August 8th 2012

Today I went down to the back with my mam to put €50 from my birthday money because I got a letter from the Bank of Ireland a few days ago saying that I haven't used my account in ages and that if I activated my account again (put money in it), I would receive 2 free cinema tickets in the post within 2 months. I thought that was good but they were kind of bribing young people with free cinema tickets if they opened their accounts again. I didn't care, FREE TICKETS!!! I love things that are free. I already knew what the tickets were going to be used for. I was going to take Brian to the cinema in Liffey Valley to see The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II which is the last of the Twilight movies. I couldn't wait and Brian got the exact same letter so I knew that when he came home, I would tell him to put even €10 and then he would get free tickets too.

 I think for the rest of the day I hung out with Rachel and Amanda in Katie's house because she was back home from Portugal. For the night we just went on her computer and had some girly fun <3

August 7th 2012

Today I planned to go out to Alex, I met up with her at the playground or something and then we went to Daybreak down at "Vivo", got some food and then walked back up to the top of her estate and we sat under a tree there and just talked. I was having fun and I was glad that we were back talking again because she is so funny and I can talk to her about anything, she is just that type of person. A little while later we saw Chris Gannon and she invited him over to sit with us, all was good until he took out some cigarettes and started smoking in front of us. I don't think Alex minded but I felt a bit uncomfortable sitting with him. I persevered though :)

About 20 minutes later there was a few young children aged between about 11 and 13 years old that came over to us and said "Do you have any skins?" I didn't know what they were talking about and they left because Chris said no. Skins are apparently the things that you wrap around the tobacco to make a "rollie". I was a taken back because they were so young and they were already smoking. I think it is disgusting and for people so young as 11 years old to be doing it just horrified me that someday my children could be smoking when they're like 8 years old.

At about half 8 I walked home because I was a bit tired. I just went straight to bed at about 9pm but I was woke up by alarms and I looked out my window and my estate was in darkness because the electricity went. It was scary and I couldn't even turn my light on and I was just had to go back to bed and try go back to sleep which I couldn't because there was about 200 alarms going off and dogs barking out back garden's but I was happy to know that when I woke up the electricity was back. Phewww!!!

Today I did absolutely nothing. :3


August 5th 2012

Today Brian went to Spain and I was upset that I wasn't going to be able to see him everyday and talk to him everyday. My family had planned to go on a car drive up to Northern Ireland to go to The Giant's Causeway. I thought it would be fun so I decided to go too. It was a long drive though and my mam was showing us where the border was, the only way we knew that we were in Northern Ireland was the colour of the road lines were different. When we got there and paid and stuff, we went in and we had these talking phone things that explained like the history part of the tour. We walked down a steep hill, took some pictures and then went over to the famous "Giant's Causeway". There was about 300 hundred people on it so we just took our time because we weren't in a rush. I thought it was really cool and I was enjoying myself and we were standing out on the walkway and we took loads of pictures and then we started walking up the mountain, I thought we just came her to look at the famous landmark and then leave. NO!!! We started hiking up the mountain which took about 1 hour and I felt at one point that my heart was going to jump out of my body. We made it to the top with great difficulty and then we walked over to the edge of the cliff and had a look and then took loads more photos.

My dad had a good idea for a picture, he got my mam to lie down on the edge of the cliff so he could get the giant's causeway in the background, then he said "Can you move back a bit?". My mam did and then it registered in the brain that she was on the edge of the cliff and they both started laughing, then we all did and the other people that were on the cliff with us. Here is that picture below and more of the pictures we took that day. 


 








When we were finished hiking up mountains, we went back to the center and had a look in the exhibition which was really interesting and we looked in the shop and then walked back to the car and had some of the food which my mam packed for us. We had some nice rolls, cakes and crisps because we were starving from using all our energy on the hike. It was a good day anyway but I don't think I would be able to do that ever again because it was too much for me.

August 4th 2012

Today it was Brian's last day before he went on his holidays to Spain. I woke up and went on the computer and just went on YouTube and Facebook. A little while later my mam and dad came into me and said they were going to Argos to bring Dean's television back because the DVD part of it didn't work so when they found the receipt they left. About an hour later they came back with a brand new television, I was a bit shocked because Dean's television was a small 16" for €125 bit the new one was a 22" for €189 but it was reduced to €115. They also got a €10 voucher for Argos so it was a good deal.
I stayed in for most of the day because Brian was packing so we just decided to go out in the evening. I just really listened to music in my room and went on the internet until about 7pm.

Brian knocked for me at 7pm and then we walked up to Brian's estate and we were going to hang out with his friends but hey told Brian to hang out with me on his last day. I got really emotional and started crying. Brian came over and hugged me and tried to get me to stop crying. We walked around Celbridge for the rest of the day and just talked. I didn't want him to go because I couldn't bare not to be near him. We walked down to Tesco and then we walked through Vanessa Lawns and out the other side. I broke down about 3 times on the way and I couldn't stop crying but Brian held me and squeezed me really tight until I stopped crying. Brian said that he would text me before he gets on the plane and when he lands in Spain so I was happy. We he left me at my house I started to cry again and when I went into my house I just went to bed and cried myself to sleep :(

August 3rd 2012

Today me and Brian planned to spend the day together. When I went up to his house, his mam said that he was out with his friends. I was a bit confused because I wanted to spend the day with him but he wanted to spend the last few days with his friends and gorgeous girlfriend :P

I understood that but I was upset because I really wanted him to hang out with me. I started getting angry so I decided to walk off and cool down. About an hour later Brian and his friends came to Brian's house where I was sitting and made me cheer up. Brian's friends walked back to the little green and Brian stayed with me and we made up, we kissed a good few times, he said sorry and we went into his house. We stayed there for a few hours and then we went back out to his friends. We were only outside for about an hour because it was time to go home for me.

August 2nd 2012

Today Brian knocked for me at about 2pm and I had planned for us to spend the day at Castletown and bring food and have a nice day out just relaxing and having fun. He and I walked down to Tesco and we got some drinks and a pack of Haribo's and we walked down to the village and up to the post office because he needed to get his holiday money out and post some letters after he put the stamps on them. We started to walk up to Castletown and then went out to the back lawns. We found a nice place to sit and we sat on the 2 blankets which I brought. We started eating and drinking our food and we just relaxed for about 5 minutes. Brian then had a phone-call from his mam and she was giving out to him because he didn't bring his holiday money home straight after he got it and she was furious and she told him to go home straight away and he wasn't allowed to come back out. I was angry and upset that we weren't going to have our day out together but I did feel party responsible because I was the one who said "Bring the money home later, It'll be okay". I felt sad so I just packed up all the stuff I brought and left. I started walking towards main street which was about a 20 minute walk. Me and Brian had a bit of an argument but then we made up and I walked him up to his house. He went in with his money and spoke to his mam and then he came back out and said that he was allowed back out and said that his mam just threatened him because he had all his money with him and she said that people get mugged for €10 let alone €200.
We walked over to the little green and sat on the blankets and listened to music on Brian's phone and took some pictures but then it started raining so we headed back to Brian's house and ended up sitting in the porch and played monopoly. We played it for about 3 hours but I would've won anyway because I had more properties. We then went into Brian's house and had some dinner. I love eating in Brian's house because Karen always knows what I like which is cool. We had chicken goujons and chips with yummy curry sauce. It was much better than vegetables that I would've got at home. After dinner we decided to pack up the game of monopoly and hang out in his house while listening to music and take funny pictures. A little while later we decided to go out and play with a football on the road. It was about 8.45pm and we stayed outside until my dad collected me at 11pm. It was surprisingly warm outside and Brian was working up a sweat because I had him running all over the place. I did kick the ball really high towards him and it went out onto the road. I didn't mean to but Brian ran out after it and kicked it back over. That was a lot of fun and Brian even said that  I was really good at kicking a ball. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 1st 2012

It is officially the first day of Autumn and it is now less than a  month until we go back to school. I will be in 6th year so the pressure is on because my Leaving Certificate is coming up.During the day I hung out with Brian and his friends. While they played football I sat on the grass and watched. Coming into the night when me and Brian came back out after we had dinner, we were going to go to Spar but he got a call from Lee and he said that he wanted to go for a cycle with Brian and Brian really wanted to go so I couldn't stop him so at about 8.30pm Brian walked me to the traffic lights at the boys school and the he walked back. I didn't really mind because he really wanted to go so I just let him.

July 31st 2012

Today I was talking to Alex and she wanted me to go on webcam with her but I didn't want to because I had noticed that on most of my body I had developed some form of red spots which grew overnight basically and they had head on them and looked like chicken pox but I didn't understand why I got them because I got them when I was about 8 years old. I also was trying to think about who I was with that had chicken pox. I told Alex about the red spots and she said that she had the exact same thing. It was a bit weird that we both had it, my mam saw them and then she rolled a glass over the spots. Apparently if they disappear that's good and if they don't then that's bad. 

I  didn't like them because they were sore to touch and I had loads of them underneath my arms which looked like a rash and I couldn't put down my arms properly. I put on loads of cream and body lotions to try make them less sore. I even put on Sudocrem but even that didn't work. It ended up I had to just live with it until it went.

Amanda called me later on in the day and said that she had them too and that she was going to the doctors to see what it was. It ended up Amanda had chicken pox because she never had it before but me and Alex and my mam thought that it was just because there was no chlorine in the hot tub. Amanda said that she couldn't have caught chicken pox in the hot tub because she said the doctor said that you catch chicken pox nearly 12 days before you actually see them. I asked Rachel and Katie and they said that they didn't have anything like that so Amanda was the one with chicken pox and me and Alex were the ones that had the bacterial infection on our bodies. I knew I didn;t have chicken pox because nobody else in my family got anything like that. Later on in the day I think I just went out to Brian.

July 30th 2012

Today all I did was hang out with Brian's friends and Brian obviously :L They usually play football while I sit on the grass and watch. Sometimes Brian sits beside me, other times he doesn't. As usual  me and Brain probably went in an got dinner and just talked and listened to music in his kitchen. My dad collected me at 11pm and I went home and went straight to bed because I was shattered. :L

July 29th 2012

After cleaning all of downstairs and my bedroom I think I went out to Brian. We just hung out with his friends for a little while and then we went into his house for dinner and we watched a movie. Iv'e wanted to see "The Guard" ever since it was released in the cinema. 30 minutes through the movie and I didn't know what it was about. 1hour and 30 minutes through the movie and I still didn't know what the movie was about. The movie was crap but we still watched it and then Brian walked me home afterwards.

July 28th 2012

Today is my sleepover and I woke up with a spring in my step. I was going to get my hair done with Alex at 2pm which was a birthday present from her, so I left the house to meet up with Alex and my family were going to an open day in my dad's job. When I met up with Alex we went in and got straight blow-drys. My hair dresser was really nice and was talking to me about different colleges and my hair looked lovely when I was finished. Alex was done before me and when she went to pay I assumed she was paying for both of us. NO!!!! Apparently when she said that she would take me out and get my hair done, she didn't mean she would pay for it. I was shocked because I was under the impression that it was a present from her. We had to go up to the hairdressers and explain what happened and thy totally understood and we said we would go home and get money and come straight back. I had given my €5 voucher to Alex so she gave me €5. Walking back to my house I was so angry at Alex because she led me to believe that she was paying for both our hairs but no. If I had've known I wouldn't have gone because I could've done my hair by myself. Despite me being so angry and let down by Alex I wasn't going to let it ruin my day. 

We went home and thank god my family weren't there so I would've had to tell them what happened. Ended up I had to break into my birthday money to pay for my so called birthday present. Me and Alex then set of for the hair salon and I went in and ave them the money and apologized for the inconvenience. Me and Alex then set off home and even though I was feeling betrayed by her, I just pushed that to the side.

When we got home, she gave me my presents. She gave me my belly bars and she got me some body lotion, a bath set, a lip-gloss/nail-varnish set and a charm bracelet which is like a fake Pandora bracelet. I really liked them. We then started to get ready by putting on our make-up and fixing our hair. I decided to put on my tights because I wouldn't have been able to put them on with my false nails. When I had them on the doorbell rang and it was Rachel and Katie. It was about 4.30pm and our table was booked for 6pm so we tried not to dilly dally around. Rachel had given me a card and a small gift bag, in it was 2 boxes. One was a lovely necklace and ear-ring set and in the other was a pair of sparkly diamond ball stud ear-rings. I loved them and it was so nice of her. Katie gave me a card with €20. Getting money is just as fine as getting a present because maybe the person doesn't really know what to get the person for their birthday so by giving the person money then they can get something that they would like. All of us were there except for Amanda but her mam was driving us all down to DeMario's so we would just meet up with her in the car. We were all getting ready and Rachel was helping me put on my false nails.After that I got my bag ready and then slipped into my gorgeous dress. It was only about 5.40pm so we decided to take some pictures of the group and then we took some individual pictures. We all looked pretty and my mam was there too to lend a hand whether it was doing someones hair or doing someones make-up. I made sure I had my money and the camera. My mam told Alex to bring my cake with her and give it to the waiter.


When we got there and we went in we were ushered to a table at the end of the restaurant. I had never been to DeMario's before and I thought it was small but nice. Our waiter brought us some coke's and a jug of water. We took some pictures and then we ordered. I had chicken nuggets and chips, Amanda got the Margarita pizza and Alex, Rachel and Katie had the pasta. We were all enjoying ourselves and we all enjoyed our meals. When we were finished we ordered some ice cream and the the waiter brought out my cake and everyone sang "Happy Birthday". We chose not to eat the cake there but to bring it home and eat it there. When we were all done, I paid the bill which was €50 on the dot and then we walked to Tesco car park and about 20 minutes later my mam collected us. I was in the front and Alex, Amanda and Katie were sitting in the back with Rachel lying across them. 


When we got home I showed all my friends the conservatory and they loved it so we took some more pictures, this time with Amanda and then we went out to eat some food and dance to some banging tunes. We then decided to go into the hot tub so we went upstairs to get changed into our bikini's. Amanda and Katie went around to Amanda's house to get her bikini so me, Rachel and Alex got in the hot tub. After 3 hours of all of us messing in the hot tub and talking and having fun all was going good until Rachel said she didn't feel like she could stay over because she freaks out in other people's houses at night. We all tried to get her to stay and the party completely turned into everybody making sure Rachel was okay and making her stay so I felt like my party gone from being all about me to all about Rachel. I felt hurt because we got her to stay and the had her mam come to collect her and then she said she would stay and the she kept on switching and I wasn't enjoying the night at all. I'll admit it I was pissed off and I really wanted all of my friends to be with me at my party and I really felt bad because she wouldn't spend 1 night in her friends house with her other friends having fun. 

In the end I got upset and told her to go so I had a sleepover with Amanda, Katie and Alex instead. I had great fun and so did they eating my cake and watching television. We had a mattress and loads of cushions on the floor. We were all eating my birthday cake and just lying lying on the floor watching "Mrs Brown's Boys" and just talking. Coming up to about 6am we all went to sleep because we were shattered. It was so bright outside at 6am that you would think that it was 10am. We all got up at like 8.30am and we were all so tired we didn't get up until about 10am. We all got breakfast and sat on the couch watching "Mrs Brown's Boys". All the girls left at about 1pm and then I started cleaning the house.

I started by bringing all the blankets and my mattress upstairs and I put everything in the sitting room back to the way it was. I then moved onto the conservatory. I put the dining room table back in the dining room then I let all the water go out of the palm tree, put the chairs back to their original place, brought my stereo back upstairs and hoovered all downstairs. It took me about 1 hour to clean up but I did promise that I'd clean up after the party because it was my friends and my party so it was only fair for me to clean up after the party.

July 27th 2012

Today I had a lot to do because tomorrow was my party. Last night my mam and Dean showed me what they bought for my party, it was decorations for a Hawaiian theme. They got different wall posters and banners and some flower necklaces too. I thought it was a cool idea. When I woke up I started cleaning around the house. I hoovered the whole house and polished everywhere. Me and my mam drove down to the village and I got some banners and table confetti. Me and my mam drove to Heatons in Maynooth because my mam told me about an inflatable palm tree which was €10 so I decided to get it and I also got 6 flower bracelets too to go with the flower necklaces. When I got back I went out shopping with my mam because I was going to get supplies for my party. We went to Tesco, ALDI and LIDL and we got loads of pizzas, chicken things, wedges, crisps and sweets. In the end my mam didn't want any money for all the food she bought which was really nice because the food just for my party came to about €35.

I could actually feel the excitement brewing inside me because my friends know that all I haev been talking about for months was my party. It was coming up to about 3pm when we started to get the conservatory ready so I helped my mam bring the dining room table out into the conservatory, and on the coffee table that we usually eat dinner off in the sitting room, I put my stereo. I helped my mam put up banners, design the decorations on the table and put up all of the Hawaiian themed decorations including the posters and the palm tree. The palm tree took ages to pump up and you had to put water in the end of it but it looked deadly with the branches and coconuts and all. The room was really starting to look cool and then we started to put glasses and plates on the table. The room looked amazing and all that was missing was food, my friends and some banging tunes. I could not wait until my friends saw the room because I told them that there would be a  table with food on it and a stereo. That's all but now it looked like a beach bar :L  

I also helped my dad clean and fill the hot tub but he didn't put any chlorine in it because then I wouldn't have been able to get in it because of my new piercing. All we had to do was wait for it to heat up. As day went into night I think I hung out with Brian up until 11 but I was wrecked so I was with him in body but not in spirit. He was originally coming to my party but he  would be the only guy there and I would've been with him the whole night and neglected my friends and he wouldn't have been able to sleep over because apparently we behave like rabbits :L  

My 17th Birthday!!!!

Today is my 17th Birthday. I can now legally drive but i've no money so I probably won't be driving until I'm like 20! Usually what happens on birthdays and Christmas is that when we wake up we go into my mam and dads room and then we go downstairs. Not this time because my mam said that she didn't have anything ready so she told me to go have a shower and wash my hair and then go downstairs. I did that anyway and when I went downstairs there was about 10 helium balloons and about 8 normal ones all surrounded this bag and 3 cards. I opened the first one and there was 50 inside, I opened the second card and there was scratch cards and another €50 inside but my mam made it clear that that money was for my dinner party on Saturday. I opened Deans card and there was an "L" key-ring which I thought was cool and then Dean told me to turn the key-ring around an there was €10 hidden behind it. It was nice of him to give some of his own money to me. I looked inside the bag which was really nice and I might even use it in school for my lunch and journal. There was a box and it was a set of "Sex in the City" perfume and body lotions. I really liked it because I didn't have any perfume for weeks and was using my mams.


We all did the scratch cards because our family get them for each other at birthdays and Christmas. Even though it's classed as gambling, me and Dean just find it as a fun game. I won €2 on one and Dean won a FREE card, so at least we won something. My mam and Dean disappeared and then they came back in singing "Happy Birthday" with Dean holding my birthday cake. It was a sponge cake which are always a nice change from chocolate cakes. It had a fuschia pink icing on top of it with blue icing hearts decorated all over it with other decorations. I blew out the candles and my dad took some pictures of me and the cake. It was about 6 inches tall and it looked better than any cake my mam has ever bought me in a shop.

Then my mam brought me into the kitchen and showed me a post on my Facebook page that she posted. I could see other posts from my friends on Facebook all wishing me a happy birthday, I was happy and it didn't seem like I was 17. Like next year I will be an adult and I can't wait. I went up to my bedroom and started getting ready to go out. I didn't want to wear something fancy just something comfy because we would be playing bowling later on. At about 11am we set off for Dublin Ink. When we got there, there was people getting tattoo's in the middle of the shop and some looked like they were in pain including a man who was getting his side tattooed. My parents told the receptionist what I wanted done and then we waited for about 5 minutes and then a woman came out and brought me into a room and made me lie down on a bed with a sheet of paper underneath me. She asked me did I want a pink diamond bar or a blue one. I thought I would only be getting a basic bar nothing fancy but the one I chose was lovely. She spent a few minutes marking with a pen on my belly button where I wanted pierced and then she clamped my skin and then she said "Here we go sweetheart" I just but my tongue really hard and then it was over. Weird thing was I could actually feel the needle going inside me and then she twisted the ball on and showed me. I loved it and it wasn't too sore. She brought me out to my family about 3 minutes later and then went through how you clean it and when you cane change the bars. I was happy and it only cost €25 but my mam and dad made a joke with them if they made it hurt me they would've paid more. 
Awwwhhh what lovely parents I have :P

We then made our way over to Super Dome which is where we love to come and play bowling. I went into the bathroom to have a look at my new body art and I loved the look of it. My mam had paid for 2 hours worth of bowling which was grand. The bowling was great and in the first hour me, my mam and dad got at least one strike but Dean was the only one who didn't get a strike until the very last shot of the game which was his shot and he got a strike, we were all cheering for him. We then went over to the eating area and ordered some chicken nuggets and chips for me and Dean while my mam and dad got some chicken curry and chips and we all got a nice freezing glass of coca cola. After that we just went home. 

I straightened my hair and then I went around to see Amanda at about 5.30pm because I wanted to see how she was and to show her my belly button. She had now moved back up to her bedroom but her leg was still a little swollen. I then went back to my house because it was coming up to 6.30pm and Brian was knocking for me at 7pm. I got home and started getting ready by putting my make-up on and getting dressed. Instead of knocking for me at 7pm, Brian knocked for me at 6.40pm which was really early and I was still in my bedroom in my knickers, hair in a bun with half of my make-up on listening to Nicki Minaj's "Pound the Alarm". My mam and dad just brought him out the back and I tried to get ready as fast as I could but still looking pretty. At about 6.55 I went out the back and we took some pictures and he told me that I looked gorgeous and he gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I have never gotten flowers before but I can see why girls love getting them. I was presented with a big square box and I just said to Brian "So I guess it's not an engagement ring" He chuckled and then I opened it. It was a beautiful pearl necklace with a heart charm on it and a matching bracelet. It truly it beautiful and I think a lot of effort went into the present and he looked happy because I did. Instead of wearing Amanda's necklace, I decided to wear Brian's. We took some more pictures and then when it was coming up to 7.20 we left and headed down to Michelangelo's. 

We had a table booked for 7.30 and when we went in, the waiter brought us to a table beside the window. I had never been in there before and I really liked it. There was some bread on the table which was really nice and while we decided what to order, our waiter got us some cokes. I got the spaghetti bolognese with a side order of garlic bread and Brian got the spaghetti carbonara with a side order of salad. When the waiter brought us our food, there didn't look like the plates were full but I was actually eating mine for about 45 minutes because there was LOADS!!! 

It was so nice and romantic being in the restaurant with Brian and we had never been to a fancy restaurant in our 9 months together. We decided not to get any desserts because when we went back to my house, we would have my lovely birthday cake to eat. In heels we walked back to my house and when we got there we all just went out the back and sat down and ate my birthday cake. We were all out there for about an hour talking and laughing. I then had an idea of us all swallowing helium and seeing who sounds funnier. Me and my family all sucked the helium and we all sounded so funny especially my dad because he said "Mammy did you know I'm gay!" and when he said that even my mam pissed herself laughing because he sounded exactly like Rory from Mrs. Brown's Boys. We kept on getting more and more helium balloons and started sucking them too. Despite damaging our health we used about 5 balloons and then we went into the house and watched something on the television. Overall I had such an amazing time on my 17th birthday and the best part of it was, that I got to spend my special day with my special boyfriend Brian.

July 25th 2012

Today was the day I think I got a parcel and card in the post. I already knew what it was. It was a birthday present from my great-aunties Bernie and Patsy who live in Wexford. We only get to see them about 3 times a year but Berni seems to send me a birthday presents every year. She is my dad's auntie but to me she is like the nanny Murphy I never had because my dad's mam died when I was about 3 years old and I loved her and ever since then Berni has in a way taken her place and is now looking after me. Berni has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and she treats me like a grand-daughter because she hasn't got any children and she isn't married. She always knows what to get me for my birthday unlike my parents who had to ask me.
Brian called for me at like 3pm or 4pm and then we walked down to Michelangelo's restaurant on Main Street to have a look at the offers. Starters and desserts were €5 and a main meal was €10 which was reasonable so we headed back up to Brian's house and when we got there I rang up the restaurant and booked a table for 2 for the 2th of July. It was really happening..............my boyfriend was finally taking me out on our first official date in a fancy restaurant. I couldn't wait.

Brian was going out for a family dinner in town with his parents and his brother Alan at 7.30pm so I left and walked up to Alex's house. Me and Alex walked with Benny up through Castletown forest adn out through the backlawns and into the Castletown grounds. We wanted to see Benny go in the small river so Alex just pushed him in. He jumped back out and we headed back to Alex's house. It was coming up to about 10pm and we were going to give Benny a bath but it was too late. Me and Alex were in her sitting room just talking and at about 10.30 her mam came in and said "It's getting late" Whatever way she meant it, I was offended so I got my dad to collect me at 10.45pm.

Today Rachel and Katie called for me buy I wasn't ready so I just said that I would walk to Katie's house when I was ready. I went there and we were in the kitchen for a little while and then we went into the sitting room. There was a little tension between us all because when Katie's dad came in he gave out to her and she took it out on Rachel. Rachel had said she was hungry and then when Katie was going to the kitchen to get her some food, Rachel rejected it but Katie said "I'm getting you food!". I snapped at Katie because she was getting pissed off at Rachel because he dad gave out to her. 

At about 10pm Katie's dad drove me and Rachel home. It was about 1am when I couldn't sleep and when I can't sleep I just whip out my Ipad and listen to music but when I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't work. I turned my light on and then my heart could've stopped. I noticed that there was about 3 giant cracks all across the screen and I went and told my dad and had a breakdown. He said he would have a look at it but anything he tried didn't work. 

I tried to think back who had it first and I'm not saying that Rachel or Katie broke it but I'm just saying when I had it last it was working and now it's not. More than likely I will have to get a new one but that doesn't bother me. I just want all my pictures and music off it.

Today I went over to Amanda's house at like 1pm because I wanted to see how she was because of the news of her injury. I went over and we sat at her kitchen table for about an hour and we both talked about our holidays and she was telling me about when she got gobbed which I found funny. I gave Amanda her presents that I brought back from Blackpool. She really liked them and gave me a big hug. We then went into her side room where she was sleeping from now on because she couldn't get up the stairs because she was on crutches. The doorbell rang and it was Rachel and Katie and they brought flowers and a get well card. All four of us sat on the bed and were all talking for ages and then Amanda asked whether I wanted to have my birthday presents and holiday presents now. I said "Yea g'wan" :L 

I didn't mind seeing my presents because I hate surprises , well actually I love surprises but I hate not knowing what they are. She got me a little green buddha, a glass ornament with a picture of a waterfall inside it and a rubber bracelet with a Spanish phrase on it. Mine says "mio amor" which translates into "my love". These were my holiday presents and for my birthday presents she got me purple polka dot hoop ear-rings, an "L" necklace, false nails which had a leopard print design on them, false eyelashes with diamonds on them, a little nail file with a Chinese woman's head on the top and a little glass ornament which is like a pyramid with the word "Leo" inside it under an image of a lion. I thought that was really nice but I thought that a lot of thought went into my presents because there was loads of them. She then gave Rachel and Katie their presents too. 

We all just were talking about our holidays for ages and then I left at about 4pm and walked back to my house. I then had my dinner and then my dad drove me up to Alex's house. When I went in we went up to her bedroom and she showed me one of my presents. It was a small black box and when I opened it, it  was a set of 3 belly bars; green, red and purple. I loved it because I had my first of many different belly bars. Because I had already gotten presents off Amanda I just told Alex to give them to me on Saturday for my party. I brought over my new dress which I was going to be wearing for my birthday to show her and she made me try it on and she gave me 2 different pairs to try with the dress. She told me to take both heels home and show my mam and see which ones she liked. I personally liked the open toed lace heels better than the round toed plain plain heels. 

Coming up to about 8pm my dad collected me and drove me to Brian's house. I have to give it to my dad, he does drive me everywhere, he drives me to school and to and from Brian's house. When I went to Brian's house, Charlie's family were there. He was going home that night and he was going to be missed, not by Brian by ME!!!!! 

The family left at about 9pm and when they left I tried on my dress and showed Brian with both shoes. He liked the lace ones too and he really liked the dress. He liked the length of the front of the dress, not design of the dress. Typical man only noticing the length of a girl's dress. Karen really liked it too. I was really happy that he liked it and after I was back in my comfy clothes we all went inside and watched the movie "Taken". I've never seen it before and my mam and dad are always talking about it. It was good and I really enjoyed watching a movie with Brian and his parents. My dad then collected me at 11pm.

July 22nd 2012

Today at like 2 or 3pm Rachel and Katie knocked for me. While I was finishing getting ready my mam was talking to the them because Rachel was only back from her holiday in France. We all went to Katie's house and hung out in her bedroom for a while listening to music, talking pictures and talking about our holiday experiences. I then gave out their presents and they really liked them even though it was just a stick of personalized rock and a few key-rings. After about 1hour and 30minutes we all went down to Tesco and Katie got some things and I got a bag of  Haribo and we all put our money together and bought 2 bottles of 2 liter Pepsi Max for 3euro. We headed back to her house and went on her computer and poured out some glasses of Pepsi Max and ate the Haribo's. Katie then started to make something for us to eat, she put this tomato paste thing on top of pitta bread and put cheese on top. I wasn't too keen on it because it looked nasty but when it was done she basically gave me no other option. When I tried it, it tasted like pizza. 


When Katie's dad and his girlfriend Sandra got home we went out the back garden. We were having so much fun singing, dancing and listening to music. Rachel and Katie then told me then story about Sandra and how she is really mean to Katie and how one day she gave Rachel a dirty look. I didn't really like her and today was my first time meeting her and because she kept on looking at us as if to say "What are you's still doing here?" even though she doesn't even live in Katie's house. 


Me and Rachel were talking to Amanda and Amanda was making me angry because she was saying that she didn't know if she was going to be coming to my birthday party on Saturday 28th. She was making me frustrated and then Rachel got upset, so me and Katie tried to get her to talk to us and then she told us a story. She said that when she was on the boat home from France she was on the same boat as Amanda and while Amanda was walking down a flight of stairs on the boat, holding Harry and texting, she fell down like 4 steps and sprained both of her ankles. I was shocked because she didn't tell me, she's my best-friend but then I realized that Amanda is a very proud person and didn't want people to be doting over her because she was injured. 


At about 9pm Rachel had to go home for her dinner so me and Katie walked her halfway home and then we walked back to Katie's house and went out the back and sat on some chairs with some glasses of Pepsi Max and just talked. I actually saw something in Katie that I never seen before, she reminded me of ME!!!! :O 
Katie is insecure and people don't really like her because they don't really know her. When she was telling me about her life and all the challenges she had faced, I swear to GOD it was like she was telling me MY LIFE STORY!!!!!

July 21st 2012

Today me and Brian hung out together, I think I went to his house at about 4pm and we decided to bring Charlie out to Brian's friends. I was sitting on Andy's wall while Brian was playing a game with his friends that Andy's dad thought them called "squares". Charlie was lying on the ground and it was a nice sunny day, I saw Andy's dog "Darcy" in his garden. He only got her about 2 months ago so she is now only about 5 months old. She is so small and is like a furry mop with sharp little teeth. After a little while Brian took over holding Charlie because he got tired. I jumped over Andy's wall and started playing with Darcy. She was so cute and lively. I would throw a plastic stick away from her and she would run over and get it. She was running all over the garden like a bunny and her bark would make butter melt, it was so adorable. Brian brought Charlie in because he started barking like mad, the equivalent to a child throwing a tantrum . 


We went in a little while later and I got some dinner there, I had chicken balls and chips which were really nice. I gave a chicken ball to Charlie and he loved it, I also fed him about 10 chocolate muffins while he was staying in Brian's house :L

While Karen was sorting our food onto the plates she nearly let one of the chicken balls fall, but then like a lightning bolt she caught it but then Aiden said "What happened?" and Karen said "One of your balls nearly dropped2 That set me and Brian off and we started laughing and then we all did because we all knew that Karen meant something innocent but with our dirty minds we took it the wrong way.


After we were finished our food me and Brian went out the back garden and played with Charlie. We found 2 basket balls in Brian's bushes and I found a rugby ball but I threw it away because it had dirt on it but Charlie ran after it so that gave me the idea. Me and Brian would take turns at throwing the ball across the back-garden and Charlie would run after it and lock his teeth around it. It was a good game but then Charlie didn't run after it anymore so we stopped and just hung out for the rest of the night.

July 20th 2012

Today I had planned to go out to Alex and Brian. I went over to Alex's house at like 5pm or something and we hung out for a little while. It is really nice that me and Alex are back friends because I really think she is a nice person and is really funny. After about an hour or so we hooked Benny onto his lead and set off for the long journey through her estate and up to the playground to meet Brian and Charlie. We were walking alongside Aghards when we saw a guy with a dog, but it didn't regester in my head that it was Brian. 

When the 2 dogs met I was worried that they wouldn't liek each other but they seemed to like each other. I liked Charlie but I thought that he was too big for me. Personally I like small dogs that could fit in your handbag :L We walked over to the playground and hung out there for about 20 minutes and the dogs were getting restless so we walked over towards Tesco and I went into get a bag of Haribo. I gave the dog's a few but Charlie didn't reallt touch them but Benny was eating every one. Reminded me of my dad actually because my dad would eat the leftovers from our dinners.

Me and Alex had a go of holding Charlie's lead but instead of the material extender lead like Benny's, Charlie has like a rope which just proves that he's a very strong dog. Alex feel in love with the dog so while she was holding Charlie's lead I was holding Benny's. I would love a dog like Benny but my mam doesn't like dogs' even though she grew up with them! So she said I canget a dog when I have my own house. GREAT!!! So like when I'm middle aged.......

Brian said that Charlie had to go home soon because he was walking longer than Benny was so me and Brian walked Alex to the top of the estate and when the dogs said there goodbyes in "woof" form, we headed off. It seemed like we were walking to Mayo, because all 3 of us (me, Brian and Charlie) were knackered and it was sunny which made it feel longer. When we finally got there me and Brian put Charlie out the back garden and sat out the back with him for a while I think. 

Throughout the course of Charlie's visit I occasionally thought to myself about when me and Brian have our own house when we're older and hopefully will have a dog of our own. I thought of that every couple of minutes because he was a really nice and active dog and kept me and Brian on our toes because every once in a while he would jump up on us. I don't really when dogs do that becauuse it reallly frightens me, but everyone says that they only do that because they like you or that they want you to play with them. 

Me and Brian played with him for a good while and then it was getting dark so we put him out the back for a piss basically and then he came back in to go asleep. I headed off and couldn't really wait until the next day when I got to play with him again. This is really my only experience of looking after a dog because again my mam hates them with a passion!!!

I never understood why she hates them but now I know that it's just because they make the house smell and they shit all over the grass. But if I had a dog in my house I would have a small part of the garden where the dog would go to have a dump. Hopefully then it would realise that the house is not the grass.

July 16th - 19th 2012

Over the next few days I just hung out with my amazing boyfriend Brian. I love hanging out with him because with him I feel complete and when I'm without him I feel empty. Coming up to our nine month anniversary I am now thinking that Brian is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. He makes me happy, laugh and feel like a princess.  


So over the four days I just hung out with him and his friends and just had fun whether it be watching them play football or just talking as a group. 

July 15th 2012

Today my family had planned to go to Bray and my mam asked me to invite Brian. I was really happy that she had invited him because he was really starting to feel like part of the family. We picked Brian up at his house at about 1pm and we set off for Bray. When we got there it was a nice sunny day and there was loads of people there. There was amusements there and my mam and dad said that me and Brian could go off on our own and meet up with them later.


We walked up to the boat harbor and sat on the rocks for a little while and just chatted. We decided to walk back to the amusements and went on a few. We have never gone on a roller-coaster together before and while Brian had his eyes closed on most of the rides, I was enjoying the speed of the machines and I'm also an adrenaline junkie. I was really enjoying myself and the rain kept away so that was a bonus. 


Later on we met up with my family in a restaurant in an arcade and we got some food which was really nice. Then we headed back to the car and set off for home and when we got back to Celbridge, Brian decided that he wanted to come back to my house with us because he said that he likes my family more than his because mine are funnier and make fools of themselves. I think we ended up watching something on the television for a while and then my dad dropped me and Brian up to Brian's house at like 8 or something and when we got there, Brian's parents wanted to know how the day went and what we did and they made us a few burgers which were really yummy. I think Brian's dad cooked them on the BBQ. We also had a few chippies too :L


For the rest of the night, I think me and Brian just hung out and listened to music on his computer or just watched some television or maybe we hung out with his friends :L I never really remember what me and Brian do when we are in his house because it always seems to be a mixture of all 3.
