The Necessity of Baring It All
I have to wonder...What In The Name Of God is the fascination some guys have with baring their asses to the general populace?
I was sitting in a park near my place yesterday enjoying the dying rays of the sun and ice cream, chatting away to Sinead while we tried to ignore the group nearby who intruded on the tranquility every now and again. Then out of the blue and without warning we noticed that two of them were lining up backs to us and we quickly realise the horror they were hoping to unleash on us. Now of course Sinead and I studiously averted our eyes but that really doesn't stop the physiological torment of knowing what you'll see if you should look up a moment too soon. It's a nightmare and not the first time it's happened to me either :(
I would say that it's not cool or funny or endearing but I suppose those with a disposition to "moon" people are also the type who are too immature to listen.
Oh well just keep those eyes down girls.

Little Cloud of Misery
Yes that's me. Not only did I have to leave my nice warm bed this morning in order to worship the god of 9 to 5. But some other god, no doubt in retribution for some past joy I was allowed to experience, decided that he should pelt down vast amounts of water on me. The only thing that keep me going was the knowledge that at the end of it all I could enjoy the nectar of the working girl, a steaming hot cup of tea. But it wasn't to be, having arrived in my place of worship to the god of 9 to 5 I discovered that in his infinite wisdom he chose that I should suffer more. Not a drop of milk on four floors, it's got to get better.

I like to read, especially as I spend about an hour on the Dart five days a week, it helps to pass the time. So being in need of something new I took a wander around and happened upon The Mists Of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Now I'm no expert on Arthurian legend, I've read a couple of novels on the topic and I've enjoyed them, but this book has me well and truly addled, I'm totally confused. I was always under the impression that Morguase, Arthur's half sister and married to Lot de Orkney, didn't know until after she seduced him. In this book she's his Aunt and Morgaine, his half sister and appearently his lover in this version, is the Lady of the Lake. And as for Lancelot and his son Galahad, well in this version Galahad is born to the Lady or the Lake before Arthur (who isn't originally called Arthur) and then becomes know by his fellow soldiers as Lancelet.
But despite all this it's proved a good read so far and at least it's a new twist on the story :)

One I Haven't Heard Before
I'm at the doctors yesterday and at the end of the visit the doctor starts into the usual Dr. /patient lecture about smoking. I'm sitting there swiftly trying to put on my jacket, studiously nodding and agreeing for the sake of it, anything to get me out of there quicker. I mean I know all the arguments about health etc. and I hate that I have to pay out €32 for a lecture. I can get one at home for free.
So I'm at the door, almost free when she starts telling me that if I gave it up I'd be able to put together a deposit for a mortgage. What the??? Granted I've heard this argument before, mostly I must say from my parents, but never have I heard this argument put forward by a Dr. who normally throw the usual health endangering reasons. It was very strange.
And that brings me to another topic...Marriage,Mortgages,Babies, Oh my!! I seem to be surrounded by such talk at the moment. It's making me feel old. I'm too young I tell you, I'm only 24. That's young right?

The Desecration Of My Temple
I sit here in pain, limited in my movement and I have to wonder...
What was I thinking???
Perhaps the problem was that I wasn't thinking at all.
You see folks I got it into my head on Thursday night that I would "like" to get my belly button pierced. It was a spur of the moment decision and as it was late Thursday and there was no where to go get it done I duly forgot about it. That was until Saturday when I'm sitting in Temple Bar having coffee (ok tea but cofffee just sounds better) with Sinead and Emma and we're wondering what to do. I blurt out my whimsical wish. And off we go.
I have to say that the people at Body Shock were lovily. You see I'm a virgin (or at least I was) when it comes to body piercing (getting you ears pierced doesn't count) so I didn't haven't the foggist..."Do you want a bar or a ring?", "Huh?", "A ring easier to clean." See what I mean. Now I wasn't nervous about actually getting it done but I was worried about the aftercare, Sinead and Emma were great on that one. Thanks Guys. I pick out the piece I want, fill in the very legal type consent form and sit patiently waiting and dicussing tatoo designs.
So my name gets called and in I trot to the room. Paddy (the piercer) was very nice telling me it would be over in a few seconds and trying to make me calm (starting to get a little nervous at this point). So I lie down on the chair and babble incessantly to keep my mind occupied (a little trick that comes in useful when giving blood or getting anything waxed), feeling a little pinch from what I assume was the clamp I tell myself it'll be over in a second. And that's when it happened...I screamed like a bitch. I though I'd experienced pain before, not a chance, they even heard me outside *blush*. Still at least I put a smile on everybody elses face, if only for a moment.
So as I sit here now with a little patch of skin around the piercing looking red and feeling very raw and hoping it doesn't get infected what have I learned? Well...If I'm that much of a bitch when it comes to a piercing how the hell am I going to stand the pain of getting a tatoo on my lower back. I'm going to have to rethink that whole plan now and I've been thinking about it for the last 3 or 4 years :(

I know it's a great book and I'm sure the art work is loveily but at that price it'd want to be!!

Where did it all go?
So I had great plans to put in some effort on my site while at home over the weekend, you know with the scanner and the camera et al. But instead I find myself sitting here on a Tuesday evening wondering "Where did it all go?"
Don't get me wrong I had a FABULOUS time, "Thanks everyone", but it's just never long enough is it. Even if I didn't have to give up 10 hours of it travelling (I know you're saying "But the train only takes 3 hours or so" but you add on the getting to and from the station time and 10 is what you get) I'd still wouldn't have got anything done. I think after I figure out the whole money management thing (still optimistic on this one) I'm going to have to look into the time management thing. I mean other people do it so it can't be that hard can it?
