Stand Up For Who You Are!
If someone tries to bring you down, hold your head higher & smile
People get picked on & bullied for many different things. It could be something as simple as the clothes you wear or your style of hair, to the colour of your skin or the person you choose to love, whether it be a man or a woman.
I'm one of those people. However, I just think I have a flashing neon sign above my head saying "Pick On Me!" as I've no idea why people choose to bully me. I'm just trying to be myself! And that's just it! No matter what you do, how many times you colour your hair, or change your clothing style, some people will just walk right over you.
So, what do we do?
We have to learn to stand up for ourselves, because it's our right to have the freedom to live as we are. We shouldn't have to change ourselves in any sort of way, except to gain a bit of confidence & build on our self esteem.
My blog is about how I try to be me, trying to be the best I can be!
I promise you this is not a super depressing blog, because I sure as hell ain't a depressed person, though, I do have my moments, just as everyone else does.
This is where I will be 100% myself, expressing my thoughts & feelings on different matters & also my daily life.
What I hope to do here on this blog, is to put a smile on your face &, hopefully, let you know it's okay to be yourself; to be proud of who you are!
If you do read my blog & you find that you find what I say has some truth to it, or my wackiness & randomness of my true self puts a good smile on your face, please don't hesitate to comment & let me know! Putting a smile on someone's face is always the best thing! It'd make my day! :)
Well, I hope you enjoy my blog... Have a good day! :)

Packing!
I'm going to the Gaeltacht tomorrow.
The Gaeltacht is the name given to the Irish speaking areas in Ireland. I'm going to be attending a three week course to improve my Irish for school. I won't be allowed a phone, iPod or any electrical device. No internet access. I can't even read a book in English or watch tv!
Don't get me wrong, the Gaeltacht (we just call the course that) is so freakin' fun! You stay in local peoples' homes with numerous other students, of the same gender, &can't speak English, except for an exception of one English word per sentence. You have class every weekday morning & then ceilís (Irish traditional group dances) every single night. We play sport; have singing competitions where we change the lyrics of hit songs & translate them into Irish. There's theme nights & trips!
However, since last time I went I've become a bit of an Internet addict. Plus, I need the connection with my friends. Then there's all my music... At least my friends that live in Ireland, along with my boyfriend, can mail me letters. Nothing like some pen & ink!
I think I might not hand up my iPod when I arrive. It's risky, but as long as I hand up my phone, I shoud be okay. Plus, IM gave me a creative idea to hide it in my socks! Haha! I think I might do it for the craic, but I'll see how thing go there first. There may be a problem of charging it, though, so I'll see.
Hm... What else? Maybe the fact that I probably won't be blogging for three weeks...? I don't think I'll have a chance tomorrow before I go, so this'll be my last post until July 22nd, unless I post right after this again!
Oh! Wait! I may have Internet once a week on Sundays, as it's my day out with my parents, so maybe I'll post a bit then :)
Anyway, I feel a bit sick now. I don't know if it's because of what's happened the last few days, my boyfriend & how things will go not talking to him really, the whole Gaeltacht thing & having to try & make new friends, or, just the whole lot together. Either way, I plan to make the most of these next three weeks & maybe get a job as soon as I get back!
Well, have a good July! I'll more than likely talk to ye towards the end of the month - I doubt I'll manage many posts in between.
Goodnight! ^_^ <3

ANGER!!!
Am I Crumbling?
A Good Day!
After that, I helped clean the rooms a little before heading into town & meeting with my good friends, D, J & R. We had lunch out together.
It was nice! I relaxed. I was me. J even called me "Mom" for being so pissed off about the belly button piercing thing & I laughed. I actually laughed about it! Usually I'd want to tell her to shut the hell up or give her a death stare. I'm never good with jokes when I'm 100% serious. I'm glad I could just laugh.
We talked & caught up with each other & then J headed off, back to work. D, R & I went for a walk down by the riverside near town, before I went to the hairdressers.

Emotionless
I don't know what to do or what to think...
I've hurt someone that loves me, but I don't want their love. Yet, I did care for them greatly once before. However, not in the same way they seem to care about me. Friendship & support was all I thought we had, they wanted more. Thought we could have more.
But I've turned into a brick wall. Hard. Cold. Unmoving. I have no emotion for this person... Only anger, but I don't even know why.
He says he thinks about me all the time. He cries for me, but we have never met in person. I don't understand it. I can make friends over the Internet - Good friends - but, for anything stronger, I think you should know the person in real life, not just on a screen.
These last few months I've become cruel. I don't know when it started. I don't really know why. Maybe I do... But it's all too complicated. All I know is that I don't love him the way he wants to be loved. I don't know if I even want to be friends. He's cut off all contact now, because I was a bitch earlier today & just sent me a message before deleting me completely on another app that we met on. He explained his feelings & how he almost killed himself last month... I understand his life isn't the best, that things aren't always going his way at all, but I'm not worth killing himself over. Not at all!
We've only skyped a handful of times, dammit!
I don't know... I'm more angered than anything else... I don't want to be forced to be his friend - i dont want his friendship any more - but I don't want to leave him there, in the cold, either.
I feel like an emotionless freak.... A brick wall.

Overreacting, But Still....!
My good friend, J, says she got a belly button piercing. R, another good friend, says she was with her. This has been over mail on Facebook. I believe neither of them.
I really hope they're joking.
I'll fecking kill them if they're joking!
I really hate belly button piercings. They look lovely - sure, I'd have one myself if that was just it - but they can be so dangerous sometimes.
If someone hits you in the stomach, you're going to be in so much pain. There have been a few cases where belly button piercings have caused life threatening damage to the body of wearers during car accidents, from being hit by someone or getting caught in something. It's too freakin' dangerous to have no matter how "small" the chance may be of you getting hurt.
This is a good example of the small but scary risks. I've read others.

Then the even more common stuff would be the infections, though I do know not everyone gets them...

On top of all this, I'm 90% sure they're fucking with me.
They better be.
But I'm probably going to be so pissed off if they are. I don't find it funny at all.
If she isn't I don't know what I'll say. She has never, ever, mentioned wanting one before nor doe she seem like the type of girl to have one. Like, we live in Ireland, for Christs sake! When is she even going to be even showing it off, if we don't even have the weather to wear bellytops and the like???
She doesn't even wear that sort of clothes. This is way out of her character. I don't really believe it, but why joke about it? They could obviously tell I was pissed off. I've never been that well at hiding that I'm angry. Ugh! I don't know what I'm going to say Thursday!!!!

Going To Bed! (Excuse My Vulgar Language)
Tomorrow. I'll hopefully Skype her then. It'll be good to chat to her before I go to the Gaeltacht! Even if it's for 10 - 15 minutes (as if we could ever keep our conversations that short. Ha!).
I plan to chat with all the girls this week, but I got to watch my mail now and my timing. Blah. I was looking forward to talking to her. Tomorrow is another day.
Recommendations....?

Rance, My Day & a Little Info on Me!
After all the guests were served breakfast, Mam & I headed into Galway city to do some food shopping and I bought Endure, by Carrie Jones. I love her! Ye should check her out!
Then, I had an appointment at the beauticians, for laser hair removal. It's sort of sore, but not much - only where the hair is thickest. I wouldn't get it if I didn't need it, though. I've a hormonal unbalance, so I've a thick hair growth on my neck & then on the top of my lip. I sort of had sideburns too. Mam & Dad got me the treatment for my birthday last year because of the bullying... I love them. It's helped a lot, but it's expensive and I'm going to have to pay for it myself soon (another reason to get a job!).
Anyway, I started to get headaches just before lunch. It feels like someone is sticking hundreds of needles into the top of my scalp. It's not overly painful, but I can't think properly and I feel shit. I sort of got that empty feeling again on top of that. I even slept for like 2 hours after we got home! I feel a little bit better now, but the pains coming back... Ugh!
Anyway, I got to go do some ironing and make myself a bit useful! I'll talk to ye later or maybe tomorrow :) <3
Quick Post!
Anyway, I think there's some sort of famous illustrator staying in our B&B, but I'm unsure. His name is Rance Jones. He arrived and Dad showed him to his room and the norm. Then, Dad came into the kitchen to get the guy some coffee and banana cake. I asked him what the new guest was like.
"Well, he's an artist from Dallas... And he's an asshole!"
Mam & I couldn't stop laughing at Dad's outburst. However, I could sort of see why Dad thought of him as one when I talked to him for like a couple of seconds. It's his ways that give off the asshole vibe. He might be alright otherwise.
When, I was talking to mam after that, she said to Google him, for the craic! Mind you, we don't usually do this sort of stuff, but it was for the fun of it! Turns out that there's an extremely good illustrator under the same name living in Dallas. I'm unsure if it's him though - I can't get a clear photo on Google. It would be amazing if it was!
I might ask him, if I can tomorrow, what does he specialise in to see if it's really him...
Been looking up sights...
Either this guy... http://www.rancejonesart.com/Rance_Jones.html
Or this guy... http://rancejones.com/welcome.html
But I'm pretty sure the men mentioned in both of these websites are the one guy. There's no clear photo though, so I'll still have to ask. Amazing artwork though! I would love if this was the guy staying in our home!
Anyway, I better be off to bed! I'll chat to ye soon.
Goodnight! :)
P.S.
You have to look up the movie,
The Matchmaker. I love it! It
was made in my local area a few
years ago! It's fecking hilarious!

I'm Sorry
I'm not sorry that I'l always be here for you.
I may not be as close as I want to be, but I'm here all the same.
I'm not sorry that I'm always ready to listen, even if I can't ask the questions I need to.
I'll always be ready to learn and try and understand better, &, so, I'll know better for next time around.

Thinking of Writing!
So, maybe, I'll just put on some Florence and the Machine & just type... See, the thing is, I come up with my best ideas when I'm either ironing clothes/sheets, making beds, or, telling someone about my old ideas. Then, by the time I get a chance to grab a pen and paper, they have danced away, just out of my reach, only to taunt me once more when I've no pen to snag them with!
I swear they're just up to no good, those devious little ideas. They just do it to drive me insane, but it'll never happen - I won't let them win! I'll wrestle them onto paper some day soon... I'll win this war!
Yes... I am 100% sane... No doubt about that! *wink, wink*
I think I'm going to try and write or type something now. Haha! :)

Talkin' & Walkin'
I'm not big into walking, but if I've someone to talk to it's perfectly fine. We didn't even feel the time pass. It was great just to talk about everything and anything with her. She even told me the next part of her story she's written (she's really talented - I'm not being biased here) & I told here whatever ideas I have for mine, which, yet again, I'm having trouble just putting onto paper or even typing it up!
Anyway, it was a day well spent! It was great laughing, giggling and just being plain stupid at times for the craic (Irish word for fun - pronounced "crack", but I promise it has nothing to do with drugs! Haha!). I even came home with two huge blisters on the heels of my feet &, as sore as they are, feck 'em!!! It was worth it!
I love D! We may go for another walk on Friday, plus J was saying the four of us (D, R, J and I) should try and meet up for lunch in town some day next week before I go to the Gaeltacht.This will be great considering J & R live on the other side of town to me and D, about 40 - 50 minutes away. So, without public transport like they have in the big towns in cities, it's hard for us to see one another when we're on school holidays.
So, this will be something to look forward to, before I head off for three weeks, without a mobile or Internet access (well, except for Sundays, but I'll explain that better another day) in the Gaeltacht!
I'm starting to wonder how I'll survive without it all now - I've become a bit of an Internet-addict in the last year & I can't even use my iPod or read English books! It'll be an adventure, I'm sure...!

I Just Can't Wait!!!
My Day Today!
My day was pretty good overall, however, I was really tired this morning. I then started to feel sick, so Mam let me go lay down in bed instead of working. Mam reckons it may be my iron tablets (I'm slightly anaemic) that are making me feel ill. I've been taking them more lately because I've been feeling light headed more &, on top of that, I'm on my period. One of the side effects of the tablets is that you can feel nauseous, so I won't take one tomorrow. I actually slept until 1.30pm because of that!
Later, Mam headed off to town with my sister and got some Father's Day gifts for Dad. I already got him a huge card, but I asked my sister to buy him Butler's chocolates for me & Iwould pay her back. She was going to buy him a book. I think it's called The Lost Symbol. It's one of those Da Vinci Code books. By Darren Brown, I think. But, they didn't have it in stock. I don't know what she got him now, instead. I'd say she ordered in the book though.
After dinner, Mam, my sister and my brother went back into town to the small local theatre to see Snow White and the Huntsman. Meanwhile, I finished whatever jobs I had to do & then skyped IM. It was great to talk to her! I felt awkward at first though. I don't know why. It was okay after a few minutes, though. I'm so glad to just chat with her. I had so much to say, but I forgot. -_-" I have to learn to make a list before we talk! Plus we get so easily distracted! Like I think we were having a little rant about younger kids having mobile phones and the like and we ended up talking about Polly Pocket and the old toy sales at school. I love it though. There isn't many people I can just talk like that to.
I had to hang up on her, though, when her mam and partner came to my house. I still find it funny how they came over to Ireland at different times, with only a week or two between when IM was here. Her mams doing some work over here, so it isn't all holiday anyway, so I guess it's understandable. Anyway, I talked with her mam, A, and her mam's partner, P, until around 10pm when they went to bed. I've always loved A and it was so great to see her, but I'd never met P before. I like him. It makes me smile when he jokes around a bit with A. I like seeing her face light up. It's so cute! God, I almost started crying. Like happy tears. I'm such a wuss! I'm just happy for her.
And the tears start again. I seriously need to man up or something! I don't ususally do this. Haha!
Anyway, I'm off to bed! Busy day tomorrow! :) Sleep well all of you and have a good day tomorrow
Goodnight! <3

Feeling Good! :)
Like, okay, there's moments I feel sort of crappy, or I just really miss all my friends and I want to do nothing but talk to them. Be with them. But I get over those moments easy enough and I'm fine again. Well, half-cracked, but that's totally normal in my case. It wouldn't be any fun if I was anything but!
I don't even have as much problem working either. Yes, I get a bit annoyed doing everything for mam, and I might mess on the iPod a bit, but I'm still doing my work more and I don't complain as much as I normally would. Actually, overall this season in the B&B, I have been basically just doing the work! I hope whatever has made me do this doesn't go away. I quite like the way I'm working. Hopefully it'll rub off onto my studying skills come the end of August! :P
I'm trying to get along with Dad better too. I like it when we're not annoyed at one another. We're so much alike, however, which makes it so easy to be annoyed. But I love him and I know he loves me, so it makes me happy that we're not at each other as much lately! :)
I don't even really feel depressed or down really any more either! Maybe just the odd time I'll get that empty feeling when I think of IM & my other close friends, D, J & R, and how I miss them, but I then just try to message one of them and it usually helps shake the loneliness off. I think I'll try and meet D soon, if the weather clears up. She lives the closest to me of all my friends, so we'll maybe just meet up and walk around our area and just talk. It might help the empty feeling to become even less again. :) I may not feel like I can tell D everything, sometimes, but I think I'm going to try and do that now. Bottling things up like I do doesn't really help and I can't just wait to Skype or meet IM in person any more. It gets too much for me, so I get depressed and stuff. So I'll have to learn to trust D more. It's hard to know what she thinks though, at times. Whatever. I need to stop worrying what people think of me anyway. I can just ask her if I really want to know. I need to relax more - that's probably why I'm happy more too. I'm more relaxed than I would be at school! I'm going to try keep it that way :)
Laying in Bed Thinking (Giggling XD)
My best friend's mam, from Sweden, is staying in my house tomorrow with her partner. I'm excited! I can't wait to see her & also meet her partner for the first time. My friend says he's really nice, but, as my mam said, "We'll be the judges of that!" Haha! Mam and I have been trying to say his name properly. IM (my friend) had told us how to pronounce his name, but we sound like two complete Irish eejits when we try to say it! XD So, I don't think we're even going to try now. We'll just pronounce it like the English would.
I want to hug IM's mam when she comes, but, as excited as I'll be, I'm afraid I'll cry. I always freakin' cry when I don't want to the most. I don't know why I'd cry though. Like, it's not like IM herself being here and leaving again. That was two weeks ago. Totally different. I'm over thinking it.
Another thing I'm thinking about is the film The Wedding Date. I freakin' love it! I just watched it on tv before I started typing. I don't know the guy actors name, but - fuck - he's hot!!!
I just Googled him... Dermot Mulroney... Such an Irish name... Holy shite! He's 48! He looks freakin' good! What else do we have here? Oh! Well, he is of Irish descent, though he's from Virgina. His ancestors were from one of the same places my family originated too. Pretty cool!
Gosh! I'm such a stalker! Haha!
I have a boyfriend! Must resist hot older men. Must. Resist.
Well, I guess it's okay to look at the menu, as long as I don't taste anything!
My poor boyfriend! Haha! God... If only he could see what goes through my head! XD I'm glad he can't - some stuff may scare him! Haha!
Hopefully, I'll dream of my version of The Wedding Date with K, my boyfriend, in the form of my sexy hooker! Oh, I'm making myself giggle...!

A Short Story :)
I began to walk down the street. As I took my first few steps, I inhaled deeply, my back arching inwards, causing my head to tilt back. I felt my fragile, black wings fold back into my skin. A shiver ran up my spine from the sensation.
I could hear nothing but the whisper of the wind as it caressed my bare arms and upper back. The whole street - town, even - was deathly silent. It was as if everyone had fallen, magically, asleep.
I smiled at my handiwork, before letting my grin drop. I sighed. I wish I had listened.
Though it was many millennia ago, I could still clearly remember my mother telling me, in the odd clicks and whistles of my native tongue, to be careful what I prayed for. As a young child, I had always dreamed of becoming our great Goddess. Her name translated from the ancient language would mean something similar to "Giver of Life, Punisher of Death", for She could control the very essence of life; She could decide if you lived or died.
I prayed each night to our Goddess asking Her to give me beautiful, velvet wings like her own. I begged her for great magic like her's.
On my seventeenth birthday, my wish was granted: I woke with large, fairy-like wings, midnight black like my hair. Frightened, I ran to my mother. When she saw me, she too became frightened. Yet, being the loving mother she was, she tried to comfort me.
Once her fingertips brushed my elbow, she turned to dust. I had killed my own mother just like that.
Terrified, I had ran from the hut I had once lived in, before I could harm any others.
From then on, I have wandered the Earth, becoming the Goddess as the original as She passed her powers on to me before fading away from existence. I can control people's lives at will; create new species of animal; be no longer affected by temperature or weather. I cannot die.
As if to prove this to myself, I looked down at my bare feet and clothes - a black, sleeveless, corset styled top and black skinny jeans.
Then it began to snow. Heavily. If my eyesight wasn't sharper than a human's, I would've been blinded by the white sheets of snow falling before me.
Then, suddenly, a terrible scream pierced the silence of the sleeping street. I opened my mouth to taste the emotions the sound carried - terror, grief, sadness, loss.
It was the cry of death, the reason I had come here. I followed the trail of feelings to a two storey, semi-detached house. The door opened for me as I entered the hall, bringing a whirlwind of snow with me, before the door shut itself again.
I listened for another loud cry, but all I could give ear to was the rumble of the now strong wind beating against the house. Then I heard it - a whimper.
At inhuman speed, I found the source of the sound in an upstairs bedroom. It was a little girl. Her long, blond hair covered most of her face, as it was tilted. There was the stain of tear drops below her on the sheets of the bed she leaned against.
Upon the bed was a woman. Her skin was pale, her lips were blue.
The little girl looked up at me. She didn't seem startled to see me suddenly appear in the room. Her bottom lip quivered as she said, "Help my mommy. She's really cold and won't wake up." My heart ached as I remembered the loss of my own mother.
I came to stand at the edge of the bed and knelt down, so I was directly above the mother's face. Ever so gently, I pressed my lips to her forehead, passing great heat into her body. Her cheeks turned rosy pink and her lips became a juicy apple red.
As I moved away, towards the window at the other side of the bedroom, I heard a gasp for air and the words, "What happened?"
"Oh, Mommy!" I didn't need to look to know the little girl was now clutching her mother, hugging her with all her might.
I exhaled a long and hard breath, as my back arched again. This time, I hunched inward, as my large wings folded out of my skin.
I was about to open the large section in the window, when I heard a quiet, small voice, "Thank you fairy girl."
I looked over my shoulder at the little girl who was now sitting on the knee of her mother. I gave them a fleeting smile and a slight nod, before flinging the window open and jumping out.
My super sensitive hearing picked up the scramble of feet as I soared higher into the cloud covered sky.
A single word travelled the wind: "Angel."
I spiralled into the centre of the snow storm, hands outstretched as if i was trying to grip the clouds. I wished, at that moment, I was an angel like the mother thought.
Anything would be better than the cursed beast I had become. Forever to roam the Earth.
Forever alone.
I closed my stormy, grey eyes. When I opened them again, the snow storm had vanished. There wasn't a cloud in sight.
Time to go, I thought, and I let my midnight wings carry me to the home of my next survivor - or victim.
The Guests of the B&B
Some people are a bit iffy, expecting that we're a hotel or something. We're not. We're a family welcoming strangers into our home. They don't see that and expect everything a four star hotel has for a fraction of the price! We've four stars - heck, the inspector said we deserve five, but our rooms needed to be larger - but we do not work the same way as a hotel. Similar, but not the same.
However, that's only a small number of the people that stay here. Majority of the people that stay in our home seem to feel that they can't say thank you enough. They chat to us. They joke with us. They are welcomed home! Sometimes people even return years later. It's lovely! It puts a smile on my face to think we make people feel welcome enough that they want to tell their friends. They want to come back.
I love talking to these guests. You can meet some interesting and lovely souls. Today, for example, I was serving breakfast to a trio (a man with his wife and brother - in - law) from South Africa. The fact that they were from South Africa alone was spactacular to me - it's rare that we get anyone from there or many of the countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Then, I had mentioned I was saving up for a Nikon D3100 (I'm taking donations readers! :P), when taking a photo of the three of them with a professional camera belonging to the husband. We ended up chatting for a good while. Turned out he was a photographer. So, when leaving, they handed me €15 towards my camera savings andthe husband will be sending my parents emails with info and links to the best photography shops that he knows of in Ireland! Like, wow!!!!
They didn't need to do that at all and this is why I love the B&B -though I may often may say I don't like it at all. You meet some amazingly cool people. It's crap when they leave. Seriously! But the connection has been made and, maybe, we'll meet again some day if they return.
I really hope the South Africans return some time in the years to come... :)

Writing...
Holding the Fort!
Today...!
They were lovely! Sometimes, it's sad to say goodbye to some people. I'll probably never see most of them ever again. Only a small number actually come back repeatedly.
I then proceeded to clean the an suite bedrooms upstairs with the help of the young French woman works in our B&B a few days a week. She's really nice and humorous! Her English isn't the best, but it doesn't hold her back - she could basically be a long lost family member! However, I had to go around the place after her to make suree she hadn't forgotten anything... Which she had. I hate having to tell her she did this, that and the other wrong. I feel like such a nag. She won't learn if I don't, though.
Then, after lunch, Mam made us cut up plums for the jaam she's making tomorrow (she sells some in the local shops). Three freakin' boxes! It took 2hrs 30mins to 3hrs - no exageration. I now hate plums. The jam better feckin' turn out well tomorrow!

Mam gives me €50 a week as pocket money for working in the B&B, but, if I did the exact same work for the same number of hours, outside my home, I'd easily make four times that!
I'm saving up for a Nikon D3100. It's a DSLR camera! I really like photography &, instead of using my iPod all the time, I'd love to have a proper camera. I plan to get lessons for join the local photography group once I can get my hands on the D3100. However, I need roughly €400 for a secondhand one off ebay. Considering I'm saving up to buy stuff on my yearly holiday on top of that, things aren't going so well... Plus, I've to pay for stuff like phone credit, necessities and things while I'm at the Gaeltacht (Irish camp).
So, maybe, I'll put up a poster for babysitting...? At night though, I'm not great with babies and young kids... God! >.< I hate, at these times, living in a rural area! Stuff is so limited! Got to keep trying though...
Wish me luck! <3
A Little Poem I Just Wrote
Y'know? A heads up before something happens.
A warning.
However, it doesn't always come.
You're forgotten.
Left behind in the chaos.
You've no knowledge of what's happening.
Fend for yourself against the unknown,
Through the anger, the tears, the hurt.
You're left alone,
And you know it.
On purpose?
Of all the people,
You were the one lost in the woods,
Left to find your way home.
Will you find it?
Will they come back to save you?
Or will you stumble and fall, left forgotten in the undergrowth...?

My Boyfriend! :D
We talked for a good while, before having some fun! Hehehehehehehehe! ;) XD
Then we talked a good bit again. Dad was late coming to collect me, so my boyfriend's mam asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. I did, so rang mam to ask if it was okay, but, of course, that was when the doorbell rang. Dad had arrived.
I had a good day overall with him, though. We just lay together, not talking, on his bed, for a while. It was relaxing & comforting. I had trouble not falling asleep!
I love him... <3

Emptiness...
I want - I don't know what I want. Maybe to cry...? Shout? Scream?! Screaming sounds good right now, but the guests (we've a bed and breakfast) might think someones being murdered, or, plainly, has the volume up too loud.
I hate this empty feeling... I hate feeling unwanted and lonely... I have enough of it at school some days, because of dickheads and bitches and the like. It's worse at home though...
I just wish I was with my friends... I want to be away from here... I want to be wanted by someone and not doubt things about whether they really do. I don't want to feel like I could be a problem or that I'm annoying them when I'm around or if I say something... But I feel that now and when I'm with the ones I love...
Ugh.. I hate all of this...
An Epic Adventure!
On the bus with one of my closest friends, D, I read and edited her story. It's a good plot! She's really creative! I wish I could tell ya more, but, as editor, I'm sworn to secrecy! Hopefully ye can all read it yourselves some day :)
We then scoured the Eyre Square Shopping Centre and all of Shop Street for converse (got my first high-tops!), bras & DVDs... No shop was went unnoticed by our judging stares! Then, we ate in McDonald's before heading down to see Snow White and the Huntsman. It was a brilliant film! I highly recommend it.
D started writing something on her story, so I finished typing up something small I'd been working on myself on my iPod. T'was a nice relaxing journey home. Well, apart from the fact my seat was broken, as it just kept reclining, no matter what I did. -_- I was squashing the poor American fella in the seat behind me and there was no empty seats... He was pretty cool about it though, thank God!
Well, that was my epic adventure!
I'm off to bed! Goodnight! <3

Hum Diddley Dum!
Hmm...
It's weird. I feel neither happy nor sad. Sort of blank.
I could suddenly get annoyed one minute and literally burst into song the next! O.e Then I'll just feel sort of empty... Gosh, I'm such a freak! Haha :P
Laying in bed...
Anyway, after all that, me & my sister watched the beginning together before she had to go to bed & I watched the rest. I'm going to give her my laptop to watch the rest tomorrow or whenever. :)
Random thought... I wonder is my friend really A-okay... I really hope she tells me whats wrong next time, instead of just blogging it... She says she's a problem communicating her problems, which I can understand, but something bugs me about it all... I don't know... I hope this ain't the beginning of a series of unfortunate events & knowing my luck, it may be... Hopefully, I can see her again this year & we can talk more in person rather than over Skype. At least we talked this morning too. I had never felt so horrible in my life until last night. I could actually understand why people have suicidal thoughts, though I could never do it to my family and friends, of course, but I had very bad thoughts, thinking she may not want me any more... Blah... I really love her... I hope I never have to feel that way again. I don't think I could survive without our friendship.
I'm just going to have to try to talk to her more. She's going to have to learn to reply to all my messages though!
Anyway, I better sleep now! I have to get up to serve breakfast in 6hrs! :O
Oh & my brother is playing in the finals tomorrow, like I mentioned. My dad & sister are going to go up and watch & I'll stay home and help mam.

My Day :)
Get dressed. Go upstairs. Clean the B&B bedrooms with Mam/Dad. Hoover said rooms. Eat lunch. Breath for a bit. Fold sheets & towels. Breath some more... I'm currently breathing some more.
Earlier, my younger sister mentioned that Avengers Assemble was on at 2pm in the small theatre in town. I thought we could go into town on the bus and the two of us could watch it. Her twin brother is going to see it today as well, with the school soccer team (they're heading up to Dublin to the All Ireland FAI final for the primary school teams. The movie is a little treat! I hope he wins tomorrow!). However, the bus times are shite. There was only three times the bus was going by the end of our road and they were either too early or way too late! The joy of relying on public transport in the middle of a rural area! So, I said we could stream the film online or something after dinner. It'll be nice. :)
