summer girl search continues?
2007-08-08 23:47:00 Theres that buzz, the inability to think about anything else, wanting to do lots of nice things; trips to the beach, sip cocktails - its all there, but i’ll be damned if it ever did any good.

feile ?07 - welcome to free music derry
2007-08-02 01:52:00 Just another fantastic weekend to make the week days appear so extremely dull - even though they aren’t that bad. The decision was made last Thursday to accept a kind offer to stay with someone I hadn’t met in a city I hadn’t been to in 19 months, even though my funds where very low. I’m ...

birthday awesomeness weekend
2007-07-17 02:01:00 What craziness. An awesomely fun-filled birthday weekend that was.

Having slept on a friend’s sofa, I awoke and left the house at 6:30am. On my walk ... More About: Weekend , Birthday , Some

2007-07-08 02:13:00 And so it’s that time of year again. It is indeed nearing the Twelfth of July ; Marching Season is fully upon us. I am in no way politically minded.

listen to kitty and the can openers!
2007-06-22 22:26:00 The longest day of the year, and indeed the brightest and warmest of this week. Coincidence? I call conspiracy. Global warming, daylight savings time? Its the government trying to make us think they’re smart by making up these crazy ideas that no one really understands. I mean, does anyone really understand the whole daylight savings ...

just be yourself
2007-06-03 01:50:00 One shouldn’t be allowed to look inside themselves so intensely as that. It was crazy. I didn’t know whether I was coming or going. It has made me quite confused. I began to see in every aspect of my life dissected; seeing through myself and how strange I am. As the feeling begins to fade ... More About: Be Yourself

daytrippin? - helen?s bay
2007-05-27 04:37:00 Yesterday I got my wish. I went to the beach. This has been going on for a good few weeks now - months even - a desire to see other parts of Northern Ireland.

2007-05-26 04:47:00 Who would possibly refuse an opportunity to go to the beach? When mentioned generally you wouldn’t, would you? Okay so normally the question refers to a beautiful sandy beach in the south of France, or Spain, or maybe Italy, just generally somewhere that people often go for a holiday. Definitely not Northern Ireland. Of course I ... More About: Water
hide and seek
2007-05-23 23:02:00 I’ve bought a nice new lens, something most people would consider essential when my only lens at the minute is a fixed focal length (no zoom) 50mm. It is a great lens which I have had lots of fun with in the last 2 weeks and the f1.8 aperture works wonders, though it’s definitely not ... More About: Seek , Hide

trackback spam
2007-04-19 10:42:00 I’ve been getting a lot of trackback spam lately. I suppose it could be worse, but it’s only started happening quite recently. I really wasn’t sure what it was at first. I know now that it’s spam. Though it just seems like people are making blogs and filling them with other peoples posts. No advertising ... More About: Spam , Back , Track , Rack , Trackback

2007-04-18 21:05:00 My house’s electricity bill is controlled by a pay & go system. Using a card which is swiped in the shop and when a minimum of £5 is handed over we get electricity. Nice and simple. For the last 2 days there has been no electricity. Fortunately I had nothing in the fridge or freezer. I ... More About: Energy

2007-04-14 18:06:00 I am certain that if I lived in a hot climate I would use the Internet/computer very little. Over the past week I have been online very little. It isn’t very often that I take such breaks. I spent Saturday until Tuesday at my grandparents’ house. I saw this as an opportunity to spent some time away ...

youtube tuesday march 27th 2007 (until i think of a better title)
2007-03-28 00:52:00 videos are great. Thanks to (mainly) youtube, the internet is full of them.
