2008...A year in review

Ahhh its nearly the New Year, and I figured, like last year I would do the Highs and Lows of the year.

2008 has brought with it both good and bad points. All in All it was an alright year, and its going to take one hell of a year to top it.
Lets start with the lows so that we can be happy at the end ^_^
Lows:
January:
Well as many of you may know, thats when my hearing started to turn shit and I was refusing to go to the doctors.
Also the time of the great bad hair scandal:P
February:
(January/February)Denise was admitted to hospital, that was a really scary time:( <3 So glad you're better now though D.
I got a nasty ear infection and seriously infected mastoid gland, that sucked.
Very many dental appointments as I had to have my front tooth cemented into place as they fucked me over on dental work a few years ago >_<
And I missed Tegan and Sara in Dublin cause of my ear:(
May:
I had to get stitches in my arm after that whole scare >_< That sucked, and trying to write for exams was awful.
Getting annoyed with builders for not turning up to do the bathroom.
June:
Broke one of the wing mirrors on my car because of an asshole lorry driver not moving over>_<
Broke my sunglasses :( Rip sunglasses.
Saturday 12th of July 2008, Brian McGonnell died after a nasty battle with cancer. Shelly is like a member of our family and it was awful to see the family go through it <3
My dad chipped a bone in his wrist and lost a chunk of his finger.
and some areshole vandalized my car by breaking both the wing mirrors off>_< Fuckers.
October:
I dislocated my jaw >_<
Really shitty Halloween as everyone canceled on me.
November:
My hate for the Leaving Cert English Course bubbled over.
People canceled on me again ¬_¬
Got messed around by an arse who I'm truly glad to be rid of.
December:
I crashed the car. That was possibly one of the scariest moments of my life. I was going really slow, and I caught the corner wrong and was sent into a skid. I don't think I've ever been so scared.
The fridge pump broke and flooded the kitchen.
My Big Nan got really sick.
My Nan got really sick and still is, I'm really worried :( Shes lost alot of weight and was describing symptoms of a heart attack, I really hope shes getting better.
I got lost in Dundalk for 3 hours and got so annoyed I was nearly crying.
I was completely uninspired for ages. And not motivated in the slightest.
I have a cold.

On top of that we have various amounts of Dental appointments, sickness, bad luck, clumsiness, falling down stairs, bruises, cuts, and god knows what else.

Ok now we're past the depressing stuff time to get to the Happy things:).
Highs:


January:
New start. New Year.
Shellys 21st. Was an amazing night. I bought my first ever dress and it was brilliant fun:)
I bought books. Lots of books.

The tuesday of my actual birthday was soooo amazingly funny too. I took Jules with me and we went to my staff Shin-dig. It was brilliant. I got drunk, fell off a wall, and apparently the DJ grabbed my ass, I don't remember that at all hahaha. I also ended up getting um 30 kisses too hahaha. Good times.
Went to see the Dark Knight with Pat. That was a fantastic film. Loved it.
Went to see Clone Wars with Pat in Dublin :) (I think it was July, maybe August?)
August:
I got yet more books.

I went to see Muse in Marley Park. That was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. If you have to see one band live its them. For Sure.
I got My Birthday Present from Denise. Terrible Towel is brilliant.
Tim-LC came over for a few days and we hung out. It was fun. ^_^

Went to IADT open day and I love that college.
Went to Top Gear WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Wow, just Wow. I love Richard Hammond <3

December:
Denise's Christmas present came. BEST.PRESENT.EVER! I don't care D, It really was:P <3
I got an iPod for Christmas.
I wasn't working Christmas Eve.
I got a radio for my car.
Had one of the Best weeks of my life.

Along with all that there is of course numerous other things, I got art done, I read alot, I had some really good nights out and some hilarious conversations with Denise in the early hours of the morning.
So as 2008 draws to a close, its pretty safe to say it's been a very good year. some highs and lows, filled with laughter, sadness and who knows what else.

I have met some great people this year,Amy<3, Peter <3, Tim-LC, Donna, Danielle, Niamh, and anyone who I've forgotten.
09 will see me hopefully getting into IADT and moving to Dublin and Denise coming over in June <3 and my Debs. Who knows what else.

And with that I think I shall leave it. HAPPY NEW YEAR<3 I hope its a great one.

Ahh Tuesdays

Today I did actually get things done :) I'm so pleased with myself ^_^
I was then going to go into town and get some art supplies as I really need a new pen as my black has run out >_<
So New Years, after talking to a few people it seems alot are staying in, so I think I might too. Adam and Shell are coming over, but I think I might get drunk with D if she's up for it:)

Anywho I got drafted into work today ¬_¬ 5:30-10. It was alright. I LOVE Sinjita, shes soooo cool she brought sweets <3. And Mark is so cute ^_^

I'm sorry I missed people earlier though, so typical of my luck >_< <3

Hopefully I will get into town sometime this week in order to get my art things:)And Oh that reminds me, I have an appointment tomorrow to go try on Debs dresses :) I know its like 8months away but Shelly saw this really nice dress and thinks it will suit me so hopefully it will:)
No Idea who I'll take to the Debs yet, James still thinks I owe him one as he took me¬_¬ We'll see James.. we'll see.

Anywho I can't concentrate so

woo update

Today I got up at *mutters*onethirtypm*Mutters* and had coffee and sat in my pjs for ages.
I got some art done as well which I was pretty happy with. I still have alot to do, but I mean I'm getting things done.
I have planned what I'm going to draw in every panel, I just have to draw it. :)

I then decided that I needed leaves for my portfolio, so I went on a adventure. It was bloody freezing. >_<
I made Denise a video though, which I have yet to upload as youtube was being a mong. I'll do it this evening, maybe on Veoh?
However I did upload one for Amy, so, hopefully, I didn't look like a complete idiot. And ramble.
I promise both of you I'm going to make better ones ^_^

I have currently got artwork ALL over my floor too.

Oh and the genius that I am, when I was making D's video I slipped right on my ass on the ice. The poor guy walking on the other side of the road didn't know what to do. Thank god that I didn't catch it on video, or I would have never lived it down. ¬_¬

I think for this week, I need to get my phone unlocked so I can get an Orange sim to work in it. I also need to finish this story board, and I promised Alibhe we'd go out for Chinese and then go out after so she could see what I'm like drunk. That should be fun. Alibhe is hilariously funny. <3

New Years Eve, atm I'm not sure I have anything planned, I might go out with Claire to McKennas as her friend from Kildare is down, and she said I should come out. So I'll see if the offer is still good. It all depends how I feel on the day, I'm not a huge fan of New Year, well, I don't mind it, but the past few years its been quiet, so I think I will go out this year. I'm going to attempt to not get too drunk and do yoga in the middle of McKennas or run around with a saucepan on my head....... wow. Um, yeah.... ^_^

Damn I missed Heroes, Oh well. DOUBLE FATHER TED!!!!

Hurrah, Dude, I found my muse.

Like i said before this side of Christmas is kind of depressing.
But since yesterday I have actually done a little art. Tomorrow I need to SERIOUSLY get one of the storyboards done.
I also want to seriously thank my muse, for not only inspiring me, but for naming the character, thank you so so so much, let me know what I can do to thank you^_^

I have done no studying so far ¬_¬ I need to get to that. And I will but 12 chapters of Chemistry and 11 of Biology does not sound appealing.

I'm considering doing some tomorrow though. I'm also considering getting an Orange sim, so that I can talk to people in England for cheaper, if I can find my old phone that was unblocked then I will:)

I had one of the best nights sleep last night, I haven't slept that well in months. I have no idea why I slept so well. hehehe.

<3 to Denise and I hope your cousin makes a recovery hun ^_^
wow my hands are warm. This is weird they're usually freezing.

Ohh last night I watched St Elmos Fire. Rob Lowe is an incredibly good actor. Hes brilliant in Waynes World too.
Oh and I had the best cup of coffee this morning, and in my Ghostbusters mug, I am so cool^_^ hehehe

Desperately seeking muse

The past week or so I haven't been inspired to draw or come up with ideas or anything for my portfolio.
I sit down, get an idea then realize its crap. I need to be inspired.

Today was strange though. I just started drawing, and coming up with ideas that aren't too bad.
Whatever happened its good. And I hope it sticks around, I need to get this portfolio done in like a couple of weeks :(

Came and gone :(

So Christmas has come and gone and I really do not like this side of christmas. Its depressing and it has finally hit me how much shit I have to do. Its really frightening, I need to do some serious study and art, and I'm running out of time.

Anyways, yesterday, I got my Ipod yay, this is the first I have ever owned and its Black and the 120gb one ^_^ . Its so pretty, I love it. :)
This was also the first year ever that I didn't get any clothes. I'm surprised and little disappointed I love getting clothes. Oh well. I'm super happy with everything I got.

I'm actually kind of bored right now, my ipod is charging, and I need to tidy my room but I really don't want to. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm considering going to watch Doomsday. The lovely happy person that I am. I don't want to study and I just feel exhausted so I'm not arsed doing anything.

<3 Denise.

I might go for a bath. Bah that would involve turning on the Immersion and I don't want to.
Jesus I'm full of complaints and joy today huh?

Christmas Eve

YAY!!!

Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE Christmas. Its my favorite holiday and it would be better if it snowed. But as I live in rainy old Ireland, we know that that is not going to happen.

This year is the first year in hmm 3 years maybe? That I haven't had to work. I'm so excited that I don't have to work. I woke up about an hour ago, and I'm now just relaxing. I need to make mince pies for mom and I need to shower.
I love how I just told everyone that¬_¬ Well it doesn't matter, everyone being the one person that reads this (<3)

I don't feel exactly Christmasy yet. I think once I'm clean and tidied and everything I'll feel better and I can get some studying done. And I'm going to mass this evening just to keep the peace.

Oh wow that turkey smells good. I love how our family has the meal for tomorrow cooked today, so all they have to do is heat it up. <3
What's our Christmas Eve meal? Chili ^_^ It doesn't get any better.

Anyway, I'm going to go get some things done. Oh and I'm in so much pain right now. I fell asleep on Sean's (My brother) uncomfortable ass bed and now I'm sore all over. ¬_¬ Stupid shit bed. It had NOTHING to do with the fact that I fell on the floor. -_-

Anywho Merry Christmas

Only 2 left now

As of 12pm today Monday 22nd of December I have officially finished my second semester of 6th year.
Woooo.
Unfortunately, its all shit from here. I have my Pres in February and my Orals in April and then my actual Leaving Cert in June. Ick >_<

But, I'm not going to dwell on my mountain load of work, my portfolio that needs to be finished or even the homework that needs to get done.
No I'm focusing on my most favorite holiday.
CHRISTMAS:)
Only 3 days now and I'm super excited. I have all my presents bought and done. I have my staff Christmas party this evening too. I don't think I'm going to drink as I want to drive home and what not. =] We'll see.

I love Christmas and I think this is the first Christmas Eve I haven't worked in maybe 3 years. And the first I've spent at home in maybe 4 or 5?
Unfortunately, because my brother is now an non believer, well he has been for a while but I haven't been home, its just not the same.

I really need to get things done before I go out this evening, I need to shower and all that jazz, and see what I'm going to wear too. Gah. I should get a move on.
Anyways
Merry Christmas.

Best. Present. Ever.... Seriously

I may have posted this before, but a few weeks ago Denise sent me my Christmas present.
She got me so much and its all soooo cool.
Now I got 2 boxes, one was with books and a slinky and books from Danielle too, and what not, and 2nd has like 4 different kinds of loose leaf tea, cinnamon and caramel sticks (Put in tea instead of sugar) and some of these sachets of Bellagio cocoa and mocha.

On Tuesday I had one of the Caramel Mocha ones and I was actually in heaven. It was soo good I could have died and been in heaven.
Today was no different I had the Peppermint Cocoa and my god was it good. It was just amazing. Really made my day better. Its been cold dark and wet here today and I kind of drifted through the day in a daze. But that Cocoa was so good. mmmmmm ^_^

Ok. Thats all I wanted to say. :)

Quick update

Ok, quick update.
Weekend was awesome, Nan and Granddad came over, it was like Christmas.

Shelly got her stitches out seems to be healing well.

My brother Adam has to get surgery this week I think.

Went Ice Skating on Monday, got lost in Dundalk. I fucking hate that place NOTHING is sign posted.
Somehow trying to get back towards Blaney is bloody hard when you have a sign post that BOTH directions at a Y-Junction say CASTLEBLANEY. >_< Their town planner is a sadistic bastard.

I have to do some SERIOUS art now and get my ass into gear>_<

No idea whats happening this weekend, I'm all muddled and confused. I have to study Organic Chemistry AGAIN as I have a test on Monday and I cannot fail...this time around ¬_¬ Yes, everyone failed in the last one, it was dreadful.

Ok that's all, I need to locate my Christmas tree and decorations and find my notebook too.

..To reinforce what I said earlier...shit week

This week is getting worse and worse all the time.
I just found out that my Nan who we call Big Nan is sick. She hasn't got out of Bed since Sunday and it's really not looking good.
As a result my one granddad isn't coming over.
Big Nan is my great nan and shes 94 I think.
I really hope she gets better.
I have had soe great times with her. Like she never leaves her room until her makeup is done, and she always keeps newspaper clippings of things I'd like. She has never forgotten my birthday and and she always has fantastic stories to tell.
I love my Big Nan, or more recently Nana Boyd

Sorry if this is incoherent I'm feeling kinda shitty and I don't know where my head is.



<3 Big Nan, please get better

Shit Luck

Now we all knew my luck was awful but this week its worse.
After crashing my car and numerous other amounts of bad luck I thought it was finally picking up for me what with mom saying yesterday I could take most of today off to come home and tidy for her.

The first thing was Sean. He pulled a sickie and got away with it. He is not sick at all (I know this because he has a distinct fake sick voice, and he was using it. That and he was playing xbox and yelling at the TV).
Anyway, that annoyed me as I like to blast music when I clean the house and sing and dance around.
So I get to school. Thats grand and then I get back home again about half 10 or so.

Cleaned the house from top to bottom and sorted, dusted, hoovered, cleaned, washed, etc etc. I have never been so exhausted. I'm ready to drop. I also made dinner for this evening and cleaned out my car.

Anyways, as I am taking a long overdue break about half 5, I sat down, for maybe about 2 minutes, and Sean comes bursting in the door. Yelling something about the fridge and explosion.
I ran into the kitchen and sure enough, a HUGE puddle of water had accumulated on the kitchen floor, covering mst of the floor. I pulled the fridge out and saw that the water pump for the ice machine doo-dad on the fridge had punctured and was pissing water everywhere.
Me being the fast thinking person that I am got towels and called mom. heheheh. Mom told me to turn the water off, which I did. That stopped the water from going everywhere and I mopped up as best I could.

Dad has to get a new filter tomorrow, but thank god that the fridge isn't broken, we cannot afford a new one>_<

And that was eventful day. How can something so seemingly easy and not dangerous turn into a fucking calamity around me?
I'm a jinx. -_-

If I get called Calamity Jade I swear I will hunt you down and share my bad luck with you^_^

All Shook Up

Today has to have been the worst day.

It started off all well and good. And because its a Monday I usually go to the library so I have to take the car. Mom said that it was really icy out and to be careful. That was grand, I literally did not go over 20MPH. I was really slow, and i didn't use the break. Now right up the road from where I live there's a nasty corner on a hill, I was going maybe 10MPH and I hit the corner the wrong way coming into it and got caught on the ice which sent me flying across from one side of the road to the other. Its dangerous to use your breaks so I didn't touch them. Right in front of me however was a school bus. Had I of gone into the back of it, I wouldn't be writing this. Anywho, so i slammed the breaks on and went flying sideways into the bank, the impact being on my side.
Luckily nothing was dented scratched or whatever.
Sean however was yelling at me and making me feel worse. For those of you who don;t know Sean is my 14 year old brother ¬_¬
Now i was pretty shaken up and did not appreciate being yelled at by someone who doesn't have their license.
I got into school no bother.

At lunch time I found out that Shelly had to go to hospital and got 6 stitches in her had because she slit her hand on a broken glass. She had 2 locals and a tetnas and lost alot of blood. And on top of that she has major exams next week as this is her final year in college and she can't write. She has to get the dressing changed on Wednesday and she may have to have that piece of skin removed because of the way it was cut.

Adam also dropped his phone and smashed it to pieces. AND Whats worse, I got the library and they didn't have my book >_<

At least no one was seriously injured, its just been a REALLY shitty day. My head hasn't been in anything at all. My hands are still shaking.

Meet.....

My turtle.
I stole him from Top Gear.
His name...
Sir Stanly Óisin Quinlan Tang Blake II


The idea of the name is because I wanted a name beginning with an S. The "Sir" bit came from Baxter. Óisin - because I like the name. Quinlan- Hes my favorite Jedi. Tang - I saw a Mustang after I stole him, and Mustangs are one of my favorite cars. and Blake the Second because I have a Blake the Dragon, and so they can be related :)

Saturday 29th of November

TOP GEAR!
I had to get up at 5am, and I didn't go to bed until half 12 as one of my friends text me when I was falling asleep and I ended up talking to them for a while.
Anyways got up at 5, my car had ice one the windshield and it was FREEZING outside. I picked Laura up and got to Aislings, I was panicing as I thought we were going to be late. We weren't well in time :)
Bus journey was tiring and what not but we got up there in reasonably good time.
We finally got out to the RDS about just before 9 and queued up. We moved relatively fast and got inside.
I had my video camera out and we were messing with it. Anywho I was putting it in my bag when we were about to go in and the security guy told me to go take it to the office, so i panicked thinking "I won't get this back". So I got out of the queue and went to take it down and then he just said "You know what girls its fine. But if it comes out during the show you'll be kicked out. No questions asked."
So that was grand. Got inside got out seats. and saw these bloody ads about 50times.

The show itself was AMAZING! If you get chance to see it definitly go. Mmmm Richard Hammond :) Hes even better in person.

What friends are for

As many people may know, I'm doing a portfolio to get into IADT Art College.
As I have been doing this, I have been calling in favours from a few of my friends who have been nice enough to be in my portfolio.
Yesterday I asked one of my friends Donal, and I quote "Can I borrow your face and upper half". And as vague as that was he said if it was in the name of Art I could. (I love having friends who act in shows too btw;))

Anywho, I got the pictures I needed, if I get it done this week I will post a picture ^_^

thats all for now ttfn

Dublin

I'd been planning to go to Dublin now for a few weeks to go to the IADT open day.
After several people pulling out etc, I managed to convince my brother Sean to come with.
After sleeping in and missing the bus, missing the 2nd bus and Eddie Rockets being packed, we finally got around to business. IADT was awesome and I DEFINITELY want to go there.
And shopping, I managed to get a few xmas presents, I still need to get more though ¬_¬
Eugh, how I hate being broke.

So a short update but still

Stupid shit week

First I'm updating on the Stephanie Plum series. I finished book 4 today, started book five *Checks* an hour ago and I'm now about 80-90 pages in¬_¬ This is Ridiculous I seriously need to sort out my priorities.

Anywho, So after a shitty start to my week its....not gotten better¬_¬ Its still shit and I had an awful night last night, which I do not care to discuss.
However, I managed to talk Sean around to the idea of coming to Dublin with me, so at least thats semi-good news and I'm going to see Max Payne on saturday, I *Think* IF my plans don't get fucked over that is.

Hmmm... What else, I *NEED* to do homework now, so I'm going to do that and hopefully get some art started as I am seriously behind which is shit>_<

Anyways

People Suck

I had so many plans going on this week but no.
I got stood up by someone 3 times last week and at the weekend, so that's seriously annoyed me. I clear my plans and then I get stood up by the same person, THREE TIMES! If you clear your plans for someone, and that someone can't make it, it would be at least polite to tell the person you're not going to make it. People are so rude and inconsiderate.
Oh and I was meant to be going to Dublin on Saturday to get a shit tonne of shopping and look around this college I want to go to, and again I have got canceled on, and I have since asked a few other people and they are either busy, or at work.
I find it convenient that when I want to go somewhere or something people seem to be busy, but when someone wants something from me they're all over me.
I understand that some people are genuinely busy, which cannot be helped, but there is a select few that I know are not.
I'm in a pretty miffed mood now and I have no idea if I am going to Dublin or not now as I don't exactly want to go to Dublin alone. So we'll see.
Ugh people suck.
Did I mention that?
Blerg >_<

Little ray of sunshine this evening aren't I?

Stephanie Plum

I promised to do a post about the Stephanie Plum series a few blogs ago and I'm now getting to it.

A few weeks ago Denise was telling me about this book she was reading (It was 3 books in one) and how the main character was so similar to certain attributes that we (Meaning D and I) both have. After reading several HILARIOUS passages from it I was all "I'm getting this tomorrow I HAVE to read it!!!"

Basically Stephanie Plum looses her job at a lingerie store and needs money. She turns to her cousin Vinnie who runs a Bail Bond company (They pick up people who have skipped out on there court appearance, Failure to Appear or FTA) So a Bounty Hunter^_^

In the first book called One For The Money, she is going after Joe Morelli who is a cop who has shot and killed someone close range and has gone on the run. Thing is Morelli and her have a tangled history which causes some hilarious and slightly painful moments.

Currently I'm on book 4. And I have to say I LOVE the names, (Hot Six making me giggle for ages after Shaunna thought it read HOT SEX and had a horrified face and asked wtf kind of books I read)

Stephanie Plum Series

* One for the Money
* Two for the Dough
* Three to Get Deadly
* Four to Score
* High Five
* Hot Six
* Seven Up
* Hard Eight
* Visions of Sugar Plums (Holiday Novella)
* To the Nines
* Ten Big Ones
* Eleven on Top
* Twelve Sharp
* Plum Lovin' (Holiday Novella)
* Lean Mean Thirteen
* Plum Lucky (Holiday Novella)
* Fearless Fourteen
* Plum Spooky


I think I might update as I go, as in mark off the ones I have read.
Currently its 1-4 (Excluding 3 as the library didn't have it, BUT I might buy it in Dublin as I am desperate. ¬_¬)
Also D has got me into reading the James Patterson books Roses are Red, and then after I finish it Violets are Blue. ^_^

GO READ THEM! They're fantastic.

A few decent weekends to come

The next few weekends are going to be completely mental. But in a kinda good way.
This weekend I was working yesterday, today I need to do homework, then I'm going swimming and maybe the gym with a few friends and then maybe the movies, I doubt the movies as I can't really afford it. I think I'm heading over to James's this evening too, I'm picking him up after work and we're going to his to play GH4 ^_^ With drums and everything yay^_^
And Sunday I am working for Tessa. So Yeah mental weekend.

Next week, I'm working Friday, IADT Open Day in Dublin on the Saturday, which I seriously cannot wait for. Its the Art College I want to apply for. James and I have decided to head up and get some Christmas shopping done as well so that means I can get some of that done^_^ And when we get home from that I have Donal's party so we're going to head to that too.

The weekend of the 28th, Friday I am working and Saturday will be the best! I'm going to Top Gear in Dublin and I'm stoked. I cannot wait. The only thing is our show is at 11 so we have to leave Monaghan maybe at 6am be in Dublin by 8 get breakfast and get to the RDS so we can get our seats.

AND Finally the Weekend after that I am not working the friday as I swapped with Donna(<3 Donna) and I'm going to see Des Bishop in Castleblaney ^_^ And working on the Saturday.

So Yeah Mental.
And I need to get my shit together and what not to go swimming.... now where on earth did I put my swimsuit and goggles.... This might take a while >_<

An extract

For english i had to do an essay, so I took, "My view on modern History"
I decided to do The American General Elections, Gay Marriage and Abortion. I asked the Lovely Jill Bennett could I quote her in my essay and she told me to "Go for it" So, here is an extract from the essay, its all the part on Gay Marriage.






My Take on Recent History
...Continuation of a pervious paragraph covering the elections...
This brings me onto an issue that has had alot of media coverage in the past year. This year saw the overturn of the ban on Gay marriage in California. It saw the marriages of Out musician Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels, and of course Americas sweethearts Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Di Rossi. Their wedding was covered in many magazines, which I really admired the media for, they didn’t focus on the fact that two women were getting married, and treated it like any other wedding between two celebrities.
But as we all know with a great thing comes bad news, homophobic views and controversy. When I heard about proposition 8 in California, I was outraged. I am an open minded person and I believe in equal rights for all and having many gay friends I understand and agree with their views on this issue. For those who don’t know, Proposition 8 is aiming to ban gay marriage in the state of California, like that of Proposition 2 in Florida.
During the Vice Presidential debate, when Joe Biden and Sarah Palin were asked about Gay Marriage both said they did not support it. And even went so far as to say they “Tolerate” gay people. I’m sorry, Tolerate? Tolerate is used in the context to put up with, they “Put up with” gay people? Does that sound wrong to anyone else? Such a statement is highly offensive.
These right winged conservatives seem to be hiding behind religion as their key issue, as to why gay marriage should be banned. The first amendment is separation of church and state. “Congress shall have no law respecting an establishment of religion”. Catholic religion seems to be dictating laws. This, in my opinion is wrong. The population of America is not made up of all Catholics. In the Reform Jewish religion Gay marriage is supported and accepted.
I asked Out actress Jill Bennett, if I could quote her opinion, and she raises several interesting points. “1100 rights are afforded to married couples”. Eleven hundred. She goes on to say that “Laws attached to marriage are civil rights” These laws are banning gay people from certain rights. Which, again I found distressing. “A gay couple who have been together for 50years have less rights than a couple married in Vegas after 5 minutes of knowing each other. Does that seem fair? “And what was the response Ms Bennett got from a conservative? “Life isn’t fair”.
The question on my mind and that of Jill’s and many other peoples is “How Gay Marriage affects these peoples?” It doesn’t, they claim that is violates the sanctions of marriage between a man and a woman, and that they don’t accept it. Again Jill had an excellent answer, “People don’t have to accept it-just the courts do”. I completely agree with everything Jill said and I believe that change and evolution is needed.
It’s not just the catholic religion who have a problem with gay marriage, the Mormon religion have given a considerable amount of money to vote “Yes on 8”. Again, violating the 1st amendment. I would like to know why people have a problem with it. It’s the 21st century, why are people so close minded?
In 1967, I believe, “90% of people polled around the American nation that they didn’t believe that Black and White people should be allowed to get married, but the courts voted in favour of it because under American law, they have the right not to have religion institutions dictate how their lives are lived” Jill pointed this out and I think that this is a similar situation. People are being prejudice and denying the rights of people to marry because they are of the same sex. It is wrong and I do not agree with it, I would like to know why, in a world that accepts war and killing, why can we not accept this?
When proposition 8 was voted on, the democrats may have won the elections, but prejudice and homophobia prevailed, and “Yes on 8” was set into action, voiding the marriages of gay couples throughout California. The gay community set to the streets of West Hollywood in protest. This denial of rights in a single blow deeply upsets me. They are making the gay community feel like 2nd class citizens. What gives them the right and authority to do so?
In a nation of supposed open minded people, this is a step backwards and just goes to show that homophobia and discrimination is still strong at work.

I should really finish my Poetry question.

I hate poetry questions.

In English we have to write a personal response to some poets poetry, you study like 6 poems for each poet and you cover 4-5 poems in your answer.
I do not like it whatsoever.
Its stupid, I wouldn't mind if we got to pick our poets but I don't relate with ANY of the poets or poetry on the course so far. >_<
Currently I am writing about Derek Walcott who WILL come up as this is his first year on the Leaving Certificate.
I think whoever came up with the idea of poetry on the leaving cert was having a laugh ¬_¬

If I was to write a letter to him it would be as follows:
Dear Sir/Madam
You are an ass.
Because of you I have to study 6 poets(7 but I haven't done the last yet) and I am not impressed with the choice.
Is this a joke? Because seriously, it isn't funny. Why is poetry on the LC? Is it to wreck the already aggravated and stressed 6th year to the point where they cannot form a proper sentence without the starter sentence of "It is of my opinion..." or "I found ______ poetry to affect me".
Well you know what? I do not care for this poetry, I did NOT have a personal connection with this poetry and I don't care if this poet had sex with some girl on a beach.
Why can't we do Poe? or Burton? or some sort of interesting poems like limericks?
"A pirate, history relates
Was scuffling with some of his mates
When he slipped on a cutlass
Which rendered him nutless
And practically useless on dates"

Or my favorite Poe poem
"To Isaac Lea"
It was my choice or chance or curse
To adopt the cause for better or worse
And with my worldly goods & wit
And soul & body worship it ----

Now isn't that more interesting? I rest my case.
Yours etc.
Jade

Oh and on an unrelated, but not that unrelated note, I heart the Stephanie Plum series, I'm going to do a post about it in a bit. IF I get this English finished and get a shower.

Sleep Deprivation is a bitch.

Work was tiring yesterday. I mainly know this as I got up at half 12.
Now half of my day is gone. Literally.
I still need to study, ALOT and shower, go grocery shopping, do some art and god knows what else I have to do>_<
Because of the hour going back my sleep pattern is all over the place so I don't know what going on, I usually get up at around 8-9 lately its been 12/1. Its ridiculous as I'm getting nothing done>_< I also wake up more exhausted and I haven't been eating much. Excluding Halloween, I am still feeling the repercussions of eating that candy, blerg.

I have to buy fave paints today as well for art, I will let you know how it turns out, I haven't had any ideas really yet.

Eugh, I hate the smell of work sometimes =0

Anywho that's all I have for now.

Oh no wait, I was watching the SNL clips earlier which made me want to get a tee made, maybe something like
WWTD? - What would Tina Do?
Or
WWLLD? - What would Liz Lemon do?
Or
Blerg.

Yeah, I'm tired and sleep deprived and haven't had coffee yet>_<

Wooooooooooo Week off

Hurrah I love Halloween, and not just for the week off.
Sunday (Last night) I went out with Michelle, we got ready at Adams, after the spider incident, we headed out, it was FREEZING outside. We went over to McKennas and got a drink, and sat in the corner.
For a Bank Holiday it was eerily quiet. We decided to screw it and get food and booze and head back to Adams, so I got myself a bottle of Malibu and some coke and some Chinese and we headed back. We played Lego Batman till like 2, (I fell asleep at like 11)
OH WAIT! When we got back after we ate we were like
"We need desert"
"I MADE CHEESECAKE EARLIER"
"Oh lets call mom and tell her to bring it in"
Bearing in mind its like 11-12 at this point
"Hmm.. I wonder if there is anywhere open"
So off we went down to the town to see if anywhere was open.
... yeah we went to McDonald's to get McFlurrys.

Anywho Monday (Today) I got up around 9, and Adam and I made a Map on Far Cry, and watched Idle Hands, I love that film, and we ate cereal and coffee. It was awesome.

Thats about all I have done.
Cept Sunday, I watched Identity With Denise, Its brilliant, creepy, but brilliant.

And Hocus Pocus is awesome.
And this blog entry is everywhere, I really thing I put too much Malibu in the last drink i had hmmmm....

One more week

Yay my first semester as a 6th year is nearly over. Just one more week, then I have Halloween Holidays.
So in the next two weeks before Halloween I'm going to start gathering Halloween films to watch with Denise over the week leading up to Halloween.
I LOVE Halloween and cannot wait. Not sure what I will be doing for it though (Slushies and rum, jell-o shots and candy FTW)
I might dress up and go out, I'll see what people are doing, although I'll probably end up being a loner and staying at home watching movies and scaring the shit out of myself. If I had the money I would love to go over and see my nan, as I always used to spend holidays with her and I loved it.
Oh well, maybe next year?

I just realized I'm surrounded by coffee mugs and water bottles ¬_¬ I think I drink too many liquids.
Today I think I might get some art done, do some homework and study a bit, maybe watch a few films, we'll see.

Tortilla wraps...

ARE NOT SANDWICH'S !!!!!

They're not, you want to know why?
They're tortilla wraps! And nothing else.

I was having a tortilla wrap today and on the packet it said useful ideas:
Can be used for:
-Burritos
-Wraps
-Sandwiches

I'm sorry but um what??? A tortilla sandwich? Um no thank you.
Here's the definition of a sandwich:

–noun
1. two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.
2. open sandwich.
3. something resembling or suggesting a sandwich, as something in horizontal layers: a plywood sandwich.
–verb (used with object)
4. to put into a sandwich.
5. to insert between two other things: to sandwich an appointment between two board meetings.



A sandwich is a food item made of two or more slices of bread with one or more layers of a filling. NOT A TORTILLA!

PTM

Yes it is that time of year, Parent Teacher Meeting.

Now as some of you may know, I LOVE PTM, we get to go to ours which makes it all the more exciting. The fact that I used parent teacher meeting and exciting in one sentence shows how much of a geek I am.
All in All mine went pretty well, I'm doing pretty excellent in all my subjects, i just need to raise my standard a bit in Chemistry and Biology as it has fallen ever so slightly so I must regain my A stance upon it as Ms F said I am well capable of an A1 :D

Why must there always be SOMETHING wrong?!?

Do you even need to be told anymore? I am so accident prone it is unreal, bad luck seems to stick to me like glue.
I have, yet again unintentionally hurt myself. I was doing my homework this morning innocently enough and a leaned back on the chair to stretch and yawn and what happens? And almighty big CRACK. I was like wtf was that, at first I though oh its just one of my arms. And all of a sudden I felt a searing pain in my jaw and ear.
Yeah thats right, I dislocated my jaw. Absolutely no idea how it happened. I of course Panicked and was in tears and ran around looking for mom. I finally found her outside and I was like "Mom, my jaw!" through sobs, and she was on the phone so she told who ever it was she would call them later as Jade has cracked her jaw ¬_¬
Mom couldn't feel anything out of place but everytime she touched it it was incredibly painful. So we put ice on it, which seemed to make it worse and still incredibly sore.
We decided to put a heat pack on it, which worked wonders.
My jaw is now back in place, but keeps cracking and moving when I talk etc. With them going to Sweden tomorrow morning I'm screwed. So I may have to go to A&E tomorrow >_< Fantastic.
Why must accidents be drawn to me?

Too many tests.....

I'm stressed.
And not in the whole AGH STRESS way.
In the actual doctors and everything ¬_¬ I have severe stress, Hurrah >_< Typical really.
Now it is mainly due to the fact that I'm trying to do too much, I have exams, portfolio, and work and all this other shit going on. And I have worked myself up so much that I am exhausted. Its got to a point where I can't sleep properly anymore, I woke up around 12am last night and my arms ached and I felt physically drained, I think I was thrashing around in my dreams >_<

Anywho I have 3 tests tomorrow, 5 on Monday and another 2 on Wednesday. Its so ridiculous, I literally have no free time, and I want to Read Game of Thrones Dammit!!!

I have an art test tomorrow and Fuck learning it this evening, I'm going to read and then sleep. Work tomorrow>_< Blerg.

Free Oreos

I was in town at lunch time today, and I REALLY had a craving for melba toast, I'm not entirely sure why, so I went on a search for some.
I ended up in Flemings and managed to get some there. On my way down there was a stand there giving out free Oreos as a promotional sort of thing as they were only a €1 for a pack today. I ended up eating 2 and taking one back for Jules.

God I love getting free thins in Supermarkets, its fantastic:)

Mmmmmmmm oreos......

House Of Leaves

Today we went to Dublin to the RDS to go to Higher Options.
So Higher Options is basically where you go around different booths looking at what courses colleges have to offer. It was good fun all in all.

We went back into city center after we had looked around and most of them went shopping. I couldn't really afford to go so instead i went to look for books. I met up with Shaunna and we went to Hodges and Figgs where i bought Hedge Knight by George RR Martin, and ordered House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski and The Fairy Godmother : Tale of the Five Hundred by Mercedes Lackley. I also found Bone by Jeff Smith but it was like €35 and i couldn't afford that.

We then crossed the street and went into Waterstones, the reason for this was that I wanted House of Leaves now and would see if i could get it cheaper, it was in Waterstones but it was €25 and i was like yah no, as i had just ordered it for €18.

We casually walked down to O'Connell street as i knew there was another Waterstones and for curiosity sake i wanted to see if i could get it there.
Now i usually go straight in through the Jervis street doors but for some weird reason i decided to go in through M&S.
Which is unusual as i ALWAYS get lost and can never find the exit.
So on our way through, Shaunna said hey look its Noel. And was like who the fuck is Noel.
And she was like MIGHTY BOOSH MIGHTY BOOSH!
So i turned around and there he was, right in the middle of M&S. So she was like :O DOYUOHAVEAPEN???

Me being the geek that I am had a list of books i wanted to check so of course i had a pen. We went over to him and got him to sign the back of an IADT sheet (College i want to go to) and he was super nice and was like "Oh it was so nice to meet you" and very very super nice person.

We carried on anyways and was like ah shit we should have got a photo with him.
We figured he would be gone by then so we went to go get smoothies, and he walked straight past us. We though fuck it we'll go after him and get a picture, like the stalkers that we are. So we caught up with and him and were like "Yeah its us again, can we get a picture?"
He laughed and was like yeah sure :)


All in all it was a pretty good day, i ordered books and met Noel Fielding:D got a picture with him and an autograph:) Huzzah

Things that make me smile

I was inspired to write this as mom just came in with a plate of toast for no reason. I love mom for that <3

Snow makes me smile, theres just something so pretty about it.

Sleepy Hollow evenings make me smile, as winter is approaching the weather gets draker and foggier and colder and gives the illusion of sleepy hollow where I live, as our lane has trees going down it and I love it.

Sunny days.

My vans.

Getting things done.

My room being clean and tidy.

When everything works out.

Reading.

Watching Movies.

Having a shower and being clean.

Good hair days.

Talking to Denise.

Reeses Pieces.

Johnny Depp.

Pushing Daisies.

My Car.

When I can see my breath in the cold.

Christmas.

The Polar Express.

Chocolate.

HOT Chocolate :)

Coffee.

The Scarf my nan made me.

When its raining outside and I'm wrapped in my Duvet.

Hugs.

Our lunchtimes at school.

Concerts.

And sooooooo many other tings, thats just but a few, if I think of more I will write them down.

Ah being in a good mood is fun:)

Yet Another

While watching a Spanish TV show the other day,(Los Hombres De Paco) as I like to do, I realized that two of the main characters look kind of like two other famous actresses.
The first is Amy Adams.
Amy Adams is on the Right and Marian Aguilera on the Left.


And the second is Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer is on the Left and Laura Sánchez is on the Right:)





What do we think, am I insane or do they show similarities?

Los Hombres De Paco is excellent by the way, Its kinda like CSI but in Spanish, I LOVE it, even though I can't understand what is going on half the time ¬_¬ I need episodes with English Subs.

Guess who is sick again ¬_¬

Yeah that's right, I'm sick, yet again.
I have a pretty nasty cold, which is leaving me stuffed up and unable to sleep, a really sore and swollen throat and blocked sinuses and this all adds up in tonsillitis, as my stupid throat is all swollen and my tonsils are huge >_< Blurg.

It's pretty typical that I'm sick, yet again, when the Blues Festival is on.
I went during the day yesterday which was a bad idea I was there maybe an hour got REALLY cold, sniffily and had to come home, I slept on the couch for about an hour, and then Adam drew me a bath. (<3 him for that) I then spent the rest of the time lay on the couch cuddled into a ball with a nasty headache, nose like a tap and unable to talk.
All you could hear is random groans of pain. I feel better today, but I still feel like shit, if that makes sense. Worse off, because I was in the cold yesterday it didn't help the cold so I now have a cough as well, which is AWFUL with the bad throat.

Anywho, I need to get homework done today >_<

When I get sick I get REALLY sick >_<

Starting school, journals, sharpies.

I started back at school on tuesday.
All in all it was an ok day, I got homework, but that was to be expected. I quite enjoy school really. I have a really nice timetable this year too, which I am incredibly happy about. For a final year its a fantastic timetable.

I was also informed that i had to purchase a school journal. Now usually this journal is like A3 sized its quite a neat tidy thing. This year however its disgustingly large, which is another thing to carry around, and I am not impressed. I will put up a picture when i can be bothered.

I was invited to My Best Guy friends Debs, which is like Prom I suppose, on tuesday night, i have loads of pictures, Shell has my camera though so I will upload later. It was a fantastic night, had a few drinks, Donna kept hugging and kissing me, that was hilarious, I danced, i sang to Muse (Which James Requested) I lost my voice and got home at about half 4 it was fantastic.

I ended up not going to school the next day as i fell asleep and didn't wake up until 4pm ¬_¬

Today i was at school, again a nice enough day, and I have Just done my homework and had a shower.

Oh and i bought some new sharpies today and I may or may not have had a slight bit too much fun with them, toilet rolls, paper and body parts are no longer safe from me ¬_¬ Espicially my own, I also may or may not have drawn all over my hand with blue and purple sharpies and spent 20 minutes in the shower attempting to rub it off.

Nail polish remover works a charm ;)


Anywho i will post pictures and junk later <3

Best. Presents. Ever.

I LOVE getting mail.
Even if its complete shit i love it.

BUT when its packages its even better.
My package from Denise arrived yesterday. There was a bit of a nightmare earlier on though. I had to leave to go into town to pick up Tim and i told my brother "if the postman calls answer it as i'm waiting on a package." So that was grand anyways, at around 11 i rang him to ask him.
He said he had come but he couldnt be bothered to move so he left it. ¬_¬ He had left a form so that i could go collect it. So i rushed home to get the form, and went to the post office (Bearing in mind i had to leave for the airport at 12) got to the post office and i found out that the package wont be at the post office till 5 and i had to go to work etc. So i was pissed ¬_¬

Anywho i rang mom and asked if she would pick it up.
So she did, and it was awesome. ^_^ I heart you D :)


Oh and Tim gave me his favourite hoodie, a Jack Skellington one. I'm actually wearing it right now.



Huh, my life must be pretty uneventful to write about getting mail.... *shrugs* Its exciting and i love mail :)

This week will be awesome

Its true it will be.
Today i went into town to get my school books and booked a B&B which i will divulge into in a minute. I met up with Jules and got my books, i went and bought Julieanne hot chocolate and then went back into the school to chit chat and what not. I got home, tidied up and talked to LC.

Now the reasons this week are going to be brilliant are 2 fold.
One:
Tim (Liquidcore/LC) is coming over for 3 days to see me. Saying i'm excited is an understatement. i honestly cannot contain my happiness. I'm picking him up from the airport on Wednesday morning so yay:)

Two
And the second reason is because I have a package coming:) i can't wait:) I REALLY hope it comes soon, as Denise was explaining all the contents but not what it was so im super excited :)


Oh and i got my corset for my dress yay:) So hurrah,i absolutely love it and my dress is pretty much sorted:)


Anything else good that happens this week is just a Bonus:)

Muse Plug in Baby

Muse - Plug Me In Baby

Words cannot describe how amazing they were.
If anything they're even better live, if theres one band you HAVE to see, it's definitely Muse. They definitely do not disappoint.
When Rat Bellamy starting playing his transparent grand piano it send tingles down my spine.
There's only one band i enjoyed seeing as much as this and that was Weezer, its my favourite so far, but my god Muse are VERY close behind.
When they played Plug in Baby as one of the encore songs EVERYONE was jumping and singing and it was amazing.

The weather managed to hold out for us thank goddess, they went off, came back on and did 2 more songs then went off again and then came on for one final time and did another song.
My mind is jumping still i cant remember the set.
The lights they had were so cool too.

Books Glorious Books

I haven't wrote in AGES.
Last week i was in England visiting my grandparents, i love going to see them nan always has something for me to do.

Now usually when i go over i come back with about a million dvds, as i usually go to hmv.
This year was entirely different, i bought no dvds or cds. i bought books.
-Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer
I'm going to have to buy this again in soft cover as to match the rest of my books.
-The Dark Tower Gunslinger - Stephen King
I bought the graphic novel first then was told to read the books first so i bought the book aswell in the airport when i was coming home.
-Blood Price - Tanya Huff
I am currently reading this, it is excellent, The tv series is called Blood Ties which is based on the Vikki Nelson Series.
-Blood Trial - Tanya Huff
Theres like 5 in the series so i ordered the other 3. I have now found out that there is another. Its a series of short stories and i want it too hehe.

I ordered the other 3 in the Blood series so that brings me up to 8 books. I think thats all the ones i bought.
I also bought Lucky Charms in selfridges, some things for my friends birthday and a supergirl and a joker top.

I'm pretty sure that is it.

Oh i have to go get ready to go into town as i have to go find a dress for the Debs.

P.S
EVERYTIME i fly home from Birmingham theres always a fuck up in Dublin Airport,we had been up since 5am, we were delayed 4 hours as Dublin got flooded and technical issues with the plane, and of course the weather. When we did finally get to Dublin we had to wait another Hour and a Half to get the Bus. And my stomach and what not has been playing up for the past two weeks, i had a really bad headache, my ear was bleeding and then i was throwing up last night. >_< Eugh being sick is awful, but i feel so much better today, still sharp pains in my stomach but the headache isnt around yet and i feel pretty lively. ^_^

And so my bad luck continues............

This evening i went out with people from work, we went to the Indian, had fabulous food, good conversations and in general was an excellent night.

We then went next door to a bar, where they all sat and drank and shell and i just had a coke as we were both driving home.

We said our goodbyes and headed to the car park where i always park, shell was parked beside me and as we approached i noticed a wing mirror on the ground, as i got closer i saw the other by the side of my car.

Some sick fuckheaded bastard knocked and broke both my wing mirrors, which is now going to cost me around €150 maybe more to replace them.
So if you see any bastards around, ask if they broke any wing mirrors lately... Fucking scummy Monaghan bastards. Why don't you go and do something constructive with your life and learn a trade instead of breaking wing mirrors you assbandit!

I did however file a Guarda report and will be writing a letter to the council suggesting security cameras.

I apologize for my awful language, but it really does annoy me, feels as if i was targeted, who knows, maybe i was, but for what reason?

words can't describe....

First off i want to apologize to everyone.
I am truly sorry i haven't been on in about um 2 weeks? So i am sincerely sorry.

The last two weeks have been pretty shit, On Saturday 12th of July at around 8pm my brothers girlfriend, Michelle's dad Brain died.
He had cancer, which he only suffered with for 7months, and spread around most of his major organs.
The wake was sunday, which was the first time i had ever seen a dead body. Although, Brian did look very well, alot better than he had done in the last few weeks.
The funeral was monday and the amount of people there was unreal. It was extremely sad and Shell, hasn't seemed the same since, same with Adam.

After that, the internet had been taken off us, meaning Sean and I, as seans room was an unholy mess.
On top of that my phone is refusing to send and receive emails, or use the internet so i may have to go get that fixed.

Some time after that, Dad had an accident with a chimney extractor thing and sliced a big part of his finger out, he refused to go to ER and it bleed quite alot.
After that a few days after he fell out of the attic, catching his wrist on the way down and chipped a bone in his wrist resulting in me driving him to Drogheda to go get a cast on, in which he refused to have on, ¬_¬ so he has a broken wrist and refuses to wear a cast.

On top of that, i fell over the other day, bruised both my knees and cuts on my hands.
And had a huge fight with my brother which resulted in me getting a cold and some sort of virus.
So woo ¬_¬

I do however have one piece of good news, which is i went to see The Dark Knight which Rocked, definitely recommend going to see :)

Oh and apparently i am going to England next monday, for um, i actually don't know how long, but i have alot of art to do which i REALLY need to do.

Oh, and dad also got stung by something the other evening which has resulted in his leg swelling and barely being able to walk. so its been a pretty crappy last two weeks and i really can't deal with anymore shit, its getting to a point where i have had enough and i want to go bury my head in a hole.

Anyways, thats all for now

Mickey Finns

I have a whole bottle of Green Apple Mickey Finns, and i've had it for like a week, and it keeps looking at me ¬_¬

I don't want to drink it by myself, anyone want some?


Anywho, my birthday was excellent i'm now 18 and, in all honesty, it feels no different.
Are we meant to feel different? As if one day you're 17, and the next your 18, and you're meant to undergo some huge transformation where you're more mature and grown-up?
Does anyone feel more mature as 18 than 17?

I'm going to end this now, as i have lost my trail of thought.

Last Day of Seventeen

Today is my last ever day of being 17.
I'm quite surprised, as i had a very sinister dream that i would die by the age of 16 ¬_¬ so i have to say im glad that i haven't. ¬_¬

After thinking it over today, 17 has been one of the best years of my life so far, i have met so many great people. And done so much in the space of a year. I kind of don't want it to end.

17 started of shit, no one remembered my birthday, and some bad luck, it then started to look up, i met Denise, and many other people, i have been to different shows, movies and games. And of course meeting one of my closest friends, who i have only known since march.

Saturday the 5th of July.
I had Ciara, Cakey, Jules and Donna over to hang out watch music etc. After many jello shots


and other kinds of shots and drinks etc, i ended up singing maps by the yeah yeah yeahs and walking around with a saucepan on my head saying, "I need it to go skiing"
¬_¬ i have no idea why, this is what i have been told, i don't remember much until like 2am when i was sober after drinking 6 glasses of water (Thank you Denise <3) and then talking for 3 hours and getting 2 hours sleep ¬_¬


it was one of the best days, and i cant wait to do it again.

Im tired and i cant think of much else to write, so yeah if i think of any i will edit and add in :)

Busy busy busy

This has been one hell of a busy week.
First off i started painting my room, all the painting is finished now thank god, it took nearly a week, who would have thought that 2 block colours would take so long >_<
Monday
i was working, meant to only be working from 6-10.30, instead i worked to 12, and it was so much fun, it was very very quiet and we did so much messing around its a wonder we got any work done.
Tuesday
Was an interesting day, Tuesday is the day where work is closed, I met Donna and Shelly for lunch, which was good, and after Donna and i decided to go for a walk....in the rain, so we spent the whole day out at Hollywood park, we have pictures and everything and then after went and called upon another friend from work, now when i say called upon, we just turned up at her house, we stayed fro two hours talking random shite, and we weren't allowed to leave until we commited to going to the Forum on wednesday night. The Forum is a huge nightclub in town, pretty much dancing, drinking and ahem, other things go on there.
Wednesday
i had to work, 6-10.30, i couldnt go out after as i had no id, which meant Donna couldnt go out, so i tried to get her to go, she wouldnt listen to me, but in the end she decided she would. I finished work and she rang me directly on 10.30 and we talked for ages before she finally decided to get ready.
Thursday
Well today, woke up at like 10 by Donna calling me, i was in surprisingly high spirits, i drove into town and met Donna fro Brunch, we walked around, got ice cream and headed out to Rossmore where we fell asleep on the grass for an hour, then realized that Donna had a football match o i had to take her home. I had work again and got home about 30minutes ago :)

Tomorrow im working again, i REALLY hope its to Finish as i love working to finish now, its fun. then im working Sunday and Saturday if i can get the hours. And i think i might be going shopping for a dress for my 18th yay:)

I'm Just Like a Bee

I am. I am working working working.

Well in all honesty, I'm steadily working, but i have alot to get through. For example, i have to finish, well start decorating my room, going to Ikea has been put on hold for another week until i can get some things done.

I have taken extra hours at work so that i can afford to go to America next year, which reminds me i have something to say about that at the end. My hours have been pretty good, i worked Thursday, Friday, will be working 5:30pm to 1:30am today, then i will be working Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. So lots of days, which means lots of pay ^_^

I have been given more books to read, I currently have A Game of Thrones-George RR Martin, The Host-Stephanie Meyer , On The Road-Jack Kerouac, A Swiftly Tilting Planet-Madeline L'Engle and Twilight-Stephanie Meyer (Again) on the go. I wish people would stop giving me books to read, well actually i don't but i have to seriously get some finished >_<

I am finally getting some of my portfolio done, which is good, my friend Claire is going to help me get things together, get some pictures etc. As she did hers last year and is going into art college ^_^

Now because i have all this on the go, i only get snatched minutes on the computer. which means by the time i get home from work 11 or later, I'm usually ready to drop. I have Sunday off, so i plan on relaxing and messing on msn and getting some art done. We shall see though. Someone will find someway to interrupt my peacefulness *evil stare*

Anyways

Oh America. Well my friend Jules is currently over in America, she'll be there for 2 weeks. We were talking about my 18th before she left, and how i didn't know what i wanted. Now i am a year older than Jules, although we're in the same year, Shes 18 next July. And her mom said she can have a ticket to NY for her 18th, and how it would be cool if Jules, Cakey and I could all go. (Cakey is 18 next year too). So i talked to mom about it and i think we, as in Cakey Jules and I, are going to go to NY for 2 weeks(maybe) at the start of September 09. I'm pretty excited and it gives me something to save for:) So New York here i come. Now because i am going to hopefully be there for 2 weeks, i might go see Denise while i am there. I need to figure lots of things out, like visas, where we're staying etc. So watch this space.

It really does break my heart....

The cat brought home a rabbit.

Now this is their idea of a gift, so of course i had to reward it or they get all huffy, yes cats get huffy.

One of the dogs took to guarding said rabbit when the cat brought it back (The poor thing had already died). I had to grab the dog while she had put it down and put her inside so that i could remove the rabbit from the back garden. I picked up the rabbit, and buried him.
I know its all in the circle of life etc, but it really breaks my heart to see its poor lifeless body.

Anyways, RIP Mr Rabbit.

Complete Bordem

..... Well not really, i have been quite busy the last few days, Nan and Grandad went back today so i went over to Jules and hung out with her and Laura all day watching Laguna Beach and My sweet 16... ¬_¬ Don't ask. hahaha, pretty much same planned for tomorrow ^_^

While i was bored earlier, i watched a couple of films and noticed that two of my favorite actresses look quite a bit alike.

Now i couldn't find decent pictures where they look very alike, but this was the best i could do.
So on the left is Rhona Mitra and on the right is Christina Cox.
Well i think they look alike.

Doomsday

Doomsday
Recently i saw the film Doomsaday. Now when i say recently i mean, about 2-3 weeks ago. I have been patiently waiting for this film to come out, as i love the actress who has the lead role, Rhona Mitra.
I have followed most of her work from Hollowman and Party of 5 to The Practice and Boston Legal.
She is an excellent actress and doesn't get nearly as enough credit as she should do. She was the original Lara Croft Actress and has been in many "Big-Named" films.
So you can imagine i was overjoyed to hear that she had the staring role in Doomsday, not so much that she was the lead Female character, but the Lead character, she was no damsel in distress or a side character.
The film is set in a futuristic world where a Retro virus has all but wiped out Scotland. The sole survivor being Eden (Mitra).In the first few minutes of the film we see Eden being shot by guards preventing the Scottish people from leaving, and she is handed over to the armed forces to be taken to England.
Fast forward some 10years and we see a grown up Eden. That is where the main story starts, Survivors have been spotted in Glasgow and Eden has been given a team to go up to Scotland to retrive the serum for the virus.

I am a fan of most action films, it takes a bit to interest me though, if a Film has a good plot and good characters i will watch it. This has everything, bar romance for Eden, which in all honesty i was quite relieved. It would have taken away from her character.
I am so happy that the lead character is a woman, as she is excellent, she kicks ass, literally, theres no messing around. Shes a strong character, i don't think any other actress could have pulled off this role. Rhona played it to perfection and i will most definitely be buying it when it comes out.

If you have the chance to watch this film do, it is excellent, it deserves alot more press than it is getting.

Summer Plans

I partly stole this idea from Denise, but its a good way of getting things done this summer, and i HAVE to keep to it.

My plans for summer are as follows...
1. Do My Portfolio.
This is quite a good first goal, mainly as it decides whether i get into college or not next year. I have to start drawing more and what not.

2.Work out.
Mainly just to keep myself active, i think maybe start again at one hour a day, my whole routine got fucked up when my exams started so i must get back into it again.

3.Read more.
my aim is 20 books, im starting simple as i have read most that i own and i can't afford to buy more.

4.Save money.
This is because i want to go to America next year after my leaving to see Denise and a few other people.

5.Ties in with number 4, Buy less, again as i want to save, its proving hard as i was in town earlier and wanted to buy at least 4 things >_<

6.Do some extra shifts at work.
Again to get more money up as i may have to stop the job after christmas in order to study.

7.Finish watching some anime.
I have alot to get through this summer, maybe 2 episodes of 2 different shows a day, so one of one episode and one of another.

8.Finish some TV shows/ Movies.
Again i have alot to get through and it would be nice to lighten the load a bit.

9.STUDY.
This is one of the important ones. I was disappointed with my results so i might study a bit over the summer just to keep myself up to date instead of going back in september and having to learn it all again.

10.Learn to speak more fluent Irish.
I would like to speak irish more fluently, mainly for my own amusement, i love the language and would like to be able to uphold a proper conversation.

11.Do up my room.
I have already started on this, i have pulled down all the posters an im packing things away as i write this post, i am going to Ikea on tuesday to get things for my room then i might start painting wednesday.

12.Take a few trips.
I just got back from italy yesterday. I will see about this, i might just go to a few places for the day around Ireland, but nothing big as i can't afford it, i might go to England in August but i will see. I would love to go i love seeing my grandparents but financially at the moment it doesn't look feasible.

13.Spend more time with friends.
Well the way things are looking most people are away for a while, but i would like to spend time with my friends this summer unlike last summer where i barely saw them, now that i have a car it may be easier.

14.Cook more.
I like cooking, i need to get more recipes, so we shall see how this goes.


For now that is all i have they're all quite long winded goals, mainly as i have big expectations haha.

*P.S. Thank you Denise for doing your goal updates, its a really good idea, hence why i half stole it <3

Italia

I was going to do a blow by blow account about Italy, but I'm thinking now i might just outline a few of the things that happened.

I would also like to just add, the first day i was there, i got so frustrated that i went out and bought a pen and notepad so that i could write down my thoughts.... I'm such a geek it is unbelievable.

The first fiasco was before we'd even left the country. First off let me just say, I was driving one car and mom was driving the other, now on the way up the motorway, we were constantly overtaking and as we each passed each other, someone would end up giving someone in the other car the finger, so it was all good fun.
When we got to the airport, there was no check-in desk open for us, so we waited around for about a half an hour, where i was mostly watching the other desks and famous-person hunting, i was secretly wishing to go to America, haha, wishful thinking.
We were the first to check in which was all fine, no over weight cases, and as always i beeped in security, i swear they just like feeling me up ¬_¬
Food was the next priority, there was so many fuck ups with the food, and the fucking alarm kept going off, we waited over an hour to get food, which was just stupid. We ended up having to just go down to the gate right after, which is about a 15 minute walk as its down a huge passageway >_<

When we were waiting by the gate, i needed caffeine so i went off to get coffee just about sat down when i got back with my coffee and people were standing ready to board, so i burnt myself with the coffee >_<
Then up on the screen it flashes delayed.
We ended up being delayed by about an hour.

When we landed we had to get our cases etc and get onto this bus out to the car hire place. As we were sat on the bus i noticed a sign on the back which was in italian and translated (Very badly) into English which read
"For Attention to Kind customer, we do not take responsibility for The Lost Object"
I nearly keeled over laughing, i couldn't decided whether this was an actual object or they meant lost belongings. *giggles again*

Again another delay when we got the car there was an accident on the Autostrade and we had to be diverted, we got to the hotel at about 12:30 Irish time, 1:30 Italian time and 7:30 American time. (Well Denise Time)

The next morning we walked into Desenzano for breakfast, like a 2 minute walk if even, and i had no sunglasses, as i think i said in a previous blog, they had got broken, so i was squinting and looked quite annoyed. Anyway we sat down at this cafe and ordered coffee, i ordered a hot chocolate, and they ordered croissants, now i do not like them, i haven't for a while and no matter how much "But you used to like them" and "Come on they're really nice" was not going to convince me otherwise to eat them. The hot chocolate also turned into disaster, it was literally melted chocolate in a cup, i am not kidding, i should have taken a picture, but i was in such a bad mood already that i was in no mood to laugh/joke etc. As i have possibly said before, i am NOT a mornings person.

We walked around for a while, i bought 2 pairs of sunglasses for like €12, (Thanks Denise for that idea <3) and a new belt. Now baring in mind its about 11am it was about 32 C and getting hotter. We got back to the apartment and went swimming (We had a pool)
Shortly after that we all got ready and off we went again, this time up the mountain in a cable car type of thing, it was really really pretty.
Oh on the way to it, we had some weird conversations. For Example
Adam tried to Ro-Shambo me for the Naboo Island Retreat in Lake Como, but i have dibs on it. This all started as Shelly called dibs on a castle we went past so i called Como palace and Adam decided he wanted it too, i made the HUGE mistake of saying Ro-Shambo my ass, when he said he would ro-shombo me for it >_<
If anyone is wondering Ro-shambo, is when you kick each other in the groin until one of the two falls down.
Anyways, we also went past a crazy golf (Denise, remind me to show you video sometime)
and a place called Movie Land, we wanted to go there but dad said we were too old, to which Michelle yelled "We're NEVER too old for Movie land!!!"

Oh Dad missed the cable car on the way back down and he had to wait for the next one.
Oh we went to this sports shop and i managed to get the Vans i had been looking for Prison Issue #23


In the evenings when it got dark was the best, all the lights it was amazing, and it was really warm too. The first night there was classical music playing in the center of the town, and it was soooo pretty.

So the next morning i got rushed out and i forgot to take a spare t-shirt which was a HUGE mistake. We were heading to Venice and i love Venice. Again it is incredibly hot, and it was gradually getting hotter as the day went on, i had stupidly worn a 3/4 length sleeve top, it was thin but my god was i hot, i thought i was going to melt, i had a very uncomfortable experience while there, my back got so hot, the weirdest thing was i was dying of the heat, but you couldn't tell, if you touched my skin i was like ice. Weird.(Which i have been informed is a sign of sunstroke, alot of things now make sense)
We ate in the same restaurant as i did in March and i loved it, i got a waiters number, heh, he was very very nice, and the service is excellent ^_^
We walked around Sr.Marks, i bought i new t-shirt as i was too hot in the other.
On the way back to the car we stopped int he infamous Billa supermarket, i heart Billa, its cheap and has air conditioning ^^
500ml cans of Coke FTW!!


Oh shit i nearly forgot we went on a gondola tour around Venice, definitely worth €100 that was for the 6 of us, its a fixed price i think, so it was amazing, i would recommend it for sure. We went past Casanovas house ;)
Again got back and went for a swim, i was lucky this holiday that my hair didn't turn green.

Didn't do much on Thursday hung around mainly. Oh went to the Simply market in the evening i spent 30 minutes picking pasta and i ended up going with normal spaghetti as i couldn't choose ¬_¬

The last day no one wanted to leave, we packed up the car and headed out to Verona, went to Juliettes balcony, again it was very hot, i like Verona its very very pretty.
We headed off to the Orio center after that, i won't even go into that ¬_¬
and finally to the airport.

We finally got home at about 2am i think. God i missed my bed.

Overachiever? Psht....

I hate school reports.

I don't understand why they can't send them out like 2 weeks before school starts again. I got mine today and now i'm going to feel shit for most of the summer.

In my defense i had just got stitches the week of the test and i could barely write so writing fast and for about 2 hours SUCKED!!!

Really it was quite good i mean i only failed maths and that is because i suck at it and i hate it with a firey passion.

I am one of those students who likes to get A's and B's and is quite annoyed when i don't get it. I managed pretty well couple of B's and 2 A's i think but i most annoyed about my science subjects. I LOVE Chemistry and Biology and put the most work into them, and its seriously disappointing when it doesnt show. I got a B in Biology and a C in Chemistry, (Weird don't you think?) I have the same teacher for both and she is excellent.
I'm really pissed at myself as i know i can do o much better and i am usually getting A's in both.

I think now that i have seen that i am more determined than ever to get back up there and get in the A's and if that means studying those two over the summer as well as doing my portfolio then so be it. I am NOT going to get crap results again.



Anyways thats my thoughts for now

Why must you do it?

Opinionated people.
They annoy the hell out of me.

Seriously though what is their problem? Now i'm not one to say "You can't have an opinion" I love peoples opinions, its the people that have and opinion on EVERYTHING and even things that do not concern them.
Even that doesn't annoy me as much as the opinionated people, who have an opinion on things that don't concern them, and they seem to want to argue their opinion to the point where you HAVE to believe what they believe.
Why do people do it? I will listen to your view, i may even comment, by saying i disagree, this is NOT an open invitation to lay into me as if i personally attacked you.

I respect your opinion, i may disagree, but i will not force my views onto you, so why do it to me? it is most annoying and it's as if your views are more important.

At the point when this happens i usually just shut up and let them have the last word, until they personally attack, not so much me but if you judge someone you don't even know and try to say "Well this is this and you have to believe it" i am NOT having it, i will let my views known.

You people make me sick, i have had enough of you and no more will i let you force your views on other people!!!!


I would like to make it crystal clear, i like opinionated people, it makes for interesting conversation, but its the people i have outlined above that i do not care for.

Raindbow Six Vegas 2

I HATE it.
Not the gameplay but the game.
I had to go fetch it for Adam today, which imo was pointless as hes not going to play it anyway, as he still has to pack and he's not even staying this evening so for a few hours in which he will be working here, was pointless.
I did it anyway.

Because of this i was juggling with that fucking game, my keys, phone and wallet. I ended up dropping my sunglasses on the floor and breaking them. They snapped.

They cost me €25 in Orio in Milan last year and i can't afford to pay that much on glasses again. I have no money going away this year as work fucked up my wages so i have a whole of €30.

So i'm not in a happy mood at all today.

What have i done to become karmas bitch?

Then again i suppose i over reacted, but i mean i love those glasses and i got blinded on my way home from the sun, eugh. This has been a bad bad day.
And Adam did not make it easier, he knows exactly what to say to piss me off, and no matter how much i ignore it, i can't get passed it. Things like bimbo and other such offensive derogatory words really really upset me and i can't stand it. I hate being called names, i think its a really shitty thing to do.


So anyway, i am going to calm down and scavenge cents under the couch and bed.

Our Electrician and Irish Time....

He's a bastard.

He is, it really pisses me off. This is the 6 or 7th day now that he has said "Yes i'll be there"
He's an unreliable asshole. This is where Irish people REALLY piss me off. Irish time is SHIT!
If you say you're going to be there, damn well be there. I have things to do, appointments etc, i cannot waste my time waiting for that bastard to come, so he can tell me i need such and such a part and he'll get it and come back next week.
It's stupid. The tiler and plumber are reliable, at least if they're going to be late, or not come, they will at least ring.
I wouldn't mind if he rang, i wouldn't be pissed off just a simple"Look, i'm running late, i'll be there in an hour or two"
Instead its nothing, he just won't turn up. It's awful. Anywhere else he'd be fired.

I am currently sat waiting for him to come so that i can go grocery shopping. What makes matters worse is, dad will not give me his number to call him, which i suppose is a good thing as i would more than likely start getting angry with him and ask him wtf is going on.

*Aghh*
I loath "Irish Time" with a passion. Does it make people superior to stand people up and be late? No it just makes you an asshole who thinks he's better than the rest of us.


Well that was an angry post....
i'm done for now

Cleanliness is key

I need to shower. I have to shower at least once a day or i feel disgusting. I love being clean, i keep an incredibly clean person, i cleanse my face about 7 times a day, brush my teeth at least 3 times a day, floss, etc.

The reason behind this is, no matter how much i clean, etc, i still break out with teenage skin. *Curses hormones*. At first i thought it was the amount of crap i was eating so i have cut all but a few things out of my diet. It's unavoidable. So i'm not going to worry anymore i think.

What is more annoying is, i want to go shower now before i go into town, we have 2 showers in our house, i can't use either because of the back to front bathroom and theres no lock on the other one and i don't fancy the plumber walking in on me... ¬_¬

Anyone feel like letting me borrow their shower?

P.S. My msn is a huge arse, i'm going to restart go get a few things done and see if it will work for me....
