In The Playpen : Slow Show
-
27-06-2011 6:40pm#1Slow Show Is Awesome.
I know this girl for a year and a bit,
And we are very very close knit.
We've had so many really good times,
To be honest, I'm not exactly great at rhymes :P
But here we go, I write this poem,
for Slow Show...to C&H she's definitely known.
a regular contributor with great music taste,
She posts videos of Bon Iver without any haste.
The National, TDCC and bands I don't know,
I'm usually just like "lol, Justin Bieber, HELLLLLOO!?"
A Jizzler winner and a previous nominee,
On the right side of Allah in the pixified ferntree.Oh pixified ferntree,, on the right hand of Allah...have mercy on my soul!
zzzzzzzzzz
From hot GAA players to a love of old men,
her attempts to kill jumpguy fail again and again.
The Slow to my soccy, my bebz and me love,
Now let's ask her questions as push comes to shove.Tagged:20

As do I, although no one was meant to know of my plans to thwart jumpguy and therefore take over the world. *narrows eyes*
Isn't Thom Yorke amazing and brilliant? *nods*
Yes, yes he is.
Favourite Radiohead song?
Aaah toughie, probably Idioteque but closely followed by Talk Show Host/ Videotape/ Let Down. But yeah, I'm gonna go for Idioteque
Do hot GAA players really exist? o_O
Yes they do, although I admit lumping Colm Cooper in with the rest of them may have been going a bit too far. Also, I love that when I googled 'Hot GAA players' to re-enforce this, that thread came up. :P
Alan Freeman from Mayo ^^^ I really hope this image doesn't turn out to be huge.
If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would you choose? OK, High Violet - The National. Or maybe Boxer...or In Rainbows...No, High Violet, final answer! My work here is done.

Screaminmidget I'm not as up to date with hot GAA players as I should be so I can only really say Joe Canning, although he's losing his touch a bit.A band you think more people should listen to? My music taste isn't too obscure, but I have never met anyone in real life who has heard of Frightened Rabbit, so them.
Do you watch the Frontline?
On occasion, it clashes with Criminal Minds and The Walking Dead these days, and The Walking Dead will always win. Mhmmm.
Pat Kenny: Wooden or Real?
Real, I like old Patster.
Can you stop the recession?
I think if we increase revenue and decrease expenditure we'd be on the road to recovery. Wise words from a wise person.
Can you give me a well paying job?
How would you feel about checking under my bed for monsters and/or spiders?
Favourite school subject?
Hmmm... probably History or English, I've also recently begun to appreciate French and when Maths makes sense it's the best thing ever.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Oh God. I have no idea anymore. I used to, and still kinda, want to be a doctor of some sort but now I'm not so sure. I also think I'd like to be a Psychologist but that's probably not as fun as sitting on a comfy chair and asking everyone 'how does that make you feel?' And I wish there was a way to study History without having to become a teacher. Oh lordy, I really just shouldn't get started on this, I should have just said a hobo and have been done with.
(I also want to know who the hottest GAA player is...)
I feel like I've disappointed everyone.
:pac:

Justin Bieber or Justin Timberlake?
You're going to hate me forever, but Justin Timberlake.
Mickey Joe Harte or Chris Doran?
Mickey Joe Harte obviously, seeing as he actually features on my iPod.
Thoughts on the current Jo/Tommy affair in Fair City?
LOVE THIS. So after a slight lull in my Fair City dedication, I sat down to watch it on Sunday night. Now tbh, I think Tommy falls into the category of 'strangely cute older men' whereas Jo is just...ugh, go away Jo, no one likes it when you make that annoying 'uh' noise. So I don't know what Tommy sees in her, and his doctor wife is actually not the worst. Anyway, I think it's eventually going to end in tears because as we saw on Sunday, Jo is kind of repulsed by Dermot and his wooing abilities, whereas it's clear that Tommy still feels for Judith. I think Jo will want to run away with Tommy (WHAT ABOUT BENJAMIN?!) but he'd never leave his family, and it will end with both of them, or at least Jo, getting hurt. And the thought of a romantic weekend away with Dermot makes me feel a little sick...
Ever own a pet? If so what was/is its name?
Not really, I've had a number of goldfish in my time. Squirtle stands out, he died after I kindly gave him a Chickatee. Poor dude.
A sub from subway or a hot chicken roll from the local centra/spar/mace? A sub from Subway...I haven't had Subway in ages *drools*.atavan-halen wrote: »Where did you get your username from?
It was NOT a tactical ploy for the Jizzlers
. Although if it was, it worked rather well >.>What was the strangest dream you can remember?
I had this one when I was like nine when I woke up in a weird time machine/coffin/portal thing in Iraq and my mam was there too and there was also some dude in a clown suit and we were running away from soldiers in Iraq and we had to get back to the portal but then we had to camouflage ourselves in the woods but we had the clown so that hampered our plans a little. I think I woke up around that point, absolutely terrified. I was an odd nine-year-old, I'm pretty sure I had that dream because I was reading an article in a newspaper about how Ireland was surely next to be bombed after the July 7th bombings in London. /weird.
What is the most utterly pointless thing you've ever done?
Live.
DEEEEEEEP.
Cheese - yay or nay?
Yay, especially the blocks of it but when I get them I eat too much and feel sick and my breath is horrible so now I don't eat them anymore. True story.
At what age did you learn how to type fast?
Around ten I'd say.
Will you ever succeed in killing jumpguy?
Muahahahaha, be afraid, be very afraid.
I want to hurry home to you, put on a slow, dumb show for you, and crack you up.0 -

I couldn't ruin Miley Cyrus' good name.What do you think of Fiachra Lynch?
Who now? I am a failure. But yeah, googled, quite a swell young man, I must admit.
Will the world end in 2012?
Nope, I do have fun with people who think it will though.
What brought you to boards?
Me, myself and I. I googled Play TV (anyone remember that?), found boards and haven't looked back since.
Most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?
Ahahahaha, my life is one long string of embarrassing moments after the next, I'm such an awkward person. The worst that come to my mind actually cannot be shared because I'm still not over them. I'll go for a nice, safe one and say calling a male teacher 'Mammy'. That probably features in the top twenty.
Cup of tea fathers??
I don't like tea and I think it's seriously over-rated. There, I said it.Muahahaha, I could answer this in her place and the whole thread/playpen concept would be ruined >_>
Fair City or The Wire?
Watching The Wire is on my to-do list, so Fair City it is.
If you had to marry any character in Fair City, who would it be?
I liked Turlough >.> But for living, breathing characters, LOUIE <333 Followed by Finn.
If you could kill off any character in Fair City, who would it be?
Carol, it's not just because of Louie, everything about her just irritates me. And Louie is too good for her.
Er..if you could only buy one item from Christy's shop in Fair City, what would it be?
The man himself. And a Twirl.
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hope that the Fair City forum gets approved?
10, the thought of a whole thread dedicated to Louie makes my mouth water. And I need more places to discuss this Suzanne and David (is that his name?) saga.
Favourite dictator? (Yes I stole this question. Your answer doesn't have to be Fair City-related) Bob When I saw this question last time, I really hoped I'd get asked it :L. I'm going to use my errr excessive History knowledge here and say Stalin, purely because he was a strapping young fellow back in the day. Also, most Russians still like him these days, which can't be said about Hitler or Mussolini.
For example:
Young Stalin:
Young Hitler:
Bitta Mussolini:
And Lenin for the craic:
(Young Lenin wasn't too bad either though)
As for their policies, errr...my knowledge isn't that extensive, but Lenin seemed alright.
Ein reich, ein volk, ein Fuhrer...(No, I am not a Neo-Nazi, I just need to write something.)
Edit: Lol, my images have successfully de-railed this. Damn you Namlub, your plan has succeeded.0 -

To be fair, he's a smashing player when he wants to be. The Galway v Cork match of 08 proves this, that was quite some time ago though
Turf or bricquettes?
Ummmmm...turf. Preserve our natural bogs! Thank you JC Geography.
Roll or wrap?
Wrap. Oh God, I love wraps far too much.
Tea or hot chocolate?
Not a huge fan of either, but hot chocolate.
How do you plan on celebrating your Jay-See Results?
Crappy disco more than likely, sigh. Hopefully I'll be happy enough so it might be alright.
Will there be neon??
Possibly.
Carry on my friends.0 -

5 acts, unlimited budget, who do you pick?
The National, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Frightened Rabbit, Friendly Fires. They're my flavours of the month anyway.Do you play any sports? And which?
I used to be really sporty - camogie, basketball, running, and anything else casually. Now I do nothing except run the odd time and end up realising how horribly unfit I am.
Put your iPod on all-play shuffle. What is the second song that comes up? :pac:
Explosions in the Sky - So Long, LonesomeScreaminmidget wrote: »:pac:
x's or o's??
x, I never sed o's.
tea or coffee??
Neither really, not a big hot beverage person.
Favourite Card game??
My cousin taught me most of the card games I know and I discovered recently that the vast majority of the rules were falsified so I can no longer be a fair judge of that. I enjoyed Black Jack under that system though.
Favourite game as a child??
Hide and Seek/Boggle/Catch. I have fond memories of playing Catch many a day at primary school. No one else ever wanted to play Boggle though...:(
Soccy or Deise??
jumpguy
Coldplay or the script???
Coldplay
Best avatar??
I've loved kateos2's last few.
Best sig??
I never notice sigs. :pac:
Whos gonna win the all-Irelands this year (Both codes)??
Hurling - I think Tipperary might do it again but wouldn't be too surprised if Kilkenny came back and did it.
Football - Tyrone. But I don't really follow football.
Opinions on reality TV (teen mom, jersey shore etc) ?
I only have the Fantastic Four channels so I don't really watch a lot of these fancy reality shows the people do be talking about. I do enjoy watching the limited selection offered here, exempting the All Ireland Talent Show, that stuff is just unwatchable.Soccy or Deise?
Dustin the turkey.
C&H forum or JC Forum?
No competition, C&H.
Your worst nightmare is.....
Dying without having achieved much.
What subjects are you doing for the old LC?
English, Irish, Maths (I KNOW I'M SO CRAZY), French, Accounting, Biology and Chemistry. I like how my three options go A, B, C. That's why I'm not doing History. *cries*
So I hear you enjoy Home Ec, right?
Ahahahaha good one. Bane of my life for the last three years, I'm not sure if I'll ever recover from the horrors inflicted on me in that class.
What makes a good housewife?
Cooking a nice warm meal every evening, ready just to coincide with your husband's return home, because if it had to be microwaved he would not be pleased, as he deserves the best. Always remember, if your husband is grouchy, be there to appease him because remember, he has had a very tough day providing for you. And it's always your fault. Go forth with this knowledge and show them all, Noel, show them all.
Favourite book ever?
Gah, hard question. The Book Thief springs to mind but I'm not sure if that'd be my favourite. Meh, I don't think I'll ever love a series as much as Harry Potter so that'll do.
What would you do if Louie had an affair with Damien and it turned out Damien was HIV positive, and Louie too contracted it?
OH GOD NO, NOT LOUIE, ANYONE BUT LOUIE. Also, where did Damien get the HIV from? Is Suzanne HIV positive too? But what about her new lover?Now that would be a cracking storyline. As long as Louie doesn't die.

Damien got the HIV from Dolores because she hasn't slept with anyone in years and caught it on a public toilet. Suzanne doesn't have it because Damien slept with Dolores after they broke up.. :eek:
You still haven't put an end to my Louie worries.
Favourite type of crisps?
Dorito Chilli Heatwave
Salt/Vinegar/None on chips?
Salt AND vinegar on chips, I'm mad.
What kinda phone do you have?
Ugh, I dunno the model but it's an LG thin that slides up and down with a full keyboard and I hate it so much and the up and down buttons don't work so I have to keep rotating the phone to make it work.bythewoods wrote: »How great is this song?

Hello SlowShow. Your extensive knowledge of and love for Fair City makes me very happy.
Why is there no Chris Doran on your iPod? Why? Why don't you have his beautiful song 'If My World Stopped Turning' on there to listen to? It's quite good...
It's in my iTunes but it just didn't make the 7GB cut But I will still stand tall, 'cos behind it all, there's always the chance of someday having enough space for it.
Who is your favourite All Ireland Talent Show judge? Lol.
Shane Lynch because he got out while he could. *dodges bullet*
Have you any posters on your bedroom wall? If so what are they?
My room is the most boring room ever, sometimes I'd be all 'wooo posters' but then I never bother put any up. I wonder where I could acquire some Fair City posters...
JLS - yay or nay? And if yay, who is your favourite?
I'm so sorry, but nay. I did kind of like Beat Again though. And I know one of them is called Marvin, so him.
What is your favourite dinner?
Lately I've been firing everything and anything into wraps and eating them for dinner, it's been good. My mam is obsessed with old traditional Irish dinners which I actually hate, just go away bacon and cabbage, so anything that doesn't involve a wealth of spuds sounds good to me.
Favourite Dillon sister? (Fair City)
Neasa, I love her hair and she just seems kind of genuine to me.
Also are Louie and Finn really that attractive or is it only cos they're up against the likes of Barry and Christy? I can never decide...
I think if I met Finn IRL I would actually swoon. Louie not so much, I think it's his character more than anything. But when you put him next to Christy and ask Carol to choose...well, we all know how that worked out.:p
Ohhhh Fair City, that melt into bitty, oh what a lovely day, said Kay. I miss the back of the bus in primary school. 0 -

Can you play any instruments?
None whatsoever, not for lack of trying either.
Biscuit or cake?
Cake.
Oasis or Blur?
Oasis.flyswatter wrote: »Kanye West or Jay Z?
Because of his latest album, Kanye West.
Favourite Language?
I don't mind English but that's a bit boring so French. Also I must be crazy but I quite like the sound of the German language after watching Der Undergang.
Favourite Newspaper?
Connacht Tribune.QueenOfLeon wrote: »Any foods you refuse to eat (apart from the bacon and cabbage? :P)
I point blank will not go near stew - be it lamb stew or beef stew or friggin pineapple stew. I have no idea why my family is so obsessed with it, I'd rather starve.
5 foods you've never had but want to try?
Sushi
Shish Kebab (followed up with crab juice)
Escargot 'cos apparently they're actually nice. And if we can eat cows why not sails? Although when I asked my French correspondent when I was over there whether they eat them much she was like 'lol no'.
Toblerone cookies
I am hideously uninformed of strange foods so yeah, my number five will be 'dog meat' and we'll pretend I'm not a sick person.
Any sports you'd love to try?
Fencing or jousting, it'd be awesome and I could be all serious about defending the throne.
Favourite place in the world?
My bed. I also loved London when I was there.
If you could hop on a plane right now where would you go?
Would I be allowed bring friends? If I'm allowed bring friends, Paris. I don't know where I'd like to randomly go on my own really, I'd cheat and say London to go chill with my bro.
You're doing the same subjects as I did, how beautiful :') What does this say about us?
That we were separated at birth but I was injected with chemical hormones that prevented me from growing for five years until we could have no reasonable grounds to suspect the truth. Clearly our parents didn't consider the power of boards and subject choices. Also, one of us was adopted, I wonder who, draaaama. And I have a twin but that can be explained.
Did you pick yours because it went A,B,C. Also, English is E and French is F and Irish can be Gaeilge so it's G so it's almost a perfect pattern. If only Maths was Daths.
Are you gunna do TY? Why/Why not?
Nope. Meh, I just want to move on with my life and the TY Programme in my school isn't anything amazing so I don't really think I'm missing out on too much. I'm going to be eighteen the month before I start college anyway so it's no big deal.
Slippers or wooly socks and why?
Woolly socks because they're like slippers when they're new. Mhmmm. I am quickly wearing out a pair of slippers now though that almost completely resemble woolly socks except for their slightly stronger soles. Love them, it's gonna be a sad day when they fall apart.
How long per day do you spend on the internet?
I don't spend ridiculous amounts of time during the daytime really, an hour or two most days, on boring days a little more but in the night-time is another story. I like internetting at night though, it's really nice and peaceful and just lovely. Tonight's probably going to be a late one, despite me having to get up at nine/ten. Oh, to have self-control...
Call or text?
I rarely call, but I prefer it. Texting just irritates me these days, so much effort and so often things are misread. God forbid I'd reply to someone with a full stop and no x's. Whereas calls are just fun and you feel closer to the person and it's just fun when it's not awkward.

Is Slow Show your favourite The National song?
(I'm expecting a yes, but I thought that you might have rejected other songs if their names were too long or short or something, so you might have a different favourite.)

It's actually not, I just didn't think 'Fake Empire', 'Conversation 16' or 'Lemonworld' would work as usernames.
Are you doing T.Y. or skipping into 5th year?
Skipping straight into 5th year, so daring.
Do you have any dreams in life?
Plenty, too many really, but I suppose at the end of it all I just want to look back and find that I wouldn't have changed a thing. That sounds sad and from a movie script but it's the truth.
Was it you whose sig or tagline was "One day I'm gonna grow wings"? That's my favourite lyric.
Yeah it was, I got rid of it though 'cos I felt it was a bit angsty. I know right, I heard it and just fell in love with it and everytime I hear 'Let Down' I have to stay tuned in fully whenever it comes up. Perfect words for angsty teens everywhere, yay!

It's probably only four years, I'll be 16 in August. And noooo don't leave us.
Also, I'm getting slightly scared because I too refuse to be in the house while there is the slightest hint of stew being cooked, and I too have a brother in London. And I loved London when I was there. TWINNIE!!!!
Er, questions...do you like Italians?
I only know like two and they're fine so I'm sure the whole population is just lovely.
Do you agree that Soccy's hidden talent as a poet should be showcased a lot more than once a year? What is the best line of her poem?
Yes, I do. I have always maintained that if she stayed up on boards writing deep prose the night before LC English she would have an A1 in the bag.
Favourite line:
'her attempts to kill jumpguy fail again and again.'
It's funny 'cos it's true.
Any phobias?
Spiders when I'm alone. It's all fun and games when I'm with friends and I'm like 'lol, scared of spiders, why?' but when I'm alone...I've had to sleep in different rooms multiple times.
Ideal college (not course)?
I'd quite like to go to Trinity tbh. I think I'd like the prospect of going to NUIG if I didn't live in Galway all my life though.
Would you prefer to live in the city or the country?
I live deeep in the country now and it's slowly driving me a little bit crazy so for the sake of my sanity, the city. The country can be for when I'm getting old and settling down and sitting on a rocking chair on my porch chastising the local hooligans for stepping on my lawn.
Can you herd cows?
I've never tried, but I have a fair idea of how it works from witnessing it. I think if it came to an apocalypse where no one was spared save me and our herd of cows, I'd get by alright.
Do you have any unusual talents?
I cross my legs really weird in a position that would really hurt most people but it comes naturally to me. My friends all try mimic it but they can't do it, sucks to be them. :cool:
When I grow up I would like to be Soccy,
Even if the weather will be dull and foggy,
Soccy is a beour,
Not from Tramore,
But nevertheless her bread is not soggy.0 -

I started off as a wee lass with one too many x's to my name and therefore I met some cold hearts who could not look beyond my warm, childish exterior. However, I feel I began to find a place in the land of C&H and even became...accepted. :eek: And then I changed my name and life has been good. I have progressed, we have all progressed. I first posted in C&H when I was 14, now I'm nearly 16, life is kerrrr-azy.
Do you feel boards has matured you?
Yeah, quite a bit really. I think I'm more aware of life outside my bubble, especially in terms of college and things like that. Weird as it is, I'd be a kind of different person without boards.
Looking back do you feel you were more immature than you realised at the time?
Oh God yes.

There may have been suggestions that you were a nine-year-old posing as a fifteen-year-old, but we loved you nonetheless.

Yeah definitely, we've all changed :') but you're always this loveable, chirpy poster so yeah, don't change that, 'tis nice.
What is your top 5 cringiest boards moments including me/you/soccy(or just one or 2 etc)?
Our cringy moments haven't been too bad so I'm going to add EPIC to the category. Most of our epic moments were probably cringey in their own way.
Hot GAA Players
Oh Pixified Ferntree, best internet night ever
Our LOLing at that After Hours thread, remember the disgusting one. And then doing a bita music manipulating to act as, let's say dopplegangers. Which was probs fair cringey too.
Our attempted takeovers which no one would notice :L Mega cringe.
Posting ultra cheesy music in STMA. We are such rotten trolls, oh yes.
What boards moment brought you the most happiness?
Either Hot GAA Players or the all-nighter with our bard soccy, oh mushballs. I'm realising how sad this is as I type but our internet lives really are so awesome.
Are you excited to be going into 5th year the same time as me?
Yes, we can actually be on an equal footing and we can moan about the same things and be best buds forever!
Can we be LC boards buds even tho we're only doing 4 the same subjects?
Of course, we'll be all superior because we have extra 0's to our post count and all the LCers will wish they were us. And we'll be all 'C'mon guys, head over to C&H and then not acknowledge them at all, gonna be awesome!
Explain your life in 10yrs if everything goes to plan?
I will be nearing the ripe old age of twenty-six. I dunno what the plan is anymore really, hopefully I'll be working and making a bit of cash to splash. It's really hard to say, seeing as I don't have a clue what to do with my life. Oh well.
When hungry what food do you normally crave?
McDonalds sweet chilli wraps. I want one right now tbh.
Do you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day?
Nah, I drink water when I'm thirsty. I tried drinking eight glasses during Easter but it was just too much effort to have to keep drinking when I wasn't even thirsty and after a week of it, I felt no different than before.
Have you seen Les Choristes?
No, I plan to soon though. Maybe. :P
Have you ever used/Do you have carmex lip balm thing?
Nah, soz bbz.
If so what flavour(s)
Could you choose your favourite one and go into advance detail about how nice the smell is?
Strawberries smell nice.
If you were a vegetarian how would you cope with the lack of eating options?
I'd curl up into a ball and die slowly. Or survive on bread and vegetables but what kind of a life would that be?
Was there ever a time you didnt feel like you knew anyone well enough to ask (good) questions?
Quite often, I think I remember asking you about sock patterns.
If so what were they? (And Ill ask them! :pac:)
On a scale of Brilliant to Astoundingly Amazing, how incredible is Slow Show?
Nah, I didn't really have any interesting questions in mind, just...more interesting than the crap I asked.
What time would you ideally sleep and wake at each morning?
School: Sleep - 11PM. Wake - 7AM. Summer...I really have no problem staying up late during summer but if I'm not up before 12 I feel crappy no matter what the plan of action is for the day.
Do you remember the time we had that 90s music binge?
Yessum, I mentioned it above. And they call it puppy love...<3 Fond memories.
What was your favourite song(s)/group from then?
I should read the next question before I answer. Puppy Love probably, mainly because I can't remember much else.
Do you often stalk what people are listening to on msn?
Once or twice...every so often...constantly. I approve when you listen to Chris Doran. Your One Direction listening has waned however. jumpguy listens to a lot of rap, particularly Kanye West. I could go on...
Have you ever noticed people listening to weird songs which you really wouldnt have thought that they'd like?
Yes actually, once I saw eVeNtInE listening to that LMFAO song and I was like 'lolwut?'
Do you like having a big family?
It's OK, there's not many of us at home most times so it's nice when everyone's home.
Whats your idea family size?
I'm not sure if I want kids so maybe...two. But if I did I'd like two, because we'd have a spare seat in the car just in case without having to extend to a people carrier. And that space would do the world of good because let's face it, no one wants to be on the middle on a hot, sticky day.
Do you remember minute details?
Yup, I remember everything (more or less). Except some of the songs we listened to on our 90s binge >.>
Do you think its good or bad you remember such tiny details?
Good when it comes to school, the amount of stuff that comes flooding back in exams is unreal, but people find it a tad creepy sometimes so I reel it in and act oblivious when they're describing something they told me about eons ago.
Would you describe my sister as a "child prodigy"?
Yes, I think we will all end up seeing her as a newer, better Carrie. LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Do you think everyones growing up too fast these days?
Yeah it's a bit weird really, especially seeing people graduate from primary school and hearing friends' younger siblings chatting nonchalantly about shifting is a bit weird. And how all our siblings have aged too.
How do you feel about your internet service?
I think the problem is what my internet service thinks of *you* as it refuses to allow me to remain signed into MSN.
Should it cut off so easily?
No, it should be reliable and worship me like any decent internet service should.
Whats your fave nickname you got on boards?
Emmett the Emo for life.
How often do you stalk on facebook?
I don't think my stalking is excessive, just natural, and maybe slightly more than an average person. Having a gawk at teacher's pages is rather enjoyable too.
Do you ever worry that a headache is act a brain tumor?
Occasionally, when I don't have enough else to bother me.
Is it ever right for people to leave conversations without saying something?
No, frankly I am disappointed and outraged and intend to pen a letter expressing this outrage. Unless the person in question got foiled by their parents and were condemned to spending a day in a bog rather than in Dublin. Which is fair enough. And we still love them.
Last time you added people on facebook?
I never add people anymore, I let them add me. I accepted someone today, but I don't think I've added anyone for like a month.
What colour socks are you wearing?
Purple and grey. They're striped.
Favourite sock pattern?
I enjoy plain socks with a nice laughable picture on them. One day me and my friends spent a rather impressive amount of time laughing at the pig on my socks. That was a good day. Polka dots are nice too.
Describe your ideal sock?
Warm and fluffy and woolly and with polka dots and maybe a simple picture too and I can wear them with my school shoes without people noticing.
What colour is your bedroom wall?
Pink, I don't really like it but I dunno what else to do.
Favourite smell?
Tough one...freshly baked bread in a bakery, I'm so boring. I feel like there's something more obvious that I like that's missing, but can't think of it. Sigh.
Do you tan?
I burn horribly and then tan, so I don't bother. Fake tan all the way, hopefully without looking like an oompa loompa after falling into a jar of canned tomatoes.
Last time and thing you baked?
14th April, my Home Ec Practical, cupcakes and muffins. Disaster, not helped by me freaking out with my evaluation and calling them 'BLAND'. THEY WEREN'T EVEN BLAND. They tasted good, they just had the appearance of a two-year-old's play-doh masterpiece.
Doo you like baking?
It's alright actually, when the end product is nice, I don't have to weigh my ingredients with minute detail and when I don't have to clean up.
Whats your favourite thing to bake?
Muffins. My muffins were nice.
Have you ever cooked dinner, if so what?
I can only cook spaghetti bolognese, and even then my mam makes the mince for me. :L I've never really cooked a dinner on my own from scratch...heh, how odd.
Do you have high morals?
Errrr be as good as you can be but don't be a total sap/doormat. So not really. :P
Whats the nicest tie youve ever seen?
Ah just one that some lad in my school wore when he was working at a pub, brought out the colour of his eyes.
What do you think of purple/white/navy striped ties?
All unique and lovely in their own way.

My internet died over the weekend. I found my Sims 3 disc and installed it, wondering why I hadn't played it in a year. I don't know what happened to the time, but hours passed with me barely noticing, and I slept for about three hours on Saturday night. I think I know why I don't play it now...but The Sims is not good for me, I am not doing that to myself. I will not re-install it...I am also kindling an obsession for Bon Iver and Friendly Fires and Frightened Rabbit by watching every live video of theirs I can find but that's just general music love.
And jumpguy. Always jumpguy.
Plans for your life once 5th year starts?
I have ambitious plans to work for 5th year, so we'll see how that turns out. I don't know, my life follows a fairly steady pattern with school. Go to school, come home, do homework, repeat process, maybe do something at the weekend, maybe don't. So no huge plans. :P
How awkward would it be to not distinguish between room 24 and 25?
Very awkward, as you and I both have experience with. There's a big gap between 21 and 24 whereas there's quite a small gap between 24, 25 and 26. I don't know how I could have been so foolish...
Have you many teachers under 40?
Quite a few, doing a quick count-up I had five out of nine. Your school needs to move into the future bbz.
Was your history sub teacher a good one?
He actually wasn't great and some of his notes were just plain wrong but I let it slide and the exam went rather well for me so I have no bad feelings. And he was rather nice and friendly and other things.
Whats a PGDE?
Some degree thing apparently. *shrugs*
Are you happy or annoyed you asked me to ask questions?
Happy and amused really, I actually lol'd when I saw this. :P
How would you have responded if I said I didnt really want to ask questions?
I would have replied frostily, but wouldn't have appeared outwardly furious.
Would you have been annoyed if I kept postponing asking questions?
If you went to bed before asking...well...
Roughly how many questions were you expecting me to ask?
Four, maybe five.
What has been your favourite questions so far that
A) Others asked?
I liked the Favourite Dictator one. People need to be more aware of matters such as how people looked in their youth, and then base their opinions. I asked?
The best moments thing was nice and nostalgic. Need new memories bbz.
I have to be up in a few hours for some rather strenuous activity but OK deise, I could do that too.
I also know that it's unlikely anyone else will trawl through that, which is perfect. 0 -

It took an hour, I really shouldn't be allowed on the internet at night.
Whats your favourite smiley?
:pac: < It says a lot without saying very much at all, and really helps lift the tone of a dull post.
Best night out you've ever had?
I've actually had a good few decent nights out, surprisingly enough. There was one in February of last year, some disco that you'd think would be crap but it was actually brilliant and I made new friends and it led to some awesome things happening later and it was all nice and happy during a rather awful period of my life, soooo dramatic but the start of 2010 was a bit hideous.
Do you like school?
Hmmmm....it's fine, I often enjoy it. Sometimes I enjoy the people more than subjects. Sometimes I enjoy the subjects more than the people. It's wonderful when both work out together, but sometimes they don't. And I'm tired of the same people and the same old routine. The best way to sum it up is, it's fine but I'm tired of it. I wouldn't be ready to leave just yet but give me another year and I'll be wanting the LC to hurry on. I'm too impatient, I should stop wishing my life away but meh.
Any strange injuries?
Nothing too strange really.Do you like Queens of the Stone Age? Cos I don't. I listened to one song and wondered what the fuss was about. Hi5!
Do you think I should stop asking questions now?
Nah don't, I'm enjoying this question malarkey. I should really go to bed though...Have you ever been faced with a problem with nobody else could solve but you could?
I dunno, it's half three in the morning, let's not be so deep. I think one time in Maths last year I figured something out that no one else did but that was a fluke. Yay.
How would you describe your life outside school?
.....because of where I live, boring, but it could be a lot worse.
What is your favourite thing about your best friend?
I kinda suck at having close friends although some are a fair bit closer than most so I'll pick one and say how I can talk to her about anything and we can laugh uncontrollably over the simplest thing. And we read the same books and it's lovely.
Do you enjoy stand-up comedy?
Sometimes, I wouldn't sit down with the sole purpose of watching it though.
Why Trinity? HUH?! TOO GOOD FOR THE WESHT, HUH?!
TSM - English Literature & Psychology sounds better than Arts anywhere else. :L No offence to anyone intended. And I don't even know if I want to do that but meh. Enjoy your time wallowing in Galway while I revel in the Big Smoke.
Will you be watching the launch of the final space shuttle?
Seeing as this is the first I've heard of it, probably not. Final space shuttle? There won't be anymore?
Longest you've ever stayed awake?
Probably 24 hours, I've stayed up for two days straight but always had a slight nap in the middle.
Would you trust anyone named "Catherine"?
For my JC English exam I had to write a letter to my future child and called her Catherine. Bummer if it's a boy. I suppose I would if I had reason to.
Silliest thing you've ever done? (This may be asked, how could I have missed it...I TRAWLED SO CAREFULLY THROUGH YOUR ANSWERS)
It kinda was asked and I had a pitiful answer which somewhat preserved my reputation. I've made some retarded mistakes though but they are what they are. Mhmmmm.
I'm too tired to write something witty here or even post a nice video.0 -
