolutely killed it live.

 

As expected, after spending a few days surrounded by people night and day, I needed some alone time. I don't even question it or get surprised anymore - I just know it's coming. It wears me out and I know that just enjoying the quiet life for a few days is my system's own way to recharge, so I just obey. Plus, I've come to realize I really enjoy walking down by the river in the evenings. Who knew!

Now here's what I've been loving...

Literature

Paper Towns, by John Green

Last Night I Sang to the Monster, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

TV & Film

A little bit late to the party but I'm hooked on Dawson's Creek! The first few seasons were more entertaining and I'm kind of stuck on the fourth one now but I'm still obsessed. Love me some Pacey Witter. I have also been catching up and loving the fourth season of Teen Wolf (but I do miss the good ol' Stiles & Lydia more than I can tell) and re-watching Charmed because what can I say, I'm a sucker for witches who can kick some ass and have a job at the same time. Give me some supernatural drama and I'm happy.

As for films, I really enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars earlier this month. I applaud both the actors and everyone involved for turning a great book into a great movie.
