Say Anything

It was a great movie, Ione Skye's voice became irritating towards the end and John Cusack is probably the most flawless person ever in this movie. I didn't really like the way she did what ever her dad told her too like breaking up with him so so unnecessary and James Court was kinda annoying.
Best quote of the movie was:
Jim Court: You're not a permanent part of her life. You're a distraction.
Lloyd Dobler: I'm the distraction that's going with her to England, sir.
I was like, YES! It was so perfect because he was in love with Jims daughter and Jim was being such a dick to Lloyd and Lloyd was such a boss back!

Life of Pi, my review;

It starts so nicely and ends so weird. I was shocked and at times put off but I liked the book and would give it a 6/10 :)

D.T.L.O. Tommy, My 12/12/12.

How to even explain my day and a bit in Dublin which isn't even over yet...
Firstly I almost missed the bus to Dublin and made it with seconds to spare and then ended up not having to pay for my ticket. Handy. When I get to Dublin I had to wait an extra hour from when the buses where meant to start and they actually did! I then asked the bus driver to tell me when DCU was and kept asking how much longer then he 'forgets' to tell me and If I hadn't noticed he probably would have left me stranded in Ballymun! Because the fool of a driver forgot to drop me where I needed to be I had to walk to the Helix when I decided to take a short cut which ended up maybe saving me about 20 seconds if I went the normal way and while this was happening I was making constant phone calls to Alan who was still asleep as it was around 6 in the morning.
When I finally get to the house I sit up with Alan talking about nothing and everything and I called Claire, who also goes to DCU, to come to Alans house and hang out. She was too busy so we go and hang out in the Hub and end up seeing Claire coming and try to open the door which she did successfully until about 2/3s of the way which it jammed and me and Alan where in stitches laughing at her who had not seen us at this moment and when she did she was even more embarrassed. ha! Me and Alan ended up sitting in the Hub selling tickets to the Yule Ball (A dance held by the Harry Potter soc) the next day and Alan leaves me for 10 minutes to get his hair cut and just as he is coming back people are asking me questions. I do not go to DCU and I am unable to attend the Yule Ball and I know very little about it and just as he walks over to me a group of three lovely people ask us a question which I would not have known the answer!

After this I got Starbucks to waken me up and fill me up a bit. The man who served me gave me the wrong drink but I didn't complain but I know I said a different flavour he was foreign, tired and very busy so I just took my drink and tried to drink it which usually would take me about 10 minutes at most took me the best part of an hour and a half and I threw the last 1/4 away. I also got a couple of cupcakes and a mince pie from a booth next to the Yule Ball table that was raising money to build wells in Africa while playing Christmas songs which at one point got changed to Dizzee Rascal which was a bit of a change to say the least but was put back to Christmas songs within a minute of the Dizzee song. I also bought two books and got a free bun with my purchases which I gave to Claire. I will talk more about the books later.**
I also got to see Claires apartment. It was nice :)
I then went to Alans study group which was closes followed by getting ready for Florence and downing a can and a half of energy drink and getting changed and then we went back to meet Claire and get the bus into Dublin city centre. The walk out to the O2 from O'Connell street is a very long walk and it took us so long! When we got there there was barely anybody there which we found weird. We queued and then we went into the priority queue and thanks to the gracious guy in front of me who kept me warm. hahaha, that sounds really weird but all that happened is I leant against his back to stay that tiny bit warmer!
Inside the concert we where all together and there was a lot of lovely people around us and Haim started and I had never head of them and they where so good! The bassist really looked like one of my friends, Shannan, and they where the only warm up band and they did a really good job! Florence came on what seemed like hours after Haim finished though and she came out with an unreal costume of a clown and her band where all fantastic (like normal) but they where dressed really well too! The pianist and the guitarist where my favourite costumes. They had such a good set like always! I really really didn't expect them to play Kiss With A Fist but omg when they did the crowd went mental! Such an electric atmosphere and apart from one girl (who pretended her friend was sick and about to pass out to try and get past us) the crowd was awesome. Okay, the reason I know that she was just trying to get past us was that as soon as we did move she said "score, I got to the front" and then me and this random guy on the other side of me pushed her back and she stood behind me bitching about me and the guy on the side of me to one of my good friends, Andrew, who then told us what she was saying after. I mean, what a bitch!

At one point Florence and Isa start rough housing and started rugby tackling each other and then went and jumped into the crowd and crowd surfed! What a hero! Sadly me and my friends where too far away from her to actually touch them but the it was still so awesome to see her doing it. She looked like she was going to cry so many times. It must be so emotional for her with it being the last Ceremonials gig ever and when she was saying goodbye and good night to us she was joined on stage by Haim and loads of people from back stage, like her team, all dressed in costume.
After the concert we went into Dublin City centre and went to Temple bar to a place called Madonnas. It was good for drinks and it was pretty good for music, better than many places actually but the place was tiny, packed to the brim with people, and was laid out weirdly like the toilets where right next to the DJ booth and the main entrance led straight to the dance floor and it was also the right between the two bars so it was people coming in, dancing and walking to the bar all in such a small, tight, cramped space. We left early as nobody was drinking any more and then we went to McDonald's and got a taxi home and nothing really happened after that. Ha. I hope you enjoyed reading this, like always leave me some feed back if you enjoyed it :)

** The books I bought were Terry Pratchett's Hogfather and The Man In The High castle by Philip K. Dick
and when I have read them I shall review them :)

Unprepared and scared

I am going to see Florence and the machine next week which is fancy dress... Which i kinda left to last minute...
So Im now only a couple of days away from it and Im really nervous that i will not have a costume that works with the theme. A friend of mine is planning on going as a queen and i am planning on going as a king. I hope to be updating you.guys in a couple of days with the news and scandal from Florence and if i ended up with a costume. :)

Craft Fair.

Today my mother and I went to an craft fair in a local theatre. An Grianan
I knew that the craft fair, like every other, would be aimed at the next major holiday or at women but I went anyway.
It was good, I bought a pair of earings for my mother and she bought a couple of pieces of pottery for christmas presents for

a few people. The stalls where all fantastic and we had a really nice time. I didn't think to get any photos of anything until after but thats life for you, Always bringing you smart ideas after it's too late to do anything about them. HA!
We also decided to go to the next one in a couple of days in Rathmullan House and see if they have anything new. We did enter

a competition to win these awesome teddy bears but we don't find out until the 20th or something which is cool.

A Catch Up Of Sorts.

So I have not updated this in months and well I have had so much to actually tell you guys over the last couple of months but now half of them are unimportant now. Sucks, I like to try to keep an account of things but Its hard when you're Internet is as bad as mine and I'm sick so often right now because of how cold the apartment is.

Since I last updated I moved out of my house for the first time! I moved out on my house mates birthday October 5th and in the last two months we've been getting to know each other more. I've been told that I'm in a bad mood often and that I get clean too much! By this he means I leave the stuff for about a week then clean everything in one foul swoop and by the bad moods is usually he tries to make me do something I don't to do and I get annoyed because I hate it when people try to twist my arm into doing something.
I will not post the conversation but my house mate just kept picking at it and picking at it and I was just saying that I didn't want to go out and well he made me say what he wanted me to say which I know isn't true but I honestly think it's what he things I mean/ meant. "I just don't want to drink with you" and it's really annoying.

On a happier note I visited Galway to see two of my very good friends and catch up. It was fantastic, we ended up drinking a lot which isn't really my thing back when I was younger I would go hard for days on end but after a couple of months of it being the same story every night, same people and same hangover it really wasn't worth it. So I cut it down for now to save money (not that I ended up saving any since I was in Galway) and because it became boring. But Galway was so fantastic. Hopefully going back soon so then I can actually document it a bit better. ha!

Last weekend we went out for a good friend of mines 21st. It was so awesome. He has such awesome friends and I love them :D They said to hang out with them more so next I must. Wouldn't want to insult them. Before the party we where hanging out and Kevins old house with his old house mates and watched the Digimon movie and then Rent which was then followed by Mean Girls. Three really good movies. We then went to this dive of a night club but it wasn't open to the public so it was awesome! I got over charged which wasn't cool and then my drink got stolen which really isn't cool.

and the last thing I think is still important to inform you, my awesome readers is that I'm drinking a warm sugary tea and I have a hot water bottle. I am really living the high life right now. The only thing that could make it better is if I had a biscuit or cake right now.

Class

I got to hang out with two of my very good friends last night and we watched a classic 80s movie called Class.
It is so good. It took us so long to watch the movie because we had to pause it so much because we kept talking over it and missing crucial moments catching up since we have not really hung out in about 2 months.
But the movie was fantastic and made us think.
Is there anybody's parents that you would sleep with?
