Jaysus, I wouldn't fancy either TBH. Very commendable to want to do that, but it's horrific. Kudos.

Yeah, I get that reaction a lot. :pac: But quite often, therapy for rape and abuse victims is sub-par purely because it's such a horrific topic. And with regards to the criminal psych part, well, someone needs to catch them. :pac: So I figure if I have a very keen interest in it, and the abilities, I'll be doing my part in either field to help abuse victims.

Thats strange I work with Hungarian twins, and they often talk to Polish, Slovakians etc maybe its different dialects depending on the part you live.

There isn't actually any Polish lads where I work, so they might be able to if any turned up! They're from Budapest and their English is pretty poor actually, so maybe they just never needed to learn any extra languages/travel around much.

BTW, does anyone know when/where this year's Dublin Tattoo Convention is on? I figure it wouldn't hurt to go there scouting for artists. Do a spot of networking, y'know?

T'was only on in mid-November, so not for a long while yet. Belfast convention is looking cool and is on in May though.

November, huh? Feck Eirtakon! I think I'll go to this instead! Plenty of time to start saving. That said, with all the violence going on up in Belfast over the whole flag malarky, I wouldn't go up there unless I had no choice in the action.
A shame really as I enjoyed going shopping in Newry. Cheap Drimona cheese and Sainsbury's clothing range... *sigh*

In other news, I've decided that instead of getting a tattoo with any money I might get for my birthday, I'm going try and save for my mother to come to Barcelona with myself, aunt and grandmother. She certainly needs a holiday after the last two years of taking care of me.

Yeh the lads I work with really are from the back arse of nowhere think they live in a village on maximum two thousand people say they have people hanging out of them when they go home because they have money and have iphones etc which were they live is unheard of sounds like a mad place.

Hopefully the next Dublin Tattoo convention is good wasn't at this years one but seemed to attract a fair of controversy due to stall prices, empty stalls etc hopefully its better organized.

Can't sleep so I'm having tea and toast.

To stay on the current topic, I speak nothing but English and have zero apitude for learning languages.

Just Like Heaven

I had a "tea and toast" day yesterday. About 40 cups of tea and I was about to explode cause of all the white bread at one point. Terrible stuff

Orim

That's a lot of tea!

I'm being quite healthy as I have wholewheat bread. Although since it's only really being used as soakage for the rum I had earlier, it's probably not that good.

Also I discovered that Morgans and wine gums do not go well together.

I spend some time in Germany with work. My understanding of German is quite good, but can't speak it very well. I keep meaning to fix that!

I learned French in school too, but is non-existant...

Irish is coming back to me now as my daughter is learning it in school...

must look into that Rosetta Stone thing.... Would love to improve my German.

Been there alright. When I started my current job the canteen we were using was charging a euro for a cup of coffee so I decided I'd get a big thermos and save myself some cash. Big 2 litre job. Brought it in one day and got through the whole lot in two hours. Decided to cut back after that

The punctures. Although splits are never fun. There's just not enough time between them to really do anything.

Jesus, I'm bored. I need a new hobby.

Try archery. It's amazing fun.

Time for me to go to bed, I think. Sorting out college enrollment tomorrow, planning a menu for when I'm cooking dinner for someone in a few weeks, doing some work, and class tomorrow. Busy day, yay.

Night guys!

I agree with ya on the thread. Tis always great to see new work.

I'm here. Running around like a headless chicken, trying to get an appointment sorted with my doctor, get my college application sorted, fill out a CAO for September and get my sister's bags ready because she's having surgery on Thursday and wants me to get stuff ready for her. Stress! Share the coffee?

Orim

Myy cofffeeee!

Productive day, go you! Hope your sister's alright.

I had to fill out my CAO form last week, great fun

Not doing a whole lot. House is cold, fridge is empty. Can't wait to get money tomorrow.

What did you opt for? I feel out of my depth doing it. I left college at 17, seven years later I'm doing it all again!

I've keep meaning to go back to college but money prevents me from doing so. And shifts put a damper in any part time efforts. Also the fact that I haven't a clue what I want to do :P

What are you going for?

I have Medicine in all five schools down. I got the leaving cert results for it last year, but didn't do well enough in the admissions test and missed out by 6 points. (I got 731 points, minimum was 737).

Hence, why I'm not in college. But I'm repeating the admissions test thing in about 6 weeks, so fingers crossed.
