Better times!
After my little mini meltdown I've decided to stop being so apathetic about everything I'm doing and try to be a bit more passionate for life. When I came home from work on Friday (after having had a massive crying fit the night before) Sacha and I decided to play My Beautiful Katamari (which a housemate left behind) and ended up playing that for about 4 hours but it was very enjoyable. Because I wasn't working on Saturday it meant I got to spend the night at my house in Limerick rather then going home to Ennis.
I woke up late Saturday and my neighbour then picked me up at about 3pm to bring me back to ennis (because she was on her way to ennis anyway). Then I met up with Colum and ended up going on a 3 and a half hour walk all over Ennis, just chatting about everything and anything. It was good because we ranted about general things, much bigger problems then the little ones we have which put everything into perspective. We also talked about creative things including my Final Year Project, in which I want to do a computer animated short film. Unfortinatly due to my recent lack of creativity I had been having lots of trouble coming up with a good idea for a short movie. However after our walk I had very good idea of what I wanted to do and I was even able to do a few sketches in my sketch pad (which is a big deal currently) so I was delighted with that, mainly because my lack to creativity had been bothering me so much lately that now that I have an idea of this I feel a bit relieved that it may end up coming back to me eventually.
When i got back from my ultra long walk I then did a maths grind for my neighbour and then Colum came over to do some drawing/brainstorming again which was lot of fun.
The next day I had work in the afternoon but in the morning I did another maths grind for my neighbour and then I went for an hour walk to get out of the house before work. Work in the restaurant was going quite well until half an hour till the end. I had a few really nice tables and one of my friends was working as well so i got to talk to her a bit. Then at 9 pm a massive group of 13 year old girls came in for a party. After the food had been given out the two girls that finished at 9 left, understandable, leaving me with two bar staff and a manager there. Logically then the two people behind the bar should stay there and the manager should work the floor with me, right? Wrong. She decided that the bar was to busy and left me completely on my own on the floor to take care of about 100 or so people. Then I ran to the bathroom quickly about 5 minutes before my shift ended. I literally took about a minute and when I cam back the mananger ran over to me and started yelling at me saying how she thought I had left and how the floor was a complete state and it was all my fault. So then I asked at 9.35 if I could please go after collecting ALL of the baskets, glasses, jugs and papers from the table but she wouldn't let me leave until the bar counter had been cleared. The bar counter hadn't be cleared because one of the guys who was on bar was off at 9.30 and thus left on time without cleaning in and she didn't ask him to stay. Oh no aparently that was my job. As you can imagine I came out of the place at 9.45 fuming with rage. Luckily when I got back to Limerick Sacha let me rant about it so that helped a good bit!
On Monday then I woke up latish (later then I intended) and went into town to get new running shoes and headphones. After that I walked into college and went to the gym for an hour and a half. I am so terribly unfit, it's quite horrid to tell the truth! XD When I got back from the gym I felt slightly quesy and ended up almost throwing up but I stopped myself! XD After that I got dressed up in my bodyline dress for the first time, which I must say I think looks quite spiffing! XD Then Sacha came back from his last exam and we walked over to the restaurant where we were having the Anime and Manga Society committee dinner. I was so glad Sacha walked home first because I could walk to the restaurant with him in lolita gear and not care about some of the stares I was getting from people.
When I got to the restaurant Gearoid and Paul were already waiting outside for us and Luke and Selene arrive about 3 minutes later. Both Luke and Selene were dressed up, Selene in quite a lolita dress, which was awesome because I wasn't alone! XD Selene gave me a massive "care package" filled with awesome goodies including a gun that shoots little plastic dart thingies, bubble bath, bubbles, disney princess plasters, a paper lantern and an awesome black hoodie with a pink heart sewed onto it. It was so awesome and I loves her muchly for it! <3 It really cheered me up after my rough week before that. We had a massivly fun dinner. It was great to see everyone again. Jen dressed up as well so all the girls were wearing dresses. The guys were laughing saying how they weren't told about the dress code. We all got the early bird special (the restaurant were nice enough to give it to us despite us being there a little bit after the actual cut off time!) which was so very yummy. Four courses for 19 euro which isn't too shabby. All in all a fun time was had by all I think although it's sad that thats the last time the (almost full) committee will be together since loads of people are going on co-op and the like next semester. I still haven't decided if I'm going to give up the position of president to the society. I mean next year I'll have a very difficult year but at the same time it will be very difficult to let it go. I need to think quite hard about it and make a decision before September.
Speaking of September Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is coming out in Europe on September 10th apparently! Super excited! =3
I need to find ways to keep myself entertained when I get home. I'm hoping to go walking every day if I can, even for a short walk for exercise because I'm putting a very serious effort into losing weight this summer, even if I have nowhere to go! XD;; I do really want a holiday in the sun. It's been a very long time since I've been on a sun holiday last! So far the diet seems to be going well. I've only lost about 5lbs since I started 3 weeks ago but I have to admit I can see some changed in my body, mainly my tummy seems to be starting to go away, which makes me happy. But I want to continue this on so I can be healthy again (and fit into some of the more normally sized lolita clothes XD;;). I'm hoping to go to the gym atleast once again and go to a fitness class once a week and then walk the rest of the time. Possibly go swimming once a week as well, depending on my mood. Hopefully once I finish work in august I might be able to go to the gym two or three times a week in between classes during college. I really do want to lose the weight that I've had for quite some time. It's difficult to keep motivated when Sacha keeps telling me I look fine the way I am though! XD Although I think he likes the changes he can see so far! =3 I know I'm liking them! Only my shoulders are killing me today though, which means I may not be too out of shape in my legs!
Once again this ended up being a very, very long post! I've noticed that I tend to use my lj more like a diary rather then trying to be insiteful. I suppose to each their own! =P
Also I found the dress that I couldn't remember the name of and loved! It's this dress:
but in ivory! I'm so happy someone posted it on egl_comm_sale and I was like "OMG ITS THE DRESS!!"
Tax should be comming in next week! I can't wait because, number 1, I thought it was 700 euro but it's actually 900 euro which means that I can get my 22" tv as well, number 2, because I don't have to feel guilty about buying my pretty dresses! =D Also Sacha seems to quite like lolita style, which was very important because I was afraid he wouldn't like it. Has anyone else had that worry when they started wearing lolita first? Like that they were afraid of what loved ones would think of it? It's a relief for him to accept it! ^^;; My friends seem to love the style so I never had a problem with them! =3 I'm just hoping that my mum will like it as well, or not hate it atleast. I know it's only a fashion style but when people judge others about so much it's nice to be accepted about something you really like, like lolita fashion, or being a female gamer/programmer or what ever.
I think it means a lot to everyone to feel they belong to a community of some sort. That is also why I believe that the internet has gotten so popular, because people can meet others from across the world who are similar to them and form a community they wouldn't normally have. It's also why I believe the internet is such a wonderful place. Often people talk about how horrible the internet is and I can see where they're comming from, to a certian extent but then I see communities who work together to make the world happier. Who do social experiments to make people smile and plant over 10000 plants and trees for a vloggers birthday because "he likes oxegen" then I do believe that at the end of the day, though all the crap and horrible things on the internet exist, that these lovely things that really do make the world a better place make the internet the most amazing thing to be a part of and it makes me feel so very lucky growing up in the generation I am. It makes me unbelievably happy when I see normal people taking on the world and saying that, with the help of others, that we really can change just about everything. I love how they never underestimate the human spirit, which is the strongest force in the world. I hope to, at some point, be able to join these people who come up with the most amazing ideas to make our world a little better, one smile at a time. I want to do more of these experiments in Ireland where there seems to be an awful lot of hatred, anger and general unhappiness. I wonder what I can do though...any ideas?
