91. Find a pair of flats that I can wear!

Yay for the fact it hasn't taken me a year to accomplish the next thing on my bucket list!

Now this one might seem very simple, but ballerina flats simply fall off my feet because I have skinny ankles, making it virtually impossible to find a pair that fit without any straps (and even then, the ones I've bought only fit because they're a size smaller than my shoe size).

Here is a picture of them - I bought them from New Look for £19.99, and they're black suede material with studs all the way around the shoe (I had been looking for a pair of these for ages because there was a Youtuber I watch who had them, and I fell completely in love with them (sadly he has since gotten rid of them)).

Not much else to say on this, so I shall go and break them in now!

89. Go to a music festival.

Apparently it takes me a year to complete something off this list, so I reckon I'll need to start hurrying up (unless I think I'll live for another 100 years or so).

Once again I went back to Florida during the summer holidays, and it just so happened that while I was there, Warped Tour would be at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, so I got tickets to go as two of my favourite bands were going to be there (All Time Low and We Are The In Crowd).

Seeing as I had never been to a festival before (obviously), I had no idea what to expect, but it was definitely an amazing experience - both bands weren't on until the evening, so that gave me the rest of the day to explore all the stalls there (however, I had forgotten that there wasn't going to be much shaded area there, and so ended up with terrible sunburn across my chest and on my arms - ALWAYS REMEMBER SUNCREAM PEOPLE).

We Are The In Crowd had their signing first, so I got a birthday card for my friend signed, then my mother got a top I'd just bought signed, and finally my dad got one of those postcard things signed (I honestly didn't realise they'd be at the signing). Sadly, Mike wasn't there, but it was still cool to see them (a quick funny story - Jordan was the only one to look at the front of the card (picture below), and he said that he liked his hair).

So after the WATIC signing, I had half an hour to wait before my drum lesson with Rob from WATIC (during which time my parents left me to find shade as we hadn't gotten used to the Florida heat yet), and sadly I was the worst person there, but it was still a lot of fun - he taught us the beginning of Kiss Me Again, and now I've nearly forgotten it all. Once the lesson had finished, he said that we could have pictures with him, which strangely surprised me because I honestly didn't except him to say that.

Once the drum lesson was done, I had to rush over to the All Time Low signing which had awkwardly started at the same time as the drum lesson, though luckily it was only a few stalls away and they were still signing. When I got to the front of the queue, the first person I saw was Jack, who gave me a high five and said that the poster I'd brought to get signed was a good picture (once I'd looked at the poster after they'd signed it, I saw that he'd put a star and a smiley face by his signature, which made me extremely happy).

A couple of hours later it was ATL's set, which lasted for about 45 minutes, and since they had been told they couldn't swear on stage, instead Alex and Jack decided to talk about impregnating everyone, group showers, and how Florida was sweaty balls weather - which didn't impress my mother at all, whom I didn't realise was watching it.

To finish off the day was WATIC's set, which had less people in the crowd, but there was still an amazing energy to it, and I really didn't want it to end at all.

So overall, Warped Tour was brilliant, and I would strongly recommend that people go if they haven't, because it's just one of those experiences that you need to have at least once in your life.

5. Go to Walt Disney World again.

So I know I’ve only just posted, but this was something that I’d completed about a week ago, and thought that I should blog about it now while I can still remember what actually happened.

For two weeks in August, I went to Walt Disney World in Florida – and yes, the weather was scorching. It came as quite a shock to me as I had last been there when I was six, and for the past ten years have only dealt with the cold weather that we are so used to here in Britain. It was shorts and skirts every day, something which didn’t sit well with me, a girl whose whole wardrobe pretty much consists of skinny jeans and band t-shirts. Also, when you weren’t being burnt to a cinder by the sun, you were getting drenched by the rain; I wore some shoes that I had customised with Sharpies, and by the end of the first day, it was already beginning to wash away, a definite disappointment.

Anyway, the basic rundown of the two weeks there were:
Day 1: Magic Kingdom

Day 2: Epcot

Day 3: Animal Kingdom

Day 4: DisneyQuest/Downtown Disney
Day 5: Hollywood Studios
Day 6-7: Repeat of Disney Parks
Day 8: Shopping & attempt to see parade and fireworks at Magic Kingdom, which were then cancelled due to rain ¬_¬
Day 9: Gatorland

Day 10: SeaWorld
Day 11: Do nothing all day, then see parade and fireworks at Magic Kingdom (not cancelled this time yay!)

Day 12: Finish off Disney Parks
Day 13: Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios (last day, so we were trying to get as much use out of the tickets as possible)
Day 14: HOME TIME!

While it was fun, I am definitely glad to be back home again :)

P.S. Might I just add, you only know you’re at Disney once you see Cinderella’s Castle.
P.P.S. Also, I took some cool pictures of ducks and parrots; here's two of them.
