I got meningitis yo.

Greetings earthlings,

As you may have noticed, I have not a written a blog post  here on Planet Lo in a long time.
There are two reasons for this. Number One- I had blogger's block, I simply couldn't think of anything to write about. Number Two? I got meningitis. Yup, the ole meninges got inflammed and knocked me for six.

How did I get meningitis? I have no idea. But someone obviously wanted me dead, I'm watching you all...
To put it simply, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst headache imaginable and persisted to vomit continuously.(lovely I know)....the rest is history. But thankfully, 8 weeks later I am finally back to myself, and ready to blog! (Thanks to my wonderful Mother and the hospital staff!)

 

I wasn't sure what picture to put with this post....so I put one of my face? Proof I'm alive I guess? Oh, and I got new specs. 

If you've stuck around all this time then thank you! If you.re new to Planet Lo then welcome!

Sickness aside, I have some news for ye!---Planet Lo will be getting a major makeover in January and I'm so excited for you all to see it. I also have some other very exciting news that I can't wait to share with ye! All will be revealed in January.  

On a serious note, meningitis is quite a serious illness, early detection is key, it is very important to know the signs. Click HERE to visit the ACT(an Irish meningitis prevention organisation) webpage to learn about the signs and symptoms.
I'll be back soon with a new post :) 

Stay classy,

25 Facts About Me

Greetings earthlings,

Apparently it is a 'thing' amongst bloggers at the moment to write a '25 Facts About Me' post so I decided I'd hop on the bandwagon. Also, I shall once again apologise for my lack of posts over the past few weeks. Turns out the whole 'college' thing can actually take up quite a lot of one's time! Fear not, I finish lectures next week and then I'm all yours! So without further a due, here are 25 facts about me :)
 (I've included a photo of me and a drawing I did recently because I don't want to photo-less post!)

1. I hate bananas.
I'm sorry to start this list on a negative note but I can barely put into words how much I hate bananas. I hate everything about them.If we're going to be friends earthlings you need to know this.  Although my Mother claims she fed me bananas as a baby I have no recollection of ever consuming one and she has no evidence to back up such an accusation.

2. I love the smell of petrol.

3. I have green eyes.(sometimes, other days they're grey or blue) 

4. I can appear shy when I first meet people but after a while I warm up to them and they soon realise I am in fact, insane.

5. I have a collection of thousands of contact lense cases that I began collecting when I was 11. I'll put them to good use someday..

6. I love the fact that the Harry Potter books are always around if I ever feel like nipping into Hogwarts.

7. I'm doing my college course through Irish.

8. I can't wait to have kids. (Not for many years though!)

9. The sun makes me really happy.

10. I used to have a terrible phobia of dogs but now I love them.

11. I don't sing in the shower, I perform.

12. I'm hoping to get my first car this Summer and am extremely excited about it!

13. I'm rarely seen without a bottle of water on my person.

14. I love Gilmore Girls, and I mean love.

15. I saw Coldplay at a music festival in 2011 and spent the entire concert screaming at them to stop playing. (I was severely dehydrated, among other things.)

16. I love to draw. 

17. Disney movies are my game, to be forever young my aim.

18. I have enough hair on my head for about 4 people, this can be good and bad.

19. I'm blind as a bat and can't leave my bedroom without glasses or contact lenses.

20. I'm an over-thinker. Something which I hate and have been trying to put an end to.

21. I did ballet dancing for 13 years and its  still something I love.

22. I have 52 first cousins, its fantastic and means I'm never stuck for a friend.

23. I sit on a bus for an hour and 15 minutes every morning to get to college.

24. I've recently started watching the BBC programme Sherlock and I'm hooked.

25. I've recently tried to stop 'bitching' about people and have discovered it makes life a lot nicer.


Well, that's that! 
I hope you enjoyed this post and feel you have gotten to know me a bit better. I will be back soon with something of more substance.

Stay classy,

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, i drive fast.

Greetings earthlings, 

I must begin by apologizing for my absence over the past month. Turns out this whole 'college' thing can be pretty time consuming once you hit second year! Also turns out that i can be very, very lazy. 
I return to you all with some vital information about me: 


Lizzy Grant aka Lana Del Rey, is.my.gal. 

I love her. 

Yes, one may argue that she is 'fake' because shes obviously had cosmetic surgery on her nose and lips, what of it? She could be made 100% of silicone and i wouldn't care, talk about true love. 

I often wonder what music i used to listen to before i became Lana obsessed, then i remember....and i become even more grateful for her music. 

Whether i've been suffering from Summertime Sadness or i simply feel like i was Born To Die, Lana has been there to pick up the pieces of my cocaine heart. 

Lana Del Rey empitomises glamorous old school America and the troubling realities of that glamorous lifestyle we all yearn for. She speaks of the streets of New York and the men that have screwed her over. Whenever i listen to her music, i stare out the window and pretend to be her. Call my crazy, but i love it.  

'Drink all day and we talk till dawn'...... i think alot of us have been there!

For me, Lana takes the ordinary and makes it,extraordinary. 

Unlike many other songs i listen to, her lyrics actually mean something to me. As worrying as this may sound, i can often relate to them.  

And the music videos? My God its like the girl ventured into my imagination, took the colourful stuff, mixed it with class, put in her amazing face and put it on screen! Per.fec.tion. And she makes some of the clips herself! 

She writes all her songs too, kudos to you miss Rey. 

Although i could sit here and all day and talk about my many reasons for loving this girl, i had better leave it at that for now. 
I thought id share this love with you all because to know me is to know that i love Lana. 

Until next time, 

Stay classy, 

Lxx

My first blog post, here goes nothing!

Greetings earthlings, 
Here it is, my first blog post. I've Cheryl (no more Cole)'s music blasting in my ear whilst writing this , but thats a topic of discussion for another post!
The reason i wanted to start this blog is pretty simple, i want there to be something with my name, out there on the internet, immortal, forever.
I've recently realised(god knows why) that we're all just going to die eventually, this is a thought that has been preo-ccuping my thoughts of late if im honest. It is because of this that i have decided to live my life to the full, i want to be like Beyonce in that i want to be able to say 'I was here'.
Part of that is me sharing my life and thoughts online. If i died tomorrow, god forbid, at least this blog would still be here, i'd have left something behind. Besides some artwork i haven't left many physical things that i have created behind. I want to be able to say, 'I was here, i lived, i loved...and i wrote a blog!'. 

Because of my sudden realisation and preoccupation with the fact that really, nothing really matters, i have decided to try and make the absolute best of my life. (I'll have another blog on the whole death preoccupation subject another time)
At the end of the day, I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
I want to be the best version of myself possible, and i think this blog will help me do that.
So please, join me on this adventure and what im sure will be a rollercoaster ride.
I'll try my best to keep you entertained and who knows maybe we can all get along like we used to in middle school, i'll bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles, we'll all eat it, and we'll all be happy.
Oh, and please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
