Everybody Lies

So yeah im back at college

woo 2nd Year. I should actually be panicing as Im suppsoed to be taking things a lot more seriously now,but recent events before i came back have changed my outlook on the year ahead. My status is, your only young once,make the mistakes now so you know how to make things better when your all grown up!

Last year I was waaaaaaay too cautious and always played the safe card. I dont think I really let myself go and just enjoyed it without worry or thought, and that only made me unhappy and frustrated with myself, so by the time summer rolled around i think I had lost my ehhhhh.......i duno i guess you could call it spark?. I think everyones has a spark about them,something that makes them who they are and confident about life and about themselves. Over summer i realised people and my own self-conscience/doubt had sucked that right outta me. I wasnt happy and I wasnt myself,but I have a feeling that 6th year kinda did that to me and i needed time to re-ajust to actually having a life that didnt revolve around an exam anymore.Unfortunetly my brain didnt get that message dureing 1st year, so things changed.So summer was very quiet and uneventfull on the entertainment front,accept for the working nights and Blink gig, but by the time id gotten my stuff together,got an apartment with Liane,and dealt with issues i was ready to get back in the game.

Have to say the last 2weeks of college have been great, a lot better than what the last 2weeks of college were like last semester! Im now majoring in Sociology and Minoring in Art History,which all sounds very lovely and a tad boreing but so far I like it, and i dont know why but for some bizzare fact I chose French as my elective, I came up with the mad idea that another language wouldnt kill me.......Ive a feeling I could be regreting this come halloween.

At least I didnt go ahead with Japanese.

So we partied, we went to lectures,we drank tea,ate crappy food,behaved badly,changed modules a millon times, had cocktails, and we invested in our first ever pieces of furniture which I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT.....scares me i now find furniture exciteing. So myself and liane are all happy and cosy in our little apartment in Clonskeagh,watching endless 'House' and making dinner for 2 every day.

I dont want that bubble burst thanks.

And we have lots of neighbours whom we love, i.e Brian and John just down the road and Rebbennifer nd the lads just around the corner. We also discovered Phoebe lives nearby aswell,its cool how lots of us from last year are near each other.

anyway its like 3am,and im gonna bounce off this, my heads recked from last night still (Arthurs day,i'll save that for next time)

xoxoxo

Blink 182..........you spoil us really

So, here was me thinking Karma was in actual fact a bitch and that it would not deal me the slightest bit of good luck. I had come to the conclusion that my summer'10 was a major dissapointment involving me going home early,not going out, being dirt poor, working, and not living up my last summer as a teenager.

Well all that changed last night.

God repayed me for my good behavior

And i got to see the punk/rock gods that are Blink 182.

Now some of you may find this tre cliche'd and just a bit lame as youve 'outgrown' that type of music. But seriously I had never been so excited to see a band in my life.

We qued for the best part of 7HOURS and painstakingly listened to 15year old emo-posers who were too busy taking photos of themselves to try and make the atmopshere a bit more lively. The average age kind of annoyed me, 14-17 id say,'when do you get your Junior Cert results?? I turn 17 next week!'' i mean these kids were probably in nappies when our age were rocking out to Blink back 6years ago. Yet their they were skulling back naggins of vodka like they were hArdCXre. *sigh* all fair in love and music i guess?!

I really did feel old in that que though :/

I duno maybe it was my fault my pre-concieved notion that a lot of people our age would be there??!

After all the waiting and being suffocated in the que we finally made it to the door and raced to the stage like kids at christmas dashing for presents. We let out screams of achievement when we hit the railings at the FRONT of the stage leaving all the teenie boppers flailing behind us in rage,hehehe. Myself karen liane and brian made it first,while we tried to spot the others which

led to me screaming at John and grabbing him quickly to make sure we all ended up at the front. The feeling of achievement between all of us was electric :)

The support act was Twin atlantic and they were quite good I have to say, and got the crowd started up into a sweaty mess.Note* Blink was also the sweatiest gig ive ever been to!*

after the support act there was a quick change of setting on the stage with a massive black curtain covering the front of the stage.

The house lights went down,and the crowd started to explode once again. The build-up was unbearable and fianlly the chords stuck for the first song 'Dumpweed' and the black curtain was dropped to reveal Mark,Tom and Travis who seemed more hyped up than us.

The show altoghether was sooo worth all that queing and suffocation and the 6years wait. They may be older now,but Blink still have that teenage-immaturity about them that makes them one of the most entertaining and fun bands to watch. Dirty Jokes everywhere,slagging the british, chants about toms mom,they definetely havent lost their touch.

We were a bit worse for wear after the gig. Dripping in sweat would be a good way to put it really! But it had been a brilliant night full of fun,laughs and kick-ass music.

xoxoxo

I just found me a brand new box of matches,and what he knows you aint had time to learn...

Okay so blog failure once again for the last 2weeks+

This is to do with the fact that ive been swamped with looking for somewhere to live and working etc etc blah blah blah. Thats all boreing stuff,and driving me insane at the minute.

I felt the need to blog today,as it seems like its been a while since I had a bit if a rant! The idea for this came from a young fellow blogger and youtuber Leeane Woodfull. She's a pretty kick-ass girl and seems to have her head screwed on much more than the majority of the population of 17year-old celtic cub brats out there. anyway she posted a video on her Youtube entitled I HATE, which gave me the idea for this blog. If you wanna check her out do so on http://www.youtube.com/user/leannewoodfull and Thunderandthreads.blogspot.com

What i liked about Leeanes video as that she wasnt afraid to tell it like it is and give her honest opinion.Fair play!

So here we go.....

I HATE:

People who feel the need brag about hoe incredibly hammered they were every weekend you go out, Seriously I work in a pub if you start braggin to me about how drunk you were im not gonna say 'ah here good on ya your something else :)'' i'll actually be more like, 'you eejit,did you not watch how much you were drinking?' Im not a massive drinker,and too most irish my age that seems weird or dry,SO WHAT!? I know im not good with alcohol and cant handle a lot,i tend to say incredibly stupid things when im drunk so I try to avoid getting legless to the point of stupidity. I dont have a problem with people getting drunk, I have a problem with the retards out their who think its cool to brag about how drunk they were as if it was an achievement or that they are way more hardcore than you. What did you achieve? Lost your memory,your dignity,probably pissed off a few people along the way and are about the odd 40-50euro outta pocket.

Yeah,go you. Your such a winner.

And dont use the excuse that you had an 'epic' night,how would you know it was soooo epic if you cant remember it??

Lappers who beep there carhorn at you or at a group of girls,

You do this because you are horse face ugly and you havent got a chance with any of the girls you beep at. It doesnt impress anyone,you just look like a pervy dumbass whos life is his car.

Girls you dont know who throw you filthies in the bathroom of nightclubs,

Ehh sorry love im just here trying to fix my make-up! like the amount of times ive seen girls giving each other the once over with the added 'you aint got shit on me bitch' look is unreal. Im telling you, if you were caught short and needed a 'girly favour' it just wouldnt happen these days, and girls know how much it can suck when your on a night out and you really really really need something that wont stop short your night out. But everyones just to busy throwing each other the filthies to actually give a shit. Fair enough ive had the odd occasion where i'll get chatting to a nice girl who'd ask where i got my shoes whilst at the sink,or someone asking to borrow some lipgloss,but so far its all 99% bitch central in the girls jacks! THATS WHY WE GO IN GROUPS GUYS!!!! so we dont get slaughtered

Foxhunting,

Not gonna start a major debate on that one.I just think its wrong,if your not killing it for food then why the fuck would you hunt it for sport. I dont see sense in it and i dont believe 'years of tradition' is fair grounds for killing an animal for 'sport'. thats all im saying.

People who complain when its sunny in Ireland, and then complain when its rainy,

Just feck off to another country then if you hate the weather here so much! We are so lucky to get sunshine when we do get the chance,and we try to enjoy it so stop putting a downer on everyone by saying 'uggghh i wish it wasnt so sunny' etc etc

Hairdressers who dont listen to you,

Ive been through a lot of them and so far theres only 2 I would trust to cut my hair. Like im paying you to cut my hair the way i ASKED for it,not the way you visual my hair being.Im the customer,im not paying for you to chop off all my lovely hair that ive spent agggggges trying to grow or to give me what you think is a 'fringe'.

People who post status's on facebook when they are drunk/drinking.You'll regret it in the morning,just dont do it!!

People who use sarcasim at the most inappropriate time. Learn how to use it properly before you go making an idiot of yourself and possibly upsetting people.

Girls who are taller than me and therefore think its okay to patronize me in public by going 'awwwww your so cute and tiny!!'',

BACK THE HELL OFF BEFORE I PUNCH YOU GIANT-ASS!

I can handle guys doing this to me,but girls? Nah, i dont see how this makes them feel better about themselves,and whats worse is when they try to hug me when saying this just to emphasise to EVERYONE how small I am. I know im short honey, but im not 5, im 19 and im pretty sure I could still kick your ass no matter how short I am. So do me a favour, if you ever around me and you introduce me to some girl and shes about to make a comment about my height, save her before she gets my instant hate for life.cheers

People who talk about Twilight,eclispe or anything to do with ROB PATTINSON as if its there life. I never got into it,I watched eclipse,but im not obsessed with it. I'll talk about it for a second,but im not going to harp on about it all day.

People who give out shit to you if you claim to be a fan of a band and you dont know every single word to every single one of there songs.

We're all allowed to like a band even if we dont know all there music, im allowed to go to the gigs even if i dont know all the words, i dont have to be a true die-hard 'omg ive liked them since before they were famous' obsessed super fan to say i like them. I really hate people like that,who think that just because they've followed the band since, like, before the band was even created,that they get to decide if your a 'true' fan or not,Who the hell are you to even judge??

Get a life, some of us dont have the money to be spending on every single album or EP that a band ever recorded,some of us have more essential things to pay for in life.

Oh ya and rude ignorant pricks at gigs who have no manners and no respect for safety. They reallly make me mad :/

Lads who are blatent whores but no one bats an eyelid, yet when a girl does it everyone labels her as a big massive slut.

Why do we have the shit end of the deal?? Its just not fair because in reality guys do get away with murder sometimes. Im not saying all girls are innocent all the time, but why do the guys get away with so much playing around and no one cares,but if a girl does it, shes instantly labeled as being easy.Why is it not the same for guys??

People who dont understand my hate of Bread crust,cold leftover food and spiders. We all have pet hates/fears, dont judge mine thanks!

Americans who talk REALLY LOUDLY on the top deck of the bus,knowing everyone can hear them. I wrote a blog about this before,

We dont care about your new trainers,or if the colts lost last week or if your flying home to D.C for christmas. Just shut-up.

When people point out I have gap-teeth. Im not blind,your a retard.

People who wear head to toe abercrombie or Hollister, EVERYDAY. GET SOME ORIGINALITY.

I really dont mind people who wear abercrombie or hollister, I mean I own abercrombie clothes,but please,wearing it everyday, head to toe, is just boreing, you look like everyone else by doing this and your not really making an effort are you? Its grand if you want a lazy day and you cant be bothered and you just shove on a hollister hoodie or sumthing,but everyday?

Also theres something really unnattractive about a guy who wears sweatpants all the time but doesnt play a sport. Lazzzzzyyy.

Guys and girls who act like a married couple when their like 14,its kinda gross and kinda disturbing. Your not in love, your over-hormoneal teenies.

And last but not least,

Grafton street 'models' I.e the likes of Rosanna Davidson, Glenda Gilson etc. They are NOT models, they are page 3 models without the nudity who dont even model clothes but just appear in VIP and the pull out supplement of the sunday indo every week ina bikini in St.Stephans green park holding a promo card for some company like hunky dorys. Ye are not celebs girls, your just a pretty face,with an alright body and that doesnt last forever ;)

and thats all i got for now,it may all sound bitter/bitchy/unfair/ironic, but i dont really care, Its what I hate. End of.

xoxoxoxo

Why am I such a sucker for clothes and nice things?? :(

All Topshop,tried on the middle ring on Friday and I freaked cos I had that Awkward moment where it wouldnt come off! FYI,it was a Small, My fingers are TINY so I dont know why Topshop always do stupid sizes in EVERYTHING THEY SELL?

How is the weather right now?

Back with Tales of adventures!

Okay after a very long absence from the blogging scene im back after getting my act together and actually doing things that dont involve stress! YAY!

So im currently on the house-hunt to find myself and Kate to live. We've been looking for quite a while now and there just doesnt seem to be anywhere cheap and cosy and kinda inbetween UCD and trinity. BUT WE WILL FIND SOMEWHERE!!! I am absolutly determined,as ive turned into quite the real estate monster in the last month or so. I dont see myself having a future career in property,put it that way!!

To get away from the Drama that is my house and the bore-town that is Ros, I escaped to dublin for a few days this week to see the lovely Ally :) So nice of her to take me in so soon seeing as her parents were re-decorating the house which i hope wasnt a stresser! So myself the lovely Kayla and Corinne made home-made low-fat enchilladas( when i say that i mean Kayla and Ally did the cooking while me and corinne watched haha) they were so so so yummy and think i'll try making them myself soon. So we had chats and goss and a very good old fashioned girly banter,i love doing that with new people :) anyways we stayed up a bit late and corinne did my nails for me,she painted them in this cute neon pink leopard print which I am now obsessed with and will be doing from now on,thanks corinne!

Next day we headed into town to see if we could spot any bargains in topshop and the likes. I was kinda diaaspointed with Topshop btu i did find a really cute TeaAndCake top that I should have bought :( we hit Zara then where I bought this really cute Charcoal grey Tee that has a love letter written on it in a typewriter font, i fell in LOVE with it and had to have it, sure 9.99 where would ya be going wrong? then we hit temple bar for a wander around the american food hall where we Found lucky Charms cereal and willy wonka chocolate( Soo over priced though)

After,Corinne had to head back to clondalkin,so myself and Allyquindro headed to pennys for few bits and pieces.I got a gorgeous gold and pink ring embellished with a white butterfly and a nice little flower necklace. Ally found me some aqua nailpolosh for 50cent! so i can do the sexay leopard print nails myself.I also saw a pair of heeled boots that i really really really wanted but figured Id wait till i get more wages to buy them,sob sob :( there was also a cute littlw cream biker jacket and purple crop top I wanted to get in the Sale in Miss Selfridge,but again I couldnt go spending my monies,not when im supposed to be putting a deposit down for an apartment!

So we headed back to Quinnsters,had dinner then headed to Kaylas to chill and watch Big Brother and Bill bailey( 'hey asda! I aint gunna be your Bitch!!') Kaylas Doggie Prince is so so cute,hes a little old fatty and he kept trying to go up the stairs to see if Kaylas Dad was up therer(their best buds) but she had to carry him upstairs to show him that her Dad was gone,Princey looked so sad after realising this! awwwwwww :D

stayed up late on facebook and watching southpark while Ally fell asleep.Came back home Saturday and went straight to work in the pub after, as soon as that was over I hit rockies and found everyone I hadnt seen in like a DECADE!

The lads kept me quite entertained,rockies on the sobe can be a pain but with james,niall, fiachra and john busting a few moves it can be hilarious.Seriously those lads gave it LOADS. Fair play.

I left as soon as the music stopped, I was just too tired to hang around and try hit jacks for more dancing. I just wanted to get to my lovely bed and sleeeeeep.Which I did and it was bliss :)

In other news I know as some of you know ive been Camera-less for the best part of this year( believe me I have suffered so so much :( but hopefully that will change as I am in the process of acquiring a sexay new camera so I can start snapping again and upload pics. My goal by the end of this month is 1.Get a house/apartment for me and Kate, 2. Get those kick-ass boots in Pennys, and that skin-tight black mini dress in Zara that looks like ti could give me a clevage!, 3.GET A CAMERA!!! 4.Have done something to my hair before i go back to college.

I have all this to do and sort out my modules for 2nd year, do more more driving with marcus(yes ive started driving!) overhaul this blog with a delish new skin and font and try and figure out how im gunna do a J1-er next summer. This summer has been a waste and dont intend to let this happen again!
