Great....Just great......

I feel like absolute shit.
Yesterday when I woke up I was so tired and I was pale, had a migraine and my hair looked like shit. I went to school anyway and it was relatively quiet, alot of running through exam timings and what not.
I couldn't wait to get home, as I had Friday off of work as I'm working Saturday this week. I got home and I got to talk to Amy, and I waited for D to come online as I hadn't spoken to her all week >_<
Anyways long story short, I was waiting for D to get things done and dad decides to turn the modem off. Which is ridiculous, I mean if you want me to do something ASK! Don't just turn off the modem and expect me not to be pissed about it. I'm not a bloody mind reader. How am I supposed to know if you want something done? Apparently I'm meant to ask every 5minutes "Is there anything I can do to help?"
I'm sorry but I have to do that shit at work and I refuse to do that at home. I have exams next week a portfolio due and College Application forms to fill in. I sit at my desk and my computer happens to be on and there. It DOESN'T mean I sit on there for hours doing nothing. I have books on my lap or I'm doing Art. And I talk to a few people while doing so. I will help out, all you have to do is ask me to do something and I will gladly do it.

ANYWAYS... I'm mainly pissed off not about that, I can deal with the asking if you want anything done-_- For now. But I was in the middle of a conversation with Amy, and I really think I have upset her, and this whole modem thing DID NOT help. And I won't get to talk to D now either, which is shit, fucking exams, and Denise is REALLY busy too.
Aghhh I cannot wait until college >_<
I'm really really sorry D. I hope things get better for you, I really really do <3
And I'm sorry Amy if you're reading this.

Anyways, I need to get my plasters on my fingers as I sliced my four fingers on my left hand last night off this metal thing and it hurts like hell. I'm slightly worried actually it did bleed alot and I really don't think that that is good.

Edit:
Great, they're still bleeding, Eugh it gives me the creeps. This should be fun at work this evening. >_<

Should I be worried?

Update time.
This week has been an odd jumble of hours and days.
I have been having revision tests, insane amounts of homework and a whole host of new portfolio things to do.
I am so tired. I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
After the nose bleed on Monday it couldn't really get much worse to be completely honest. I have my Irish Aural on Monday. I'm not too worried really. Tapework I'm alright with, you just need to listen and answer. I'm good at that, the only thing thats different is that the person who is talking is talking at you, not to you. And in another language..... and on a tape. But other than that is the same principle.
I have my French Aural on Tuesday. Yeah proper fucked in that.

I amm completely drawing a blank right now. Ummm, oh yeah, Thursday I fell asleep in study then walked STRAIGHT into the door on my way out.
When I go home I decided to try to write some more on my story, which is turning out to be not that short. I kinda don't like where it's going atm so I might just delete everything that I wrote on thursday as I hate it. Denise is right about characters stealing the story.
The last line I wrote was "...And then it happened".
I don't know IT is!!!!!! >_<>_< ffs.
I had Friday off which was great. I stayed in bed until 11:30 and then I didn't do much. I read a bit and then had to go to work.
Today, I'm going to get some homework done, I have 3 English essays to write, Chemistry and Biology to learn and Art to do.
I need to shower and everything as I'm going out with James this evening, we're going to hang out and then go and see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I apparently owe him big. I dragged him with me to go and see Twilight, which he hated, and he said if this Underworld sucks then next time we're going to do something that I'll hate. Which is going to be impossible for him to find something that I hate because I like all the things he does. So I think he should take it as a challenge anyways. hehehe.
I'm looking forward to hanging out with James, we haven't in a while, and we have some of the oddest conversations. Also because I haven't seen him ages as he's been busy with school and work and his gf, and whenever either of us is free the other isn't. Oh well.
Ok I need to stop thinking of excuses not to do things and actually get shit done.

With every to there is a fro.....

I got my camera:)
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Its the Nikon D60 with the 18-55mm Lens :) Yum.





I am in love this this camera ^_____^
I got it on Saturday, after begging my dad for hours the night before and that morning he finally decided to let me go up and get it. I had to drive up to Craigaven which is about maybe an hour away. Got it and my portfolio case:) So thats good:) It cost me about €400 which is pretty good I think.
Then I had to work at 6, so I only got to play with it for about an hour.
Work was great fun though, it was really quiet and I was working with Claire. I love working with Claire, we always have the weirdest conversations, sometimes about art/college and things.
We're going to get a pet squirrel and call him Munchkin (I think) and a Penguin called Ted. And the squirrel will alert us to when the Fuzz is after us. :)
Yes, thats what we talk about normally.

Sunday I had to get up early and shower and whatever, I think I was up at around 8, but in a zombie form. I got my shit together and had to go into town for my life drawing class. I was REALLY nervous to say the least. I had never done drawn a model before, well I have, but not naked. It was REALLY nerve racking going up there. Jules and I were all "You go in first" "No you" and then she dared me... -_- So I had to go in first...
It was actually alright. It was a pretty good class all in all, I got a few good pieces and I definitely want to do it again. It was an amazing experience, there's nothing more natural to draw, if that makes sense? It was exhilarating. It gave me a new perspective on art and I'm REALLY glad I did it.

However, because of my mental weekend I got none of my homework done Eugh. I figured Fuck It, I'll wing it and go in and see what happens...yeah end of Biology I got a nosebleed and an awful migraine and passed out. It sucked. Fainting is shit. They sent me home, because I hit my head, I was paper white and they thought I was going to die or something hehehe. But yeah blacking out isn't nearly as much fun as it looks in the movies. I'm ok now though, might go lie down, I have a headache. So yeah.

And so it begins.....

"Today is the greatest day I've ever known......"

Ok so that is lies, but it was still pretty excellent.
Just like any other normal Friday cept I took in my Portfolio to show my Art Teacher. Basically he said I need to do ALOT of work, but I have time, so long as the work is constant. Which is pretty excellent, I mean if I get it done that is. I have 2 A2 sized pieces to do, a notebook of A3 >_< and my Storyboards.
Then I also have to fill my notebook and then take my storyboard and do this really cool thing with it. Which I won't discuss until I have it done. :)

On top of that, my camera decided yesterday to go ahead and crap out on me >.< Fucking thing. The shutter is shit and everytime I put batteries in it it flashes at me and tells me to change them, even when they are brand new. So I'm going to buy a new one.
Its a Nikon one, its the D60 with the 18-55 Lens. Its pretty expensive, but I talked to someone who is in art college and they said that its a pretty good camera and that means that I can then use it when I get to college, so it saves me buying another then, so thats good news :)
Which means I won't have a LOAD of things to buy come september.
Its costing me around £375 I think, which really is pretty good. But its still alot. But with extra hours and what not.
Hopefully I am allowed to get it tomorrow and then pay my parents back on Monday when I can ring the bank. But we'll see.
Mom said I can get it if I really want it, but if I break it/ loose it / damage it or anything that not only is it my own fault but she will kill me for doing so.
I think thats a fair deal.

Pre's are now fast approaching. I got my time table now too. Its gross. >_<

Yeah, some nasty days coming up :( *cries*
But I mean its alright overall, I just HATE Thursday the 12th, its just completely unfair, and both the English, thats a day of non stop writing....ew.

Oh and so this weekend I have the artclass on Sunday 11am until 5pm, Life Drawing, wooo.. well not really as I suck at it. But I mean at least I can get some practise in. The model is a woman apparently, and theres going to be all these eccentric crazy artists there who are going to be amazing and then Jules and I, and I am going to be crap. Oh well. get ready for naked cartoon characters yay.

Well, I'm going to go get some Portfolio work done, and by that I mean arrange my notebook into some sort of an order while I re-watch a few episodes of Boston Legal Season 1. I have been having the weirdest urges to watch it, James Spader cracks me up with his dry humour. ^_^

Oh and I desperately need to buy a portfolio case. As in diar need of one, I have entirely too much shit and notebooks to carry around now, and they're all angles and awkard >_< *TO ARGOS!* God I love that place it has everything. <3

anywho

"That portfolio won't draw itself you know...." -_- I wish it would

I am so tired.
True story. 6th year is bloody tiring, and all these tests both orally in class and written is shit. I'm so sick of it.
And on top of that I STILL haven't finished my portfolio. I need to move my ass. Seriously , because its just not funny anymore.

However, enough of the dull awful depressing stuff. Good news, D might be coming over in July if all goes according to plan, which is fantastic, to be honest, as Denise has wanted to come here for like 20 years or something. It means that I get to spend time with her AND she gets to see Ireland. Must look into that Steelers Bar. I'm seriously excited, I really can't wait :)

February will bring about my Pre's... arse to that >_< But the sooner I get them over with the better I think. Because as soon as they are over, it'll be midterm. We finish Pres on the 13th, I think I am working Valentines day, and then the Tuesday Amy comes over. I can't wait for that. It should be excellent, I'm dragging James to Dublin with me and then we'll probably come back and hang out as its been ages since James and I have hung out. I miss our random nights of watching bad tv and playing Guitar Hero.

My msn is being a humongous shithead and won't work properly as it keeps signing me in an out and won't deliever msgs..... Anyone else having that problem?
Its driving me crazy.

Its my brothers 23rd today. He's coming out in a bit. I made him a cheese cake.... I want to eat it.... mmmmmm

Ohhhhhhhhh and I got my hair cut today, a little shorter than I wanted but its all good, I got my fringe back in and its got alot of layers so its not as heavy as it was hurray :) Might post pictures later:)

Ummm thats about it. I'm too hungry to type a proper blog, so deal with this shit one :)

>_<

Today was of mixed feelings to be completely honest.
Good because I discovered my love of impressionism, I really do LOVE that period of Art History, its possibly my favourite so far.
Also Jules and I got invited to this Art class which is for Art Teachers and working artists, our Art Teacher thought it would be good for us to get some real life in our portfolios so he invited us to come and it should be fantastic :)
Both my phones died today. I think I am the only person who has 2 bloody phones and BOTH of them managed to die.
I REALLY am special.
After that I had work, turns out from now on it looks like I have alternating weeks, one week Friday one week Saturday, which tbh I don't mind. I mean It now means I can go home on a friday sometimes:) But I now have to work until 1:30am. Which is closing and I probably won't be home until 2am. So that sucks ass, but at least I get more money.

Pre's are quickly approaching, I feel like crying, no wait, crawling in a hole, burring myself and then crying.

Anyways, so my Dad, Adam, Shelly and Johnny are away at the Villa match and Sean is skiing, but he gets back this evening.
Yes I did fall asleep and forget to finish this blog.

When I got home last night mom and I watched some kids tv thing and the darts and had a meaningful discussion too^_^ I love nights like that.
Then Mom fell asleep on the floor and I watched darts and then Top Gun. ¬_¬ It also took me a while and had to look on imdb to figure out Val Kilmer was in it. Yes I was having a slow moment. >_< Gah. And he's my favorite Batman, I have no idea why my mind wasn't working.

I also think I upset someone last night so I sincerly apologise.
I also hope D is better, seriously D be careful, its January =0 <3

I have lost my trail of thought>_< Gah.
Oh yes, today while watching St.Elmos fire (Weird film btw, I might write about it later, we'll see.) I got really short of breath, and couldn't get air into my lungs properly. It was really strange, but its been like that now for the past few hours >_< All I can say is thank god for this inhaler. :) Mom says its probably a panic attack or something.

Currently watching Little Miss Sunshine right now with Mom. We have to go pick Séan up later and then maybe get food and watch a movie.

Anywho my mind has gone, so...

First post of 2009

Oh 2008 how you will be missed.
2009. Wow I need to get my head out of my arse and actually do some work. I have Art and alot of studying to do.

However when it comes to slacking I seem to be doing fantastically. Yep. I have dvds and books and iPod and thats pretty much what I've been getting up to.
I'll admit it. I'm a lazy git.

Anywho so as 2009 brings about so many opportunities I am going to try my hardest to get my hands on as many as possible. My resolutions this year you ask? Well you didn't but you're hearing about them anyways. They're more Goals persay.
  • Get my Portfolio finished
  • Study...ALOT
  • Get into Film Production in IADT
  • See Denise
  • Organize my move to Dublin
  • SAVE MY MONEY
I am pretty sure that's it for now. But I'm pretty sure 2009 will be good, after getting off to a pretty amazing start. :)
