March 25th: Three things you learned today

-
  1. Not to pay a blind bit of notice to people who contribute nothing to my life only negativity.
  2. How the Irish rugby team ended up conceding the opening try against Wales (thanks to a live stream blow-by-blow analysis by the one, the only Brian O'Driscoll).
  3. That I can deadlift 45kg.

Celebrity obsessions: a mark of insanity

If you have a tattoo of One Direction song lyrics somewhere on your body, if you religiously follow the Twitter pages of Hollywood's famed and forgotten, if your email address is something along the lines of 'mrsryangosling123@gmail.com' or 'meganfoxbabydaddy@yahoo.ie,' please X out of your browser. Because you, you sad pathetic human, are not going to like what I have to say. Maybe it was the decent, rural Kerry upbringing I had, or maybe I was born with a rare  gene that pre-supposes a blatant disinterest in all matters celeb. I will forever live in limbo as to the reason why. Inspiration for this post came when I was listening to the radio on the way up to college recently and a presenter implored us just before an ad break to stay tuned so that we would hear the "shocking reason why Miley is heartbroken." And I thought to myself, mother of sweet divine do people actually give a damn about this stuff? Trending topics on Twitter are a disheartening r...

March 17th: How would you describe yourself?

-
(Excuse the obvious lateness of this post. Celebrating our nation's patron saint and turning 25 simultaneously is no easy feat.) How would I describe myself? Do we have all day? Nah just kidding. But seriously though, how can one do such a thing in a succinct manner? I have many different selves. There is my true self, the self I am with my family, with different groups of friends, when at work, etc. But that's way too much. And no-one wants a big long list of adjectives either. So I'll try be as to the point as I can. I can be really inconsistent. One day, I could be extroverted af, the following day I want nothing more than to be alone in my room reading books. There are times where I have the patience of a saint and am oozing politeness; other times, I'm the crazy lady laying on the horn and shouting abuse at everyone (metaphorically, of course). But we all have those little irregularities. I'm not the only one. Other than that, I would like to think I am c...

March 30th: Describe a childhood memory

-
The first one that came to mind was when my family and I were holidaying in Kinvara in County Galway during the summer for about a week or so. I must've been maybe 7 or 8 years old at the time. One of the memories from this holiday was a day we spent at the beach - my parents, myself, and younger brother and sisters - and we decided to build this sandcastle village. I can't remember whose idea it was, but all I know is at some point in the evening, myself and Tom were there with Dad making the sandcastles first and then Dad started building this huge wall around it like a medieval town, and soon enough it grew and grew, and began to attract a bit of attention from other beach-goers that day. We even dug a bit of a moat around the outside and collected water from the sea to put in to it. I recall decorating the castles and the town walls with shells and seaweed, and putting twigs into the ground to resemble trees as the evening sun began to set. It was really cool, we took some...
