So it's Friday, and school is finally back on Monday. Kat and I spent a fantastical week in Ireland - yes, Kat came with me, it was decided on the Wednesday, we left on the Friday, it was amazing. The week was so much fun, we did the Viking Splash tour, and the Ghost Bus, both of which were great fun. On the first day, we met up with Drew, Cat and Michelle, and about 10-15 poeple we had never met before. The night ended after Drew, Cat and Michelle left at 7, and we were in McDonalds until 11 pm with 6 boys we had never met in our lives. So much fun. Kat hooked up with a guy, who we fondly refer to as Batman Hotstuff, who was from Malahide (Kat: teehee, Formaldehyde)
He added his name to my phone as Hot Stuff... and later in a phonecall, I proclaimed my joy at having talked to Batman on the phone. 'Cause I'm random like that. His real name is Eoin. No one seems to know his last name.... I'm still wondering where exactly this kid came from.. (well Malahide, obviously, but he has no last name.... creepy)
HERM St Patricks day was a lark. Didn't get to see much of the Parade, I think I saw Cat in her costume, but I'm not sure. Kat and I were much too short. We met up with Batman, Keith, Darren and Erica. Yes, that's right - I knew NONE of these people before Saturday. But I kind of love them. Cat and Michelle didn't meet up with us, and I was dissapointed. n
I saw Trinity twice, once with my cousin, and once with my mother. The Trinity local admissions office is so unhelpful! Kat took one look at the city, one look at the university and decided "so. we are going to go here together."
Then we went around some shops and planned our apartment. Kind of excited to graduate.
We were hoping to work in Ireland this summer, but my mam decided I don't need to work this summer, because we are going on a family holiday "somewhere really special"... I hope its America. Kat wants me to go to Canada with her for Canada Day. I want to so bad, but at the same time, I would prefer to go to Ireland for Q Con and other events in June. Like BURAKU - the movie that Gackt is in that's due out in June. I don't even care I HAVE to see it.
While I was in Ireland, I saw Alice, Shutter Island and I Love You Philip Morris.
I Love You Philip Morris = pretty good, even though it is Jim Carrey, Ewan McGreggor was GAHMAZING. So funny, but I could NOT believe it was based on a real story.
Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland = More Amazing Than Words.
Shutter Island = Too Shit for words. Seriously. Worst Movie of All Time. Could have been Good, but it failed. The ending almost redeemed the film, but then they added that STUPID REPETITIVE MUSIC and I almost cried. Kat almost killed the entire cinema from annoyance over the stupidity of that movie.
Friday went out with Conor, Tom, Kat and Cat. T'was epiccccc. Went to the cinema, then Conor and Cat left and Kat, Tom and I went bar hopping... without leaving the building. We found a bar, traditional Paddy bar, where we were told that a drink would be cheaper downstairs. So we went downstairs to this deserted chic bar with David Bowies face plastered on the wall. We went up to the counter, where we were told that this drink would be even cheaper still if we went down this small corridor. So we did, because we are cheapskates, and found... a heavy metal bar.
Let me reiterate this. There was 3 completely different bars in ONE building, and we kept being sent somewhere else for a cheaper drink, instead of them just taking our money.
So, I personally hadn't planned on drinking. I had no money. But Kat did. And she had me split her drinks. Wasn't much, just a couple of Guinness. But I haven't drunken anything in a WHILE. So... I got a liiiitttleee drunken. Just a wee bit. Might have made out with Kat.... 3 times. Possibly. Tom was overjoyed.
It was an incredible trip overall. I miss everyone again, and I'm disappointed about the friends I didn't get to see. I didn't see my girl, circumstances beyond my control, and there were other friends too. Jade tried to get me out for a drink or two but didn't happen. But the trip was so much fun.
Now I am waiting for the weekend to end and go back to school =/ I have so much work to do, but every time I have sat down to do work I just couldn't. Not impressed.
But I did read the Kite Runner in a day. Which was aweshum.
And add album art to my iTunes. Because that was so worth my time.
Laterzz.
