Well its been five days I think, in Ireland and Im here for two weeks travelling around this beautiful counrty visiting the masses of my irish relations. So far its been good appart from coastal weather... basically alot of misty rain.
We started off on the swansea to cork ferry which is an over night ferry, its something lke ten or eleven hours, now if your like me and have an uncontrolable imagination, well put it this way all I was thinking about was the titanic obviously that wouldn't happen but you know I tend to stress myself out when Im travelling and I was set on staying awake for the whole trip but that was impossible because I crashed out with six hours to go and got up with ten minutes to spare to get all of my crap wake up a bit and get my ass out of the bed and room, get to the car put all of my crap in it and then stuff myself in it. To be honest there was hardly any space in the car because my dad refused to take a trailor or the topbox so we had to cram four bags with two weeks worth of cloaths in it and all of the camping stuff which consisted of 2 tents a beach tent four air beds two sleeping bags one douvet four/six pillows( I have no idea) a cool box a cooker two tables three beach chairs, a flipping rug ?! what the hell happened to minimal packing I dont know. somehow we fitted it all in plus four people experienced campers see :)
well we spent on night actually camping and that was quite nice and sunny , but every other night we've been over martin john's, and like true holiday campers we've been in the pub every night of this holiday.
right now im on noel's laptop and I do feel a bit bad because we've kicked him out of his room so we have somewhere to sleep and we've just basically taken over. But you know I've been behind on this whole blog diary thing so I thought when I have internet to do it so its not some huge thing I cram together after two weeks and probably miss out everything I'd want to remember. typical me.
tomorro were leaving the lovely quilty and going to dooley or something to see auntie kitty and we'll be there for a few nights hopefully there'll be internet :)
Something ive noticed about the irish comunity is they take alot of pride in their homes , because they build them themselves and there all as extravagant as there money allows. But they all have dogs, minimum of one or two, but everyone here has a dog, and i'v seen about ten boxers so im thinking that thats the breed of choice.

AHHH!
I am sooo bad at this I've missed like what two weeks now! I knew I'd never do it everyday. At least I know Ive got lots to write about , so sorry for the length of this one :)
Right lets start from holiday uno of summer :)
GOWER!
The plan was for the Fam + Kirsty & Amy, to go for a week but instead, it was Kirsty my Da and Me for the first two days which ment we were left to put up all the tents and everything, BUT on the plus side those two days were the hottest of the holiday and I got a really good tan :)I did burn at first, but it went into a tan. That was good.
First night was infact the first time I went skinny dipping, moonlight/midnight skinny dipping. I have to say it was an amazing feeling, and nowhere near as cold as I thought it would be, it was so exhilarating, definately doing that in the future.
The next day was a drunken haze, until the evening when the rest of the fam and Amy turned up to fill up the tent and we spent that night on the beach having a lovely campfire.
Next morning family beach day have to say there were quite a few jellyfish at that beach and I stood on a dead one, its the most disgusting feeling EVER! Always look at the floor when walking on a beach!
The next day our mate Lloyd turned up and my Dad hurled abuse at him in his fun loving way, calling him a t**t around 100 times a day, and Lloyd was there for 3/4 days so poor kid must have felt abused, but possibly less neglected than the pathetic tent he bought with him. It was from 1967. That just about says it all really. This tent was bright blue and well it has 2 poles, and my Dad is 6'4 and from just below his knee down was hanging out underneath the zip in that tent. It was up for 4-6 hours in rain and wind, Lloyd went to go sleep in it and found it was completely flat to the floor with a massive puddle on it, shocker. He ended up spending his time there sleeping in the livving area of my parents tent.
Me and Kirst had our own tent.
Day two of Lloyd being there and my Dad decided to have a bit of fun and convinced Beca, Amy and Lloyd to go and play pranks on the Duke of Ed people who were staying in the next feild. They pitched lloyds tent in the middle of a circle of them at 1AM when they were all asleep and then Lloyd took someone's trousers and tied them around the wing mirror of their mini bus. He took the rat packs and filled the box with doritos and nut shells, then passed out the rat packs around the tents , fun fun.Poor kids, they all blamed each other and we all sat happily in the middle of the next feild listening to the carnage in the morning, highly amusing.
Then we came up with a good idea, we had loads of cans from all of the alcohol we'd been drinking that week and well 'yanno' last night there why not. Me and kirst waited for them to be asleep and then we took two cans at a time and placed them under the seems of their tents, it took almost an hour and then we gave up, went to sleep and well in the morning the camp leader wasnt too impressed with the boys :) were so mischevious. I get it from my dad.
Well we came back on thursday because my PROM was the next day, so I got my nails done for the first time with acrylics, and got my first spray tan ( the other fake tan was the liquid stuff that always goes patchy) It turned out really well actually :)
unfortunately it was tipping it down and I had to run to the car and got a few patcey bits on my shoulders but it was ok, because I was going to have my hair down anyway. Sleeping though was not good because I had to be so careful not to put to much pressure on any one point of my body, I gave up, no way would I have been able to get to sleep thinking like that.
Once again sorry for the length but Ive missed loads out to attempt to make it shorter but well you can only miss so much out.
PROM. I got up had a bath , and spent 5 hours doing my hair and make up then I went to jade's for 5 and all I had to do was slip into my dress, easy. got there and people were already ready, I just chatted to people, and then before I knew it I was late. Typical, I had to throw my dress and shoes on suprisingly it went on easily, size 8, which is amazing considering I'd been drinking beer the week before.
The limo arrived and it was a pink hummer, lovely. We clambered in after the hustle of parents trying to get photo's and we were off for an hours ride around cardiff ending up at the PROM venue. I didn't expect it to be that hot, but only one window would open which is sooo stupid.
Well lets just say we were happy for the freash air. Prom was from 7-11 and let me tell you , not that good a PROM, I was more excited about the after party, in which I got so drunk I wonder what My limit actually is.
Skipping the hangover day and moving onto the taster sessions at college, went ok. Changed My mind completely AGAIN about what Im going to do , obviously I wont regret it :S who knows.

Sound good to you ? does to me.
Umm nothing at all interesting happened in between then and today ( joke every day is epic, just looked at the size of this and now im seriously sorry).I watched Twilight: Eclipse!!! I adored the books, because I love fantasy stories because there so different from the action, love stuff. I do like action and ROM-COM but, Twilight is a good series in my opinion. Well ive written enough to keep you up to date in my shananigans.
