Is Ireland the new Zimbabwe?
But enough of that postulation, I have been rather busy over the last few weeks as queens decided to let me darken their halls once again for round 2. I thought I’d get a nice wee introduction in week 1… but oh no, I got molested in my first class. Fmoc and Boc should go to jail for this offence. These weeks have been filled with epic lectures telling us that reactions were like...

After reading this it all seems so much better, all I can say is the guy who wrote this needs an MBE

Just watched bbc newsline there, about the riots last night, were 500 policemen were needed to keep any semblance of control. It really makes you think when you see kids throwing paving slabs and using 20ft metal poles as spears why on earth the police can’t retaliate. The police can’t hit anyone unless their own life or a...

Long nights
hero-inpace:
So, Kirsty’s birthday last night. we went to union and did much dancing.
And the only things more epic than sleeping on her sofa are her boobs.
That’s as far as I read… I always knew you had a dirty mind!

Madness
Well it’s certainly been an eventful few days for me, spent friday until sunday up at Garron Tower on the far edges of the north coast. It’s for level 1 mountain leader, which is basically; can you work a compass? Can you work a map? Can you tell kids off? Well done you passed! >_> unfortunatley I have to jump through this hoop to do my level two and the summer leader etc....

My old friend
For the first time in agggeesss, I was playing my guitar tonight. Today was a long and fairly poo day, I was going to play my clarinet but I didn’t bother because my mum was in the kitchen and I feel terrible for making her hear me play so crap at the moment. So to the guitar! Was just playing elliot minor’s new song ‘Solaris’ which is pretty awesome (and easy)!

sitting in a language lab, shockingly. After a mesage from samantha I realised how very neglectful of my tumblr I was, so I decided to hit it to make it work again. To my surprise, it started up, just like many of my appliances… except for the dvd player I killed last week, woops!
In the obscenly long time period from my last post a considerable amount has happened; 2 days after christmas I...

Guess where I am... :o
Yes I’m in queens again, shock and horror…
On a sadder note, I want a laptop…soooo badly, and the depressing thing is the £200 off the laptop I wanted ends tomorrow! Argh! >_< The annoying thing is that I know I really don’t need a laptop because I live at home, doesn’t stop me from wanting one though :(
On an annoying note, one of my schools, biology has...

Sitting in queens... again :o
Listening to Cher’s ‘Walking in Memphis’ I heard it off x-files a few days ago and it’s an awesome song!
Aside from that, I have in the last 2 days discovered that I have 3 tests next week, not some dozy quia test, proper exam questions on the stuff we’ve done !>_< argh! damn my lack of background reading and those massive books I bought!
Last night was...

Sitting in Queens... mark 2!
I’m sitting here in the language lab with 4 other from my class, we’re sort of hiding here hoping nobody comes in and wonders why we’re playing facebook games in the dedicated language room :o
Today should be good if it, as long as it doesn’t rain >_> then my shiny new raquet won’t get used, noooo!
I'm twaumatwised
I just drove back from Belfast today after not getting a new tennis raquet and being forced to get an identical pair of trainiers to my ones at the mo. WHenst driving through saintfield, a car driving the other way stopped blocking the car in front of me and a granny proceeded to give the two fingers and mouth off at the guy in the car in front of me… :o
I never thought I’d see a...
Tennis
Was actually awesome, even though it turns out I’m completly crap! The guys running it are dead on thankfully as well as the other 7 beginners I was with, 1 who I swear I’ve seen and heard before seeing I recognised her face and voice, It drove me mad, seeing she was a 2nd year medical student from bangor (ergo clearly I didn’t know her).
SO it looks like me and my kiddies...
Sitting in Queens...
With my crappy, brihgt-red, oversized tennis raquet that looks like it was bought for a 10 year old. I have no idea why I didn’t just claim I didn’t have a tennis raquet instead of making a fool of myself on the very first tennis day, argh!
Also, I love the way the queens library has hardly any sanctions on what you can do online, facebook, games, tumblr etc.
My classes view on Essays
Our new American lecturer was trying to teach us how to effectivley view essays; he was very flatterring by telling us the best writers are without a doubt scientists and engineers :p. While telling us a trick with essays about extracting key info he asked
Lecturer: “And what do we find when we have looked at the key information form our paragraphs?”
Randomer: “We find the...

1 wedding and a funeral
I’m just back yesterday night from 3 days away in somerset for my cousins wedding, and I am still dead from it! There is obscene amounts of red tape in weddings, I sat around for 2 hours after the ceremony until the meal and was then forced to wait 2 and a half hours before finishing three courses! Even with that it was pretty good, It was my first ever wedding which I’m sure most...
I watched 'The Last Smaurai' last night...

I'm going to Kill Bill
I watched Kill Bil Vol.1 last night, spiffing film with plenty of mindless violence and of course more importantly katanas. However I woke myself at around 6am this morning after a dream which must’ve lasted all night where I seem to have fought every bad guy in the world, with my trusty katana. However due to it being stuck in my head, every time I dropped off I woke up 30 seonds later...

Never again...
Will I eat a hearty meal, until I’m stuffed full to brim and then go half an hour later to be thrown around like a rag doll for 2 hours. Big mistake, my stomach was talking to me in ways quite unnatural….euuughh, I’m now going to fall to the floor and probably lie there until my sister laughs at me for a while
My poor back
I got up today at 7:30am; yes truely an ungodly hour of the night it was at that point I realised that neither of my legs seemed too entertained at the thought of movement, I had to crawl and fall out of bed (which is about a metre of the ground), which didn’t aid anything really >_>
I had (un)witingly signied my self up for 24 hours of karate over 4 days, I was told it would be very...
I'll admit it...

Even I, Mr. Mellow, am on edge bout tomorrow…
Please, let something distract me for about half an hour…
….
On a side note, I smell burning…
That’s because I’m camping outside your house greg, in that hiding place from many many years ago >_>
Waiting to be lynched I suspect :D
The Spectrum
Yesterday I went sailing for most of the day in strangford, which was pretty class. Also while I was out I went fishing for the first time in my life and caught three fishies!! :o Some hopefully I will nom on them tonight mmmmmm
However at the other end of the fun spectrum; I’m just back from a trip to the dentists for two fillings >_> it’s was a rather painful, damn my fear of...
Parky Police
So there I am, innocently driving home at 2 in the morning after a rave at the cottage, with another car in tow in ballynahinch. “For flip’s sake” I say, “He’ll probably tail me half the way home”. As I stare in the mirror some more (i.e not looking at the road at all) I notice the toyota badge and laugh to myself of how that looks a bit like parky’s...
:o
It’s amazing I go for a walk for half an hour to come back and find I’ve attainted some form of love/like!
Also I saw parky has now broadcast me onto the wider tumblrness, noooo! Now I can’t use this just to stalk Jack’s amazing posts! I spent my first while on tumblr reading through all Jack’s posts, my mother asked my why I was crying but at that point I...
Damn it all!
Yes, It’s true I’ve given in to the boredom of my life, hoping to be enthralled by this ‘tumblr’ that seems to eat up most people’s lives. It’s not that I do nothing, I seem to have obscene amounts of free time (to waste basically).
Go on shoot me down with screams of hypocrisy I deserve it!
