Ramblings

While I was on tour I took to writing again. I saw alot of things on my travels that inspired me. This is just something about a girl I knew once. Her name was Ana.

................................................................................

Splitting headache and she's cold to the bone.
Shoulders are weighed down with the weight of a thousand years.
Salty tears sting her chapped lips.
But she cannot stop, nor can she let you know how tired she is from walking miles in uncomfortable shoes.

Minutes feel like days and every day that passes she gets a year older.
She is a million years old and the lines of her face tell stories of the sea.
She is love with the idea of being in love.
A feeling more fantastical than has ever been known.

She wants it all and she wants it now.
And sometimes she gets the fleeting feeling of infinity,
It courses through her veins faster then a bullet train.
But its there, it's always been there.

She walks down streets and passes the faces of people she knows but cannot recognise.
It makes no sense.
Headache grows with her confusion.
The pace of her daily routine is neither stationary, fast or slow.
But a combination of all three.

Black cats, lucky 13, horse shoes.
Fortune, favour and love.

It makes no sense how a relationship like this can be such a false friend.

if there's a god in the sky

only he can judge me, so until my dying day stay the fuck out of my face.

I love Cold World. This song in particular is pretty relevant to me right now.

Have Heart


I hadn't been as excited in a long time about seeing a band.
I spent over four hours getting back to Dublin in time for the show and it lived up to every expectation I had.

First up to play were Real Talk! I really enjoyed their set and I really feel its a shame that the boys are taking a break cuz the last couple of times Iv seen them play they've been really tight and I'v had a great time watching them. Also, I love Joebreaker.

Next were Find Away followed by Forging Friendships.
I was delighted to hear the good news that Forging Friendships will be releasing a record with Hurry up and B9. Its about time a band from our scene got recognised for their amazing talent and dedication to hardcore. It made me really proud. Well done boys.

And Lastly, Have Heart. Im rarely one to sing at shows but I was so excited about this show that I knew I'd end up losing my shit.
The show was incredible. Flynner was rad and pretty much all the songs I wanted to hear and that actually meant something to me personally were played and I was completely blown away.
Thanks amillion to everyone who made it happen. I had one of the best nights of my life.
Love you guys.

Kitties

I WANT ONE SO FUCKING BAD!!!!
I want a ginger one so that I can call him marmalade. Olivia's friend from college rescued a blind kittie from the shelter and called the kittie Nuala or some shit. I would of called it 'super RAD cat' and his tagline would of been 'he maybe blind, but he's cute as fuck and super RAD'. For realzzzzz.

So rehearsals are finally gettin interesting. They're super draining too. Especially with all the singing and dancing and wanky shit I have to do.
I had a fitting for my costumes today, my cinderella costume is fucking ace.
I look like a proper princess!!!
And I also have to play Goldilocks breifly and one of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. and needless to say...I look like a complete wanker dressed up as the last three.
How embarassing. I give you all permission to point and laugh uncontrollably and mock me til the day I die, thats how ridiculous I look in these fucking costumes.
BAH!

I just had a class carton of cranberry juice. It was super.

I wish I was back in london. I just bought a new coat on the cheap off ebay cause Im sick of being freeeeeezing.
The end.

In the words of Bill Cullen, "YOU, are fired".

Ok, so I just got off the phone from my agent (how fucking fancy does that sound!??!!) and she was asking me how my play was going and all that kinda stuff. I told her it was great and that I'm really enjoying it. Then she told me that the producers and director were onto her and that they really liked me and that they were happy with my work and all that kinda rad stuff. I was chuffed.
Then she told me that two of the cast members are gonna be replaced by new people cuz they just "arn't working out", as it turns out, one of the people being recast and kicked outta the play is a guy that I went to college with. like, he's my friend.
what the fuck??!
So basically I have to go into rehearsals tomoro and pretend like I know nothing about how my friend is going to be fired!!
FUCKING MADNESS.
Seriously though, how ropey and sketchy is that? FUCK!!!!

Also in additions to yesterdays blog:
I wanna eat cherry pie at diners, go to rodeos in texas and drink coffee in central park.
-That one's for you, Holly :D

Iv never been to America and ever since Olivia has come home from her trip, Iv really wanted to go.

I want to go to the Grand Canyon in Arizona and drink tequila in Mexico, I want to rollarblade down sunset strip, I want to rent a winnebago and have a party somewhere along route 66, I wanna do all sorts of rad stuff! And I also wanna go to wal mart, just for the laugh.

Also, flights on AerLingus are dirt cheap at the minute! like under €200 to New York!

Blogggggggggg

Everyone's doing it these days and finally I have things interesting enough occuring in my life to make writing a blog actually worth while :P

Iv had the raddest weekend. I got to chill with friends and I also graduated from college.

Graduation was strange. It wasn't something that I was hughly looking forward to and the day itself was a huge anti climax. After three years of working my butt off, reading every book I could get my hands on and learning every script imaginable, staying in college every hour I could, extra rehearsals, masterclasses, all I got was a piece of paper. What a let down!!!

But after I was finished at the ceremony, I got to hang out with friends and the day wasn't a total waste :) And I had a really awesome time.

So as a few of you know I'm currently rehearsing for a play thats gonna be on during December.
Im super stoked on it. It's called 'A Fairytale Christmas'. This week we set into intensive rehearsals with putting choreography to the songs in the show and all that kind of jazz hand stuff.

Then come thursday I'm going to London for the weekend. IM SO FUCKING EXCITED :D!"£$%
Me and my lovely lisa are making the trip over and The one and only Holly Dale has offered us a place to crash. I cant wait!


Billie Jean is definately my favourite Micheal Jackson song and at the minute Im totally down with Jelly and icecream too.

I also cant stop listening to David Bowie and Bow wow wow. Sooooo goooood.

Also, Laterion Milton.......Hero!




'Its fun to do bad things'

:D

Yeah so Daraghs 21st was on Friday. It was the business. Man, I love Toga parties.
I had the raddest time. THANKS DARAGH!!!
