this shall henceforth be a two part blog post.............
the first part shall be a retort to daly's blog on her recent trip to see the new Harry Potter(with yours truly)
the second part shall refer to the title of this blog post,in which i almost got recruited by overly zealous religious youth and have only just recovered enough to write about my ordeal.......
anyhews...................
sooooo,i made the trip over to the lovely Edinburgh to see Daly!(thank you €22 ryanair flight!)whoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoop.
there was wine and song and much loudness,so much so that Daly can no longer go back to a certain pub....or restaurant.....ahem......jeez,if they cant take a joke(or two friends who havent seen each other in ages and like to laugh uncontrollably at rude,dirty and inappropriate things).
We also queued(ridiculously early) to see the new Harry Potter!
Now,i have read the books and remember the majority of the story,but im not going to remember the insy weensy details like Ciara "photographic memory" Daly..........
so i was not bothered that they left out parts,i realy enjoyed the film and it meant 2 and half hours of complete escapism(to a world where i could be a witch and where gingers are attractive).......
ah to be 50 years younger eh,i would SO tap that.............mmmmmmmmm.
And so,to the second part of the blog......my escape from the religious loons.
I can only think the reason i avoided their brainwashing was through the sheer filthiness of my own mind.
I came across the cult whilst having dinner in the same vicinity..............i had wine and reacted the only way i know how.......by routing the conversation to be about myself and by being sarcastic.
Afterwards i felt an incredible urge to do something illegal........and dirty.........and wrong............
maybe i shall wait for a reflections-musings-daly-moloney reunion for that...........ladies,ye're mission should ye choose to accept it............................

It might be the champagne but...
How to explain? How to explain? Well I love my darling musings. I really do. In so many ways and for so many reasons. I love the way she has a fantastic laugh, I think we so often associate a good laugh as being hearty and long and yet a short, almost sarcastic laugh can be just as invoking... that's musings. She's just fun and funny, clever but not serious and... loves a drink but not a drunk!
As for Daly... yes we mention her and we have based this whole blog about her, if you didn't know you should... We didn't know she had a blog, as we are partial to mocking (anything) she didn't want us to know and once we found out we thought what can we do to Daly for having a secret blog and we realized we could create a blog that summarizes Daly's blog so that we created a blog that basically does what Daly's blog does but quicker...
Well anyway Daly... Daly is... hmm to explain. We are cruel to her, have an ongoing joke... actually millions of them about everything about her. But the thing is well no one else would take it and I don't mean that only she is fool enough to take it... no it's not only that she can laugh (full and hearty as it happens, like yours truly) but that Daly can make you laugh. She makes you laugh till you snort, till you cry, till you pee yourself. She has this ability to never ask you for anything and yet to always want to give her everything. She is sincere, generous, funny, genuine, caring, funny and well just Daly, what more could anyone want?
The truth is we had all these plans, all these jokes and well Daly made it, she did what none of us did, as quickly (I still have hope) but only cos she really really deserves it, she got her dream job and still works it.
Basically all this jabbering... sadness, drinking, emotional..? Or just to explain...and wait for it. I don't feel jealous, or angry or or or... I don't know..
Basically currently I hate my job, have an eye problem (the eyeball is fine just the skin around it so the doctor was like ummm here's a specialist's number), am getting over food poisoning, and have well ummm that, I don't know if ye remember (maybe I only told reflections cos I only remember her reaction) but I still have that thing on my breast that I never did anything about, never got round to going to a doctor, always thought it would go down and the doctor said (before ye get scared)) it's nothing to worry about but finally just went to the doc and well.... as ye can guess, I'm a stressed little mofo...
this has become a sob fest. All I wanted to do was say is:
I love Musings and Daly. Love them both. We've had so much fun over the years and it continues on (and long may it last). And I can't even hope to explain I am not jealous, or angry or anything like that... I just I am so happy, genuinely happy, that they're meeting up, I know how much fun they're going to have and I'm glad cos I know how much they both deserve it and have earned it. And I really do love them so much and I really can't help feeling a little self pity (that's too strong a word), but a I feel happy for them and a little sad for me that I won't be there.
So in a weird way, I guess, with no plans for this piece, I just wanted to say, have a great time. I know ye will. Fill ye're whole weekend with stories only fit for the best of the stories that we've compiled over the last few years.
I love ye both and enjoy ye're weekend, and hey, I'll be seeing Harry Potter on Friday and surely Daly will have comments on her blog about it and well then the conversation will truly begin!

The one where I go on holidays.........
i confess,it has been three months since my last holiday.........
so this week,i am off to Edinburgh,to see Daly!
i wonder if i could put it down as a working holiday,daly being the source of much of our blog........maybe get expenses...........must confer with my partner in crime........reflections?
so last year,being a slow holiday year,i aimed to get in five holidays in 2010.my trip to Edinburgh shall be my fourth holiday,so im going to have to fit in a sneaky holiday before the end of the year in order to fulfill the promise of five holidays that i made to myself.And i'd hate to let myself down........
Though,i did visit three different countries on the last holiday(did i mention it was in South East Asia?)so im undecided as to whether i should add that to my holiday tally...........
if i did add it,that would mean that i went on six holidays this year,and that just sounds a bit pretentious..........just because i was on like three different continents or whatever,im still down with the recession and people only being able to afford like one holiday to Spain or something.
Also,i've been working now for like 6 weeks or something atrocious like that,without a break so am in dire need of a city break.
Even better,i get to observe Daly in her natural habitat........which shall be later compiled ala David Attenborough style documentary and blogged.........("and so the male mounts the female"......................).
Its great that with good friends you know,no matter how long its been since you have seen them that within 20 seconds its like you have never been apart and are talking about life/trying to give each other wedgies/discussing nuclear science(poo is nuclear,right?).
And we are going to see the new Harry Potter!
I wonder if Daly is open to bringing a bottle of wine into the cinema............?
Also,how cold is it in Edinburgh at the moment?
Thermal granny underpantaloons?yay or nay?
ah,the dilemma's of a jet setting lifestyle..........................

a musing reflection on writing about stuff........
sooooo,it has been again an age since we last posted.
its not because our lives havent been filled with wonderment and excitement.......or because daly hasnt updated her blog(she has,twice.....she loves her iphone and sundays) but its just that my partner and i have a propensity to lose interest in things after a while...........caus we are soooooo
busy,having moved on to the next thing.......obviously.
things we have previously lost interest in:
-going to lectures/college in general when there wasnt an alcoholic beverage involved
-writing an angry letter to cadburys about the decreasing size of creme eggs(there was an alcoholic beverage involved)
-learning a new language(that year spent learning Italian.....ciao,lasagne)
-certain boys(nosebleed guy and an italian lothario to name a few)
though of course there are things that have kept our interest over the years
-home and away(cept for that one time when they had that really stupid story line that went on for months about who was the baby daddy and angie gave him the letter to say he was the dad and he ripped it up,HE RIPPED IT UP,after 9mths of a story line..........it still infuriates me)
-holding grudges(not me personally..........red does suit me,biatches)
-certain friendships(ciara smells)
and of course writing.
personally i have kept a diary from a young age and have seen my writing skills develop from writing about how i hated everyone(i was a dramatic youth) to my greatest work so far: "Truth and Reconciliations Commissions,gender based violence in East Timor".............
stay tuned for my upcoming works:
-a trail of glitter and blood(my autobiography/crime novel)
-the beautiful narcissist(my biography of Ciara M.Daly)
-an as yet unnamed erotic novella ,co-wrote with my partner
its good to write............

long time coming
it has been a while since an update...due to top secret spy stuff obviously and would have to kill everyone if the secret was revealed....that would mean our two readers would be d.e.d.......dead.
though daly did go see eat pray love but didnt review it....yet she wrote about it,but said that it wasnt worthy of a review......is that not in itself a review..........review?and she has a picture up of that guy from the ateam...........i pity the fool who doesnt see the connection there........
im confused........*head hurting*
whilst trying to keep busy my pal reflections and i have been trying to think of inappropriate places to drink wine,or appropriate places to drink wine but its frowned upon.......
so who knew the cinema would be a good place,i mean i cant believe we didnt think of it earlier.i cant help but think that eat pray love would have be slightly more tolerable.
we did go to see "the other guys"..........not sure if it was the wine or not but it made me laugh......possibly louder than everyone else in the cinema,other that my partner in crime.
also,handy tip if you are going to drink wine in the cinema..........bring straws........though things get awkward when it drops into the bottle but by that stage u dont care!
i also managed to provide my partner with some chuckles also when after refusing to handle the cinema bathroom door (caus of the cooties)i almost hit myself in the face with the door.........
so next inappropriate place to drink wine..........on a bike?any tips are welcome!
we shall see................there could be some points to concern ourselves with like trying to manoeuvre the bike on the road and the wine to our lips......i feel our friend mr straw might come into play.....
also have learned two new fave phrases over the past few weeks:
"high ten" where u do a high five but with both hands(ingenious)
"shake your willy caus this pissing match is over"(from "the other guys")
i love to learn.

Thailand!
my last holiday post on thailand,only about 3wks later,can be summed up in a few words:
-full moon party
-pink eye
-elephants
-beach
-ladyboys
and thus was thailand.......fill in the blanks around the words if you want to and thats exactly what happened.
a lasting memory of thailand is the full moon party,of course,gorgeous beaches,seeing some elephants.but its also where we got ripped off the most,got pink eye and met a really scary lady boy!
things i learnt whilst in thailand:
a sleeper train does not mean that u will actually get any sleep.
u can get pink eye from having a shower in the jungle
a monkey should never wear make-up(unfortunate trip to a "safari")
that you can meet really cool people,and slightly mental people(the guy that just loved evil?)
u can have a really great sweet n sour chicken on top of a mountain
dont get in the water at the full moon party caus everybody does their toilet business in there
the only way to tell if its a lady boy is by their jaw-line,everything has been removed and replaced.
it was still a great country but been there,done that,bought the full moon party teeshirt!
the fact that its 3wks since i've come back leaves me utterly miserable!possibly combined with the howling wind outside,it certainly doesnt help!
but i suppose one has to get back to reality,stone cold reality..............poo.
and my vitamin D levels are at an all time low because of the lack of sunshine!and for some reason nobody feels sorry for me being back,because i got to go away in the first place!

Daly saw that new Drew Barrymore film, the one with her husband, who's finally not playing teenagers anymore (though who always has my respect since he was in Galaxy Quest... if you haven't seen Galaxy Quest, I suggest you stop reading and go see it, this will still be here when you're done). Anyway, she liked it, so did the person she went with.
She also asked the question what is brunch when it is after lunchtime Binner or trunch? the answer is... well what exact time did she have it. Brunch goes till 4pm, so after 4pm it's just a case of having french toast for tea... or dinner sorry I just fell asleep writing this I got so bored. My humblest apologies.
before this, as my compadre noted, Daly went through a list of things she loved and apparently we're not on it. Not that I care... I don't care, stop asking me if i care jeese get of my case why would i mind...
Ok so here it is, after a lovely year in Canada, land of polar bears (didn't see any) and maple syrup (man I LOVE maple syrup and yes I even went to a maple farm and saw how it was made but most importantly bought a bottle of the best fecking syrup I have ever tasted), I am now home. I came home for a Christening and then found out my application for a visa was denied and I ummm... well I cried, cos I was sooo sad about it and I loved Canada and my sister sat awkwardly and said shit, ummm shit, I'm shit at this kind of thing... do you want wine? Let's order indian food and have some wine... so we did.
Anywho I rang work to tell them and it was a very short conversation cos I really really thought I was going to cry and I managed not to tell them that I ordered them the present of a kettle (since everyone drank so much coffee and tea) so one of these days they'll receive their mistery kettle, which should be nice.
It is nice to be so close to friends. Here is a basic run down of my first two weeks at home (I'm not going to get too into it)
2nd got home
3rd surprised sister for her birthday (went out and met Henry)
4th family dinner
5th went up north (Banbridge) with sister and new baby
stayed helping and bonding and cooking etc.
12th christening, saw all family
13th met Helen at International Bar (Dublin)
14th went to Waterford to see Trina & Karen
15th back to Dublin Family day (tea, food, tea, film, tea)
16th met up with Jen Carroll
17th Horrible Day of horribleness was at geri's and found out about visa
18th went to tullamore to see Jenny and Eithne
19th Train to Limerick, met Musings, car to New Port met Maz, saw guy who's car with baby in it got stolen (he parked car, locked it, walked away then checked it was locked, guess that's his future) then to pub for free drinks ala Maloney clan
20th Had great time with musings bonding with Mammy Daly who loves us more than Daly, oh the fun times and frolics we had, Limerick with musings, bus back to Dub, out to Blanch to see Davi's band and hang with Jen and Mel.
21st applied for jobs.
So I'm really tired right now and enjoying the house to myself though its crap that I haven't been home yet (Ballyc being home since it has 1. my bed and 2. my stuff). Mammy reflection's laptop is broken, so is mine, so no internet available at home so I have to stay here to apply for jobs... sigh.
I hate looking for work.
