Hopelessly romantic
Whew I haven't updated this in a little while. Probably due to doing lack of interesting things until this weekend, which was a massive change to my routine.
On saturday we all headed off to Tralee (as thus to a part of Ireland I had never been in before) for my friend Gavins 21st and we had an awesome time. I wore my carosel dress from bodyling with cute flats and a cardigan to keep it casual which worked well. Gearoid drove us there and we had a fun drive in the car on the way up. Mini road trip!
When we got to Tralee we went to a pub first for finger food and cake and we played rock band on a big tv there, which was lots of ufn. I also ended up meeting people I didn't know because Gavins friends from tralee were also there. They were very nice people. After finger food and the like and facecake (OMFG one of the first times I've ever had facecake) we went back to his house for more foods and more rockband and just general awesomeness. As per usual the evening was inuendo filled. Also felt quite guilty because we were all playing rockband in gavins room and obviously Gavin and Jen (his girlfriend) were going to sleep in his bed and the rest of us sleep on floors/couches/whatever but because of not getting enough sleep during the week because of work while I was watching the lads play rockband I ended up curling up in a ball on the bed and falling asleep. Aparently Gavin came in and said they'd sleep in another room because they didn't want to move me. I was like "whut I wouldn't have minded..." so I felt kinda guilty about that. We ended up not sleeping till about 5 in the morning and it was a hillarious night. I don't think I've laughed so much for quite some time.
In the morning I woke up at about 9, luckily most people seemed to end up waking up around the same time too. We all got mass amounts of breakfast and watched Eva 2.2 (I think thats what it's called) before needing to leave at about 12 to make sure Gearoid could get back to Limerick for work at 2. We got lost trying to get to the main road but we asked a nice farmer who showed us how to get back. We stopped for ice cream on the way back too which was fun. When I got back to Limerick I showered and changed and went for a walk with Sacha because the weather was so nice. We ended up attempting to go for a walk by the river on the University grounds where we encountered knackers with horses who the proceeded to yell stuff at me.
I wish I could say this was the first time that happened but about a week earlier I was waiting for the bus to get back from Newcastle West to Limerick city and theres guys, no older then about 15 started yelling things as me like "big tits" and the like. Then one came up to me ask started harassing me, asking me to meet him and when I said wouldn't leave me along and constantly asking me when. When i took out my phone to text Sacha for some comfort they came back over to me asking me how much I paid for it and if they could use it because they had no credit. They were obviously waiting for the same bus as me so I was really not looking forward to the trip back. Luckily as the bus approached they were still yelling abuse at me and the bus driver wouldn't let them on the bus. I wasn't afraid as much as horridly embaressed. What made the whole thing worse was there was another person, a man older then myself by about 5 years or so who saw the whole thing and didn't even attempt to do something. Atleast the bus driver saw what was happening and did something about it. *sigh* Anyway because of my figure I do sometime get shouted at/whistled at. I'm not very pretty and I have a good bit of weight to lose but I still get stupid attention soely because of my brests and it's quite aggrivating, mainly because I know thats the only part of me they find attractive.
Anyway on the way back we walked through the jewish graveyard in the estate we live in, which was very interesting and nice. Unfortinatly because it's on the outskirts of a student village estate there were broken bottles all over the place, including on the graves and fag butts as well. I mention this was so disrespectful and Sacha started to pick out all the broken glass and rubbish from the graves and I helped him once I saw what he was doing. I asked him why he did it and he said that "everyone is going to end up here so I think everyone deserves the same amount of respect when their dead." I thought it was sweet and slightly out of character for him. We then got home and brought all the bottles to the bottle bank and then watched a movie.
The next morning I was up early to go to Dublin for my first ever lolita meetup. It was really embaressing getting on the bus in Limerick. Some people looked at me very oddly but no one said anything, which was good. When I got to Dublin the bus was almost an hour early which unfortinatly left me a good bit of time to wander around Dublin in full lolita gear. It was increadibly daunting at first since I was completely on my own. I bought some super pretty accessories in top shop and miss selfrige before meeting up at the spike at 1pm. 3 of the girls were there already. Toph, Gnatarii and her friend (I can't remember her name!) were there when I arrived. After a bit untouched_sugar showed up and we all went to pennys to buy umbrellas (for the people who didn't bring them) and then headed off to the docklands fesitval where we met Amy and Megan as well meeting some giant fish people on stilts, people riding sea horses (whom asked up if we would be the queens ladys in waiting) amungst some other strange things. We got waffles on a stick and candyfloss. I'm glad to hear that the melty candyfloss came of of Sarah dress because it was such a stunning dress! Everyone looked so pretty. We got a lot of strange looks from some people but it was fun when we were all together! After Sarah went home to clean the rebelious candyfloss we went on a boat called Artemis where we got tea (and expensive water). After that Gnatarii and her friend had to get the dart so Amy, Toph and I went to get coffee and tea and muffins in starbucks because we were so cold because of the rain! After that I ran over to Yamamoris where I had dinner with Colm, whos in Dublin for coop before getting the 8pm bus home to Limerick. Aisling (my twin sister) was moving into the house and I felt really guilty not being there to help her move in. Luckily Sacha took care of her for me while I was gone.
So after that amazing weekend going back to work majorly sucked but what can you do? Aisling gets home from work earlier then me and has been making me dinner the last few days which has been lovely since I never get dinner cooked for me. She was joking saying how Sacha, who isn't working has almost never cooked for me and I suppose it's true. He said it make him feel kinda guilty and he apologised for never making dinner. I just smiled as said I never expected him too. I suppose I know what to expect after going out with him for two years. I love him to death but he's not exactly the most romantic guy in the world. He doesn't cook spontanous dinners or buy me flowers or arrange spontaneously romantic things but he's never done that sort of thing so I don't ever really expect him to. Like every girl, yeah sometimes I wish he would do something like that. You know, surprise me but I just don't expect that to happen. He doesn't do that sort of thing I suppose. More then anything I think I'm still getting sick of the general monotony of the week where we just stay in the house and not do much and I'd like him to break it once in a while but he's obviously happy with how things are. Plus the last thing I want to do is go up to him and be like "be more romantic" because I do believe I have a very high expectation of romantic. Like picnics and flowers and the like. Nothing too cheesy like poems or anything (yick) but something other then words to show how much he loves me. But then the normal part of me is like "yeah but that should be enough. He shouldn't have to buy you flowers or bring you on picnic to show you he loves you." but you know, disney may have warped me slightly. Coming home and watching a movie with him is usually all I need. Plus when i think like this I feel so very selfish, which I can often be. It's a whole "pay attention to me" dealio I suppose.
Gnatarii was showing me the claddagh rings her and her boyfriend has and I thought it was so sweet. I've always loved claddagh rings but until then I had never looked up what the actual symbolism was behind them. Now that I know the symbolism I adore these things even more. As a child I always wanted one but because I was so horrid (and still am) at keeping jewellery my mum wouldn't buy me one. However now I'm kind of glad of that since I can see that they really should be given to you by your partner, although I suppose parents do work too. I may ask Sacha to get me one for my birthday (although thats aaaaaages away!) but once again I feel selfish and guilty asking him to buy me things. Also I'm horrid at subtle hints so I can't do that either. I have the money but I don't want to buy one for myself, since that takes away the specialness of it.
Also I may be going to Paris over the summer! Yays! I get to go on holidays (even if its only for a few days) but most importantly I can go to the Baby the Stars Shine Bright store there! 8D Yes I totally have my priorities straight but I'm happy because it means I'll be able to try the dresses on and such!
I'm going back to Dublin on Saturday for my cousins communion. I'm going to wear my bodyline dress casually again I think. It looks like a cute summer dress when dressed down. =3 On Sunday I'm working in the restaurant again after what seems like forever. In a sense I'm kinda looking forward to it a small bit! XD It seems wierd but atleast its more entertaining then my job during the week! I am also currently impatiently waiting for the final Full Metal Alchemist chapter to be translated. I am so very excited about it.
TL:DR: Had fun in Tralee and dublin for lolita meet up. Knackers wont stop helling stuff at me. I'm quite selfish. I really fucking want a claddagh ring. I'm going to Paris with the sole purpose of buying lolita clothes. I am very impatient.
Also I need some days off to recover from my weekend! XD;;
Wall of text over. People back to your day jobs! 8D
