Boo!
General news...blah blah blah, nothing really important here, spent rest of holidays doing very little and enjoying it immensely, ordered a 550e keyboard that hasn't arrived yet, acquired a credit card with which to get myself into huge debt, started college and already missed more lectures than I've attended...blah blah blah
I have two newsy things of note though!
1. I have a girlfriend! This is very strange and scary for me, given that I've only ever had one girlfriend before, and have been frightfully scared ever since (not because of the first girlfriend at all at all, just because of the aftermath/knowing that having a girlfriend can change you), so I'm determined to...try do it right. I'm not very...knowledgable on it though, really, didn't realize this at all until it sort of happened. I'm forever giving advice to people on whether to break up with their partners or not, I've become quite good at it, but I have *no* idea how to be a boyfriend. I mean the game was totally different last time I was in it. Does one kiss the other upon arrival/leaving? Does one text the other constantly? Does one bring up silly little problems or just let them fade away? I'm gonna try stick to the easy-going approach and figure that I'll figure it all out in time...she is awfully cool though. I'm quite happy right now. Only problem with her is she's extremely hard to get on her own, her close group of friends are in her course with her so they...walk to college in the morning together, go to lectures together then hang around together afterwards, I'm not in the same course as her (she's in marine science, I'm in mathsy science, she thinks my course is silly, oh how they don't understand...), so I kinda have to try pull her away from them or something. I've said it to her though, so I think it'll be better next week in that sense :) Other than that though it's all awesome, and hey, if yer only problem is you'd like to see her more I don't think yer in a bad state, kinda implies you really like her..
Strangely enough, I don't think she knows I have a blog at all, so my earlier mentions of her without naming her didn't ruin things for me :p
2. I have a piercing! I've been wanting one for ever so long, I was never sure what to get (apart from that my first one was to be a face one) and put it off due to...work, then travel, then lack of money, then I had the money but was worried about...limiting potential mates to girls who like facial piercings...then last week I thought fuckit, that shouldn't really matter, I'll get it done. So I got my lip pierced. Photos below. It didn't hurt much to get it done. It has been very annoying though, I couldn't eat/talk properly for a few days and it takes lots of cleaning etc. I think it's worth it though, I'm growing ever more in love with it. One stupid stupid sidenote is the piercer told me AFTER I HAD IT DONE that I couldn't kiss anyone for two weeks, that being the night I asked Anna out. So while I did kiss her before that, I haven't once properly kissed my girlfriend as her boyfriend. And wont be able to for another 6 days. How very frustrating!
Anywho, I digress, some quiz, some photos. By photos I mean me posing various hilarious faces because it's 3am and I have absolutely nothing better to do.
How did you get your last bruise?
I can't remember the last time I had a proper bruise, that's just how much chocolate I eat...
When is the last time you cried?
Years and years ago, I don't really know how. Not in a manly manly way, there've been lots of times I would have really liked to cried and done everything one does when one goes to cry, just not the actual crying part. No idea. Supposadly you sort of laugh...
What was the last movie you watched?
The Wrestler. Like 2 hours ago in the cinema. Not a bad film, considering it's about a wrestler.
Do you hate anyone?
I dislike lots of people, only hate one. That singer songwriter that played the same heat as me in some talent show. Hate him so very much. Never spoken to him. Haaaaaate him.
Who was the last person to call you?
Chris, trying to find us in the cinema lobby while looking straight at us..before that Alan to say he wasn't going to come out tonight and that we'd have to go out tomorrow instead.
Who's in your profile picture with you?
In my LJ one it's Dave, that's an awfully old one though, should really get a new one. On my bebo it's Neil, licking my face rather drunkenly.
Do you like Red Bull?
Love the stuff. All energy drinks really. Don't do much in the way of drugs anymore, gotta get my kicks somewhere :)
What are you doing tomorrow?
Think I might be shooting with Melissa sometime in the afternoon (perhaps her reading this might answer that one)...or was it evening. I can't remember. Also gotta help my dad move something or other in the afternoon, then probably heading out in the evening on another sober adventure. Does missing getting drunk make me an alcoholic? I've tired of Galway's nightlife scene while sober, it's such a very different experience while drunk..
Ever broken a bone?
Nay!
How many days until your next birthday?
Umm...It's the 17th so like..6 months...180 days or so?.
Are you currently sad about anything?
Don't think so.Not happy with how much I'm lifting, but at least I'm lifting. Lifting sounds so very silly. Dunno what else to call it though. Worrrrkin out?
Are you tired?
Yeees, why am I doing this?
What color is the shirt you are wearing?
Baby blue..
Would you hug the last person you hugged again?
I'd hope to!
Do you have trust issues?
I have absolutely no trust for anyone whatsoever. So yes. I'm gonna try work on it, though..with the girlfriend thing my trust would be that if she were to cheat on me, she'd tell me so that I could decide what to do, rather than trusting her not to cheat on me :p It doesn't seem half as much trust necessary..
Do you find the oppisite sex confusing?
They're a confusing bunch.
How would you feel if your last ex fell in love with someone else?
I only have one ex, and I think she did, and I'm happy for her.That is to say I don't really think about it at all really, but I certainly don't feel anything bad.
Who did you last hug?
Anna, I think.
If you could move somewhere else, would you?
I dunno. I would like to live in America and I'm a little bored of Galway overrall. But I do like it here. And I like the people here :)
Are you in a good mood right now?
I am!
Do you take compliments well?
Not really. I tend to just kinda compliment them back and I either don't believe them at all or have already been told it a good few times and do believe it, in either case I have NO idea what to say. Thanks is just weird.
Has a boy/girl ever called you babe or baby?
I don't think so..well boys have certainly done it lots of times, but I don't think ever seriously. Though you never know with some of them..
Will you be in a relationship in four months?
Who knows. I hope so. I think. Scary scary. Aaaaages away though, couldn't possibly tell yet!
Do you have anything that belongs to a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Nope..
Who was the last person you had an argument with?
I had a mini argument with Colum over whether saying "waaaahhh" around knackers is appropriate when they might hear you. It clearly isn't. Sure we're old enough so that they probably wont do anything. But it's just...not a good idea like. They're still knackers, and what if it's the rare occasion that they aren't knackers? They're gonna be extremely insulted and act like knackers. Just not a good idea to make fun of people to their face in general really, especially not dodgy people. Why cause trouble when you don't need to...he didn't seem to understand me though so it just sort of faded away
Has anybody ever given you butterflies?
Yeah...a few girls have. Kind of constant butterflies currently, ranging from good to bad to inbetween butterflies!
Where is the shirt you are wearing from?
It's a hand me down from my cousin, so I have no idea. Says "Kinky Tom's Bike Shack" on it though, so I like it.
Do you mind being cold?
Not at all. Prefer being cold to being too warm..
Do you know anyone that smokes pot?
Do I know anyone that doesn't smoke pot? I'd like to think so.
Do you want kids?
Someday, in the very very far future, sure.
Do you like to text or call more?
Call, but call isn't really practical most of the time for reasons other than "Where are you?" / "Wanna come out?" so I generally text
Are you okay with making a total fool of yourself?
If it's on purpose, I'm completely okay with it, if not on purpose but it's funny I'm also okay, I'm sure there are times when I wouldn't be though..
Do you have any piercings or tattoos?
YES! I have my lip pierced now!
Looking back in time did you ever waste your time on a certain boy or girl?
Probably a little. It was kind of necessary though..and it was definitely worth it at the time
Do you know anyone who's pregnant?
Not that I know of!
Who was the last person you talked to last night before you went to bed?
Anna..
What's something you're excited about right now?
Going to Berlin in 10 days! Wooo!
What movie never fails to make you cry?
Sure every movie makes me soppy :)
Do you know anyone with such a terribly annoying voice that you can't stand?
Yes. And I hate myself for it because she's so very nice, but it is so very very annoying...
Who was the last girl you talked to?
...Anna. This isn't fair.
Could you go the rest of your life without smoking a cigarette?
I dunno. I certainly could not being addicted to them or anything, but I'm sure I will smoke another cigarette before my death, and I have no problem with this..
Were you happy when you woke up today?
No, I'd missed all my lectures and was confused by texts from people. I wish people would be more...precise in a way. If you want to invite someone over, "Come over!" or at the very least "Wanna call over?" are fine, "You can call over if you'd like" is not an invitation, and confuses me.
What are you listening to right now?
Nothing. I was listening to Guns'N'Roses - Sweet Child of mine a minute ago, due to it being at the end of The Wrestler.
What kind of socks do you have on?
Black spots ones..
Do you think you are a good person?
Not really. I do try to be, but I probably don't succeed. I can act good but I know what goes through my mind mostly isn't.
Is it hard leaving people behind?
Yeah...haven't ever really had to do it though, given that I've only ever lived here, but I'd say it is..
Do you prefer to take showers at night or in the morning?
Night, but I never ever do. If I have a nightmare I sweat in my sleep and just need to shower again in the morning, + shower helps wake me up in the morning!
Where is the furthest place you've traveled?
Either America or Egypt, dunno which is further..

Peeeeeeaace
