A whale sound just came out of my mouth because of this

[i JUST LOST ALL MY FUCKING SHIT IN JUST FIVE MINUTES FROM READING ALL THESE POSTS. OMFG]

Lana figured it got in there from that one night out on the veranda near Ocean Grove. Meth's one hell of a drug.

So she turned to Barrie-James and said...

He's a sweet baby, but he looks mean

I had a heart attack for brief second. 

CAUGHT

So this morning i was bored so i went on Reddit and there was about five topics about the US National Security Agency.  
 
People have always claimed the US secret services were spying on citizens but now there's proof of it. Basically, the NSA have deals with certain massive tech corporations, that allow them to collect any information they want without any legal proceedings. The program is called PRISM and the NSA kindly made a 41 page long powerpoint to explain it...

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla. You don’t alienate anybody, but you don’t excite anybody, either,” he told Salon.

Queen of Disaster vs. Live or Die

I think both Lana and Luhrman are hoping for it to be, and I am too. A lot of people are saying it's a sub-par Lana song and I just really disagree with that. I think it's simply stunning and who knows, it might be nominated for something. If she went ahead and won that Golden Globe or Oscar (or nominated, even) it would be a huge "fuck you" to the Grammys.

Why are people being so negative about Y&B being able to win an Oscar's? It's a great song, with a great sense etc etc etc etc. Just because it's one of the songs that made Lana mainstream, or whatever you want to call it, it doesn't make it a bad song. The song, in my opinion, is immaculate and worthy of an Oscar. Lana herself is worthy of an Oscar, just for being so damn impeccable.

Is it us or do a lot of Lana Del Rey songs remind you of drinking? Sure, she ruined Pepsi with the idea that it takes like her vagina but other songs serve as great inspirations for cocktails that might just be perfect now that the weather is warming up.

GUESS SHE FINALLY GOT THE MEMO      

So we got to the venue around 1pm so we'd have a good place (hopefully near the barrier), but the queue was really small and we managed to get into the priority queue which was fabulous! We knew Lana would be arriving at the venue at some point so another girl and myself waited around the stage doors while our friends held our spot in the queue. We kept meeting the members of Kassidy (except Barrie) and other random tech guys/security people which we kept asking about Lana's arrival. We saw some fairly interesting stuff:
 
 
 
 
After waiting in the wind and rain and hail and occasional sunshine for 3 hours, a random guy told us to wait by the stage doors further down and that she'd be here in a few minutes. I found out that he was a 'fan' (aka autograph collector who sells her signatures for money) and so has met her several times. Finally, she arrived! She saw my flower crown and sort of gasped and smiled and I was about to take a picture but my stupid camera wasn't working so she went and signed some people's things, and took her time! Honestly, she was so so genuine and lovely.
 
She went inside (but only to put down her handbag) and a few more people had gathered round (fans + paps) and some annoying couple had pushed in front of me ('Lana please have a photo we need to drive home to London Lana Lana...') so after she had seen to them, another girl who had just had Lana's name tattooed on her boob, she went inside again and was about 2 minutes. She came back out with her bodyguards and they each were holding about 5 copies of the limited edition Paradise boxset (that sold out!) and they had all been signed by Lana. Everyone was holding their hands out for one, and Lana had one copy left and looked up at me and put it in my hands, then went back to signing things. Alas, some other girl had her hand on my limited signed Paradise and snatched it out my hand! Then had the nerve to stand directly in front of me (I probably would've been next to have a photo with Lana) and she got her photo. It would have made me angrier, but Lana was right in front of me and I kept blurting out things like 'you're so pretty!' 'you're perfect!' and she had this big gorgeous smile the whole time, and she was like 'I'm not!'. Her security people kept saying no to everyone who said 'can I have a picture please Lana?' but she replied 'stop telling me just give me 2 more minutes' and Lana carried on signing away. Anyway, after these other basic hoes who hadn't been waiting for 3 hours had got their pictures, I FINALLY got a picture with Lana and my friend, and I look like a mess but she is adorable.
 

 
I'm going to have to make a separate post about the actual show lmao, but I forgot to mention she kissed my cheek!
