*smirk*

mentalimplosion

Poor Ana.

It wasn't me!

Wouldn't worry about it. I can't piss you off because I'll be asleep most of the time and Campion.... well, he shall be taken care of......

doonothing

yeah, so ctyi!
woo!
excitement....building....
so, foodfights, waterfights, and hide and seek, i like it.
wow...there's just over two weeks left...
then MAID IN MANHATTAN. woo! fun..
maybe if we go REALLY early (like, a day or two early) we could convince the RA's to have mercy...
or, remind them that they too will have to sit through maid in manhattan AGAIN...
or, one of YOU bring a dvd....
a nice PG one...
that could work...
so, ctyi eh?
its gonna be good...

mentalimplosion

i have the wizard of oz on dvd, it has a feature on THE MAKING OF OZ with narration by LIZA MINELLI

and about this going early thing, how early are you going marc?

gigglingrat

I can see ya gettin kicked off the campus before it even begins.
What time are we to be in on the actual day?
Oh, and this may be a stupid question, but do we need to bring art materials for art design? Does anyone know?


Oh, someone bring twister!

twirly sponge

TWISTER!!!!!! Ooh, ooh!!! Great idea! Someone bring twister!

ooh! ME! miss miss me!

eh yeah iirc you used to anyway - check the course listings book or else give the office in CTYI a ring and check it out.

Peterfing

Aw man, we have to bring our own art supplies to Art Design? What kinda crazy system is this?

Well, this thread's name is now very accurate. Only, like, 13 days left til CTYI and its hit me : What if its not as spectacularly fantastical as I am expecting it to be? What if it doesn't live up to the expectations that've been building since .. since whenever they started building.

Oi.... Oh, I do have one of those Twister spinney things though. I think... If not we can just get someone to yell 'Left foot blue' at random.

Also we should all try mingling as much as possible. I know lots of people going back this year and as much as I love em, CTYI wouldn't be the same without talking to EVERYONE randomley and getting to know people you never would've without CTYI...

I'm just sayin all this for myself really, I want to make sure I squeeze every last bit of fun out of CTYI this year as it might be my last...

Awayindahils

this time 2 weeks ill be either tlkin to my roomamtes are roaming the corridors for my friends or quite unlikely but an option asleep.

this time 3 weeks, well what ill be back from doing nothing all day. the first disco will be over and done with (its a neccessary evil the first disco)

this time 4 weeks emmm what ooh is this the day trip day, ive never been on a day trip cos i dnt like going long distances on buses, so given as its me ill have brought a mountain of shopping and my ra group will probably be knee deep in biscuits. well ankle deep.

this time 5 weeks, and itll be all over for me forever *big drought preventing sob* and ill be in the throws of post ctyi depression, a phenonemnon explained to be by a nevermore in 01 but i havent been hit that badly befroe cos i cud go back.

anyway plans. i might do my own washing, well anything cud happen. emm i was thinking about not going home to sleep on sundays, but what do u even do on sundays?

emm does any1 know if there jolt in the shop cos i heard a rumor that said it was stopped? caffine makes me very very hyper so that is a good thing. and i just wanted to write this cos it was in my head.

and just one note on twister, has anyone actually got a twisty thing the nonmatt part that works? every1 i know has theirs cellotaped together. bring it with u if u do and if u really need a water gun dnt foget to bring it in ur actual luggage and dnt buy it in blanchards town cos the ras check the bags.

halenger

The whole nevermore depression still gets at me at times. Mostly thinking on how simple everything was, how many friends I had there and haven't talked to/seen regularly etc etc.

Feh. Life sucks.

gigglingrat

I've gotta chocolate fondue thing I was thinkin of bringin....are candles allowed tho? Cos thats how it melts...

Crash

Er, candles not allowed. nor is incense and a few other things. read the handbook yokey, i'm sure it hasnt changed in two years tbh.

Raphael

Yeah, candles arent allowed

*reads it every year in case they forgot something*

mentalimplosion

you're allowed bring like aerosols and hairspray and stuff, right?

Awayindahils

whether u are or not peole do.

dnt stress.

Barry Aldwell

I don't remember being strip searched or having my bags searched at any point during CTYI. Once you don't go flaunting it around, it's okay

Peterfing

Hmmm... It doesn't say anything about bringing your own art supplies in the thingy. Just says Art students should bring old clothes. Maybe we have to buy our own stuff there like with the text books??

Only twelve days! God...

gigglingrat

Hmmm....
I think I threw out my covered in paint t-shirt from last year.
Damn.

mentalimplosion

my paint covered shirt from last year owned yours, aoife. and remember the plastic aprons?

gigglingrat

I STILL GOT IT!!! Man, am I wearing THAT!*










* maybe

Peterfing

10 days left .....

gigglingrat

whatifitscrapthistimeandimimenslydisapointedandnoonetalkstomeandidiealoneonlytobefoundthreeyearslatereatedbyalsatians?
I just know thats gonna happen.

Raphael

It's never crap. Worse, never crap. it's the PEOPLE that make it good

gigglingrat

Worse...:dunno:
People! Oh yeah, I forgot about them.

mentalimplosion

i'll talk to you [i already have my outfit planned for the first day. ask kate what it looks like]!!! so don't worry. cuz you know the way fun just FOLLOWS me around :rolleyes:

Peterfing

Little more than a week left now. Oi I can't wait. Did everyone get the letter about how people shouldn't bring laptops now? What happened in Session one that got them all confiscated? It says because of the difficulty in supervising such equipment? I'm guessing... porn?

Is anyone going earlier than 3 o'clock? Do they give out keys earlier than that? Also, is anyone going to Oxegen next weekend?

Probably. I don't recall lots of older lads in 2000 hanging around laptops during Arts and Crafts Appreciation.

Awayindahils

and they only decided to pick up on it this year? some ra probably sought revenge...........

the_only_Ali

What exactly are the rules about having people over to visit? Its open campus so if someone one knows should happen to wander by, and one should happen to be in the vicinity, and one should happen to speak to them... Emm... what was I trying to say again? Oh yeah, will you get kicked out if randomers you know turn up? Because I'm being seriously threatened with this occurance.

And I'm planning on being there a little early if I can persuade my parents to bring us. Holly and I want to check out if Dave's back in Spar, and if they still do grapefuit snapple (or maybe thats just me...)

Awayindahils

im going up tomorrow at lunchtime, you can come with me if you want. the ras won't have a clue and i forgot about blanchardstown well mixed up the days. they're not overly strick on visitors, well not when they don't see you.

Crash

RA's have the right to tell you to get off campus. its not actually an open campus, the security can kick you out if they damn well want. you should be grand but don't overstay your welcome i.e. stay for ages because the RA's will get rid of you PDQ

Dude, the RA's are not stupid. We know about this board so putting up your plans in the hope that the "RAs won't have a clue" is pretty futile. We won't kick you out as long as you don't break the rules, it's SOP for everyone else.

Don't taint the course for those that are here now.

Raphael

Big Brother is watching!!!!

It wasn't me!

I went down there last thursday but when I got there we started talking to someone who told us there were some people there from the Oireachtas so we left... sharpish.
