Driving home tonight the moon was buttermilk against an indigo sky.
And it was fertile looking, all full and huge and round.
It made me glad.

On saturday I went to paris for lunch. Saturday night was explosions in the sky. And today was hanging out with excellent boys and getting cooked the nicest dinner I've had in ages. Lovely lovely lovely.

Paris is kind of a secret though :) shhh!

Now in friends-only.
For possibly a short time only.

I had never seen Before Sunrise before tonight. Judge me all you like, but it's the truth. Last weekend I was in Dublin for a gig and to visit some friends, one of whom hid it on another friend's bookshelf and then texted me once he'd left to give me a clue that it was there. He probably didn't want to get caught trafficing sappy films or something ( Read more... )

Gin and Tonics in the Locke Bar on a Tuesday, whatever the reason, are a bloody good idea. I’m a fan, so long as there’s someone there to drive me home. I’m not sure when I went from thinking that Gin and Tonic was a crazy cat lady drink to thinking that there’s nothing quite so refreshing as a G&T with a wedge of lime, and wouldn’t be lovely to ( Read more... )

Cake, both the making and the eating thereof.

Ciara, Maeves, Seamie, Liselle, Gar. Friends from what feels like the olden days that I've reconnected with lately. It's been great.

I am happy.

No, I don't have a full-time job; but i'm doing things I enjoy doing and it keeps me going.

No, I'm not going out with anyone; but that doesn't stop me enjoying people's company, and I've gotten to kiss some lovely boys this year.

No, I don't own a house, nor do I have any plans to buy one; I don't know where I want to live when I grow up ( Read more... )

Noirin made me do it.

1)   My first brush with stardom was in Brownies, when I was chosen to play Brown Owl in our christmas play. This was closely followed by my first ever "Bad Guy" part as The Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland for my ballet school.

2)  My first car was mine for a total of 9 hours, and then it died of cartwheeling.

3)  I used ( Read more... )

It wasn't really coffee, but I actually liked the taste of it... I've had a couple of mugs of the most instant-est, muckest, lowest-grade Nescafé instant coffee today and it tastes and smells exactly like this:

I've been thinking a lot about New Zealand since I came to dublin. Memories keep bobbing to the surface of my mind when I least expect them to. I'm dreaming about situations that did or could have taken place, following conversations to what could have been their conclusion, closing my eyes and seeing myself sitting on the verandah of the hostel in ( Read more... )
