2 for 1

For the sake of Brian Burkes sanity I am going to do TWO blogs today

yep thats right two!!!

You see him being my biggest fan( i find it hard to believe sometimes) he has demanded i keep blogging so he has somthing to read in order to avoid his 3rd year course work.

Well here you go brian, I am offically distracting you from gettin a degree..................

dont blame me if you fail. YOU ASKED FOR IT!

so back to life and stuff.

Recently things in the life of UCD have been unusally quiet, thats down to the fact that the summer exams are coming up and everyone is screwed!!!

It really has not helped that the last 3 days have been nothing but pure blissful sunny happiness which has put everyone in the mood for lazyness,sunbathing,drinking,undressing and skipping lectures all day.

We are so dedicated.

Its weird to think that this time last year,it couldnt have been more different. I remember last year I was stuck inside trying to pound as much german and irish into my head as possible on top of preping for art and music practicals. I was a mess this time last year :/

Things have changed a lot since then thank god. Im a lot more relaxed and dont get as bothered about things as I would usually do. I think we all turned into anxiety-ridden teens last year.

Now we're all chilling out on the green,taking trips to the park,eating tubs of ice cream and taking advantage of the copious amount of male bodies on show in the last while :) i robbed a few pics off Fiona( thanks bub!)

So after spending the day sunning ourselves on the pitch in ucd,we had the bright idea of going to the student bar( eh come on! 3euro drinks?? HELLO!!) So after sending a few texts around we managed to get a good group of us down there,I dont know if the plan was to get drunk but for the likes of some people who had half a bottle of wine beforehand it was! (not naming names!)
To put the rest of the night into perspective(which it isnt)........
I discovered snakebits(the drink)
The girls made friend with our drinking neighbours
Leo is notorious for spilling pints :/
Jacks cousin Mary is savage craic
Jack is 'okay' no matter how many times I ask him
Brian thinks the wingteam revolves around him ;)
Martini glasses are good wepons
Rory wont be kicking me anytime soon
John can fit himself into rebennifers hotpress amazingly well
Sessions need to end before the wee hours,stress.
needless to say the night was randomly entertaining.

Dont worry brian! another blog is on the way!

Blog my old friend.........

Time and time again I have sworn to my blog that I would stop leaving big gaps.

And I would never keep that promise.
until now
You see this???
this is probably one of my first blog entries that i havent left a MAJOR time gap in! Go me.

If anyone reading this is wondering why I sometimes write this blog,as If im talking to a person thats because that is how I write.
Anything I have ever writtern no matter how rushed or last minute it has been, has always been thoughtfully and carefully considered by yours truly.
I like to treat the written word as if you were talking to a friend. Wether its in a serious way or a casual way,thats just how I do it.
Of course, there will always be people out there who think my method is, bluntly put, stupid.
Maybe childish could be thrown in aswell.

To those people I say, sorry.
Im sorry you dont feel comfortable enough within yourself and others to openly express yourself, and not be fearful of being judged.

So its a Tuesday night and im propped up in bed blogging away,drinking a cup of Hot Chocolate,coughing my lungs up(sorry for that detail!) in between watching (ironically enough) Sex and the City.
*Note to all * Carrie Bradshaw is not my hero/icon and did not inspire me to ever write down my thoughts. I have been writing too much from my big mouth since i was four and will continue to do so!Anyone who would like evidence of such should refer to a Mrs.Sharon Stratford!

I was planning on getting a good nights sleep but thats gone out the window. Tommorow, for the first time, I will be taking a trip to Trinity to visit karen. Yes i know its March!! but do you have any idea how long it takes to get to town from UCD?
yes?
okay yeah so im a little bit lazy, can u blame me?
Still quite excited to actually get out of UCD for the day again,honestly I do love it here,but sometimes it can be suffocating,like your stuck in another small town or something.
I moved here to get away from the small town cheers!

very anxious to escape actually :)

Men+Money+Fame = Sex and Power Ode to Cheryl Cole

First off

Congrats to Cheryl (soon to be again Tweedy) for finally kicking that asswhole to the curb.
I have a theory on people like Ashley
Once a cheater.ALWAYS a cheater.

To be morally correct, in my own opinion, she should have divorced the pathetic coward the first time he was unfaithful.Cheating on your girlfriend is one thing,but cheating on your WIFE is just unforgivablly shameful. Same goes for women who cheat on their Husbands.
I hope she'll be happy again soon with him out of her life.

Now to the topic on the table today,

In recent events in the public eye, it seems that a lot of men,especially men within the sporting profession,are found to be cheating bastards.
Tiger woods,Ashley and Terry are just a few of the boys who are in MAJOR trouble with their Mrs. recently. But it has come to my attention that the balence with fame and money have led these sporting ''heros'' to become power-hungry sex-starved idiots.

Now before I rage on, I would just like to state that I do NOT hate all men and think they are scum.In fact I do Love guys sometimes,they can be so chilled out and funny,its quite comforting.There are Guys in my life, for example, who are the must trustworthy and careing people Ive ever had the pleasure to be-friend. And dare I say it, sometimes I can trust them better than females.
So yes I do have faith in the male race, But these egotistical,selfish assholes really make me squirm!

Lets call Him Guy 'X'

At what point does this guy actually think that becuase he is ''famous'' and he's loaded with overflowing buckets of cash,that he is INVINCIBLE! That whatever he does, does not have consequences and that the world is his for the taking.That cheating on his girlfriend/wife is okay as long as she doesnt find out. Why do they think they can get away with every little sordid secret? Simple answer.
This guy loves the power.
And who wouldnt?
But when do you allow yourself to throw your morals, and the princepals you were raised to believe in, out the door? Where does conscience get knocked out and temptation takes centre stage?
Seriouisly, where is this guys mother???

These are the men guys should not look up to.
These are the men whom, at the end of the day, will have all the money in the world, but who are not respected whitin society and are starved of the two most important things in life, Family and Love.

Its guys like this that make me doubt the male race. But its the men currently in my life who overshadow the negativity. My dad is awesome, in fairness everyones dad is awesome.And my grandads are very caring people. I was born into a house growing up around four uncles,who have inevitably affected my taste in music and star wars! This would explain why im quite comfortable around guys. And the guys who are around in my life at the moment are pretty damm good friends it has to be said.

Abandoned

Okay so once again i abandoned my blog for about the sixth time!

Its becoming a pattern and im not liking it.So utting the fact I passed all my exams out of the way,the new semester has brought new ideas and talk of the summer that lies ahead.

Everyone is buzing about the J1 and going abroad etc etc, ive taken the decision to stay at home this summer to work( IF i get a job)

So its either Dublin or roscommon,Id much rather refer Dublin to be quite honest.

I am not going to jump on the band wagon and go abroad like most because I dont think it would be a good idea right now. If you think Ireland is tough to try and get a job, how about America?

Useful sources have told me it is POINTLESS!!! Jobs in america are as scarse as Free medical care!

So rather then goin away and still owing money when I come back Id rather stay here.Maybe summer 2011 will be different ;)

There is two things i really really really REALLY want to do this summer though,If i save enough moola that is,

This place. If you dont knwo what or where this is,SHAME ON YOU! just jokeing!

Thats is the infamous Hall of mirrors in the Palace of Versailles,France. Yes im taking my obsession with Marie Antoinette a little bit further! I am dieing to go visit it, Ive been in Paris twice and still havent made the trip to versailles! It looks like an amazing building and has so much history on my favorite Royal ,Madame la Dauphine ( aka Marie antoinette)

So if Things go they way I would like them to, I'll be visiting Versailles this summer(fingers crossed!)

The second thing i really wanna do im going to keep under wraps for a little while, because I have a lot of planning to do and I dont want to jump the gun just yet!

But yeah anyone up for going to Versailles,bring it!!!

In other news I have been apartment bound since Black Monday and its KILLING ME!!! This has to do with the fact I was ridiculously ill for two weeks,and at one point could not get out of bed. Whats even more frustrating is stupid doctors who cannot give you a straight answer and ALWAYS semm to need to get a second opinion. Indecisive or what??!!

So basically pineing for a good night out, BADLY!

xoxoxox

This Semester things will be different ........

Those are the words on the lips of every college student who has just returned from the winter hols.

Of course unless you actually mean it,it aint guna happen sweetheart ;)

Got my exam results to day,

Passed all 8 modules,

Im awesome

Had to be said.

Was supposed to go out tonight and dance the night away to the best of the noughties in tripod, but am feeling sick and not in best shape at the mo :(

Havent really got any stories from the last while,cept

We had a fantasically eventfull time on Black Monday,which kicked off the semester in great style. Roscommon girls are legends!

Am Back in Good old Roebuck with the roomies and we now have a TELLY!!! even though we're not rich enough to afford Sky,we're still happy with our 5 channels of brainwashing trivial nonsense.

Today for example myself,katie and niamh sat for hours straight watching, Oprah,Ellen,Animal A+E,Glee,Documentary on Obama,Legally Blonde and the news. I love being a student.

Spent the day being ecstatic over my exam results and being lazy and in pain,although John did get me to walk to Centra and then back to Roebuck so he could visit me.

So far he is the ONLY person who can get me 2 meet him halfway(but im always late haha)

Then took a trip down to el doctor cos i aint feelin well (THANK YOU KEVIN O MALLEY!!!)

and now trying to get sleepy before 3am to get my body clock back in working order

Thats not gonna happen either!!!!

:(

Im now gonna switch off this godforsaken thing and do somthing more productive like finishing off my Marie antoinette Biography by Antonia Fraiser,

Which is AMAZING!!!

Yes im a bit weird for being so obsessed with Marie Antoinette, but she was a very interesting and misunderstood woman who suffered at the hands of public perception,reputation,scandal and media backlash.

Meh, its my thing.

Good bye 09

So, another end to an important year.


Looking back on 2009,its kinda hard to believe that its was the end of a decade. I mean come on, the noughties may not have been the most original generation we've had, but it sure as hell was a lot of fun. My teen years began and are about to end in this decade(well almost)

it was the decade you could be famous for absolutly anything!
for being watched 24/7 on a lil sumthing we call Big Brother
For being myspace famous because u were so scene
For having a Sex tape/ n00dz 4 the world to see
For being a mediocre singer and winning a record deal
You could win millions,make marrying a footballer a career,make ur own music and stick two fingers up at the record company by posting it online and achieving instant stardom.
It was the decade everyone wanted to be ''indie'',everyone wanted to be americas next top model and everyone was making surgery acceptable.
Jordan became an icon mum,and the most hated person in britian.
Marc Jacobs ruled the runway
Kate moss spilled coke all over it.
America declared War on terrorisim, and america fucked it up........again
We saw massive devastation with 9/11, 7/11,Hurricane Katrina, Iran,Iraq,Tsunami and the wars in the holy land.
Global Warming became a national concern
Paris 'whore' hilton became a national icon
We got rid of Bush and Brought in Obama
We failed at eurovision too many times
We saw the celtic tiger claw his way through our countires economy and we became a nation of extreme excess.
This year we saw the tiger die.
The king of Pop died
Pop became a joke and indie and alternative defined our decades airwaves.
Our sex was on fire, we were chasing cars and we wanted to feed the world all over again.
Beckham left united for spanish soil,Keano divided a nation and Ireland did not win the world cup.no surprise.
We were wearing leggings again,sporting braces, polka dots came back(and left thank god) wearing denim hot pants in muddy music fields and sienna miller gave us Bo-ho chic.

oh and i managed to finish school and get into college :)

all in all it was eventful.

cya
