    I have the most huge, stupid work experience diary to fill in. Of course I was meant to fill it in every day after placement but I didn't bother so now I have it all to do in one go. And it's due tomorrow. Love my life right now!

    :( good luck with that! work experience diaries are the bane of any college course that involves work placement!

    :D got a check today for tax back from 2010! I'd gone to the tax office last week about getting tax back from last year, and I hadn't earned enough to pay tax. So I was surprised to get tax back for 2010, guess they must have looked at that year and decided to give me money! Woohoo!

    Oh Novella I know the feeling... After my final placement I left my diary until the last minute and had over 50 pages left to do over the last 2 days. I finished it at 7am on the day it was due, got a couple of hours sleep and got the bus to Athlone to hand it in. :o

    I'm not long awake so I'm gonna change the clothes on my bed, put new ones on the fold-out bed my bf uses, tidy my room, have a shower, knit and watch the United game later.

    I'm dying to go to the Titanic museum!

    I'm going to Belfast Thursday week for Titanic weekend and there is my first stop! I don't think that my poof boyfriend is looking forward to it tbh! I haven't stopped talking about Titanic in months! This is the best year ever for me! I have been obsessed with titanic since I saw the film aged 7. I have mountains of books, DVDs, documents etc on the ship and it's stories! I just wish that more movies/shows would tell the real stories and not make ones up that are nowhere near as interesting!

    Oh Christ, I am incredibly sick of people commenting on the fact that I don't drink. How the hell is the concept so baffling!? Is it offensive to people? Does it ruin their night? My friend's aunt bought me a vodka and Red Bull despite me telling her that I don't drink, I have to be up at 5 tomorrow morning and have a long day of college and studying and a moot tomorrow night so I need to be fresh anyway. I politely declined and then she held my nose and went to pour some of it in my mouth...not appropriate at all! Seriously, what the hell? Why couldn't she understand that I didn't want it!? :rolleyes: I ended up getting really pissed off and left quite early, especially because even more people felt the need to comment/call me dry. The fact I was singing karaoke when sober seemed to pass them by completely. Ugh, this is why I prefer going out in Dublin, everybody leaves me the hell alone and if anyone comments it's usually in jest.

    </rant>
    That woman has absolutely no cop on IMO.

    She needs to grow up and get a grip. Forcing someone to drink? If anyone did that to me I'd have very little to do with them after it tbh. There is no excuse for her behaviour, she should be ashamed of herself.

    Wow Muffin are you okay hun? PM if you need a chat. xx

    Yay, Wrestlemania! :D I'd say the bf and his friends are like children haha. They're all huge fans of The Rock. He's looking very well I must say. Yum yum. ;)
    Thanks Jane, I'm OK now though.

    What upset was so so stupid.

    My dad and his family (parents, siblings, siblings partners, nieces/nephews and my (half) siblings) are all gone/going away on a family holiday to see other family member and I am the only one (on my dad's side) not going. None of them even asked me about me going.

    I was meant to phone dad yesterday, but when I text him to ask him to log into Skype so I could ring him he text back that he was out with the dog he'd be home shortly so I text him back and asked him to text me when I could ring and I heard nothing from him until one o'clock when he text me to say he had last minute packing to do which is why he hadn't text me.

    It's just like he is putting them before me, it's so silly because they are his family too and just the fact that I am the only one not going in a way it just make's me feel left out. It's so so stupid and I don't know why it's getting to me and upsetting me so much when it shouldn't. They
    :(

    I remember my daughter burned her finger and thumb on a bedside lamp(she touched the hot light bulb). She slept in my arms with me holding her hand in a bowl of cold water, she was around 2.
    This reminds me of when I was a toddler and I was sitting/standing on a chair at the table and it was my birthday and the cake was in front of me so I decided to put my finger in the flame and then started crying when it hurt but I refused to take my finger away from the flame in case it hurt more.

    Another time I was sitting on the bottom of the stairs and I'd gotten hold of a lighter and set me hair on fire.

    I started screaming and mam came running out and saw me there crying/screaming with a flame on the top of my head. :o
    I remember once going to the ATM and getting the dreaded 'Insuffcient funds' message. I started talking to the machine saying 'EH What do you mean insufficient funds? ive loads of money'.

    Going to do more cooking today, making Spinach and potato soup and for dinner I am making chicken with streaky bacon wrapped around it and I'm making a mushroom sauce to go with it. Hope it's nice.

    There's a new tv series coming out isn't there, I'm pretty sure they wanted to keep it more real and tried to be true to what the real people were like. It's made by the guy behind that pre ww1 tv series (gosford park?)

    I'm just sitting here writing a really boring essay when I get a text from boy from class : "I know you're probably really stressed so I bought you 3 kinds of Ben and Jerry's for later. It seemed to make you happy last time (:" :D

    I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve been feeling pretty depressed and antisocial and I didn’t want to subject you all to my misery and constant moaning but I have a happy post today and since you all put up with my negativity you deserve to hear something positive from me. :)

    I ordered a dress online a few weeks ago for my college awards night. I regretted ordering it about 2 days later because I thought I had the size wrong or the quality would be terrible and that I didn’t deserve a nice dress anyway. My depression has been getting to me lately, so much so that I very nearly self-harmed one day last week. No one else was home to distract me and my thoughts were racing and I just couldn’t cope with it. It’s been months since I felt that bad and it really knocked me for six. Anyway I somehow made myself wait, the feelings dissipated a bit and I didn’t cut myself. I pretended to everyone at home and in college I was grand like I always do and hid away in bed when I could. Have been feeling pretty shít ever since though and haven’t been able to get out of bed all weekend because I just don’t see the point.

    Anyway the dress arrived today and it’s absolutely amazing! It fits so so well. Not perfectly because it’s waaay too long, but that’s only because I’m a 5ft midget :o. But it sort of flows over the parts of me that I’m self-conscious about and emphasises the good parts of my body. (Yes Mollikins, you do have good parts). Putting it on and looking in the mirror made me feel so so beautiful and god I really needed to feel good about myself right now. My mind is pretty relentless in telling me that I’m ugly and that I don’t deserve to feel good about myself amongst other things so this dress came at the perfect time. So basically right now I’m sitting here with a big smile on my face and I won’t be crying myself to sleep tonight. :)

    Congrats tomissex. Delighted for you. :D
    Bet it eases the disappointment of not getting Madrid? You deserve it hun. :)

    Novella, pretty please send that guy in your class to me. He’s an absolute keeper. Good luck with the work experience diary. Hope it won’t take you too long. :)

    I think I might try on that dress again... :D

    Oh my poor aching head, one quiet drink last night turned into too many to count :rolleyes: Woke up at 6am and couldn't get back to sleep, had to cancel my driving lesson coz my head and stomach were in tatters, finally dozed off at midday and just about scraped myself out of bed in time for work. What a trainwreck. No more beer for TeletextPear!

    Thanks so much! Yeah it really does, especially since I really didn't think I'd get anywhere!

    Really crap to hear you haven't been doing so good. Please wander on and drop a PM if your mind is racing. You're never alone :)
    I think you should spend the day in your magic dress!

    There's one on tv3 ATM that's alright. Most of the background characters are real and it's mostly factual (though a few facts have been messed around with which I am not happy about) but the main characters still aren't real. I just don't understand why, when there are so many fascinating stories about the real life passengers, they need to make any up!

    There's another show out soon as well that I'm looking forward to but that's going to be focused on the building of the ship

    Thanks hun. I really appreciate it. I find I’m better off keeping to myself and working through things on my own than offloading on other people. But it’s great to know the option to talk to someone is there so thank you. :)

    Ya know, I probably would spend the day in the dress but I’m so scared of tearing it or getting it dirty or falling over and breaking my neck since it’s so bloody long that I probably won’t. You could nearly make 2 dresses out of the extra material on the end of it! :o

    Now if only my internet would work properly... :mad:

    Mollikins, I'd be careful about that. Keeping things in is never good for you. Even if you just say it/write it without needing anyone to reply back to you.

    I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing or anything but I worry about people who do this (mostly coz this is why my mum and I do and we haven't turned out so great). Look after yourself please and don't keep things in. Your head will always twist things to make them worse whereas actually vocalising the words can help things be a little more realistic :-)

    If you ever have racing thoughts like that again and feel like hurting yourself, don't be afraid to send me a PM. I'll always listen if you feel like there's no one else. I know that's not great since I'm pretty much a total stranger but I've been where you've been so I could probably relate.

    So happy to hear about your dress by the way! Hope you have a really wonderful time at your college awards night. :)

    As for the guy, I'm kind of hanging on to him myself ;):) But I'll share! :)

    Muffin, glad to read you're feeling better but don't be afraid to PM if you ever need to. If something upsets you that much it's never silly. xx

    Novella that boy sounds completely adorable! :D

    Mollykins, I was really sorry to read that you're having such a rough time lately. Glad you're feeling better though. Just wanna give you a little bit of advice though. Don't keep things bottled up and try to deal with it on your own. It's always better to talk to someone. PM is always open if you need someone to chat to. :) xx

    SarahBeep! the thing was definitely three times the size of a normal one, it was massive! I still couldn't kill it though. I let it fly over to the window and I let it out. :o

    I don't post in this thread but I lurk from time to time, just going to go unreg and have a bit of a rant!

    Yesterday I was out in town with my boyfriend. It had been a while since it had just been the two of us doing something so I was really looking forward to it. I had to do a few things first before we could just sit down somewhere, so we went around to some shops first so I could get what I needed. The last thing I needed to do was to try something on in a shop, so I went to do that quickly and left him to wait for me. When I came back he was talking to a girl from his college, and I said hello to her, started talking to her a bit. But then he kept talking to her, and then next thing I know she's walking around with us with no sign of going away. Then I felt quite sick so I asked if we could sit down somewhere, and we went to a cafe, me him and her. I was still wondering why the hell she was hanging around with us, I don't even know her like. So then when we were sitting there it was just them talking about all stuff they like that I'm not really into, while I sat on what was meant to be a day out with my boyfriend listening to them, not even feeling the best. I just felt so pissed off that he didn't even care that he was leaving me out, or that she was interrupting what was meant to be our day out together. Eventually after an hour and a half (!) of her being with us we went off on our own. Thought it was pretty rude of her to just interfere like that too, I'd never just invite myself along with some couple if they were out together. Sounds silly now when I type it but I was really pissed off at the time.

    Downton Abbey. I've only seen the first episode of Titanic, it was okay but nothing on Downton. It's only a four-part series as well.

    I see absolutely no point to twitter, have joined twice and left again both times. I have enough social media in my life.
