    Ugh, my heart is in my mouth. Why do I always have to take risks right before I go to bed!? I won't know how it turns out until the morning but I won't be able to sleep easy until I know. Grumble grumble.

    Today was SUCH a delightfully sunny day. Sandwiches and ice cream in Stephen's Green tomorrow for lunch if this keeps up! :D

    What did you do ? :-p

    I love microwave popcorn.....a bit too much :/

    Online dating is extremely difficult when you judge boys on their spelling and punctuation rather than what they're actually saying..

    There is a difference between someone just being a poor speller with poor grammar and people who use text speak deliberately.

    The former is forgiveable. The later is cringeworthy.

    What genuinely makes me cringe is when I see people that have listed some form of education as their profession and use text speak.

    you=u

    too=2

    stuff like that is fine if its a short text or you're writing in a hurry, but the "omg,hd a gud tym lst nite babez cnt wait 2 c u agn lol xxxxXXxX"=instaturnoff.

    Well it's a matter of opinion really, whether it's forgivable or not. Personally, I find bad spelling in general a turn off.

    Myself and my boyfriend went to Dollymount Strand last year on one of our first dates, was an awesome day, lying by the beach on a hot day, ahh bliss.
    Dollymount strand. :pac:
    Only live about 20 minutes walk to the seafront. :)

    I've never been to Galway but after such nice descriptions of it in this thread I'll have to pop over at some stage. (plus I hear there is cake..) :cool:

    It's probably because I'm a grammar Nazi by profession but bad grammar is the biggest turn off. I have a friend on Facebook who constantly uses he's instead of his and it gets me far angrier than it should.

    I was just out in my garden and saw a beautiful crescent moon beside one really bright star and had to marvel at how wonderful the sky looked. :)
    I love the moon. I love the rhythm of it, new moon, crescent moon, half moon, full moon... new moon, crescent moon and so on forever... I find the moon very comforting. :o

    The star close to the moon is Jupiter! Apparently for the last month, Jupiter, Venus and the moon have been really close together in the sky. Lovely!

    What makes me happy today: I got completely stressed out yesterday when we realised that I was entitled to get a whole pile of money on the birth of the baby, and I didn't know about it so of course I never filled out the forms (me being a foreigner and no-one telling you things). Got on to the social welfare there now, and apparently I can get the money backdated, phew!

    Have to take tomorrow off work to look after the baby because he has a sticky eye. The little funboy is in otherwise fine fettle though, I just got a text from fellow parent to say that he just said, "Daddy I piggled in the tent, okay?"

    The ensuing hysterics from Mike made the poor chap burst into tears.

    Aw. <3 He has now informed Daddy that he has no interest in ever using the toilet but will consider the bath as an alternative. :pac:

    With my lovely man 6 years soon,
    Time flies huh ?

    Thinking of this because I kinda wanna go to the registry office and tie the knot before herself is born, so she could have what I never had growing up.
    I know i wanna be with this man forever, he has been my friend since primary school and my lover since i was 18 but the other half of me who has been saving for 4 years for my wedding Italy wants to wait till i finish my degree.
    hmmm pesky decisions.

What the hell is wrong with people???!!! He didn't even get a snog off me and he thinks I want to look at pictures of his willy first thing on a Monday morning???

    Very true, it was only gonna be a small wedding abroad for my nearest and dearest, couldn't expect that expense of anyone. Kinda wanna be able to pay for all my familys flights to cut down costs for them.
    weddings are mostly for other people though aren't they? marriage is the whole point, but somehow people over shadow that commitment by wondering what band you'll have,

    Afternoon loungers! tempted to take my laptop and college work out in the sun for a bit!

    Have had a busy morning of getting quotes for my car repairs, and talking to the insurance. Good news is my crowd will definitely be claiming off his crowd :D have an assessor coming out from my insurance crowd round lunch time, as the quote for the damage is pretty high. I've my fingers crossed that he'll say it's not worth being fixed.

    Kindle is the best thing ever for sitting outside in the sunshine, no heavy book to hold and awkward page turning. Yes I'm lazy ;) but that's the whole point of being lazy and sitting in the sun!

    Also, no backlight (like other "swisher" tablet things) so you can read inthe sun easier!

    boneyarsebogman: I love real books too, but when you read 100+ books a year, and live in an apartment, storage is a big problem (and I can't sell English language books here)
