Hope everyone is enjoying the break, I know I am, it’s been hard to adjust to quiet, peace and relaxation after a few hectic weeks of trying to get all my college work done (which I did do btw! ) And as a treat here is a website that i had to create as part as one of my assignments. Enjoy. ([link])*
I must say this year the build up to Christmas in Dublin was great(even if it did start in November!) I guess it was all the hustle and bustle, with work and shopping and atmosphere around college. Being home now I am missing it. I have decided to make a list of my favourite places to be in Dublin to cheer me up (some are worth a visit from anyone who visits Ireland, some are festively suitable and others are purely personal )
1. Waltons Music Shop
Found this one day when I was on an exploration of Dublin City and needed a place to shelter from the rain. I love this place! As I don’t have unlimited access to a piano this year I love to spend hours in Waltons here and there. I can pick from numerous wonderful pianos and just sit down and tinkle away to my heart’s content! I always leave there feeling uplifted.
2. Wild Child & Harlequin
Both are vintage clothes shops and I love them! I adore how things are always different with every visit and anything you buy is truely original unlike most of the highstreet stores. Wild Child is slightly more affordable on my student budget but Harlequin is fantastical. Like stepping into another world or back in time-haaaa class!!!
3. Butler’s Chocolate Café
I am now addicted to Oreo Hot Chocolate.
4. Dublin Bus
Okay this is a weird one. But I do spend an awful lot of time commuting from my aunt’s house to college everyday and I have come to love sitting in the very front seat on upstairs and looking out the window while listening to my ipod. It’s like relaxation time that I’m obliged to take!
5. Grafton Street
Sweet mother I have never seen anything so magical in all my life-the Christmas lights are something else!! The twinkle and sparkle and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside! I especially love them after a night out on the town, when the street is almost empty and the lights just twinkle all yellow and friendly in the sharp cold air-awwwww!!!
6. Phoenix Park
A wonderful tree lined, green spaced, deer habitat, lanterned haven in the midst of all the traffic and confusion. I love the smell of the autumn leaves.

But it is good to be home. I was greeted by a snow covered, winter wonderlandscape-always a good to win back one’s heart after Dublin-the snow could never be better anywhere else! ([link])
I had a lovely Christmas too, quiet but lovely (only family as with snow comes the price of no one being able to travel!) The list of Santy treats goes as follows:
-Monty Python Boxset (“We are the Knights that say Ni! Peng!! And Nuuuong!!” )
-jewellery,fluffy socks, body lotion and chocolate
-Perfume (Anais Anais which I just adore!)
-Beatles Documentary on DVD
-Mini radio so I can keep up to date on news for my journalistic benefit
-A beautiful paint set that I shall put my paint skills to good use again with very soon
-oh and I also got....PAUL MCCARTNEY TICKETS!!!!! Twas a wonderful early Christmas present as I went last Sunday and oh my goodness I cannot express how totally incredible it was!!! I actually saw a Beatle. A REAL LIFE BEATLE GODDAMMIT!!! http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/28739153/ Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:43:04 PST I feel ashamed its been so long! Where the hell have I been and what the hell have I been doing?? College was never ever in my mind supposed to take up so much time that I can no longer do anything remotely close to artwork or music....
I love college. I'm really having a great time, new city, new system of learning, new people, new experiences. But is that all a good thing if I'm not getting to do the things that make me so happy? Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy in college, in fact I feel happy most of the time, which is saying something for my very emotional self! But I can't help but get that little niggling feeling that I'm losing something about myself that I never even anticipated losing. Is that crazy?
I went to paint the other day. Had taken the time to pick out and buy the perfect canvases that week and made myself time to just sit down and... paint! But I was scared to! I just made rough outlines of things, water-washed backgrounds, dawdled around what picture I was going to pick to paint. I'm think that I'm scared to discover that I'm so out of practice that I can no longer paint...
Thing is, I have no desire to paint. That sounds bad when I say it, but what I mean is I don't get ideas or inspiration to start a project like I used to-my mind just goes blank. And I'm kinda starting to feel a little panicky or slightly worried about it. Am I actually losing interest or is it just artist's block?
I don't get excited by music like I used to either. Sure I know that I'm in love with Queen, the Beatles, David Bowie, Billy Joel. But I just don't feel like I am, if that makes any sense? Take this for instance-I have the actual pleasure and privilege to be going to see Paul McCartney (and actual real life BEATLE!!) on the 20th of Dec. I have not got genuinely excited about it once. What has gone wrong here?? Of course I cant wait to go, but I have (or used to have) this insane obsessional quality where I'd research every last song, lyric, interview, personal life detail, right down to the colour of socks of an artist! Hasn't happened yet.
Deep, right, I can't help it, and this particular occasion is worse than usual as I haven't had an outpour in a long while. But I don't think I'm being overly sensitive here, I'm just wondering if I'm just going through a phase or am I just leaving behind two hobbies that were good while they lasted..?..I hope not....

Anyway just a small note to apologise for my neglect of artwork and comment/critique(UNDER PRESSURE!!) I have been so so busy with college (which I am absolutely loving by the way-I'M HAVING A BALL!!) that I havn't had a chance to even think about a new art project! I will make a big effort to turn my attention to something soon but I can make no promises.....I only hope I havn't lost the ability to paint! (ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!)

SO DEAR FRIENDS, I shall speak again soon, hopefully naxt time with a new submission.
Jill

i've been pretty busy over the past week: moving to dublin to live with my cousin's family as i start college tomorrow. have been here for the past week just getting used to the place and sussing out my future home-a BIG change to my little country village let me tell you!!(they actually have public transport!! )

went to coldplay concert last monday and i must say it was magnificent!!! and i'm not even that big of a fan but my god did it rock!

bleh, been feeling pretty run down between going out in this new city, concerts and generally adjusting that i'm feeling quite under the weather. not only does my voice sound like that of a pubescant boy(or a hoarse prostitute-funny how those can sound so alike...) but i'm sniffling and sneezing at a fierce rate and am having miniature panic attacks although i have made no conscious decision that i'm in anyway nervous about starting college in a new city. infact i seem more worked up and anxious about the fact that i feel like shit and i don't seem to be getting better but progressivly worse..... i'm hoping with the help of a brief settling in period that i'll soon calm down...

and omg the most amazing thing happened! i have actually found someone who (thats not on the internet-don't worry i still adore you guys!) has the same exquisite music taste as myself! how wierd and wonderful it is to converse aloud different songs and musicians that no one else i know even seem to have heard of! happy days....


and i'm developing a huge love for the beatles. okay a boderline obsession actually. i think i'm in love(for love is all you need) why oh why do i live in a time of unorigional and socially stunting music???

P.s. i may not be on this for a while as college means i will be very busy so if i don't get around to commenting on new artworks, journals or indeed putting up my own i promise i will try my best to catch up soon!

[link] THE SAME PERSON! i couldn't believe it when i all of a sudden made the connection when watching Rocky a few nights ago! Brad use to be hot...the mayor-was not! i now feel confused.....

The bat that i believed to be dead is infact only lying dormant. Meatloaf is bringing out a new album in 2010. Featuring Brian May. SWEET! in fairness if you're gonna come back you may as well do it in style.

9th Sept-The Beatles remastered albums!!

College starts Sept 21st-oh freedom sweet freedom!
okay i'm excited but also scared shitless-but it has to happen some time right?

Going to see Coldplay on the 14th which really is gonna rock.

boohoohoo my skin has gone to shit!

Learning to drive these days and i'm almost becoming good. have a little banger of a car that i'm practicing in. had kocked over a few kerb stones and drove into the ditch once or twice but i think i'm progressing...

oooh i love brian may... [link]

End of Big Brother!!! FOREVER!!! thank fuck!! i can't stand it plaguing the television channels ever fricken hour of the day!!!

AH!! a bulb just blew!

the new Harry potter film in my opinion is the biggest let down. nothing flowed properly, too many bits were cut and completely stupid bits were made up and put in for no reason at all, and i'm sorry but you'd think after 6 films some of the actors would actually know haw to act by now.....
The last harry Potter book is so completely AMAZING!!!! they better not fuck that one up...




there, i think i've made my point. thanks for listening.

Monday morning. had to get up at 4o'clock in the morning to catch an early flight (which i think always makes it more exciting don't you think??) so my sister and I left a dark, wet and cold Ireland having packed all our thermals, wooly jumpers, coats etc., only to be greeted by fantastic weather!!
Our hotel was in the Kensington area which is such a beautiful part of the city! our room wasn't quite ready having arrived at about 9 in the morning so off we went for a sunny morning walk in Hyde Park(wooo Queen venue!) and Kensington Gardens. its just breath taking there! but boy was it hot!! and after shedding a few of our many layers of clothes we dragged ourselves back to the hotel...
We decided we were much too tired to walk for the rest of the day so a big open bus tour was next. i'd recommend this as the best way to see the city! so with the sun shining and a recording of info on every landmark we passed,(free earphones and everything!) Marble arch, Oxford Street, St. Pauls Cathedral, John Nash Arcitechture, Big ben, Tower bridge, London Eye, Westminster Abbey-all this very touristy stuff that i supppose most people find boring but i just love it!! i love heaering all about the history of buildings and places and our camera was snapping continuosly!
The evening involved a very long search for the MASSIVE Topshop on Oxford street which we walked up and down about 3 times (and found out afterwards that its like a mile and a half long!!) looking for(and it was so worth it when we did-its like a fricken art gallery! *swoon*)

Tuesday. Another fantastic, hot, sunny day (i know i'm so caught up on this but Ireland's summer has been the wettest, coldest feck up of a summer so this was a big deal!) got up early and went back out on our bus tour, this time to get off at the different land marks: Hamleys toy store (a bit of a let down if i'm being honest), Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, etc. made a trip to the national gallery which is so amazing! there's a wonderful square with massive fountains outside and i saw lots of stunning art (including some that i had studied for my leaving cert, so i felt proud!) and also some of my favourites such as Monet, Van Gough(Sunflowers!! ) and Rembrahnt.
That evening me shopped some more on oxford St. where there was also a fantastic street performance of a guy who was playing guitar, drums and harmonica all at the same time whilst singing(such a cool guy, kinda Jimi hendrix meets Phil Lynott!) and then ......WE WILL ROCK YOU!!!! it was so totally amazing, even better than the first time!!! admitidly the seats weren't the best but it did't matter! we laughed, we sobbed, and we sang our hearts out!! and it was over all too soon....:tear)

Wednesday. (Sunny and sweltering hot! ) we went to Notting Hill which is such a GORGEOUS town!! my favorite shops were her-second hand record and dvd/video stores (wooo Rocky Horror Picture Show and Highlander both for about £8!), vintage clothing shops, art shops, used comic book shops, it was fantastic! and then of course there was Portebello market which has such a lovely buzz. we looked for the famous Travel Book Shop where we had planned to ask for Winnie the Pooh or the new John Grisham thriller. but alas, we couldn't find it...
next was Garden Lodge. we took pictures, we wrote messages (i saw Tinis message!) we hung around for a while but i felt kinda uncomfortable, like we were loitering or something...it was a poignant moment i can't quite describe it....i just saw the door and my stomach lurched and my heart was thumping wildly...
Money was running out fast so we went to Leister Sq. and just hung out there for a while to kill some time (inexpensively!) until the second show we were going to see started-Chicago. It was fantastic. Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child fame played the character of Roxie Harte and it was just amazing-set, cast, choreography, band-just class!!

Thursday. (not so sunny but still warm. ~jillywillywoo http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/26628529/ http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/26628529/ Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:32:00 PDT

got my leaving cert results on wednesday!!!! what a fecking great relief!! a tortuous year at school but i'm really really happy with the result. got and A1 in Irish and Art and pass maths, a B1 in French(je ne le crois pas!!!) and Biology, and a B2 in History and English(ho my fricken god what???? ) this means that i overall got 530points (the most you can get is 600) and its more than enough to get the course i applied for in college. roll on college i say!!!

anywho as my late birthday present and i suppose an exam success reward my parents said i could have a trip somewhere so i naturally chose London and i'm off there tomorrow!!! i can't bloody wait!! WWRY, Garden Lodge, Notting Hill....oo oo oo excitment!

will be back in four days my lovies!

Ten things I wish I could say to people:

1) I know i havn't known you that long but i really want to thank you for how welcome you've made me feel and for helping me out without getting frustrated. i know i get things wrong a lot but i feel that you understand that mistakes happen-its human. and i love you for making me laugh so much. i really enjoy our little chats.

2) You're a cheeky bugger but i really have missed you.

3) I can't do this anymore, its time for you to make your own way in the world-you're not always going to have me to hide behind when you can't face something. we've had some fun times but we've both changed-i can no longer stand your constant paranoia and low self esteem while constantly having our friendship on your terms only-i have helped you beyond belief but you have to just step up to the challenge on your own from now on. a friendship should not involve one person constantly being careful of what they say or do for fear of the other lashing out or holding a grudge-grudges never got anyone anywhere-either get whats bothering you off your chest or move on. MOVE ON!!

4) I love you more than i can possibly say but there are times when i wish you'd be a little more understanding. you are very quick to judge people, mostly people you don't even know andits not a nice trait to have. you have to realise that not everything you think is nessecarily the right or true.

5) You don't really know me but you intruige me. i really think that you are a wonderful person and i'd only love to get to know you better.

6) I love you. There i've said it, i think you are the most wonderful, kind, selfless and caring person i've ever met and i can only hope that whatever you do in life that you are exceedingly happy.

7) I wish you would take my feelings seriously. I don't care if you we're only messing, the point is that what you do does hurt me and therefore its not just a joke anymore. i don't think you realise just how bad you can make me feel-please please be more sensitive.

8) Listen, you are one of my best friends-you make me laugh so much and i feel like i can tell you anything but i have to be honest with you-what happened last night should never have happened, i can't be more than just your friend-it doesn't feel right. i'd hate to ruin the wonderful friendship we had before-can we please forget about this?

9) You are my best friend and friends are honest with eachother. i can't stand how rude you can be. you pass it off as being straight forward and strong but i think that is a pathetic excuse for how you lie to, snap at and treat other people. you are completely selfish with absolutely no regard for wht may be on someone elses agenda-just as long as it suits you you're not bothered. and as the person you confide in most i feel insulted that you still don't know me well enough that you think i'm impressed by certain things you do. i have nothing against what you decide to do for fun but please have the decency to know that i don't enjoy talking about it.

10) Oh sorry for having annoyed you your "majesty" i guess i was under the impression that your job as a receptionist on the phones was to help and inform people but i was wrong, it won't happen again!!

Nine things about myself:

1) I think way too much. i over analyse, relive, daydream and plan so much that i actually annoy the shite outa myself. because of my over active thinking i'm a worrier and worry about my future all the time.
2) I am a complete neat freak. i just can't relax in a cluttered room. and i can feel myself being irritated more and more if something goes uncleaned day after day. i also find pleasure from cleaning and tidying itself. its wierd its like a sort of stress release!!
3) I can be a very independent and isolated person. its by choice, i don't mind it, i sometimes just get so lost in my own head and enjoy my own company rather than the company of others. but i can also drive myself crazy like that!
4) I am very trusting of people whom i've just met, and it really is bad for me. I confide things in people early on and regret it very much soon after. its not what their reaction to it is or that they spread it around but the fact that something that is important to me has suddenly lost all its meaning because i gave out the information so freely and that person didnt think much of it....
5) Music is a huge part of my life. its kinda lik... ]]> ~jillywillywoo http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/26215539/ http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/26215539/ Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:02:20 PDT

anywho I havn't really got time lately for birthday art but i promise that brian(who i apologise purfusely to for almost forgetting his bday) and roger tributes will happen sometime in the future!


oh and hi again everyone, i'm back from hols, had a lovely time.

my summer is going well. the weather isn't exactly ideal but i don't mind. infact we had such a downpour of rain on tuesday but i found it rather comforting... i was in the middle of thunder lightning and sheets of rain while at camogie training (has anyone heard of the Irish sport hurling?? camogie=girl version)and although soaked to the skin i felt really refreshed!! and then things got scary when we got home-the rain had pelted so hard that our road surface had been ripped clean off!! now we live on a mountain, and our road is hilly, windy, turny, with grass in the middle and has seen its fair share of rain induced potholes but never have i seen anything like this!! the tarmac was buckled and rucked like as if there had been an earth quake, and pieces of the road had floated away so that they now reside in the ditch-rather dramatic weather for july! but does anyone just love that feeling of feling safe and warm at home after facing the harsh elements? i guess it made me feel poetic...
anywho i'm going to the west for my holidays this year (all trips abroad have been cancelled pending the end of this thing called the recession! ) so i hope weather conditions improve somewhat! and i'm without internet for a week!!! so i prob won't get a chance to wish Roger-HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY!!! (which i think is the 26th??) roger, unfortunately i have no artwork done for you but i will try my best to do it soon, my love!
right not quite sure what i've just written sounds like, nor am i bothered reading back over it so if you have come this far thanks for listening to nothing...
how are all your summers going?

i can't quite describe this new found freedom. i can actually do what i want now without feeling guilty and thinking that i should be studying! its amazing!! i've dumped ALL my books, notes and folders in a huge box and locked them away in the attic!! then i rearranged my whole room so i doesn't remind me of how i used to study there all the time!!! its great to finally have all my queen pics up again!!

so anyway now that i'm free i can't quite think of what else i wanna do!! any wacky suggestions???


oh and i promised :iconTini91plz: that i'd do this:

The Elton John Concert:
it was amzing!!! i went with my parents last saturday and boy were we worried! my mom had gotten my dad tickets for christmas and was so excited after the queen concert about how cool it was to stand instead of sit, she went ahead and booked them here too!! but the only problem(in this wonderful country of ours!!) was the RAIN!! and how my dad would take it....

anyway we got there four hours early so to get a good place and we ended up about 10m from the stage!! the atmophere was fantastic. two big screens with flashing elton faces in that kind of andy worhol style-really cool. the rain was light but persistent, so by the time the chronic support act came out we were pretty damp, but our spirits weren't. teddy thompson was his name i think and he is the dreariest act i have ever seen!! he seemed to just strum and sing to himself as if he was in his room or something!! he actually said when he was about to go "ok i'm gonna finish up with a song about suicide now.." wtf???

but he just made eltons grand entrance all the more grand!!! his wonderful band and his shiny black piano, the lights and his amazing stage presence-i'l never forget it!! i couldn't beleive my eyes with his piano playing, especially since my hands were frozen in my pockets! and i dunno i was just so impressed!! usually thinking about elton i'm like-o ya he plays killer piano and has amazing songs- but here i couldn't beleive my ears!!! he has such a FANTASTIC voice!!! so amazing!!

my favourite songs on the night had to be: Bennie and the Jets, Honky Cat, Tiny Dancer, Crocodile Rock--everyone was jumping for those!! and of course Candle in the Wind was met with due respect-i was mesmerised. he was the only one on the stage for that one, and he had every single person staring at him and his piano-pure class!!
he thanked us all for coming out in the rain to see him and i couldn't deny, standing there wet to the skin, but that it had been so worth it!! and even my dad thought so!!


anywho how are all my deviant buddies??

anyway, had my last day of school EVER yesterday: their was a graduation mass in the evening to celebrate it. was really nice, we sang (I played piano) and all our parents and teachers were there and i dunno....i can't put my finger on how i feel. obviously i CANT WAIT to get out of the place but i have spent 6yrs of my life there so u'd think that i'd feel a little emotional....but i don't at all!!! i guess i did kinda almost cry when there was a slideshow of photos of us through the years (don't stop me now was one of the backing songs i'm proud to say!) but then the night out afterwards was....wel...crappy! but in a way i'm glad-i know now that i definitely WON'T miss any of class 09!! i don't know why i ever thought i would either....i never really liked the year....but i will really miss my teachers...is that wierd??


o gosh here i go pouring out a stream of consciousness again!! don't mind me, how are all of you??

FINISHED!! :evil laugh:

but what i'm trying to say is that i won't be online very often as its really a distraction to me!! (although i love it dearly!! ) so if i'm not participating in Queen conversation, deviating, or announcing my roger fantasies-PLEASE don't forget me!!!! i will be back again every so often!!!

so, i love all you crazy queenies and deviators and hopefully it won't be too long til i'm back online again!!!!

The rules are following:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must put 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Tagged ones should write a journal about these facts.
4. At the end of the post tag 8 more deviants.
5. Go to their page telling them they're tagged.
6. No tagging back

1.My name is Jill and I live on a hill!!

2.Believe it or not, even though i'm Irish, I don't drink. all my friends do and they just can't figure out how i'm so wild on a night out without it!! its great though cause i remember everything, and i feel great in the morning!

3.I own over 30 pairs of shoes!! (i'm a bit of a shopping lunatic!!)

4.I'm known in my village (yes i live in a village!) for my nail painting skills and have done many feet and nail art!! my sunset designs are my speciality!!

5.I often dream in Irish and sometimes i wake up laughing. its kinda creepy....

6.I have a severe allergy to dust mites and once had a very embarressing sneezing fit in an irish class at school!! the more i sneezed the more everyone laughed and the more my teacher got annoyed!!

7.As you probably already know i'm totally obsessed with queen, and last oct had the great fortune of seeing them in concert in sheffield!!! but other than that (i say with shame) the only other concert i've been to is ......westlife!! (and for those of you who don't know who they are, they're an irish BOYBAND!!! but i was 10yrs old so it doesn't count!!)

8. I have never had a boyfriend but i have been so totally in love with this one guy for almost 6yrs....


okay now i tag:

aahhhh easter on sunday......and you know what that means.....CHOCOLATE!!!
could there be a sexier food on earth!?!?!

anywho as u've probably figured out at this stage, i don't have a whole lot to say so i just wanted to bid you all hello. any news, gossip, scandal, randomness??

]]> ~jillywillywoo http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/23688726/ http://jillywillywoo.deviantart.com/journal/23688726/ Sat, 14 Mar 2009 05:55:21 PDT in ireland. its so rare i've almost forgotten what its like. i found my phone yesterday after a week and a day of searching. i'm doing well in most subjects(except for french!) and i never thought i'd say this but i'm actually beginning to enjoy that place they call school! things are pretty good.

and i also watched "chocolat" last nite. nothing could get you in a better mood! why? well because;
1. its a movie about chocolate
2. Johnny Depp is in it.

Whats not to love??

and best of all, i have a LONG weekend. friday til tuesday! thank God for St.Patricks Day!! i've never really liked paddy's day-its always really corny! ppl dressing up in green, aran sweaters, with shamrock hanging out of their ears and dancing around like leprechauns and saying things like "oh begosh begorah!" and singings things like "diddly aye!" and getting drunk!

well thats the perception anyway!

anywho jst wanna wish those of you who celebrate or who have ever heard of it, a HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY! and for those who've never heard of it you're probably betr off!

i've tried everything: retracing my steps, ringing it(although its on silent so thats a bit pointless!),searching my car, asking the driver of my school bus if he's seen it(who subsequently interrogated everyone he has on the bus and proceeded to search under all the seats the poor man!) and still I can't find it anywhere. I'm not like a lot of people I know, in that i am not surgicaally attatched to my phone at all times, but its so fricken typical! i don't want to spent like all the money i have on a new one even though i have no choice but to get a new one. all my numbers are gone, my photos(including great close-ups of brian may at the concert I went to! ) a cute little charm that my aunt and uncle brought back from vietnam, and not to mention i have a lot of credit left that has now gone to waste!

I know it may seem like i'm making a huge fuss over something little. but do you know when u make a mistake so stupid that u just feel like kicking yourself and crying with frustration because u can't believe u could do something so stupid??

anyway the point i'm trying to make here is that anyone else has a story of losing something valuabe(phone or otherwise) that results in a happy ending please share! optimism is the only thing that can find the wretched thing for me now!!

Yes the leaving cert is a bitch and i'd be a LIAR if i said it is gonna be easy. but there's just a few months left of the place i hate so much and it will be a test to my staying power. So for now i'll make do with the worn out rock n roll scene that is school. So dear friends take this message of love and know that my feelings are true.....
I'm always feeling under pressure; study, homework, deadlines, teachers, parents. its a sheer heart attack sometimes!!! my irish teacher is a real killer queen, you'd be stone cold crazy to mess with her! My history teacher is a fairy fella, my french teacher is not in the pink, my english teacher simply doesnt have a clue!! i'm going slightly mad with all this exam/recession talk!! i just wish i could tie my mother down sometimes the way she nags me to study! I am very self motivated and if she asks me to study all of a sudden i'm studying for her, not for me and that really annoys me. Let me live! Leave me alone!! is this really the world we've created?? but all this said, i no there's no escape from reality--so i'm gonna carry on, carry on....
my pledge is to concentrate on wat is good, what i enjoy and what makes ME happy. I'm in love with my art teacher-shes a sweet lady and makes school life a littl more bareable. my irish teacher may be ga ga but i know that without her i won't get my best results. When things do turn bad you know i'll never be lonely because friends will be friends--and my friends are the best. now i feel annoyed at my mother but its her job-mother love and all. freedom of college is not long away and then i do know i'll miss her! Shes got to be the loser in the end!
right now its a hard life, the leaving cert is no seaside rendez vous. But i can't wait for college!!! though its many months away i can hear it calling me!! I want it now! so everything i do from now on is driven by that!
so my melancholy blues have to stop.I have so much to be thankful for: great frineds and family who give me care and attention,my art and my music and also hope and dreams of college life. these last few months will be over in a FLASH! So i'm not gonna complain; i will rock these exams! in four and a half months when surfs up and schools out I can spread my wings and fly like a rocket ship on my way to mars! SAIL AWAY SEET SISTER! and when its all over maybe i'll find myself somebody to love, buy myself a pair of new purple shoes, get a new carborator, go painting in the louvre!! cos i have the power to love, to live you can't say it ain't right!!

thank you to Queen and u deviant queenies! your an inspiration. xx

hhmmmmm so my mind is in a tangle a lot lately. the problems that come with school and growing up-it sucks!!! its so hard to make decisions that are gonna basically affect the rest of your life!! what kind of career path to take:something you enjoy at the risk of not finding employment?? or something thats steady and that will provide a decent wage during these strained economic times??

sometimes it feels like the universe just piles on the pressure...like it wants to prevent u from bein happy......or to get really thoughtful and deep and start harping on and on and on like me!

anyways for those of u who've actually read this--sorry for sounding so depresssing! i promise the next journal will be more upbeat! 8D

Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
because you don't know,
what it means to me.

Love of my life don't leave me,
You've stolen my love, you now desert me,
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
because you don't know
what it means to me.


You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side
to remind you
how I still love you - i still love you.

Back - hurry back,
Don't take it away from me,
because you don't know
what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life...
