€7 to get to college???!

Believe or believe it not, my journey to college cost me a staggering €7.00!!! Unbelivable, I know-even Eileen doesn't charge that much! So heres how it happened. It rained and it rained, it poured and poured, so I went out with my brolly, and waited for the ole reliable (thats the 75 to you non bus people) and when I say I waited, I mean I WAITED. It lashed down, and I had been at the bus stop for 25minutes, when (against my charcter...I....gave....up) I went home, with my head hanging down. I got the phone and rang the taxi firm and requested a taxi ASAP! So asap, a hackney driver turned up. I got into the cab and said 'Stillorgan please' (where I could get the REAL ole reliable-the 46A). During the 5minute journey, the taxi driver made me feel stupid by asking and quizzing me with all these stupid riddles (which I succeeded in getting all wrong) - like this one-


"YOU BUILD 100 HOUSES AND HAVE TO PAINT THE NUMBERS ON. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO PAINT THE NUMBER 9???


Yeah, I got it wrong and felt like and idiot...oh well, nice taxi driver all the same. (The answer is not 11 by the way!) So the jokes and the journey all in all cost me €7.00, I was bitter parting with that tenner. And that is why I am determined to get my own back on Dublin bus. I think I'll pay my fares in cents from now on, only I'll shortchange them by one cent each time, yeah then they'll be sorry.....muahahahahahahahAHAHAHHAHAHA!

This Biawtch is back!

It looks as though I have lazily abandoned my msn space, but alas this is not true, so you can all put away the crossword puzzles, jig-saws, wordsearches, I HAVE RETURNED to entertain your otherwise mundane lives. 'Where did you go?' I hear you cry, well lets just say, we all deserve a week in a country spa to relax, unwind and recharge! But a special thanx go out to Titch and Hel who came and joined me in the 'ole ranch for an evening! Much appreciated guys! So since I have been away I have nothing new to report or blog about. I guess I'll leave you with a random website link, so CLICK HERE if you have nothing else to do.... which as I discovered with my last blog, you probably dont.......

Feeling like a cow
______________

Ok so its been a while since I last updated, a reflection on my busy social life....ok a reflection on how lazy I am, -sigh-. But hey, better late then never, right? -sigh-. Well here goes, rather short, but better short then not...at....NEVER MIND.

WARNING: THIS STORY IS BORING._DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE NO LIFE AND THUS YOUR SOCIAL LIFE IS ABISSMAL!!!!!!

Well, as some/most/all of you know, Im going away to disney. So in order to book this exciting, not quite once in a lifetime trip, I had to pay a visit to the travel agent. In order to insure I did not get screwed over, my dad came with.I decided to book the trip as a package holiday as it means less is likely to go wrong! (touch wood! ) Now, the ladies/agents in this travel agency were most helpful and friendly, and I really highly recommend them. (Thats First Choice travel on the green ) So we went in and sat down and a most friendly First Choice agent greeted us. My dad did the talking and said 'Hi, we're looking for a trip to disney for this lady here' (referring to yours truely aka moi). So she looks over to me and says 'Oh very nice' and WINKED at me. My initial reaction to this wink was like 'Oh great, another person who thinks I'm like 14!' So my dad continues, 'Yes she was hoping for the bank holiday weekend' and she replies to me 'Oh very good' and then she WINKED, AGAIN! 'Who does she think she is talking to, a twelve year old??' I thought. So the lady, who I shall not name, produced some brochures and worked out figures and then said 'Right, here is option one, which is cheaper then the other ones' She looks at me and WINKS. 'OK, why is she winking at me, I WISH she would stop!!!' I thought.
-Now I could continue the story with in depth details of our conversation, but quite frankly, I cant remember all what we discussed word for word, and I would absolutely hate to miss-quote somebody. So the jist of it is, is that she talked,she winked, I listened and thought. Blah blah blah blah...
UNTIL

We came to the part where she had to ring some other agent to discuss the booking, and while she was talking on the phone, she continued winking-at no person in particular. She flicked through brochures and continued winking; she even wrote out figures and continued to bloody wink. Then it dawned on me, she wasn't WINKING at me , she wasnt winking because she thought I was a child or because she wanted to. She had some sort of twitch which made her wink involuntary. This First Choice lady was sooo kind and so polite and friendly, and as I sat there realising that I had judged her as a freak because she was winking at me, I felt like an absolute cow. I am one who always tells others NOT TO JUDGE, and so was being a big fat (skinny) hypocrite. And i felt so ashamed. Luckily my shame is easing..and so I am able to write about it now. -sigh-

The conclusion: So now all of you who read this, know that I too am human. As kind, generous, giving, caring, friendly, pretty, smart, intelligant, and overall cool as I am, I too let the mask slip occaisionly. If you did make it this far down the page, then you are a LOSER and Eileen i just KNOW that you did.(Sorry I had to get the name in there-it just wouldnt be a blog without) So the moral of this never ending drone:
DON'T EVER READ MY BLOGS AGAIN, THEY ARE POINTLESS! Ah no, joking, the real moral is DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE, PEOPLE!
