    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, bon nuit

    Wow that last blog was a load of crap.

    What I was trying to get readers to do was to realise that it was in fact a message in the form of Acrostic poetry. If you read the first letter of each line downwards, it spells "Mindsay Blog". If you went to Charlene's blog and clicked on her newer one, you could find a comment left by me in the most recent entry, where I made an entry which was also abusing acrostic poetry. That entry can be found here. If you read it, it was me admitting to being The Milka Fairy. Sadly, no-one bothered to go through this treasure trail and find out my secret, so it wasn't until the last day of school that people found out the truth.

     Anyway, the point of this blog was to let you know that I have since started a new blog on LiveJournal. I never officially ended things on MSN Spaces so I thought I would do it now. I started the LiveJournal blog with a few friends from school at the start of Summer, and so far it's been going alright. The link is here..

    Yup, I used the same username.

    So feel free to head over there and take a peek. This is me, for the last time, blogging on MSN Spaces.

    Quiet Childrens Poetry

    Hilo

    Michael informed me that I hadn't blogged in a while, so I thought I should probably do something
    interesting like making
     this blog. It's not a large blog. It's not a big blog. It's a mini blog. You could
    now, if you really tried, fit it into
    your pocket. It might be fun. Try it. I dare you! Or you could not
    do that. Maybe, it doesn't fit in your pocket, making you sad. If that's the case I'm sorry for being
    Sir cloud that rains on your parade. It wasn't my inten
    tion. It was my intention to make this blog.
    And why? I hear you cry. Well, I don't, but I like to imagine that you would want to know why, and
    you would make such an exclamation. Hmm.. what an o
    dd blog. It's not a particularly good blog,
    but then again my blogs have never been the stuff of Shakespearean legends. Also, it's not a bad
    little blog in the sense it isn't considering livening up your house by setting it on fire.
    In he end,
    one might conclude that this blog is neither large nor big nor good nor bad but cryptic. That my very
    good friend, would be a good conclusion to arrive at. A very good one indeed.


    Charlene's now deceased blog would probably help solve the crypticness of this blog, if cracking
    the code was something you wished to do. Aaron's blog wouldn't help. But I thought I should
    mention that he's back, baby! He might be back with a vengenance, but I don't know anyone he
    would be seeking revenge off that by blogging he could teach a lesson. But alas, I must finish this
    blog and proceed to go to sleep, as being so cryptic (twice)has tired me out. I'm sorry for talking
    in such a strange manner, and for potentially hurting your eyes with the manic colour system above.
    Good night. Or good morning or even afternoon depending on when you are reading this.

    Lack of catchphrase

    Muwhahahah!

    Tee hee.

    This isn't a blog. Well, not really.

    Although there is a blog. Somewhere.

    Just not on MSN spaces.
     
    See if you can find it.
     
    Good luck!
     
    Adios!

    Toraloralor... Situation! Toraloralor...

    Hilo, once again, many apologies for the no bloggingness. Last time, I got really inspired and I updated stuff, added photos, etc. Not something I'd usually do. Anyway, since my last blog, guess what happened?

    WE GOT SKY + !!!!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY FRIKING AMAAAAZING!!! I AM LOOOVING IT!!!  I get to rewind tv and watch it over again!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

     also...

      I GOT MY NATIONAL INSURANCE CARD!!! WOOOOOOO!!!! I CNA NOW GET A JOB WITHOUT HAVING TO EARN LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE!!! 
      I CAN GET MINIMUM WAGE! WOOOO!!!!

     

     *ahem* Now, on a slightly calmer note. Many thanks to Tom, anon (IT'S SHEILA!!! ) and Miz for commenting.. but no one tried the random facts competition. You know, you're making me cry inside, all of you. (On that note Caroline I'm sorry, but I'll send you that picture tomorrow... or depending on when you're reading it yesterday...) Oh wait, I won't be on MSN tomorrow, so you'll have to wait until Monday or take it from Sheila. Hmm... Anyway, the answers were...  Carol Smillie appeared in BROOKSIDE and yer woman married a dude who was 20 years younger than her. Ha ha, cradle-robber. Right, the next one is…

     

    1.  (Ah,  screw the source, I’m going Wicca… hehe lol just ignore that, and if you do know what I'm talking about, don't spoil the secret)  The men with the most tattoos are called Tom Leppard and _______ ___________.

     2. The first war to be filmed was the Battle of Volo in Greece in ______ (year).

      Hmm.. I can’t really think of what else to say, apart form that recently I’ve made up to songs, both of which make fun of Aaron for being an alco, even if he isn’t. The second one also claims that Phil (Skelton) is a druggy, which he might be  . If I can find a microphone, I’ll record them and put them on this space, for all of you to enjoy, even if I can’t sing. Right, I can’t really think of anything else to say, except… Aha! Okay, for every person that gets a random facts competition question right, you get 10 points. At the end of each month, I will count up the points, and the winner gets a picture drawn in their honour! How’s about that, eh? Yeah, I like that. Starting form this blog entry. Oh, and April, May and June will be put into one month, as my GCSEs will probably stop me form blogging too much. Right, moustache, adios.

     
    Well call me butter, ‘cause I’m on a roll!

     
    P.S. No, I don't know why the writing has such a weird background...

    Fussballhistoricherfamilien Film

      Ja, guten Tag! Wie gehts? Prima! Ich spreche auf Deutsch weil heute wir (meine Deutsche Klasse) zu Queens Film Theatre gegangen sind und haben ein Film gesehen. Es hat "Das Wunder von Bern" geheisst. Es war gut, aber ich habe die Kurzhose von Matthias nicht gemocht: sie haben 'Lederhosen' geähnelt.

       Okay, my German isn't good enough to continue, so it'll be English now. If you don't speak German, you should probably translate itThe film was really weird, it was about the 1954 Swiss World Cup and some dude whose Dad comes home from being a POW after WWII. I was expcting it to be ABSOLUTELY USELESS but it was in fact 'rather entertaining'. First of all, we got to got out of history early (Woo!) and then we just went to the place. A bunch of other schools were going, including Rathmore and Ballyclare High. Those are the only two I can remember because Aaron knows a bunch of people from BH (including Claire, who does German, but she wasn't there) and my primary school best friend goes to Rathmore, he was there. Apparently his mum is a german teacher too because she was also there. (I knew she was a teacher in his school but I didn't know it was german that she taught.) First we went into the place and did a really weird conveyor-belt-type discussion thingy, which was lots of fun, because I got to rhyme off my presentation which made me look really smart . Then a guy called Wolfgang Winkler did like a wee presentation of the historical and social background of Germany at the time in wich the film was set. Then we had a break and our Refuse Facilitator (Sheila) saw to it that we kept the place clean. After lunch we actually saw the movie, including this bit where the main character, Matthias, went into his rabbit hutch to talk to the rabbits, as you do. Anyway, he dangled a carrot in the area between the legs, and a rabbit walked over to him. The camera moved to the left so he was out of screen, and the kid says something like "It's tasty isn't it? Blacky come here, Atsy likes it". The whole cinema erupted into laughter, even though it wasn't supposed to be taken that way. The rest of the film, I can't be bothered mentioning, but I aso liked the bit with the name Roswitha being mentioned. Man, linking is addictive. Anyway, afterwards we waited about and filled in a response sheet with our thoughts about the film, and I was able to write superfantastisch once in german, and once in english (super fantastic). I also signed my name as Clark Kent, and I'm pretty sure I convinced someone to sign theirs as Peter Parker...

       Anyway, after that we simply went back to school and only had to bear ten minutes of french. Then I got the bus and went home. Aw, such joy. Anyway, well done to Elena for knowing that it was PERSEPHONE who ate a pomegranyte seed and so was condemned to 'hell', and no-one knew that PTAH was that Egyptian god. Right, here goes anything...

     1. Carol Smillie guest appeared, as herself, in ________________. (It's a soap)

     2. Dame Elizabeth Taylor married Larry Fortensky, but we has _____ years younger than her.

      Okay, methinks that that's all folks!

     Call me butter, cause Im on a roll!

       Adios



      UPDATE:


    Proof that Germans are weird
    February 27

    IT'S A MONSTER!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!

    *Lightning forks*

    *Electricity runs through the generator*

     Muwhahahahah...
       MUWHAHAHAHAHAH!
        MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!!!

    IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!!!

    Michael's blog: Grraaaarrr... Blog need food!

    *Blog does tap dance*

     So, um, yeah. I've decided to kick the laziness up the booty and start my blog again. This is partly to do wiht Aaron's decision to cease the blogginess. I first have to apologise for the lack of blogging, but when I look back at my hits, it seems only Karishma noticed.  But thanks Karishma, for caring. I don't think I've even looked at anyone else's blog since like Christmas, but I don't know if I can be bothered to read back, so I'll just pick up from where they are now. Anywho, I've got the bluetooth adaptor thing up-and-running on this laptop, so expect the photos on my phone pretty soon. Although not to soon, as apparently I have to upload them o-n-e- -a-t- -a- -t-i-m-e- which kind of sucks. Hm.. so what do I do now? Aha! The random facts competition. Please give it a go. No-one else does anymore so you're pretty much guaranteed to win. Here bes me...

     The first series of Big Brother was weird, but te person who came second was called Anna and she was a NUN. I can feel the joy from you all. Oh, and that song was written for JANE ASHER. If only we knew who she was. Alas, we don't. SO we move on and don't give it a second thought. Now, we've got an ancient mythology theme for the competition today. YYYEEEEOOOOO I hear you shout. Here bes me...

     1. The Greek woman who was condemned to spend half of each year in the underworld for eating a pomegranyte seed (yipee!) was called ______________.

     2. The Egyptian god of innovation and creative thinking was _________.

      Right, once you've failed those, you may proceed to boycotting this space. Until next time,

     Call me butter, 'cause I'm on a roll!

     Adios

     UPDATE:


    Well done to Elena for getting the first answer in the competition, and you totally get bonus points for knowing all that jazz about Jane Asher. Go team! Woo! Oh, and I've uploaded a ton of photos from my phone, so, go go power rangers! Go go! (Song courtesy of Bronagh)

    January 26

    hahahahahahahaha

    haha I have so completely given up on this thing it's funny. I should like just not do any coursework and do a proper blog. But I won't. So I'll go.

    Well call me butter, cause I'm on a roll!

    Whee!
    January 05

    Well would you look at that, I've got myself a catchphrase!

    Yes, I'm lazy, we all know it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This isn't going to be a long/good blog, I just needed to blog to kill some time, and because I figured I should. I've lost the want to blog, by te way, so chances are blogs will be a rare "luxury", and I use that word loosely. Anyway, I had a very good Christmas, my granny got out of the nnursing home the Thursday before Christmas, so she was able to spend Christmas in her own home, I got £100 (WOOOO!!!) which I've already wasted on amazon, buying stuff including Buzz for the PS2, which I can't wait to play, provided I get enough friends . Also, now this bit rocks...


     WE GOT A 32 INCH TV IN THE LIVING ROOM! HOW COOL IS THAT??! Aw, it's amazing, it's high definition, and it's probably got some other features which are abbreviations like LCD or whatever. (I don't actually know if it's LCD or not though) and it's like, totaly

    wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.

    Hmm.. my font's a different size now.. oh well. anyway, random facts quiz. The first opera was called DAFNE in 1597. Fascinating isn't it. Also, Elle MacPherson used to be called ELEANOR GOW . Ha ha, Gow, sounds like cow, wow I'm pereptive. Anyway, here come the next two. For any newcomers, the aim is to guess what the missing words are. Good luck. Here goes.

     1. In the first series of Big Brother, the contestant coming second's occupation was a _________
    .

     2.
    What? Hey! My font's back. Oh yeah, Paul McCartney wrote the song "Things We Said Today" for ________ ___________ .


      By the way, sorry if you've never lived in Great Britain or Ireland as otherwise you really wouldn't get either of those. So sorry Shelley. Oh that reminds me. Thanks to Shelley, Catherine, Laura, the Yuki girl (I don't know if Yuki is her actual name), Mary and Gill. The comments are appreciated, goodness knows I need them. Anyways, I've decided to ask susanne for a catchphrase, and this is what she as come up with, so if you have any complaints, take them out wiht her, cause I'm loving it.

     Call me butter, cause I'm on a roll!

     Adios.

    Happy Belated Blog

    Boo.
     Yes, I'm back, and I give to you a thousand apologies, as rich as 500 setting suns. No, I'm not on drugs, i'm in a weird mood. The reasons I haven't blogged since like, whenever the last blog was, are due to:

    1. Exam revision- THis took up a lot of time, so I wans't able to blog at the time
    2. The exams themselves- obviously also taking up a lot of my time, which sucked
    3. The computer in the living room, as you may know, has buggered up, and I can't get on MSN on that, so the only way is to go on using my dad's laptop
    4. Emma, my younger sister, was constantly on the laptop, today having spent lke 3/4 hours on it
    5. My dad took the laptop to Denmark with him, on another of his work trips, so I couldn't update while he was away which was for like a week.

     For these reasons, I wasn't able to blog, and so, I am sorry. Quite a bit has happened, but at the minute I'm having a blank and so I'll just not tell you, and get on wiht some other stuff. In The Bible, sheep are considered to be ritually clean animals, and in Genesis, the Lord ordered Noah to take two of every ritually unclean animal and SEVEN of every ritually clean animal, so there were SEVEN sheep aboard Noah's Ark, although how many male and female sheep, I don't know. The Iranian Shah was exiled on the 16 JANUARY 1979 , which is a not-so-well-known fact for you there. Well, I hope it's a fact, my sourc emaybe wrong, but I don't think so.

       I've somehow actually caught up on all my blogs, Elena's, Charlene's (oops! Forogot about her secret blog...) Well, almost all. Aaron's, Karishma's (by the way, you two, I apologise for not paying attention to The Joint, but I really can't be bothered), Gill's, Mary's, Shelley's,  hmm... who else... no offence if I've forgotten you by the way.
     Charlene: Great to hear about your mock trial, laughed at the bit about the barrister not being able to crack Lyndsey, very cool.
     Elena: Must have taken you ages to write that, I can't remember much about anything, least of all on demand.
     Aaron: Hmm.. what did Aaron's blog say... crap, oh well, I'm sure it was a million times better than any blog I've ever written. And better punctuated...
     Karishma: Didn't really get the whole "I am In" thingy, but thouht it was interesting all the same, and once again you've baffled me at how these Rock bands get their names.
     Gill: Once more we have been enlightened by the philosiphical thinkings of this bonny lass, and although I don't really understand some of it, I really enjoyed the last few blogs.
     Mary: Very much liked the song about seeing God in people or something, and good to hear tht Becca's over, whoever she is.
     Shelley: Sorry to hear about your Granda, I've lost both of mine, one 7 or 8 years ago and the other about 3 or 4. (The reason I say or is because we're changing years, so I'm getin confused.) I know how hard it is and my heart goes out to you.

      1. The first opera was in 1597, and it was called _________ . (Ha ha!)

      2. Elle Macpherson's real name (before she changed it) was ________ _______ .

       I've just finished my exams and got all the results, and I was pretty sure I failed like all of them. But actually, I did really wel. My results are shown below:-

      Subject               Mark                    Median                            Comment

                                                                                                      "The Pope"



       Incase youre wondering why soem are underlined, last year, nick Henry beat my in like all o my results but this year, in every one that is underlined, I BEAT NICK! HA! (I drew with him in biology this time).


       Right, I think that's me, as I'm very tired, and it'll be my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BEFORE CHRISTMAS TOMORROW!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to brign in my Monty Python movies (Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life and And Now For Something Completely Different), Pirates of the Caribbean and the Incredibles for watching in chemistry. On friday in chemistry we toasted marshmallows over bunsen burners, made balloon sculptures and did a quiz, which our team would have won if we had got a point each time we should have, but Atchy wouldn't and I couldn't be bothered to argue. In french was talked and ate german food and norma food and chocolate and cake and crisps and biscuits and chocolate biscuits and hot chocolate which, obviously, was very nice. Right, really going now. Adios and if I don't blog, Merry Christmas!

    November 25

    Ah! I have hand cancer! No, it's just a plaster.

    Hmm.. this plaster on my hand keeps reflecting in the light and i keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye and thinking i have some cancerous scar on my hand. Oh, yeah, i'm back; hilo. i can't be bothered revising right now, and i have a teensy bit of spare time, so i thought hey, why not blog. i've deserted the whole half term thing, would just take too long. lets just say, i went to a party, had tons of fun, had a small party, lots of fun, went to plant fun, nearly vomited, and got soaked, but it was really good. Anyway, well done to Aaron for getting that John Lennon woud be 65 this year and to Donal for knowing that Lincoln was elected to congress in.. 1848 was it? I canny be bothered to look back. Right, I've temporarily misplaced my source, so I'll have to get these from the top of my head.

    1. There were ___ sheep brought on Noah's ark. (According to The Bible obviously)

    2. The Iranian Shah and his family were exiled in the revolution on ________ ____ _______. (Have fun!)


     Right, anyway, this week I've sat my german and french orals, my french listening and my english literature mocks. French O- Failed, methinks. I stumbled completely. I was asked on toursim and home life. I spent like an hour learning one question on tourism, and then i got asked it and I forgot it. There wasn't one question she asked me that I knew fluently. German O- I think it went quite well, although she says i should slow down a bit and not speak as fast. French L- I thought it was hard, but everyone else said it was easy. Maybe i'm stupid without knowing it. English Lit- For the war poetry, i pretty much just recited my answer for one we did in class, although slightly crapper, and for the lord of the flies, i just waffled. But I was very proud with myself that i managed to finish on time with still a decent amount done.

     Since wednesday, i had  sore throat, but it wasnt that bad until today. today i could barely talk, so i was lik miming to everyone to ty and get them to understand me. I also had a sheet which i produced when someone asked me something i couldnt mime saying "I have a very sore throat and can't speak" I felt like writing on the back of it "So fuck off", but I didn't. Also today, I scraped my hand on the lock thingy of a door in the maths block. At first i thought it was just a scrape, but then I went into chemistry and saw that it was bleeding a little, so, with my sore throat, i convinced matthew to ask yer man for a plaster. SO i got one, and now i keep thinking my skin is rotting because it looks weird out of the corner of my eye. 

     I saw Wallace and Gromit the other weekend, it was very good, very funny, and I'm stupid so I didn't expect the twist with Wallace. Also, I took part in the youth mass, doing the first reading and responsorial psalm, i read quite well in my opinion. Also, Tom, Eoin, Daniel, Paddy, Marianne and some others went to see harry potter, but I said no because I needed to revise. So, i missed it and I'll have to go on my own, looking like a right loner, so I'l try and convince someone to come with me.

      I've discovered Charlene's 'secret' blog, its very cool. I also feel like i should do the secret art thing, nicking her ideas, but I only thought of one, and I've forgotten it now. I discovred the other day that I don't open up to people, I only manipulate them into thinking that I do. I've only really opened up to like a few people, namely Tom, Eoin and Aaron, although I may have to more. I'm a forgetful peson, so for all I know I've shouted out to everyone in my class my deepest and darkest secrets. On that subject, I've just realised I only have like 2 secrets. Maybe that's why I dont open up, what you see it what you get. Hmm.. Im 2 dimensional. Perfect. Oh well, I'm bored, and I'm sure you are too. Adios.

    Half Term Tales Part 1

    Right, time to start this. What I'll do is break it up into a few parts, and at the start of each tell people to start from this one, hence the 'Part 1' in the title. Right, first of all I'll do the random facts competition. Oprah Winfrey was named (and mispelt) after ORPAH from the book of RUTH. On that note, I'm curenty reading the Bible cover to cover, and I've just started the Book of Isaiah. Anyway, the first song played on Top of the Pops was I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU  by dusty Springfield.. ah, memories lol. Right, here come the next ones.

     1. Abraham Lincoln was elected to congress (NOT elected as President) in _________.

     2. If John Lennon had lived, he would have turned ______ in 2005.

      Alright, now time to start on my half term. Brace yourself for longness. I think my last entry was Monday the 24th, and not much happened on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of that week. That Friday, however, was Prize day and the last day of term. Prctically nothing happened in school. so, when it turned lunchtime, I went down to the bus stop to go home. The plan was to go home, get ets and be up at the church for 2 o'clock. That would happe, but not the way I wanted it. We got on the bus and, just across the road fomr the Fortwillia shops, some eejit on their mobile phone came out of a street and stopped, blocking wo lines, so our bus screeched its brakes, and hit the car. Luckily, it just tapped it as far as I know, because I didn't feel anything. So, we sat there for five minutes, and another bus pulled up beside ours. We all decided to get off and ge ton tht bus. But aaron, Matt Rogers and i were too lte, and te bus was full by the time I got there, so I got to walk home. When I actually gt home, I had time to go inside and get a piece of toast before I had to leave again, so I was absolutely starving by the end of prize day. Incase I haven't mentioned, I got a prize for getting first in german (wooo! I beat Sheila and Leah). In prize day, I sat between Kirsten McKee and Rachel McNair. I sat beside Rachel in maths in fourth year, and we hardly talked, so I was dreading that a bit, and Kirsten in R.E. in third year, and I think I siad like four words to her, so I was dreading that too. Although, once we got there, I talked quite a bit to Kirsten, Sinead McCourt (who sat beside Kirsten) and Chicken Matt, who sat beside Sinead. Apart form the talking with these three, prize ay was very boring.

       On friday evening, we went to Omagh. I think this w our third time going. It's this museum/park plce, based on the American settlers in Ireland, and at Hallowe'en they turn it into this place where there are these show thingys on at different houses, and they're situated in this forest thing, and as you walk between them, people dressed in costumes jump out of the trees and scare you, it' so much fun. Anyway, we went with my family (Dad, Mum, Emma and me), my next door neighbours (Peter-dad-, Eilish-mum, Anna-daughter and Paul-son) and their cousin (Phillip) and his mum (Sue) and dad (Declan). Also, my neighbour Paul brought about six of his friends. We went to Paul's house first for dinner and then set out on the 2 hour drive to omagh. I remember the first one we went to was a room with a big ship in it, and down 'on the docks' there was 3 cages, ech covered by curtains, a couple of barrels and a woman. also, there was a sign saying "Freak show". Anyway, the woman didn't 'work for the freak show', she was a 'fishmonger', so she called the guy who did, and he came down and told her she couldn't see the freak show; however she was having none of it, and pulled the first curtain back. inside the cage ws a woman with a scarf around her head and a sign saying "Bearded lady". Lo and behold, she had a beard. The fishmonger tried to get one of Paul's friends to give her a kiss, but he was way too reluctant. She was ugly. The next cage contained a "Two headed woman" so, two women in a big dress. They sat and talked and made fun of the people in the crowd. THe next cage had a foot sticking out of it, and the owner ofth frek show wouldn't let the woman near the cage, but she got through anyway and touhed the foot, until it fell down on the ground and we saw that it ws part of a leg. Obviously, there was supposed ot be a carnivore in the cage. Howeve,r whn the man pulled back the curtain, there was no one in it. He went "Oh no! It's escaped! Everybody run!". But they didn't. Then, the lights went out, well part of them, and the actors stopped what they were doing, and shouted up to the guy on th ship "Hey, what's going on?" and the woman informed us that that's what's called "technical dificulties". The wee man on the ship shouted "one more minute" and suddenly screamed, as if in pain. Then we heard this big growl and saw a shadow on the sail of the ship. Then, legs were thrown over the side of the ship, like part of a body. The woman screamed, and a man dressed in a monster costume jumped out form behind the crowd, scaring everyone in the back row. And pretty much everyone. Then, we were all told to run away, so we went through the ship onto the next show. Hmm.. that took too lon, so I'll just summarise the shows form now on. The next show was in a room with "HEX" on the door of it. Incase you don't know, Hex is german for witch, which I answered when the guy asked if any german speakers knew what it meant. Anyway, we went in and here were three witches who got people up on stage and blindfolded them, making them eat, touch and smell stuff. Eilish, Pauls friend and another of Paul's friends were picked. I can't remember the order of the shows, so I'll jsu tell you some more. There was one in which we were all akedto pose for a photo, and when the guy sid "Cheese", we were all suddenly blinded by a huge flash for about five seconds. In that time, another of the two actors put on a gorilla mask and started jumping in front of everyone and scaring them. Another one was in this wee house, and some woman and her servant were trying to resurrect her dead husband, dracula.When he rose he cam out and talked, and then one of Paul's friends let off  stinkbomb, it was reeking. So we all sat there for  while holding our noses, while the dracula guy told off everyone in a translvanian accent which was quite funny. Anyway, then he went back, ecause the spell was fading, so the wife and servant tried again, but he had disappeared! DUN DA DUN!!! Then, as they worried, because he was "very dangerous", he jumped out of a door into the room, scaring everyone once more. There were two houes I tihnk whih gae food, one gave traditional breads or somehing, like pumpkin bread, pupkin pie, apple pie, corn brea dan dsome other stuff, and another whcih gave cullin or omething, which is vey like champ, apple tart and something else.  There was also a barn dance, which was fun, and the waves of tory, which was also fun. There was a wee old woman who 'told fortunes' and in th esma eone her drunken friend appeared with  chamber pot shouting about the noise. There was one with this old couple who sold food in their shop, bt the food ws rely just dirt. they said their son was coming, ad that he was a very desirable bachelor. So, he came in late ron and he ws like this big mess, a hunchback and covered in dirt with wild and crazy hair. Anyway, they decded to hve a shotgun wedding and chose Sue to be the bride. So, they got married and then the guy announced "alright, babe, let's go have some fun" and disppeared behind a divider and started shaking it, which was very funny. There was also this place that had some party games, including ducking for apples, ducking for sweets (in porridge oats) and eat the apple (apple pieces danging form theceiling by a string, try an get some with your mouth). There was also some guy telling a story aled 'The Piper'. It's quie a well-known story, but he didn't realy tell it that well, so when it ended you were like "What? It's over? That wans't scary, I don't get it..." Also, there was this very random one which had two wee old ladies there, one of them complaining that she thought she had the bird flu, so she slept in the other womans bed, when it wans't even the sick woman's house. Then, as she was sleeping, a man came in dressed as the Grim Reaper saying "Mrs. O'Connor, you're time has come!" Incase you don't know, tht happens in an ad for butter. So, in this one, they were quoting random ads. Somehow, they managed to get in "You may be beautiful, but they're keeping my idea on file, in a filing cabinet!" from the Donegal Catch ad, which is sheer genius. Also, I talked quite a bit to these two girls, but for the life of me I can't remember their names. I think one of them was caled Ashleigh. Or maybe they were called Natasha and Lyndsey. Oh I don't know. Anyway, that concludes the giant that was friday. Aft that we went hom in th car and then I went to sleep, as we were home around 3.

     
    I had also planned to do Saturday in this blog, but it sems a bit too long so I'll just leave it for the next one, as it talks about the party I went to. So, see you in the next blog.

    Apologies

    Hilo everyone, very sorry I haven't updated in AGES, but the problem is that we got a virus on our computer, which didn't let us sign into ANYTHING related to MSN, whether it was hotmail, messenger or even just the site itself. It still isn't fixed, and I'm doing this on the computer we got up in my room (YEEEOOOO) but haven't yet managed to permanently set up the internet on it. So, expect a very long blog entry... soon.. Must go now, though, sorry once more. Adios.

    THE BEST costume in the world

    Hilo everyone, I'm back after the delay. Sorry, but I wasn't on all weekend due to socialising and huge amounts of homework. Em, thanks to Nick, Aaron, Karishma, Gill, Mary and Donal for the comments. Many thanks to those who commented more than once and to those who have helped me out. Right, if you do not try the random facts competition then I WILL NOT INSERT A LINK UNDER YOUR NAME IN THE NEXT BLOG OR THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING!!!  DUN DA DUN!!! So, the answers were: that guy had 24 brothers and sisters and the first song played on Radio 1 was "FLOWERS IN THE RAIN".

     1. The first song played on Top of the Pops was ___ ______ ______ ____ ____ ______ ______ by Dusty Springfield.

     2. Oprah Winfrey was named after ________ from the Bible's Book of ______; her name was spelt wrong on her birth certificate.

      Em, I don't really have too much time left on this, becuase I have to get off soon, but I'll just talk and say what I can. 

     Last weekend  I did stuff, one of which was going to the hallowe'en fair at my primary school, was pretty rubbish. This weekend will be fun though. On the friday, me, our nextdoor neighbours and their aunt, uncle and cousin are all going to this hallowe'en trail down in Omagh. It's really cool, there are these wee show things, and while you walk form one to the other, people are hiding in trees and stuff and jump out at you and scare the heck out of you. A lot of fun. On Saturday, I'm going to a party at tom's house, wiht the best costume in the world. Ever. Drum roll please...

    I'm going as....

     A cardboard box!  It's sheer genius! I can't wait. I've got one in my room, which reminds me. i'm getting a laptop in my room. Cool, huh? Okay, it's not my own, it's my dads, but I'll be able to use it, for the internet and for games. WOOO! Right, moustache. Donal, I will try the music thing another time, very many thanks for the help, though. Rigth, adios. <Catchphrase>

    Don't laaaaugh at meeeeee, don't loooook awaaaaay, you'll follow me back with the sun in your eeeeeyyyyyyesss and on yoooour oooown, Bedshaaaaaaaaped and legs of stoooone

    Yes, well er, after the awe-inspiring blog i published last night, I decided I should probably do a proper blog. Although I can't remember what happened over last weekend, and there's not much going on in my life right now, so I shall just babble. First though, the competition. The hardest thing to flush down the toilet is a PING-PONG BALL, and the Norse winter goddess was called SKADI. Why does no-one try the competition? (apart from Shelley of course) Is it too hard, or are you all as lazy as me? Oh well, here comes the next one.

    1. Sonny Liston had ______ brothers and sisters. <Wow, parents must have bred like rabbits>

    2. The first song played on Radio 1 was ________ ____ ___ _______ by The Move.

     
    The first fact reminded me of something: films out at the minute. Three films that I want to see are
            Corpse Bride (Tim Burton is a genius, I loved Nightmare Before Christmas)
            Serenity (At first I didn't but I saw a small programme for it on MTV and now I do.)
            Wallace and Gromit (You may think it's sad, but those two rock, and I really want to see it, apparently it's hilarious.

          At the minute I'm listening to Travis: Flowers in the Window. Along with The Beatles: Let it Be, that's my favourite song in the world. Bit of info bout me there. Anyway, thanks to Shelley, John, Mary, Gill, Abi and Karishma for commenting. Also, thanks to the people who visited my space, although they didn't leave a comment. Well, I don't have anything to ramble about today, so I guess I'll just have to end this blog right... now. Adios. Oh, and I think I might try and think up of a slogan to say at the end, like "Keep on trucking" or something less cliche. I still like adios, but I want a catchphrase, because I'm that strange. Just the way Ag has the whole She-who-has-been-called-Ag-instead-of-her-real-name-by-michael thing going on at the end of her blogs.

     Hmm... to finish this off I'll add in links to a couple of pictures of penguins. No, I don't know why I put this in.

     I didn't know penguins could walk on water!
     Penguins crossing? Riiiight...
     "Penguins en motion"

     
    Alrighty I think that's me. Comments and suggestions please. <Insert catchphrase here> Adios.

     UPDATE:

     Aaron, you're so suredykipperfacefishmaskdogwantymoorish, I mean come on. Also, please help me people, how do you get the music playing on your space, it's confusing. Also, got some new searches, check them out. Oh, and Mary, tell Catherine if she says anything bad I'll get her gypsy beads on her.

    Banana Phone!

    I want the banana phone song on my mobile... but I can't find it

     This makes me mad

    A morbid thanking religion. Is that blasphemy?

    Hilo everyone. hey, this font is a different size. Hmm.. I dont know if it's a good thing or not. For some reason, I haven't actually mentioned that I was away on the Scripture Union weekend last weekend. I can't be bothered to make this long, so I'll just be brief. It was really really good fun. There were twister games, a barn dance, musical chairs, a games room, really cool games on saturday (including an obstacle course and a chair game) a quiz, and a bunch of other stuff, including a murder game in which i killed someone and gave up because i didnt know who my next victim was, so I just let Laura kill me. The food was alright, there were fifteens, which were very nice, and this sort of treacle pudding thing which was really really really delicious. En francais: tres delicieux. Auf Deutsch: sehr lecker. There was also a really cool speaker called Dave Murphy, who talked about something called Cat and Dog theology. If you can be bothered, which you really should be, or else I'll give you a pounding, check out the link, which I shall put in again. Here. And here too. Incase you haven't realised, they all link to the same thing.

     Ermm.. I would explain it in more detail, but I don't have that much time. thanks for the comments, good to see Ag that your computer is finally allowing you to comment on spaces. Gill, I do admit it, I haven't seen Love Actually, although I don't get why that is such a big deal. Thanks to all the compliments about the rhyming. Shelley, I'm not actually very poetic at all lol I sat there for ages going like "What rhymes with time..." lol it was very hard. thanks to all the complete randomers who left comments. Mary, you're blog rocks, don't let anyone else make you think otherwise, and I could go as Woody, while you go as Buzz. We'd get some really weird looks. An especially huge thank you to catherine, for leaving that oh so thought provoking comment. It warmed my heart to hear such a kind and compassionate opinion. Incase you're wondering, this lovely person is my sister. Aaron, thank you, it was very hard to incorporate (yay another big word) the answers into the last blog, although the questions would have been harder. On that note, here are the next ones.

     1. As left once on a comment on this space which I unfortunately didn't see until recently, the most impossible thing to flush down a toilet is a ____-_____ _____.

     2. The Norse god of winter is ________ .


     On a slightly more morbid note, Aaron, Matt, Chris, Eddie and I were all talking about our funerals. If you were to die, what song would you have played at it? My two favourite songs are The Beatles: Let it Be and Travis: Flowers in the Window but at my funeral I would like the Beatles one, Be Not afraid (a hymn) and Keane: Bedshaped played. I don't think the Travis one would really be too appropriate, the lyrics are slightly more happy. Or maybe they're not, and I just need to listen to them again..

     Right, moustache. Adios. P.S. The moustache is intentional: incase you haven't realised it's like must dash. I think it's cool. But I'm weird, so myeh. Also, big shout out (lol can't believe I said that) to Cara and Gemma from the weekend.

     
    UPDATE:

     
    Lmao. I know you probably won't find this funny, but I just got the best google hit: "freaky midget" lmao, i'm pissing myself here, and I'm sure none of you think it's funny but i think it's genius. Also, Mary, I know Cahterine, but I don't think I know Niamh or Livvy... Or else maybe I do, and I just call them a different name e.g. Laura is Dominic. Ha Ha dominici! Now it's published ofr everyone to see! Muwhahahahah!

    Incase you're wondering, today is National Poetry Day

    Hilo everyone.

     As today National Poetry Day be
     Decided to make this blog rhyme has me
     This isn't as easy as it may looks
     And you're probably wondering how long this blog took
     I'll tell you know, so listen clear
     THIS BLOG TOOK ME NEARLY A YEAR


     First of all some thanks to say
     To all who left comments the other day.
     All of you got the answers wrong
     SO let's all talk about Aaron's pong
     He smells so bad you might well die
     Only joking people, this is a lie.

     Off on a tangent i know i've gone
     So back to how you got the answers wrong.
     Karishma almost got the name of Sting
     But names can be very fickle things
     Gordon Sumner his name once was
     And France created the cracker buzz.

     Lately in my school, some visitors have been
     Some Swedish, some German and my they were clean
     Beautiful blonde girls with long blonde hair
     You see them and your jaw drops right there
     My good friend Sheila had a German in her house
     But fear not, it was arranged, unlike the mouse

     The mouse that came into my house when I was young
     And stayed in my room, which wasn't that much fun.
     It scuttled around in the night, making quite a racket
     And gnawed at my chocolate, including the packet
     Eventually the mouse's thread of life snapped
     Which had nothing to do with my father's trap.

     Currently right now, I'm speaking with Claire
     My younger cousin, with long brown hair
     At this point, in I must chime
     That everything I have said to her has rhymed.
     The new competition will be hard to convey
     As everything must rhyme with all else I say.

     Maybe it would be better if this one time I leave
     The competition till the next time I come on and heave
     Out all this ranting and chatting and junk
     Which sometimes stinks as bad as a skunk.
     Sincere apologies for that last rhyme I gave
     After all this hard work my energy I must save.

     As today National Poetry Day be
     Decided to make this blog rhyme has me
     This isn't as easy as it may looks
     And you're probably wondering how long this blog took
     I'll tell you know, so listen clear
     THIS BLOG TOOK ME NEARLY A YEAR
    October 01

    Well er em eh, yes... Alliteration- it's faaaantastic!

    Hilo everyone. Thanks for the comments by the way, much appreciated. Those two dudes both named their children SATCHEL. It's weird enough that one guy would do it, but why should another child suffer? Also, bob Geldof was called LIVER LIPS hahaha loser.Sorry about the recent lack of blogging, it seems to be going around. Charlene, Aaron, Shelley and I all have slightly been slacking off (no offence, though. And no I don't know why I link my name. I just did) Anyway, what's new? I have a cold. Fun, eh? Incase you're wondering why the text is centered, it's because I wrote two crappy poems, one of which is a crappy limerick, other one is just crap. I'll go fetch them now.

     *Runs off to fetch crappy poems*

     Aha, here we are. I'll do the random facts competition after them.

     Look up at the sky
    Start to wonder why when you
     Look up at the sky


     Well, wasn't that just vomity. Next.

    She is beautiful
    Watching her smile
    She is wonderful
    I sit in awe

    For a brief second
    Our eyes meet
    I feel nervous
    And look away

    I know she will never see me
    The way I see her
    But I sit and hope.
    She is beautiful
    .



     Ahem, cheesiness over, now time for competition.

    1. The person that invented the Christmas cracker was from _______. (It's a country)   

    2. Sting's real name was _______ _________, before he changed his name of course.


    I've been taking lots more random pictures with my phone lately, and putting them in my phone book. For example, the picture for aaron in ym phonebook is a pineapple. Just so you know, that's not implying anything. It's very annoying, because as I cannot find the installation CD for my bluetooth adaptor, my photos stay on my phone. Grr... I'll look for it now... Ugh. It's lost.

    Lost! What a great show. You really have to see next weeks episode. It's really really good. There's a big cliffhanger at the end. I was just like AARRGGH!! I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Very cool episode.

    Anyway, there really was no point to this blog. I went to grannys today, and that's it. This looks like a very boring weekend at the minute. I'm off to make it more exciting. Adios.
    September 25

    Don't go back to Dalston

    Hilo everyone. Well done to Aaron for getting the year the fridge was invented. No-one knew that the first person to ever say 'period' on television was indeed COURTNEY COX. Bet you didn't know that. I've become slightly annoyed lately at the lack of blogging. Makes me envious of Aaron's space. But I'm not going to do a link there. Muwhahaha! Ahem. Anyway, let's do this random facts competition.

     1. Spike Lee and Woody Allen have both named one of their (separate) children ________. (Lol those children would so get beaten up at school)

     
    2. Bob Geldof's nickname at school was _______ ______.

     So anyway, I think I'll blabber on a bit. On Friday we did a titration in chemistry. I worked with Nick, and even though we (he) ended up throwing our experiment in the bin, we actually did it quite right. It actually worked, which I was proud of. Not much else happened in school. After school I felt kind of hungry so I ate quite a bit. Fascinating. Anywa,y then I went to tom's house, and mucked about, screwed up their self made see-saw, which was fun, and tom tried to make a seat in a tree, which didn't really work. Later I went round to Eoin's house, and I met Bert, Eoin's trampopoline. I also played mercenaries at Eoin's house, which is very cool, although I'm really rubbish at it.

     Saturday- Went to the deli, saw Alex Hibberts, another fascinating fact. Afterwards went to tom's house and then tino town with Tom, Eoin and Daniel. Daniel's guitar was acting up so he was carting round his guitar and amp, i'm sure he was getitng some weird looks. I discovered another matchett's music, which is much more rocky rather than classical, very cool. What else did we do... Nothing really. We planned to go into Linwoods to annoy Corrie, who apparently works there; but we forgot. Oh well. The plan was ot go bowling, but Daniel and i decided against it, but Tom, Eoin and Marianne went anyway. So I went to Daniel's house, and that's pretty much all that happened on Saturday. Oh, and Eddi'es party was on, but I couldn't be bothered to go. Apparently people were drunk, stuff happened, usualy party, except he pretended it was cancelled to stop crashers, so it wasn't a big party, one of the reasons I wasn't going.

     Sunday- I got up, went to Mass, and that's it.

     I've noticed tha ton a lot of people's spaces, people do poems they've written, so I've decided I mgith do that aswell, if I ever write poems. And I also might scan in some of my random doodles every now and then. But don't expect them very often, because I dont usually write poems.

    I've got razorlight: don't go back to dalston repeatedly going through my head, it's very good.

     <End pointless blog>

     
    UPDATE:
    Actually, the fridge was invented in 1855, so Aaron and Donal are both wrong. Anyway, I'm just back from Pride and Prejudice with my english class. I thought it was rubbish, although quite a few thought it was good. I spent most of the time being bored and mucking about. I saw sitting in the chair wiht my feet between two chairs, and then people sat down in them and my foot was stuck, so I spent ages trying to get it out, took me ages, was funny, allso Kriss was throwing popcorn about and ended up dumping a bucket of it over Aaron's head. Also, I drew this random picture of a 'rock' concert, very random indeed actually. Also, for anyone who doesn't know, it isn't a real turtle, it's a clay model. Two best suggestions so far are from Shelley: Frankenstein and Donatello. Many thanks. I get my random facts in a random place which you can only find if you're in a random mood... Yeah.. I'm off. Adios.
