My coolest uncle, practically a big brother to me, is soon moving to Canada! To say he'll be missed is a huge understatement! However no matter how far away he goes I know he'll only ever be a phone call away and through the years the best advice I've got can all be sourced to him! You're awesome gar, and I'd never forget ya or not be thankful for you! Thanks for reading my blog!

TGI Blog Time...
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Not usually a holiday I would have celebrated, but this year the gang are heading to The Woolshed for some Thanksgiving dinner and festivities. It got me thinking... what am I thankful for...?- My Mam, Dad and 2 Awesome Sisters.
- My Wonderful Boyfriend
- My Amazing Friends
- Bed
- Food
- Good TV
- Comfy Tracksuit Bottoms
- Weekly Bus Tickets
- Having all my Christmas Shopping bought and wrapped
- Having a job and income
- The opportunities I get in college
- Free Texts with o2
- Gmail colour coded labels!!
- A nice refreshing shower
- The people who take the time to read my blog... its more rewarding than you'd imagine!
- ........
The list goes on, varying from cheese-tastic 'I'd like to thank God'... to 'I love lamps!'
Thankfully,

Mr. Dublin Bus's 'Believe it or Not'
I get the bus to college most mornings and home again most evenings. It has lead me to bear witness to the most unusual and shocking and funny events. Just thought I'd share a few.
On days when I happen to be iPod-less (sniff sniff) I always end up being amused in other ways......

This one time on Dublin Bus.... a teenage girl got on and sat in the priority seat. now thats all fine when its not needed, but then at the next stop a disabled person got on the bus, and went towards the priority seat, fully expecting to get offered it. but NO, the girl stubbornly sat there, ignoring him for the whole journey, while everyone else on the bus (I'm sure) sat staring in disgust!!

This one time on Dublin Bus....a guy and gal sat down behind me and i encountered the most blatant flirting in the world. the lad was boasting to this lassy how awesome he is at betting. he explained how he bets on American Football, a sport I happen to know a good bit about... a hell of a lot more than this particular sir. Listening to someone explain a sport that they have no clue about , to someone who also has no clue about it, is something i can only describe as HILARIOUS, i was just short of turning around and correcting him... but I'm no cock-blocker :P

This one time on Dublin Bus.... i was waiting to get off at my stop and this gangster-clad guy stood infront of me. his ear plugs were in and i assumed (a bad idea i know) that he was listening to heavy metal or rap... but nope... on closer listening... it was infact ADELE's 'Someone Like You'!!! You cant make this stuff up :P

There are oh so many more stories....
Share yours in my comment space below!!

Hello.... Is It Me You're Looking For..?
Sorry it's been so long!
So what's been happening you ask???
Well I'm just back from London, went over for the weekend to visit my lil sis, and wow... what a time we had... and I mean that in BOTH a good and bad way. Lets start with the good news....
1. Mr. Ripleys 'Believe it or Not' is INCREDIBLE.... very entertaining and great value for money. Brilliant if you have 2 or so hours to kill in the city.
2. Stumbled Upon the Hummingbird Bakery, (I had the cookbook.... AMAZING cupcakes) and had a yummy chocolate malt muffin with malteser topping.
3. Ate in some pretty awesome grub-hubs.... Wagamamas, Pizza Express, Haagen Dazs (nom) and Frank&Bennies.
4. Saw 'Breaking Dawn Part 1'.
and now for the not so happy news.....
1. Used 'Top Secret Hotels' on Lastminute.com and were EXTREMELY let down. Between having to move hotels, move rooms, and a dodgy pigeon nest as a bathroom neighbour...... not so hot!
3. Microwave popcorn is IMPOSSIBLE to find in London! I mean..COME ON! :(
Disgruntled, but sure ... feck it!

Out of Context... I'm A "Slob!"
Since college has started back I've appreciated the 'non-uniform' element more than ever. from time to time it is difficult to find new and different things to wear, but at the end of the day, no matter what the outfit, its bound to be more comfortable than a shirt and tie.
It became apparent to me a few days ago that the 'Student Look' is only really acceptable in and around the college campus. Picture this: Should you take a student out of their natural habitat and place them in say, a fancy restaurant, we all of a sudden look disheveled lazy and unkempt. however, place us right back in the student union and we blend in nicely, and look somewhat stylish.
I wouldn't say that I'm a self conscious person, not when it comes to my body or appearance, but this is not to say that I don't sometimes like or need the odd compliment to make me feel pretty or that I don't get jealous of other girls that are clearly prettier or sexier.
At the end of the day, all I care about is my comfort. I have the ability to 'clean up' well when the occasion requires it, but I ain't afraid to go out 'unmasked'. In fact my skin is an awful lot clearer for it. I recommend it! :)
Comfortably,

(everyone's the same ^^^ )
I always dress for comfort over any other factor. While I still take pride in my appearance, my outfit decision always ultimately surrenders to the comfiness! Having gone to an all girls secondary school I never felt it necessary to impress people with my appearance, so i never wore make up to school. As a result of this, I feel a lot more confident leaving the house without make up on, no matter where I'm going or who I'm going to see. don't get me wrong I still LOVE slapping on some foundation and getting all glamorous from time to time, but I know for some, not wearing makeup on a day to day basis, is a major 'no-no'.I wouldn't say that I'm a self conscious person, not when it comes to my body or appearance, but this is not to say that I don't sometimes like or need the odd compliment to make me feel pretty or that I don't get jealous of other girls that are clearly prettier or sexier.
