So I was on the bus yesterday, on my way into town and there was a woman sitting across the aisle from me. She was fairly old probably any where from 70-80. At the next stop, a man of around the same age gets on, and when he sees the woman, he takes a double take and says:
"AH JAYSUS! HOWIYE? Sure I thought you died."
I could barely control my laughter.
Imagine seeing someone you thought had died.. on a bus? Jaysus, I'd take a heart attack.
And ladies. I have some mauvaises nouvelles. You see, this year, my family are having a French student stay with us for two weeks. And we shall have to entertain said student, which of course means family outings and whatnot.
And tennis three times a week. FML.
Well it's good news for me, cos I want a student.. But bad news for you because this means I have restricted internet access for two weeks. Quelle dommage! However I shall try my best to keep you updated and comment on as many blogs as possible, but if I'm slacking, it's not my fault.. and it's only two weeks anyway!
Don't miss me TOO much.

Pride!
So basically yesterday was...
So far.
Yesterday was the Dublin LGBT Pride Parade 2010.
And what better way for me to celebrate it, than make a shirt for my friend? :D I told my dad it was for me and he was all *awkward*.
The word "amazing" does not fall under how much I enjoyed yesterday.. And I'm not even a raging lesbian! Everyone was so happy and carefree and I couldn't help but think, this is probably where these people must feel the most at ease with themselves.
One of my favourite things about yesterday was seeing the crowds of people cheering us on and waving flags and all, it felt so good that they accepted everyone and that there was so many of them, you know? It was just plain amazing. Another thing I liked was the amount of children that were there, because I just thought how great it was that people were bringing their kids to it, and how accepting they were. There was one moment where I looked out into the crowd, and I saw a woman with a kid in a buggy (about two/two and a half years old) and the kid was clapping along like crazy, and I laughed and pointed her out to my friend.. And as I was pointing her out, I caught eyes with the mother.. And I don't know, but it was one of those moments. She smiled back, and I couldn't help but think, she doesn't know I'm straight and was there to support my friends, but for all she knew, I AM gay.. And she didn't mind.
Things have changed. They really have.
My friend (Catzy) and I. I only realised now how weird we both look, but I'm not uploading another :)

I'm a depressing bastard tonight. But I've been thinking.
I want to do two blogs about today.
One on the Gay Pride Parade, which I'll do tomorrow and another on an epiphany I had.
See, today I was walking through town to get a bus, and a man was handing out medals, you know the religious kind. I took it from him, thanked him and walked on.
When I got home, I just happened to find it in my pocket.. And I've had a bit of a rough evening and I was thinking "What was the point of him handing these out? Is it supposed to make everything better? Protect me? Or what?". Then I thought, "Right God, if you're here, if you're real, change this, change everything."
Then I remembered various conversations I've had with religion teachers, priests and other people like that. God doesn't prove himself, you've to have faith in him. So wait a second.. What that means is, and I only realised this an hour ago, that everyday my faith is tested with people dying, bad things happening, you know what I mean. But I, the person who he is putting through all of this, is not to expect an answer when I call upon him? And I'm not talking about tonight, I've called him before, when I had faith. My mam had cancer two summers ago, my friends all abandoned me (bar one, who had to do the job of many friends) and I was left there virtually on my own, the only reason I hadn't tried to kill myself was because I knew my mam wouldn't forgive herself if I did. She'd blame herself and lose the will to fight the cancer. God didn't help me then. He didn't give me guidance. He left me. Or was never there to begin with. Maybe I could say he didn't help me because he knew I wouldn't be the reason my mam died. But why did he risk it?
Not that my situation was as horrible as some people go through. I don't know if it's made me a better person in the long run, I don't know. But the thing is, there ARE worse off people out there.
Where's God when they need him?
It's really amazing the thoughts that stem from a necklace. I don't know, maybe I'm on my own because I don't believe, or maybe God realised I didn't have a strong enough faith. I'm certainly not criticising anyone for their faith in God. You're a stronger bunch than I am.

So this is how I've spent my past week.
It's time for an educational post today. Well, not so much educational as.. you'll get what I mean in a minute.
Today I'm going to show you how I made a t-shirt! *the excitement*
So first things first, what you'll need is a blank t-shirt (no way).
Apparently now, the paint goes on to already washed t-shirts better.. But I didn't bother to be honest.
Then, you'll need some fabric paint.
Now, you'll need some stencils etc. Depending on what you wanna put on your t-shirts. I wanted writing, so I bought a sponge alphabet for €2.
Now, think of something witty. Okay thought of something? Yeah, make sure you have the correct spelling and grammar. Don't want to look like a fool now do we?
NB. PROTECT YOUR AREA WITH NEWSPAPER. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR GROUNDINGS/BEATINGS ANY PARENTS/TABLE-OWNERS MAY INFLICT UPON YOU WHEN THE PAINT GETS EVERYWHERE. COS TRUST ME, IT DOES.
Now, put some newspaper or some thick cardboard in the inside of the shirt (it tends to go through to the other side) and simply throw some paint onto the sponge and lash it onto your top. Doing well are we? Yeah, well make sure to wash your hands quite often (paint gets EVERYWHERE, but I'll show you how to deal with that later).
So, I printed out "make tea, not war" (I wore it today and the bus driver laughed at it *smiles*) here's what it looked like:
Soz it's sideways, I'm not sure how to fix that :/ Anyway, you get the picture. Now although it looks pretty unflattering and square, don't worry! It looks good on!
Look at that sexy bitch. (I'm sorry)
Now clearly cos I'm a talentless bastard and the paint gets everywhere, there were quite a few blobs of paint scattered around the gaff. So to fix this, I stenciled a heart (I'll link a video of how to do that at the end) over the little blobs.
Both of these are me fixing mistakes.
I've become quite obsessed with this, and here's another I'm in the process of making:
..reading my diary..
Name that show? :)
"What's with that bizarrely placed heart Ailish?" you say.
"Oh, well I dunno. I didn't make a mistake or anything, I just felt like putting it there" :/
Moving on, after you're finished with your design leave it to dry (preferably over night, that way you're safe). Then get some greaseproof/baking paper, put it over it and iron (as shown above. That photo makes me feel really dizzy).
Here is a video on how to make your own stencils. It's super easy. Though, I've never tried the first way of doing it. It looks like it requires effort, but still, it looks easy enough. She shows another way though, that I use.
Enjoy!
Here's some alphabet soup.. Straight from my bathroom sink!
Today I'm going to show you how I made a t-shirt! *the excitement*
So first things first, what you'll need is a blank t-shirt (no way).
Unforch I didn't take a photo of this part. Oh well. But I bought white t-shirts(men's, I like the fit better) in Penneys for €3.
Apparently now, the paint goes on to already washed t-shirts better.. But I didn't bother to be honest.
Then, you'll need some fabric paint.
You can buy this paint in probably any decent craft shop. I got mine in the Art and Hobby shop for €3.99
Now, you'll need some stencils etc. Depending on what you wanna put on your t-shirts. I wanted writing, so I bought a sponge alphabet for €2.
Now, think of something witty. Okay thought of something? Yeah, make sure you have the correct spelling and grammar. Don't want to look like a fool now do we?

An Award from Amy.
The Honest Blog Award. nomnomnom.
Amy gave me an award, because I'm amazing and follow her! I've to answer these questions and then award six other honest bloggers.
Share 1 thing no one knows about you.
That no one knows about me? I don't think that's possible. :S I live far away from civilisation. How's that?
What is your biggest regret in life? (hello, everyone has regrets)
I REGRET NOTHING!! I'm kidding.. My biggest regret would be.. letting my friend go. I shouldn't have. :(
Have you ever been jealous of someone else’s blog page and why?
Yeah, of course! Some people have such good relationships with their followers. I can only hope I'm like them *.*
What would you do for 1,000 dollars?
This is a hard question.. I would eat a spider.
What secretly makes you happy? (Money? Kids? Porn? Sunshine?)
Annoying people :) But being with friends, sun and ice-cream also do the job.
If you could go back in time, would you still pick the person you are with right now? And why? I'm not with anyone.. But knowing me, if I were, I probably wouldn't pick the same person.
What do you like or dislike about my blog page?
I dislike how few followers you have *cough*click me*cough*. Granted you're only starting.. But I like your posts and pictures :)
If you could take a trip anywhere, who would you take with you?
FRANCE/Germany/New York. I would take.. someone fun. Probably a friend ^^,
I am awarding...
you know, awarding people is my least favourite part of an award, because I'm always afraid they won't want to do it. D:
However I shall tag:
Lauren
Eleanor
another Eleanor
ЯANdOM ЯAWR
Mizz Ali

Taylor Swift...
Okay, so lately I've become.. "obsessed" as some people like to call it with a certain Taylor Swift.
But look at that adorable face? How can you not become obsessed with her?
She looks gorgeous, she acts gorgeous and she sounds gorgeous. The word gorgeous lost all meaning for me. Anyway, she's a beaut.
Did you hear that she did a fourteen and a half hour meet and greet the other day? Now that's what you call dedication to fans.
By the way, you might wanna listen to this. It's "Forever and Always" on piano. It actually brought a tear to my eye.
Sorry for the short/random post, I'll have a proper one tomorrow, I'm just gushing with all the Taylor ^^,
Thank you for all the lovely comments and the 23 followers. I'm so delirah :D

Workworkwork
My legs are aching, my head is pounding, my arms are sore and my patience has been tested.
Hi you guys, I'm just back from work as a lounge girl! Thankfully, the money is keeping me in a good mood, though I'm not getting properly paid til next week (FORFUCKSSAKE) I did get my tips.
I'm going to look for a proper job tomorrow, because I only work for them the odd day they need me. I would accept a job in McDonald's in a heartbeat. I will never be a full-time lounge girl/barmaid. whatever. Never happening. Ever. I haven't got the patience for sober men to flirt with me, let alone those fueled with alcohol.
And another thing, on the subject of men.
I wanted to shout
But I assume that wouldn't go down too well.
I hope you're having a lovely Sunday and a happy father's day.
Oh and by the way, thanks for the 20 followers. I'm moving up in the world!

Watershed anyone?
Sorry lads, there's some swearing in this, but I'm just quoting! So if you're young and impressionable or if you don't want to read it, that's fine, I'll have a normal post up later, I just have to blog about this!
Picture the scene.. It's a lazy Friday evening, around half six.. My friend and I have just bought orange ice-pops and are walking through a quiet housing estate, where a handful of people wait on the bus, and one woman cuts her garden hedge. A car, with four twenty-somethings inside slow down beside us. "Typical" I think, waiting for them to shout out abuse at us. Well, not abuse exactly, but no one wants to hear someone shout "NICE ARSE!" at you. Especially when you can hear the sarcasm in their voice. Anyway, one in the back shouts out "yhuurr gettin well stuck inte dah ice-pop, arn ye luv?" which roughly translates from Dublin talk as "you're getting well stuck into that ice-pop, aren't you love?". Which is no lie, because we were.
They drove on a little, but then suddenly slowed down A LOT. The guy in the passenger seat rolls down the window, sticks his entire torso out and roars, at the top of his voice (reminder, we are in a quiet estate) "I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK. I LOVE D!CK." I just stood there in shock.
In fact, I probably looked a little something like this:
It did take a few minutes for the hilarity of the situation to sink in. And by then, I was crying with laughter (yeah, I only spent half my life putting on my make-up that morning). The faces of the people waiting on the bus, were priceless. I just keep remembering it, and the seriousness of his expression and how loud it was, seriously, thank Lord there were no kids around, it was half six!
I only wish I could have recorded it. I'd watch it every day.

The Hunger Games.. Suzanne Collins.
See the title? Go to your nearest bookshop, and buy the book of the same name. I don't care if you've no money, go to the library. I don't care if you can't read, buy it and pay someone to read it to you.
No matter what other books I read, I've a feeling this one will always be in my top favourites. I sat and read for two hours straight last night, fell asleep and when I woke up, the first thing I did (aside from getting some food) was crack open the book again. Seriously, I cannot give this book enough praise, I can't even begin to grasp how amazing it was. Amazing is a weak word to describe how good it was. I felt as if I was actually right there, fighting for my life. I'm gushing, I know. It was just brilliant in every sense of the word. This is the thing that annoys, about Twilight.. The love in this book is nothing compared to Bella and Edward. Why aren't people wearing "Team Gale" or "Team Peeta" t-shirts? Because, they should be.
Read it. And read it NOW.

Hi there. I wanted to do a more personal blog for a change, because I don't really think I do that very often.
Lately, well the past week or so, I've started fraternizing with some new people. Well, some of them are new, they're friends with mutual friends, and through that we've begun to hang out. And I must admit I'm still at that awkward stage. I mean, although with my last group of friends, we didn't "end on bad terms" or even "end" as such.. We just drifted. And to be honest, some of them have been really bugging me lately, so I just want to get away from them all. But it seems weird at this stage to almost be "ditching" them, especially considering my best (female) friend still hangs out with a few (one or two) or the others. And I really don't want them to think that I don't like them anymore, or have ditched them.. But I really don't want to hang out with them.. And at the moment, it's almost awkward on the rare day that I actually do hang out with them. I don't know, I feel like I have no proper friends, and that no one really knows the "true" me because I'm far too afraid to show her. It's just hard I mean, to fit in and to find my place in a group, and I'm not used to it at all. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself.

I think this is a lovely picture. And yes, I took it.
So uhm.
Well, I didn't exactly do my "five hours studying" last week.. I might try this week. Though, I'll have to do 10 hours that way. :/ I'll see what the weather is like. I mean, let's be honest here, it's never sunny in Ireland, and I need to get my yearly dose of vitamin D in whatever sun I can get my hands on. Granted, I realise I could study outside. But whatever. Maybe I should consider it. I have only got €3 to my name until Saturday. And I don't want to break into my savings...
Like my face? Me wants that hat back :(

Jesse St. James
I had heard from a friend that the actor who plays Jesse St. James on Glee, Jonathan Groff (I thought he looked like a Jonathan.. Jonathan's always look similar, I know two, who look kinda like him.. Strange) was gay. And I decided to investigate this, as in the last episode, during Bohemian Rhapsody I was thinking that, from his body language. So I googled him. Clicked on one of the first links, happened to be a Wikipedia article (for the record I did type "Jesse St. James").
Jessie St. James
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Glee character, see Jesse St. James.
Jessie St. James is an American pornographic actress who was one of the biggest stars of the "Golden Age of Porn".
Wow, I wonder was that naming intentional?
And she's watching him with those eyes.. And she's loving him with that body, I just know it.. He's holding her in his arms late, late at night. You know, I wish I had Jesse's girl.

Why?
I'm not sure if you can read that.. But why is it that when you type in "why" the top three results are related to Irish people and two are insults?
Is this everywhere?
Also, if you missed my animal testing post, please do read it!
Animal testing. (and I'm sorry!)
Back in September of last year, had you have asked me my opinion on "animal testing" I'll tell you exactly what I would've said.
And I'm sure, for the majority of people, that's what they would've said too. But would you ever do anything about it? No, probably not. However, this all changed for me in October. You see, we had modules of Religion, and the topic of one module was "morality". About two days before the final project was due, by chance, I ended up partnered with a friend of mine (through a falling out with another). Seeing as the project had to be done quickly, I suggested animal testing, thinking;
This wasn't what happened at all. To say it changed my life does sound like an exaggeration, but it's true. To this day, I have bought nothing (except toothpaste and some shampoos.. I'll explain that later) that has been tested on animals. And I mean, it's not like I went and threw out all my make-up, and bought new. Of course I didn't. Aside from the fact that I'm not loaded, I'm also not a waster, and I love a good bargain. So what I did was, any time I needed anything, I bought from a brand that didn't test.
Here's a list of the companies that do test. Clickyclicky.
And here's a list of companies that don't test.

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts, and for not commenting on many blogs lately, I'm a bit behind, but I mean, it's summer ^^, And also, I will go into more depth about animal testing and all (I'm aware I didn't explain it, it's just that I haven't got a lot of time at the moment, but it will be up in the next few days.. And I also don't like reading long posts so I won't write them), so if you want to leave any questions, go ahead! Maybe I might even do some reviews, who knows? Anyway, I hope you're all having and excellent weekend and I'll talk to you all later.

Summer: Day 2.
Ah. So.
Well. Today I learned that snails can live up to 15 years. Imagine being a fifteen year old snail. Seriously, that astounds me.
The electricity went. Just as baby Mike was born into my Legacy (it rained today). I nearly killed someone. But it turned out for the best in the end, cos I reloaded it, and she had a baby girl, whom I named Lynette (yeah, it's all Desperate Housewives). Then I went out to buy Marie Claire (Taylor Swift is on the cover) but they hadn't got it. Sadface. I went babysitting and we made a Swiss Roll. Too bad we hadn't got the right ingredients, so it got kinda (and by kinda, I mean very, messed up). You have no idea how bored I am of summer already. Not that I'd rather be at school, I just don't have much to do.
Have no fear however, I have plans for tomorrow. I have a social life. Wait, who am I kidding?
Oh and I thought that I should explain my name. My name is Ailish. But I hate it, and my friends were trying to give me a nickname (for want of a better word) and Snailish stuck. Though Gaylish was quite popular for some time. No, but Snaily's awesome.

Summer: Day 1.
So, last night was fun. I went to a friend of mine's house, as a well deserved "THANKGODFIFTHYEARISOVER" gathering. Gatherings are always fun. (For the record, "someone" isn't me, I just want to remember how funny that moment was for the rest of my life.) Some people got a little too drunk, and someone got sick on the stairs. Honestly, I've been getting flash backs of that all day and thinking... about how hilarious it was. Especially considering I had been all "Stop it, you're making a fool of yourself." But no no no, let's ignore Ailish and throw up on the stairs. Really, people these days.
Today, however, was considerably less exciting. Or shall we say fun. I cleared out my bedroom with the help of my mother. A long over due clearing out. But now it's pristine, though it won't stay that way for long.
I've also started a Legacy on the Sims2 and I'm on my second generation. It is a pure nightmare. I've built my Sims a... "shack" is the best way to describe it. A bathroom with a shower and a toilet, and a living room/nursery/kitchen make up the "house" (ie. the parts that have walls). The bedroom is outside, along with the study and the game room. I named the Starter-Sim Mary-Alice Young, and she got married to Benjamin Long (staying with her name though) and they've had a daughter named Susan. I'm trying to get an heir who has Mary-Alice's grey eyes, and let them carry down with the heirs. I'll add some pictures of my Legacy so far tomorrow (I'm not on my computer).
I'm having one of those "we need to get out more moments" on Facebook at the moment.

This is my favourite GMH.
Gives Me Hope
A little girl was dying of cancer and her younger brother had a match for the bone marrow she needed.
The doctors told him it was a matter of life and death.
After he had the surgery, he asked the doctors how long he had to live.
He thought if he gave his bone marrow to let his sister live he would die - but he did it anyway.
