    How having my dreadlocks pretty much limits me to 3 Halloween costumes:
    Rasta - Racist
    Predator - Too expensive / time consuming
    Jack Sparrow - Done it twice or 3 times now tbh

    Cutting them off will open up a world of costumes.

    Someone actually stood at my desk today looking out the window whining, "oh my gooooooooood, I just can't belieeeeeeeeeeeeve I have to go out in thaaaaat. It's so wet!" - took me all my effort not to say, "oh just fúcking shut up whingeing and get on with it, it's not acid" :(

    Screw childbirth. Screw getting kicked in the balls. Cutting your finger on the inside of a tin for chipotles in adobo sauce is the most painful thing in the world.

    Possibly covered before, but trivially annoyed by a lot of Irish men's inability to know when you don't want to converse with them in a pub. Happened again on Sunday night. Sitting with two (female) friends and minding our own business. Over come two guys. One of my friends is Brazilian. Guy 1 asks, "where are you from? " - (fúcking zzzzz already). She answers and he says, "lol me ma's cleaner is from Brazil!" - in my head I've already said, "Is that so? And is your da's whore from Ireland?" but I kept it shut. Anyway the yimmy yammy nothing talk went on for a bit (me answering his incessant questions with one word answers and turning back to continue the conversation with my friend after each one) until eventually I just said, "Look guys we're actually having a private conversation here, do you mind?" - well you think I'd fúcking well shot Bambi's mother the way one of them reacted. Apparently I'm just a stuck up bítch, they were only being friendly yadda yadda - like seriously? Fúck off.

    I really don't get why someone thinks they can foist themselves upon a group of people having a private conversation and even when they are politely asked to leave, act as if you're the unreasonable one! Or did he think I was going to realise what a "stuck up bítch" I am and say, "actually yeah you're right, let's get to know each other" - the conversation is only going to go one way when you start name-calling. Why keep sitting there?

    Maybe you were "just being friendly" but guess what? I'm not under any obligation to sit and make small talk with you. I don't have to be friendly back. My personal space. My time. Go. Away.

    I guess thats why they call it a "pub" and not a "priv".

    I do my private chats in private places. In a pub, if someone i don't like approaches, yeah its annoying but like I said, public place. They do eventually get the hint.

    Did it happen to you too? Is that why you are a very angry man? No need to have conversation at home - we weren't exactly dicussing menses and flow patterns - but there's an idea for next time. "Yeah pull up a seat there. My lovely friend here is just telling me how it's better to give your moon cup a preliminary wash before putting it in the diswasher....Especially around the "heavier" times....wait....come back! :P

    "Fcuk off" generally works a lot more quickly.

    Yeeeeeees!!!

    It should be, "Dear 30 year old me, when I grow old I will be a condescending, smug aul twat with nothing better to do than give you grief because you bought an expensive dress" :(

    Dear 60 year old me,

    Don't bother taking out a pension plan. 30 year old me will kill you before you are 61, for píssing me off.

    Regards

    30 year old me

    I'm not a tearful person at all, I pride myself on having **** all emotion but the past few days I'm just really tearful for no reason. I cried at love hate, I cried at hearing that leaving on a jetplane song yesterday. Can't be dealing!
    It's annoying because if I knew what was wrong I could have a tall glass of cement and harden up. But now I don't feel sad or upset til the point of bursting into tears for no reason.

    I missed Sunday's episode.
    Was in a shop yesterday, spotted the giveaway headline on the front page of a tabloid, and proceeded to get very fúcking annoyed- an employee walked by to see me standing there stamping my foot and looking very very irate- as I was heading home to watch it.

    Love/Hate>
    How many of ye opened this because ye couldn't bear to not look-ha!!!- I'd never be such a horrible bítch as to disclose what happened-never!!!!

    That's a strange one to pride yourself on. Obviously you're a bit more emotional than you realise. When you hold it in or ignore it long enough and it inevitably starts to errupt you will have no idea what it's in relation to. You're better to try and foster some conscious connection between what's happening in your life and a given time and what you feel in response to it. Emotion is pretty important as a tool for getting through life, it'll always tell you what and who is most important to you.

    You don't need a glass of cement or hardening up... you need a bit of softening up maybe.
    A broads group hug perhaps?
    Too much? Ok. :)
    Hope you feel better soon.:)

    Me too. I watched the first episode of the new season in my sister's house a few weeks ago because she was watching it and the entire time I was sitting there thinking "what is this ****?"
    A broads group hug perhaps?

    Yep, all us broads should get together :p

    Well I think its great, so there.

    Now give it a rest or someone is gonna get whacked.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    I've got an outpatient appointment in Galway in December and we thought it'd be nice to stay overnight and see the Christmas market have a few drinks etc. Then I remembered I've got another hospital appointment the next day in Limerick, so there goes that idea.
