Too Jazzy

Well the bank holiday weekend was nothing to write home about. I was working thursday through to monday. I had no time to get any college work done whatsoever, it's getting worrying. The only night I went out was saturday. It was a night to forget. Some argument, which I still don't know the reason for, has since resulted in me having 1 less friend. I've been deleted by them on bebo AND facebook which is like the ultimate dismissal you can give a friend. Women are crazy.... So on a lighter note, X Factor was good again this week. Michael Buble was class. The result was very interesting. I wanted Rachel to be in the bottom 2 again, just for acting like a pleb after her song. I don't like Danyl so I was hoping he'd be gotten rid of with this opportunity. The twins were entertaining, but it's getting old. At first, they were funny coz they were trying but they were awful, now they're taking the piss on purpose. They better not win the thing. And the highlight of the weekend, Liverpool destroyed Man United on Sunday. They were better in every way. Justice! The only giant red object making someone look stupid was Alex Ferguson's nose. So ya, I'm hoping to just go to sleep and let all the stuff I have to do for college disappear. Lookin forward to Halloween. Might have some pics or maybe even a video for the next post

The Weather

I got another soaking today. I'm 3 for 3 this week. I've had to walk home in more than my fair share of torrential weather, it comes with having no one in my house who drives. It doesn't even bother me anymore at this stage. You could even say it's water off a duck's back. Ahahaha...haha....ha.... It's just this week, I was wearing new jeans at the time. Jeans and their dye. You'd think that in the world we live in, with our i-Phones and computers in the clouds, that someone would have come up with jeans that don't run. Monday night I'm gettin ready for bed and I notice that my "undergarments" have turned a lovely shade of blue. I had a little chuckle. Then I take a second look and realise that my legs have a lovely smurf-like complexion going on. Again I found this quite funny, up until the point it wasn't coming off in the shower. And due to my daily blue tan top-up, the upper half of my legs remain slightly darker than the lower half. I'm gonna go check the forecast

Look! A Badger!

Was up at Barry's house again last thursday. Just me, Dorgan and himself. Damien was being odd. What's so hard about coming up to a friend's house to do feck all? It was a very sociable night. At one stage we were all sitting in silence texting various other people. Ah no but it was nice to just chill out. Bar had rented Gran Torino and we had planned on watching it but the time just flew by once we went on youtube. I saw Gran Torino a few weeks ago anyway. Brilliant movie. I urge you to watch it. So ya, we watched youtube for like 2 hours on Barry's mac. It's one of those all in one things. Basically a flat screen tv with a mouse and keyboard. Very snazzy. Em let's see we watched stuff from failblog, prank calls, that video of someone from the Ray Darcy show cycling through Ballincollig with a christmas tree behind him and my personal favourite of the night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC5vmnnj8l4 . Saw that on the legendary Ray Foley's blog. Just looks like they had such a laugh making it. We decided to perform the routine at some stage when we're out.
So we were driving home about 1ish on the small dark country road. I was in the passenger seat and just happened to notice something poking its head out of the ditch. It was a badger. And before we knew it, he had decided to run out in front of the car. Nothing we could have done really. Honestly, he was so big he might only have been knocked out by it coz there wasn't a hair out of place on him as far as I could see. I found a chunk of plastic beside the car, but like when you're building furniture or something at home and there's pieces left over you assume they can't be very important, we took a quick look at the car and saw nothing missing so we left it there. On closer inspection outside my house, the piece was indeed from the front of the car. Not very noticeable though.

Time Travel

Just noticed that my last post is dated October 6th. Which is odd, since in the post I talked about what i did up until October 11th. Oooooooohhhoooohoooh (that's a spooky noise). So either I travelled back in time and wrote about what was going to happen in the future, which let's face it, is just plain cool, or else the date is messed up coz I continued a draft that I started on the 6th when I posted the thing sunday night. Feck it, I'm going with time travel.

Very Superstitious

Forgot to post this during the week so I'll give a quick sum up of the past week. Got attacked by a giant spider at work. Broke a mirror the same day. Well technically it only cracked along a line, does that still count as 7 years bad luck? Answers on a postcard please. Liverpool lost to Chelsea. My bad luck is the only explanation I can come up with. Went to Gorby's tuesday night. Turned out to be one of my favourite nights out of all time. Can't explain it. I was still buzzin the next mornin. Bouncin and dancin and singing all over my room. Just in great form really. I swear, someone should hide a camera in my room, it would provide some comedy gold.
Went out again thursday after a HR exam in the mornin which went okay i think, and then a day's shopping. I was carrying 4 bags while texting (yes I can multi-task) as I got on the bus home. Made a prat of myself coz I was hittin all the old people up the front in their faces with the bags. Where did I go that night you ask? Gorbys again of course. Vanessa loves the place more than me, I can't say no to her. It was jammers tho. Couldn't even move. Its been like that every thursday, it has to be sorted out. Left there about 1ish. After a quick visit to burger king I got a taxi home alone since Dorgan decided to cycle to town. Taxi driver was a lovely chap though. Had a good little chat.
Went up to Barry's house friday night since he's on his own for 3 weeks. Dorgan's parents drove us up. The house is on a steep hill in the middle of nowhere. It's pitch black with no street lights. The car stalled 3 times going up the hill and there was a car behind us. The clutch got destroyed. There was smoke coming out of the car. I was in stitches but I was tryin not to let his mom see me laugh. She was not amused. Ate a load of junk, so much for my new healthy living. Watched Knocked up on DVD. I fell asleep on the couch for a while during it. Damien smacked my head to wake me up, to which I replied with a backhand that bust open his lip. It was a complete accident. Funny though.
Went to my grandparents house saturday night for a joint birthday party for my nan and uncle. As the adults talked in the kitchen, the young people sat watching the Ireland game in the other room. I fell asleep on the couch. Notice a pattern? Why oh why could Ireland not just have stayed awake another 5 minutes and won the thing?
Sunday went by too quick for my liking. I appear to have done nothing. I watched both X Factor shows. Delighted that Olly, Joe and Stacey got through. Danyl and the twins annoy the hell out of me. Kandy Rain are no loss really.

So that's it. Toodles

A Washout

Thursday was a bit of a washout. I arrived at work at 5 and Adrian asked me to finish off a few boxes of the delivery since he was going on break. No problem at all. Along comes our fearless leader and demands to know what on earth I think I'm doing. Apparently helping to get work done is a big no no. I was sentenced to a night on the tills. I was informed that we had no tenners or twenties in the safe, only fives. It's a pity that everyone decided to pay for small items with €50 notes. So i spent the night counting out massive amounts of change in small bills. Speaking of giving change, I noticed a woman wasn't going away when I gave her her bag, she said I didn't give her any change. Now I distinctly remember taking it out of my till but I gave her the €6 anyway. (Low and behold, I checked the next day and my till was down €6. She must have been chancing her arm)

So from work I went to the Freshers Ball in Cubins. I'm not a fan of the place and they don't seem to like me either but amazingly I got in. We decided to have a look at the foam party. God only knows what they put in that foam. It must have been a combination of washing up liquid and toilet cleaner. Whatever it was, it made my nostrils burn. After an hour spent leaning against a wall, depressed at our surroundings, we went for one last bounce around on the dance floor. It was enjoyable until someone landed on my toe. I limped off to Hillbilly's (the quiet one).

It was there that I was introduced to hillbilly's "gravy" that I was told so much about. It looked more like mashed potato with gravy on top, it was so thick. My friend added a packet of salt to the mix. I don't know how she put it away. I could taste it by just looking at it. One drive home later, I conked out in bed.

Not the best thursday ever.
