Things I Find on the Internet

So a few weeks ago I set up a Stumble Upon account to pass time over the Christmas holidays, it now has taken over my life.
This particular Stumble almost made me cry, it's really cute and a lot of them are quite depressing.
I do enjoy more entertaining ones, such as this, it's a collection of photos by Irina Werning, copying pictures of people from the past, but years later. For example, theres a picture of a baby reading a playboy magazine, and the baby as an adult in the exact same pose. They're really brilliant photos.
It's also great for finding make up and hair tutorials, as well as recipes for amazing looking cakes and stuff. If you don't have an account already, you need one! It's free and only takes a second to set up.
Happy Stumbling.

Merry Christmas and all that.

It's Christmas! I'm thrilled with my presents, especially my new gold Claddagh ring and my copy of The Phantom  of the Opera live from the Royal Albert Hall, because there's no denying how good that is.
I got a few other bits, clothes, perfume, make up etc, so I'm very happy indeed. I'm excited for dinner tonight, wonder what I'll have?
We went to mass last night in Blackrock church, where my Daddy sings in the choir, it was quite nice indeed, except I had a mini panic attack from all the coughing and sneezing and shaking hands, needless to say I scrubbed my hands good and well when I got home!
Now I leave you with a picture of a cat, it's not my cat but he looks like him a bit I suppose, anyway he's festive and fierce so enjoy x

Haven't written in a while as I was sick (yes I know that's the ideal time to write but I was lazy), and I went to LANDAAAAAN for a couple of days with my dear ethnicnically fabulous friend, Aoife, her fur-wearing, sports car-driving and County Council-working mother, Geraldine, and Geraldine's sister, Bridy. It was Britastic to say the least, though it seems I can never get the hand of that silly stone age money, WHY MAKE A 2P SO LARGE? We did the usual touristy things, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben etc. I've fallen in love with two places in London, Liverpool Street/Brick Lane, gorgeous vintage shops and markets reside there that I couldn't get enough of! Also, I know I'm so alt and cool saying this but my oh my Camden is just one big dream!

I'm currently babysitting my cousins, in Bewleys Hotel, Leopardstown. Why is it that kids just WON'T SLEEP? What I'd give to have that much energy and not spend my spare time struggling to study Spanish vocab while writing this useless post and watching some show about Westlife's break up.. I hate to admit I'm tearing up a little bit.
The kids are playing with their Sugradh and Spraoi annuals, does anyone remember those? I miss Primary School so much, those annuals were the Christmas highlight!

Appetising.

So I was lying in bed last night after coming home from a friend's birthday party, and I was thinking about how hungry I was but it wasn't worth actually getting up to get food. While thinking about all that, I realised, we do the strangest things to food. Like really? We actually BATTER a Mars bar? Really?! It looks like a sausage roll, or a chicken nugget, but don't be fooled! It's a heart attack in a chipper.

F you entertainment.ie!

I's like to point out that the universe just hates me. How many competitions do I have to enter before I win? I must spend about 80% of my life trying to win so much random crap I don't need, so why can't I have it??

So I was forced to attend the Holy Child, Kiliney predebs two nights ago, by the school head girl, my good friend Anna. Needless to say it was a bit of a disaster of a night, but I suppose I had a bit of fun. I was refused entry so was stuck on my own in Bray, in the cold for about an hour, that was depressing to say the least.
And now I'm all sick and feeling sorry for myself, so I haven't gotten off the couch since I got home 7 hours ago, and have watched two movies: Like Crazy and Life as we Know it. Both were fantastic, and of course didn't help with the bad mood, but I loved them.
Over the past two weeks I've had Christmas tests in school, which really just aren't going well. I haven't failed anything yet so that's a plus! They're just really stressing me out and have me in a bad mood all the time because they're silly and annoying.
Also, where are all my TV shows gone? How dare they take a break for the "Holidays", it's rude, don't they know I'm at home bored with a laptop and ice cream?
I should really go study for some tests, but instead I'm gonna go bake cookies and then shower, good night.

10 Things I Hate About Life

1. Noisy Shoes - That noise that converse and vans make when you wear them for too long. WHY is this so? It's so loud, and unecessary!

2. Project Maths - This year, the Irish education system introduced a new maths course, called Project Maths. It's absolutely ridiculous, and this one question sums it up nicely:
"If John has 2 apples weighing 50g and 70g, and Mary gives him 4 apples of heights 10cm, 9cm, 6cm and 11cm, he eats two along with a bowl of pasta, weighing 1 kg, what colour is his jumper?"
It's not fair, I'm usually good at maths, and now I'm just awful.

3. Concert tickets selling out quickly - Tickets for big concerts always go on sale on a Friday morning at nine, at which point I am in school, in Art class. Why is it that Ticketmaster hate me, and refuse to let me buy a ticket, because by the time I'm home from school, they're all gone! There should be some sort of pre-order system I reckon.

4. When singers/bands play gigs in small theatres - Leading on from my last point, I mean, clearly if you've sold out 3 nights in a small theatre, in 20 seconds flat, you could really just move the shows to a bigger venue, or at least set another date!

5. Those inbetween days where there's no shirts or socks - Usually a Thursday or a Friday, where all the good shirts and socks haven't been washed from the beginning of the week yet, so you don't have any and you look EVERYWHERE for them, but there's just none so you have to wear the shirts that your friends have written rude things on the back of your collar, or socks with no elastic in them, so you spend the day pulling them up. My God it's the worst.

6. When the internet router shuts off - You're in the middle of loading a movie, downloading a song, doing homework, writing a blog post, listening to a podcast, and BAM "Netopia Router" says that the connection was lost. It's just the most annoying thing to happen.

7. The ends of a Diet Coke in a bottle - It's gotten flat, warm and just doesn't quench the thirst you need it to. It's sad because it can be up to about 100ml out of the bottle, which is 20% of the drink, and you don't even enjoy it! No matter how tight you close the cap, nothing can prevent it.

8. Bad Dinners - You come home after a long day, hungry and tired, sit down to the table and what's put in front of you? A stew (something that was just inevitably going to be gross, just say it.. STEW), or a lamb chop.. Something along those depressing lines, and it just makes the day even worse than it already was.

9. When my contact falls out - Just the one. Perfect vision from one eye, and a nice painful blur from the other, and I'm left with no choice but to take the other one out to even the sight, and just walk around blind for the rest of the day/night, squinting at my phone, which is touching my nose cause I need to hold it so close, trying to see what a text says, or who is calling me.

10. Rihanna - She's a hussy and we all know it.
