V : Meet The Parents
One month since my last livejournal entry and lots has changed...
First - I think the general agreement is that we are moving out of Blackhallgreen..
Everyone is taking separate paths, I would have considered staying on here at BHG but recent construction work outside my bedroom has started to take its toll.
7AM every morning, builders start up their JCB diggers's and continue until 3PM every day.. not sure what they're building - apartments I think - and tall ones too - blocking my scenic view of the beautiful Arbour Hill.. No longer will I be able to see prostitutes selling their wares along one of Dublin's most famous inclines. Also, my view of the neighbouring sex offenders prison is almost entirely wiped out... All i'm left with is views of scaffolding and builders bums - It really is time to pack up at BHG for good...
Tho we can't be gone too soon - our Landlady reckons we should have been gone on July 31st - even though we've always assumed the lease went up to August 31st... she's not happy with us being here an extra month, she's claiming that we've broken the terms of her lease and is threatening to keep the deposit of €1,500.. and this is before she finds the holes in the walls.

The final Blackhallgreen party is on the last Friday of this month (26th August) - Owen is returning and special guests shall be appearing - such as the infamous Head-on-a-hand statue, the perpetual-motion-wishing-cat, the 2 frying pans from pan-gate, adrian's-puke-from-our-bath-tub, our angry Chinese neighbour, and many more!!
RSVP & put it in your diary - If we haven’t got our deposits back you may bring some friends, and a selection of tools, paints and other destructive items to help cause €1,500 worth of damage.

I've not had a boyfriend in ages - my blog entries were frankly getting a bit dull - so i've gone and got two fellas to try spice up my life - but it's not easy juggling 2 datees - not in Dublin city any way! I imagine its easier to get away with this in sleazier cities like Amsterdam, or Galway but with Dublin's tiny layout its impossible to try lead a double life, So I made a decision to get rid of one of them - I realllly like them both - but tomorrow - one of them is getting the flick!
Who will it be? Boy #1 i think!!

(and possibly the weirdest thing to happen to me so far this month)
I was out drinking with boy #2 on Friday night near his family home in Rathmines. After the pub closed we went to one of the less horrid straight night clubs that Rathmines has to offer (Toast) and after that went onto one of the more horrid burger restaurants that Rathmines has to offer (McDonalds).
Of course, this racy cocktail of meat and alcohol meant I was in no state to cycle home and boy #2 suggested staying at his place, as it was just 5 minutes away..
Unfortunately boy #2 lives with his parents and his bedroom is right next door to his parents, so full discretion was advised while sneaking up the creaky staircase of his 4 storey Rathmines dwelling.
cutting a long story short...
Boy #2 attempted to jar his door shut with a metal bar, just incase anyone tried to walk in, we cuddled up together and slept.... zzz
Fast Forward to 11am the next morning - when I awoke to the sound of his parents talking outside his room - I was a bit scared.. but surely they wouldn’t walk in.. I know from experience that all mothers knock before coming into their sons rooms.. don’t they?
But No!!! In slow motion, I saw the handle of his bedroom door coming down... the door semi-opened but jammed half way because of the metal rod that boy #2 put against it... 'Why is the door locked' asked the mother of boy #2 - with some careful manoeuvring that they can only teach at mother school she managed to open the door.
My heart thumped 100 beats a second, I was closest to the door, I did the only thing I could think of and hid under the covers of his bed... Whats wrong with you asked the mother to her stuck-for-words son.. 'i'm hungover' he murmured...
The mother bizarrely decided the best thing to cheer up her hungover son was to put the family cat on his bed..
'I dont want the cat' he said...
'Oh Nonsense' was her reply
Assuming I was a big pile of pillows, she placed the cat on my stomach...
'Why do you have all these pillows?' she asked, referring to my manly physic under the sheets, she gave me a prodding with her fingers and jumped when she realised I wasnt infact a pile of pillows...
'Oh lord - who's in ur bed' she shrieked....
'no one' replied a rather stupid boy #2....
The mother realised what was going on and I think feared for the well-being of the family pet..
She grabbed the cat off my chest and stormed out of the room..
I was frozen solid - scared for myself and more so for boy #2...
I know if my mum found me in bed with a boy while living at home I would have been chopped up and chucked out...
Next his mobile phone rang - it was his mum calling from down stairs - she was furious - she instructed him to throw me out of the house...
so like a scene from a Carry On movie, I grabbed my clothes in a bundle and I had to leave, dressing myself as I left.
Both boy #1 and boy #2 live with their parents - maybe I need to get rid of both of them!

"Death Threats for Craig!
Craig has today hit the front page of the Daily Star today after his family has spoken out about the number of death threats and terror calls they have received for Craig, due to his appearance on Big Brother.
The paper has printed an exclusive relating to the story, they quote his Mum saying: "I am afraid that this is not something I want to comment on. All I will say is that we are supporting Craig 100% on the show and we think he is doing really well."
A stylist working at Craig's salon in Norfolk though is quoted as saying that they are "very worried" about the death threat against him. "It's terrible he should get something like this" she says.
Norfolk Police have confirmed: "We have been alerted to a telephone message left on an answerphone at the family home and have investigated."
The threats aren't the first directed to a housemate this year, earlier in the series - a bomb disposal team was called to the studios in Elstree, Hertfordshire after concerns that a package addressed to Kemal contained explosives (see: Day 11: Bomb Disposal Team called to BB House!).
Producers responded responsibly after they had received a number of death threats towards Kemal in days leading up to the security alert.
Big Brother bosses have admitted that security will be stepped up for Craig when he leaves the house."
