I read back on my Journal and found a post about the realisation of what a funny, entertaining life I have had. Where did it go? Did I forget to feed it or something? Maybe I forgot to pack it while moving house. I rarely laugh or smile anymore, I've been dating a fantastic, cute boy and I am totally indifferent to him as I am so bored, so fucking bored. Nothing entertains me, nothing moves me. I find my life is all about bills and money, not going out, not buying anything, not moving from my house if I don't want to.
I have three more years in college left, but honestly what is the point? I am tired, cranky, upset, unmotivated and permanently pissed off.
I did have a fantastic life, but lately I have stopped forcing it, no one rings me and I dont care anymore, my phone is turned off now. I got depressed at hearing noises and thinking it was a text. Is it drugs? Drink? Am I actually a boring person as I dont do these things anymore? Was it just my habits that led to me having friends, I was an entertaining and fun bowsie, take that away and you have a sad man looking back at his pathetic glory days.
I dont even enjoy sex anymore, I dont enjoy wanking, I do it to sleep, it serves a function.... to help me rest, not for pleasure anymore. |

| Writer's Block: Life Changing Experiences |
[Apr. 29th, 2008|05:43 pm] |
Three life changing experiences?
Well firstly coming out of the closet. I could have stayed in but why bother? Its been a good way of keeping shit friends away from me for years now. Major life changing thing, funny though cause some (mundane) straight people sometimes think that oh your gay, you just sleep with the same gender. But its not, it gives you a completely different outlook on life, Ive noticed how boring and predictable some people are. They have never done anything other than work, school and shag. They have never questioned themselves or met people from a different background. They dont learn, or grow. So being gay is probably one of the best things that ever happened to me really.
Going to college is probably number two, its settled me a lot. Not worrying about going out, will I pull? what will I do with my life now? Ive a five year plan and after that the world is my oyster.
Cant think of a no. 3 might come back and edit it. |

| End of college year |
[Apr. 29th, 2008|05:29 pm] |
Well I've made it to the end of a college year, just got those pesky exams next week now. Had IT last week, think I've done pretty ok, doubt I got a merit but a pass will do. Been studying maths and management, still got to tackle customer care, accountancy and economics.
Working all last week while Wil was on holidays , had to be all butch and stuff, carrying people out, kicking people out. Not looking forward to working all summer but the money will be good til I get my loans cleared. |
|
|
| Two weeks off |
[Mar. 29th, 2008|05:31 am] |
Just had two weeks off, which was fab. Worked a load, its the first time Ive had money in my wallet which wasnt earmarked for rent, bills or the credit union.
Back on monday, and I have assignments due in like ten days,none of which I have started. I work better under pressure. Started planning my summer already, Going tothe west for ten days, a few surfing lessons,the Life festival and general bowsieness around Galway. Hoping to get to Waterford a few times also, I havent been in over 6 months.
And hoping to get my playstation revved up a bit and get better at my badminton, my shoulder is killing me after this week, but hey my muscle tone is looking excellent so Im happy with that! |

| Amazing |
[Feb. 2nd, 2008|03:03 pm] |
|
I've realised how amazing I actually am. The travel and experiences I've had. I spent last night very drunk at Donna's, who I actually believe is my soul mate. Loads of people and I was the centre of attention, because I have so many stories and such a unique outlook on life. Some really excellent people were there and I laughed harder than I have done in ages. I'll really have to edit this when I'm sober.... |

| The year that was |
[Jan. 15th, 2008|05:20 pm] |
1)Was 2007 a good year for you?
Yes, it was a fantastic building block for the rest of my life.
2) What was your favourite moment of the year?
Garden Party was wonderful, hanging around with Ealain, Ailish, Emer, Willie and the 'little one'
3) What was your least favourite moment of the year?
No stand out worst moment.... a general feeling of depression in winter, funnily enough I suffer from S.A.D. only in Wexford. Maybe the doctor telling me I had Hepetitas..... He perhaps should have told me it was only Hep A in the same sentance.
4) Where were you when 2007 began?
At Donna's, which is now my house.
5) Who were you with?

9) Do you have a new years resolution for 2007?
Nope
10) Did you fall in love in 2007?
I think I stopped getting emotional highs and lows in 2007, no love, no hate. Apathy towards lesser beings is a major theme of 07. I believe in mankind having a pecking order. And if you can't see it, your at the bottom.

12) If yes, do they know?
13) Are you still in love with them?
14) Do you regret it?

Dating is not a good thing for me to do. It puts me in a bad position. I love breaking up..... it's the dating I have issues with.
16) Did you make any new friends in 2006?
Not friends in the deep meaning I have of the word no. I lost a lot though. Changed my phone number and didn't contact a lot of people, deleted my Bebo, my email had changed the year before so I've cut an awful lot of ties that were holding me back.

Dublin, Galway, Waterford a lot.... Waterford was great. Playing games, going to the cinema, chatting about really random things with really kewl people.
21) Did you lose anybody close to you in 2007?
Not physically, or emotionally either.
22) Did you miss anybody in the past year?
I missed my old self a bit, but I'm happier now. By default missing my old self ment missing my old friends but I've accepted that time in my life is best off in the graveyard.

Pet Shop Boys were pretty kewl at Garden Party, suprised at how much I enjoyed them.

Not in comparison to other years
29) Did you do a lot of drugs in 2007?
Nope. once or twice only
30) How many people did you sleep with in 2007?
Four. I'm not as pretty as I was and I just couldn't be arsed anymore.
31) Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year?
Shame is for lesser beings.
32) What was the biggest lie you told in 2007?
The world automatically makes whatever I say true. If I tell a lie the world will change to make it factually accurate.
33) What was the worst lie someone told you in 2007?
Don't know, I'm not really close enough to anyone to give a shit whether they lie to me or not.
34) Did you treat somebody badly in 2007?
Only people who deserved it.
35) Did somebody treat you badly in 2007?
My sister tried to be a bitch to me, she just didn't realise that firstly, I don't view her as being a human being and secondly, she'll never be intelligent enough to get one over than me. I've had a lot of practice at being a total cunt.
36) How much money did you spend in 2007?
About 22K.
38) What was your most embarrassing moment of 2007?
Embarrassment is for lesser beings.
39) If you could go back in time to any moment of 2006 and change it, what would it be?

I think a joint effort between myself and Donna. Denise in those rare moments she stops giving a shit.
49)Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Hmmmmmmmm. Many, many people. I wouldn't say appalled because I've come to expect that most people are worthless. Anyone who tries to create a scene. Especially in public.
50)What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Starting college and realising that first year at least is a piece of piss.
51)Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier as I'm more stable.

Again with the extreme emotions. I don't feel them anymore.

| What was I thinking when? |
[Nov. 29th, 2007|05:00 pm] |
Very apt, todays writer's block. I'm wondering why, oh why did I return to Wexford. I'm now living in a lovely little house with a girl who just told me she's pregnant. So guess who's going to be the one who has to move? A three bed house, with parking and garden and in town centre, oh and rent controlled. Who's going to stay? The family or the homo. Answers on a postcard please.....
In other news, I haven't been going to college at all, I haven't been sleeping at all. I'm barely eating at all. I'm back playing badminton, my muscles ache, probably cause I don't eat or exercise, I'm returning to work next week to work more shifts and have less time cause I need the money. I'm probably going to flunk college, my life is closing rapidly around me and what am I doing? Playing fucking Neopets!!!!!
I've hit puberty again by the looks of it. |

| Two weeks off the booze.... |
[Nov. 18th, 2007|02:11 pm] |
Off the booze for a while, I'ld like to think it's for November, but I've things coming up I'ld like to have a few pints for,. Deleted my Bebo account, don't really see the point in it anymore, it distracts me from proper journalling and it's really quite shit (in my opinion, don't fucking sue me!)
House is still in bits, got the floor down the furniture hasn't arrived, the electrician hasn't arrived, and I haven't done any cleaning for about a week.
This sober thing is startingto affect my brain, thinking about sitting my dance teachers exams, like I don't have enough to be doin with college and work >>>> cue mental breakdown.
Haven't had a shag for nearly six months now, really quite bizarre, don't even feel like a gay man anymore, just kinda floating along, should really do something about that...
Still passing my assignments, he he, they ain't found out I'm a fraud yet..
Getting an extra shift in work from now on, which is great, need the cash, I'm on the breadline at the moment, should really give up the fags. Need to buy myself another bookcase and a desk, hate the curtains in my room, need to clear my overdraft and credit union. Ugh money. Devil! |

| Still in College |
[Nov. 7th, 2007|10:40 pm] |
Like how amazing is that? I'm still in college,got a bit wobbly there a few days ago, but there, passing assignments( fucking bastard IT grrrrrrrrrrrr), passing tests, not worried about the next ones, living in a house with bits of floor missing, dodgy electrics and no furniture in the sitting room. Yep I'm officially a student!
Missing most of last weekend, It involved Neil Delamerre, Getting Drunk,Stumbling home, going to work, stumbling home drunk again, getting drunk and getting drunk again. Four times in one weekend. Wow, more substances sheog, less alcohol.
Thought I learned that lesson years ago. |

How would you describe your personal style?
Failing anything depressing happening in my life, (I only seem to LJ when I'm pissed off) I'm going to do the odd writer's block. Since I'm in college now, finances are a major factor. Right now I'm wearing white Fila runners I got for going to the gym with Mike, also known as Mike the Cunt. Blue Topman jeans, faded, bought on sale in January this year. Black belt I got this week in Topman, 80cent cheaper cause of my stoodent discount, red tshirt I got in Amsterdam this summer in a leather store and a yellow and grey striped hoody I inherited off Tony last Xmas when he went off the wall and stayed with me.
So broke, cheap, gay and stoodenty is probably how I would describe my style...
In other news I'm sick and plan on doing nothing for the next few days. |

| Feels so good |
[Oct. 16th, 2007|10:46 pm] |
I'm tired but happy, broke but happy, two things I never liked being and the one thing I always wanted. A year ago, I was in a shit job planning an escape to Manchester that I knew wasn't going to work out. Now I'm in college, i've got three assignments due next week, one is finished, one is fully researched - half wrote and the other is 80% researched - half wrote. I've flown through my first two continuous assesments, 100 and 85%, confident in my test on Friday and confident that I'll be ready for Monday's.
Had a crap coffee today, sat outside a cafe sipping it thinking that the service was lovely. Bizarre...
And in Sims news, they're all tramps.... Pleasantville is soon to be heavily repopulated.... |

Such a long time since an update so time for a big one.....
Had a blast in Amsterdam, clubbing, shopping, hanging with Andrea. T'was quite nice.
Got severely crippled with a dose of Hepatitis A, that's the non lethal one that goes away so it's not too bad, but it happened while I had friends over from holland. I'm still not fully recovered but vitamin supplements and milk thistle is doing it's job well.
Missed Electric Picnic, due to said bastard illness, third year running.... bah!
Started college, which is pretty okay so far, just looking forward to getting stuck in properly, induction is boring me rigid.
Been having crazy dreams about being on a winning Wexford GAA All-Ireland side. Very odd, me playing football and Wexford winning an All-Ireland.
Pesky laptop broke, more expense on top of my college fees and flat deposit.
Back working in the Wren's Nest, nice handy number. Getting on great, working loads to pay for afforementioned outgoings. Staff and customers are okay, lots of late nights since I started as the camogie ladies won the All-Ireland.
Ment to be going to a stag for an old school mate in a few weeks, don't know if my liver will be up for it though... |

| Accepted |

Got in, Got in, Got in. I'm going to train to be a corporate whore. Four years of Wexford, anti-depressants and no sex await. It will be worth it, fucking better be! |

| Magic: The Return |
[Jun. 30th, 2007|11:15 pm] |
|
I recently started back playing Magic with the intention of competing at national level next year, I've been attending tournaments down in Waterford and doing pretty well while trying to deal with limited card stock and not knowing much about the game currently. The first tournament I kinda fluked, I just bought a pre-sealed deck on the day and altered it slightly, Red/Green Beatdown, I came fourth out of 10, but I had one concede as he had to leave, 2 wins and 2 losses. Today though I done really well.... Mono Black Discard, I scored 2-0, 2-0, 2-0, 1-2, 1-2. I finished third, but lost my four matches from drawing no land. My own fault though, I didn't have enough in. 21 lands in 60 cards is not enough. But still I'm quite chuffed. Sinead finished 6th so she was happy enough also. Good day all in all. |

| Garden Party |
[Jun. 11th, 2007|08:14 pm] |
|
Garden Party was fantastic!Highlights were beer, not working, conversations about plastic surgery, getting breakfast the next day (the people on the next table actually rang in a request on the radio for their saturday night), talking to random people, sleeping in a car, dancing at four in the afternoon like a lunatic, running into Ealain, running into Willie, blagging my way in everywhere with my staff pass, not falling unconcious, not vomiting and the best taco ever! |
|
|
| Relaxing |
[May. 20th, 2007|04:13 pm] |
Just in Waterford after having a very relaxing weekend getting my inner nerd back working, few games of Magic, few new cards, didn't get my covers hmphhh.....
Played the Settlers of Catan which I have always wanted to play (highly recommend whether your a gamer or not, lots of sheep to go around)
Think I'll start popping down here more often, nice and relaxed at the moment, just need to get a case for my army (got more knight models for my brettonians) |

| Sister Act |
[Apr. 1st, 2007|01:49 pm] |
I'm a bit amazed from the General reaction in media and myspace/ bebo/ livejournal users over the Galway Sister Act controversy.
In a piece from the Irish Times Jeff Rockett is quoted as saying
"Six months of hard work, all for nothing. Cast and crew had given up their weekends and any spare time to rehearse and promote the play," he said. "They are simply in disbelief that something they have poured their hearts and souls into has been destroyed by an organization that has brought joy to many of them in their younger years."
Six months is a long time.... why were Disney not informed or approached by Gigsoc?
Did they think they were above small matters such as copyright?? It's appalling that Disney is made out to be the bad guy in this matter. Disney has a staff of thousands in it's theme parks, studios and distribution areas and has a responsibility to it's staff to guard their livelihoods by guarding the copyright on all areas. These channels have to be observed and followed through by everyone even college groups, gay societys and youth groups. Disney was 100% correct to slap a ban on this show as it takes away from all the groups in Ireland who put on productions yearly using thier own ideas and intelligence or who have the common courtesy and manners to ask for permission to use, no matter how 'loosely' other peoples intellectual property. I would also be very interested in seeing how 'loosely' the script is actually based.
I have also despite many a search been unable to find an apology on the internet to Disney from Gigsoc either on the groups bebo, however on their net page there seems to be a massive distancing of Gigsoc from the play and Jeff. No apology seems to be on offer there either with moral outing dilemmas taking up the page... |
