ah looking at the screen hurts my eyes. so hungover. felt ok when i woke up and decided to go to my lecture but now its kicking in. ah. had about a million drinks last night cos double vodka and redbull was £2. and this place has there own special brand of redbull i think cos when you hold it up to the light it looks green and i think there's alcohol in the redbull as well as the vodka. it was someone's birthday and then the guys from next door wrote all over our flat in chalk and there's water everywhere and agh.

helen

hey all!

ok ive been home but im back a londres....
i have to do my portfolio and i cudnt bring all my crap home (folio, mannequin, sewing machine etc)
so im here and its weird

xxxxxxxxxx

Aideen

I'm back!!! Feels good to be home, and have all my food bought for me! Bron, I went to Lille with my French class, and it was free! We took the Eurostar cos the station it goes from is only 20 mins away, and it took an hour to get there! Quicker than London. Anyway, I sympathise with ya over the work, three projects to work on over Easter. Not good.

Anyway, who wants to meet up for coffee in Belfast on Wednesday? I know all the transport services are on strike tomorrow, so it'll hafta be the next day. Can't wait to see you all!

Annie

thats a common mistake bronagh, i dodnt have a computer in my halls but i find time to go on myspace in the library and anywhere else i can, you should try it next time you want to waste time on the net! its good to be back and just melting in my house in front of the tv. might get old quick though....

bronagh

also, you should watch the constant gardener. watched it last night, is amazing. but really sad as well.

bronagh

people like me who can't afford nice halls, have no internet access and have to go to library to use computers. so not really much point having my space.
am going to try for radiohead tickets tomorrow...fingers crossed...

Annie

also will everyone else who hasnt already hurry up and get a myspace, its the best thing ever!!!! chop chop, also i have a bebo account and yous should register for that to cos you can share and look at photos, its really fun!

Annie

hey ho, im back in bangor, and apparently no one else is? when do you all return? and deborah what happened to lime light on tues, also how was the wedding! i just said bye to my visitors kate and rachel, was good fun, but i need some rest after the mad week i have had, i had mark over for his birthday so i have been out 6 of the last 8 nights, the real question is, will i go out tongiht? only time will telll......and tiredness......and my liver. im really glad that its gonna be summer soon, but its scary how fast this year has gone. dette when i heard about those medical volunteers i was really upset and that so awful its someone you know, i hope he is gonna be okay. i dont have a lot lined up for when im home yet, just need to relax, also my parents are away to sudan to visit my sister so i have a free house till next friday.....yawn.....laters

bronagh

why are you going to France? that's not fair, i wanna go to France!
I Cannot wait for this week to be over as it is work hell. three essays in this week and then french coursework next week. i have to hand in my criminal law essay tomorrow and i haven't even started it. i should have done it last night but instead i decided to get drunk. am feeling well rough today and look it to. went to the gaelic football club party and everyone was wrecked. also ryan hanna and niall morris were there and ryan looked liked he couldn't stand up. knew he was wasted cos his conversation went like this: blagh drink up bronagh blagh blagh you're too sober you could teach me R.E blagh blagh how's mr. kealey? oh dear.
also fell on my arse(again) while dancing to the irish rover. shameful.

Aideen

Well I'm off to France tomorrow morning, can't wait! Then I'm coming back home on Monday, yey!

Dette

debs that last message just about made sense - something about lynching and rugby?!?!
anyway, yeah that guy is a first year, doing some engineering i think. his situations has improved a bit but hes still really ill.
st paddy's nite was a total right-off here cos everything that could have gone wrong did. just made me angry. angry and drunk.
so fecked off with work at the moment - two tests and coursework this week, only starting to properly work today. but yep, the rugby was sweet sweet sweet. also logan, what was that about an eye for an eye robinson??

Debs

was amazing breakfast, bronagh cooked was all good, and beating the english, such a good day, everyone looked so smug and then when we were all cheering they looked like they were about to lynch us. i would have taken a lynching just so i knew that they were abit fucked off. so good.

bronagh

that's so scary. does he go to imperial? my god.
well i hope you all enjoyed st. patrick's day. i couldn't get a giant hat cos they were sold out of them. grr. but me and deborah had potato bread and wheaten bread and bacon and lots. yay potato bread. ah i was so drunk by dinner time. had lots of those baby irish shots. such a bad idea. also who watched the rugby yesterday? so sweet. we watched it in the pub and then all the english people gave us evil looks. ha ha.

Aideen

Yeah, I plan on doing so, got a guinness-shaped hat yesterday from Oxfam so I'm going to go mental!

Also that's really shit about the medical studies, what happened exactly?

Dette

yay that is so much more like the aideen i know. nice one and yeah 2moro, if u wear green and a silly hat, its a surefire way to get loaded.
also guys, if uve been following the news over the past few days u probably heard about the medical studies that went wrong. i just found out yesterday that i know one of those guys, not one of the 2 who are critically ill but hes still in intensive care and had multiple organ failure and serious inflammation. its so awful and hes like the nicest, funniest sweetest guy ever. i just really hope hes going to be ok.
on a lighter note, some idiot left 2 hobs on our cooker all last nite and now the whole bloody cooker is broken. normally i wudnt mind cos all i eat is toast and cereal anyway but todayis the one day i really really need/want a boiled egg. went out and bought eggs specially and everything. grr. but sure, only 8 freeking days til home-coked food, lie ins and transport!!!

Aideen

I just made £11.70 in half an hour busking in the city centre. Yeooo! I was crap too, my fingers were numb as fuck so the notes were all over the place. How cool is that? It's like £23 per hour for playing crappy wee Irish tunes. My friend Celeste says I should go back tonight when everyone's drunk and coming out of the pubs and they'll give me loads of money. So yeah, no McDonalds for me!

I went salsa dancing with my friends Louise and Chloe last night and it was great. We couldn't really salsa but we gave it a go anyway. They were selling sangria (best.drink.ever.) for 50p. 50p!!! Also I love the guy who owns the place, he looks like Beck and Ben Folds mixed together.

dette

yay i think i have recruited just about everyone i know at uni to go out on st paddy's day for mad craic. woo hoo. and someone decided all drinks must be green or begin with the letters g, p or i. also helen and i were in a charity shop the other day and realised that this time last year we were all freeking out cos the coop sprung our coursework on the color purple on us and no-one had started it at all. well except eamon, of course. so strange.
love yas

Annie

hey ho, sorry i havent posted in a while, i havent been away from the computer, in fact i have been completely addicted to myspace and i think anyone who hasn't got it yet should get it immediately!!! and then add me!! so news from glas vegas is that it snowed a hell of a lot at the weekend and snow fun happened, snowball fights and the like. its still really slushy and going uni tomorrow is going to be hell. i cant wait till this week is over because i have 2 essas in and then its st patrick's day celebration and manys a visitor to glasgow. in other news i have started seeing someone! more on tha story as it happens.....anyways i am bringing two anglais visitors home wth me to bangor, rachel and kate on the 21st till the friday, so if anyone is back we can party it up! limelight tuesday! no other news goi down in glasgow, except i think im going to see 2manydjs, should be good! laters.....

bronagh

logan? where the feck are you?
i've found an english version of mark, pretty much the same in mannerisms and sort of similar looking except he's english. he's also called mark. agh confusion.
also aideen you love mcdonald's, i distinctly remember you requesting me and annie buy you a mcchicken premier when we went round to your house once.
went to see memoirs of a geisha the other day. finally! was good and nice to watch but no where near as good as the book. also they should have just made it in japanese with subtitles. so stupid.

Aideen

I know, I know! Well I've decided not to sell my soul for a McJob, cos McDonalds sucks. But Starbucks ain't so bad! They sell a lot of fairtrade stuff, and I've never heard anything bad about them (apart from the fact that they're taking customers away from small business). Let me off the hook!

confused dette

aideen how can u possibly be campaigning for the rise in sales of fair trade clothing and be applying for jobs in starbucks and mc donalds? those two companies pretty much defined globalisation and it is almost purely because of them that there is no fair trade! whatever happened to the days were you shouted at us for eating nestle products? okay so for something slightly different but same principal. clearly some alien spaceship has landed in canterbury and stolen aideen, and replaced her with a plan to encourage globalisation and then take over the earth. or maybe im just picking bones cos im looking desperately for an excuse not to revise for my exam 2moro. you decide.

also, louise, alex was a prick - all he did was winge and im glad hes gone. he lied to susan, to his kids and threw that girl with the weird name out of his house (also shes freeking chinese and no one else in her family is - its so neighbours). he also dumped his kids on susan and from beyond the grave will cause hassle, so ive heard on the grapevine. however, we were also having a poll recently - if you got to meet 5 neighbours members, who would they be? one of the people i asked replied:
1) Dylon
2)Dylon
3)Dylon
4)Dylon
5)Dylon (purely because he looks like a horse)

i think:
1) tody
2) max - hes gotta be up there
3) stinger
4) janelle
5)connor - mon the belfast

oh and the criteria is that they have to appear in the opening credits and still be alive and currently be in the show (eg not joe mangle)

Aideen

Louise, her name's Holly. Haven't spoken to her in a while, last thing I heard she was a bit of a crack-head.

I have a French exam on St. Patrick's day too! Life sucks.

I really need to get another job. The oxfam I work at is closing down this week so I'll have a bit more time on my hands, so I'm going to fill out a few applications. Debating whether or not to go to McDonalds...anyway, I had an interview for Starbucks the other day, and they said I was just the kind of person they like to employ but that they're looking for full time staff at the moment. But they're going to keep my details on file so that if anything comes up they'll call me. Yey!!!

Louise

Bronagh, don't diss Loose Women, its brilliant, although it does clash with Neighbours which is annoying. And oh my goodness, how sad was Neighbours last week with Alex dying, it made me cry bucketloads, and then watched Home and Away and Flynn's dying of cancer too!- oh the drama. Aideen, they were showing all the fairtrade clothes on This Morning, they looked really lovely. And Matthew, where are you, have you fallen off the end of the world, i actually don't think i've seen you since we left school! Oh and finally, finally, Aideen whats the first name of your friend who's surname's Dunne, her sister's slutty Emily, cause she's goin out with a Cafolla, Debs and Matthew are probably the only one's who know who i'm talking about- you know Francesca Cafolla's brother- but i walked past them and was like oh my goodness it her and him (couldn't remember names). Anyway, see ya's all soon, and i have to meet up with ya's cause i somehow didn't get to at Christmas

bronagh

hey, i'm going home on 1st april, coming back to manc. on 24th. so only back for 3 weeks. what's everyone getting up to then for st. paddy's day. i have a french exam. grr. but its at 12 and only for an hour. i was trying to tell my french teacher that's it's a day of religious observance and you have to go to a big giant long mass but he said that going to the pub wasn't an excuse. so grr. again. nothing much else really, lot of work today, which i feel is really pointless cos half of it won't even be marked cos half the lecturers are on the AUT strike. so what's the point? also loose women is the worst show ever to be on tv, closely followed by brainteaser and quizmania.

Debs

hey im home on the 1st of april. we seem to finish so much later than everyone else so annoying. anywhos ive not much to say as ive never got much to say on the blog, maybe becuase im just not good talking to people who im not sitting face to face with. Maybe its just sad bastard syndrome, you know actually enjoying doing ironing, and happy to get up and watch morning telly(itv not channel 4) with a a cup of tea.

dette

aideen im really sry but i fly home before that - on the 24th so i cant mind ur luggage. so much work this week its mental but sure. when is everyone home at easter?

Aideen

Hey there, don't have time to write a full message cos I have shitloads of French work to do for tomorrow, just wanted to say to you Lahn-dahn dwellahs that Topshop on Oxford St are featuring clothes by the People Tree for one month only - like from now until April 5th or something. People Tree is a fairtrade company which sells really nice fairly-traded organicly farmed clothing, and they're only doing it for like a month so you should go down and buy something - anything - to increase the sales and show Topshop that it's a good thing and people will buy fairtrade. I'm going on a bit of a shopping spree there myself just before I fly home for Easter, but I need somewhere to leave my suitcase while I cruise the high street! Dette, will you be around on the 27th March? If not don't worry, but if you are can I drop my stuff off at your house for an hour or so while I go buy stuff and then pick it up before I fly home?

Also happy birthday Matt, keep it real.

Mark

helen myspace wat... myspace... yea myspace..its pure genius add me www.myspace.com/stars4cctv

dette

okay matt sorry we forgot but... it was the 2nd of feb when u last left a message on the blog. whats happening? whatcha doing with urself? have u decided to join us and subconscioulsy lose ur accent in a sea of guv'nors and 'penny for the missus's? ie come to london? sorry ive been up since 4:45 this morning - slightly mad

Matthew

thanks all all the birthday well wishing :(

deborah wins, for being the only one to remember :(

bronagh

that's an outrage helen! how dare they. so yeah, it's a pretty shit week. have just been speaking to my mum lots to see how things are. they turned the ventilator off on tuesday afternoon and they're going to have an immediate family funeral which is best. its so shocking.
i think i tried to get on my space before helen and i couldn't get on to the people from our school's pictures cos i wanted to laugh at 'shells'. ah well.

p.s i have a babyshambles poster signed by pete doherty but he couldn't write bronagh, so it says to bronigh and then he tried to change the n to an a so it looks a bit confusing. too drunk/high/stoned to write anything probably.

helen

ok i know u all prob hate the idea of MY SPACE cos it is a big waste of time etc etc BUT u should al get it cos its a really good way of keeping in contact

please get it

please

helen
