I'm still here!

No, I havn't died. I just decided to give the bolg a rest for a while.

Since I last blogged things have changed. Alicia and me are now "offical", though I think it was pretty much heading that way for a while. College is now over for the first year. It's a bit sad that it passed by so quickly.

Up to the end of May, we had exams and study, just like we had in January. The only difference was that in January the weather was typically miserable and so the appeal of going outside was non-existant. Fast forward to May and the weather is scorching, making it harder to concentrate on studying. We would often find ourselves finishing up early and straight outside streched on the grass soaking up the rays. To be honest, I don't like the sun or the heat a lot. I burn easily and I find it difficult to wear sunglasses as I'm blind as a bat without my normal pair.

Well the exams went okay, just waiting for the results next week. In the final week we only had one exam (a language), so I used this as an excuse to spend the weekend with Alicia, as I knew with the summer coming up we wouldn't see as much of each other.

We had a really nice final few days. I was actually sad on the Sunday night. I hadn't felt like that since I'd left Sweden last year. But anyway the story is now that I am on the summer holidays and I'm pretty miserable. There was hope of a group of us getting work together for the summer. The location was ideal and the wages seemed amazing. Although the odds of us getting the jobs were good, it seems they have now fallen by the wayside.
I can only hope that come this Saturday, there will be good news from MLI as regards to the job.

Anyway it's getting a bit late. Cheerio! xxx

A year on Vox

It's just by chance that I decided to make a few tweaks to my account today. I found that I'm exactly a year registered with vox.com. It's been good to be able to express myself over the past 12 months. Needless to say it's been a hell of a rollercoaster.

I'll say no more. I'll just finish with this...

A few of my favourite songs...

Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

 

 

 

 

Garth Brooks- The Dance

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

 

 

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

 

 

Phil Collins - True Colors

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small

 

I just thought it would be different to post something like this for once. Enjoy them. :)

A small dilemma.....

Well, at least I hope not. The problem is my accomodation for next September. Over the past few weeks I've been saying that wanted to move out because the landlady has been doing my head in with these mood swings.

 

But, mood swings apart, the accomodation has been pretty much perfect for this year. If I move out I could end up in a place that's either twice as shabby or twice as expensive (or both).

 

Elsewhere, I got my maths results back today. I failed by 1% which was a bit cruel.

(

 

 

But I know that lately (since December) I've been getting distracted by certain things (the internet mainly). I have one month to go, and if i keep my focus I can pass the year easily.

:]

 

Feelin' Just About Right...

Yeah things are going okay right now. I've been off college for a while now (easter break) and I've been relaxing. I'm bracing myself for the next month and a bit, I assume the exams will be upon us like a shot, but we've got no confirmation of them as of yet.

One of our new flock

Apart from the usual, most of my time is occupied with these little creatures! ^ ^
Yes it's well into the lambing season at this stage and despite the weather being choppy, it's good to be out and about looking after them.
Elsewhere, we've had a new shed constructed on our farm. It's going to be really handy this time next year, when its completed. (The purpose of the shed is to house sheep during lambing season).

It's a shed...kinda

Finally, I've started using Vox with IE instead of Opera. It's much easier to use now! (But I still think IE sucks!)

Just a big pile of meh.....

So it's a Saturday, the weather is brutal and has been for weeks, rain, wind, cold. Depressing.

 

Let me bring you up to date with college. Basically I have two weeks off now for easter, but when we go back we have just one month and then we have exams to round off the year. We had a maths assessment this week (assessments take the pressure off final exams, providing you do well), and I'm not sure how I did. It was 50/50, and if i scrape a pass I'll be happy.

Mum has been pestering me lately about summer work. I have my C.V. done pretty well, I just need to sort out my referees. I feel if I get those included it would add an extra bit of momentum to my job hunt.

Elsewhere, it's lambing season, the weather isn't helping, mum is sick and I think I'm coming down with something too. Oh joy.....

Think of me...

Granny

During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

Irlande Douze Points!!

I was reading the paper today and i came across a page about the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in May! It showed the top six contestants who could go forward and represent Ireland this year

 

1 Donal Skehan................Double Cross my Heart
2 Dustin the Turkey................ Irlande Douze Points
3 Maya................ Time to Rise
4 Leona Daly................ Not Crazy After All
5 Liam Geddes................ Sometimes
6 Marc Roberts................ Chances

 

Out of these 6, only two i know of. Marc Roberts represented Ireland in 1997 and was the last person to give us a top 6 finish.

 

Also, and this is the best one, Dustin the Turkey, could be about to represent us this year! If he does go through it'll be so cool. Everyone in Ireland has grown up with Dustin, ever since he was an egg. He's an Irish icon!

 

His song, Irlande Douze Points, can be found here!

 

We won't know the result until the 23rd of February. Cant wait!!

 

 

Exploits in Space

I wonder what Neil Armstrong was thinking when he was coming down the steps as he approached the moon?
I mean the line "small step for man, giant leap for mankind" sounds like it was given to him rather than something he made up himself.
I can just imagine him coming down the steps going "Ok it's small step for man, giant leap for mankind.......small step for man, giant leap for mankind" and
then landing on the surface "Ok Neil remember the line...don't fuck it up..."

"I'm a small man with a giant......sh*t thetas not it......erm..one man small giant......"

I mean you have to say something! You can't land on the moon and say:

"Oh it's all sticky! It's covered in jam!"
or

*stretch*
"Fuckin hell I've been in that spacecraft.....right I need a piss!"

You know?

He also had a sense of humour so he should have used it! You know the lunar module that had a fixed camera staring back at the earth, and it couldn't pan left or right.
So what he should have done is say "Hi earth we're here on the moon. I can see mountains and The Sea of Tranquillity. There is the Earth, you're looking back up at yourselves there."

"And to my right I can see a FUCKIN' MONSTER THERES A MONSTER BEHIND ME OOOOH!"

By this stage you can't see him, but you can hear him scream "OHH NO! GET OFF MY LEG!" repeatedly running in back and forth in front of the camera.

"Houston! The monster has me! He wants cash! Send one...no two million dollars and leave it in a bag by The Sea of Tranquillity....................I dunno the north shore wtf?"

Oh it would have worked!

Just a collection of thoughts....

I'm sitting here on my bed, secretly dreading what’s around the corner. Module 2 is starting tomorrow (today) and I dunno if I'm ready for it.

I was devastated over the last week when I found that my MP3 player had gone missing. I bring it everywhere; I cannot live without it. Thankfully I managed to find it again before I left home. I am so glad because I can't imagine college without it.
Strangely, it seems when I have my music playing, everything else is drowned out, and it’s a form of security for me.

Elsewhere, my mind is drifting backwards tonight. I found myself browsing facebook (a site which I can never understand). I then came across a profile of Tilda.....I know I should not think about her, but I wish I knew how she was. In the photos she seems quite happy, but I dunno. I haven’t spoken to her for a long time. I can take it from that that she never wishes to speak to me again.
Women, a mystery as ever.....

Oh well, I should have been in bed ages ago but I'll not be able to sleep very well. I'll try again.

I'm scared about the future though...
