| Ok, So I'm starting the almost impossible, I'm going to attempt to read the 1001 books to read before you die list. Needless to say its going to be difficult as some of the books were written in the 1800's. But here's to hoping. I don't know if this is going to pan out how I want, I keep getting distracted and reading books that aren't even on the list.
And to add to that I have just signed up for the Witfit challenge, which should be interesting. One prompt and I'll see if I can actually finish something. *crosses fingers*
Ok, on to another challenge. I'm just all about the challenges at the moment. I have made a bet with Jacob (my perfect other half) that he can not finish reading the first book in the series "the wheel of time" buy the end of January 2010. What is so special about the bet you might wonder. Well he hasn't finished reading a full novel in fives years.So I have made him the bet that he can't finish it by Jan '10. But where's the fun if I don't participate. So I have to read all 3 books in the "Inheritance Cycle" by the end of Jan '10. This should be interesting because I haven't picked up these books in about 3 years, and I haven't even read the third one. The terms of the bet haven't been quite set yet. The winning prize still has to be decided. What I know so far:
- Jacob must finish Book One of the "wheel of time" series by January 2010. - I must finish all three books in the "Inheritance Cycle" series by January 2010.
RULES * NO Audiobooks * Must have last page read by 11:59pm January 31st 2010
PRIZE * Individual still being decided * If we both win we are going on a holiday!
Let the sore eyes and sleepless nights begin :P | |

| On 27th of June 2009 at 2:45am a great man was taken from this world, that time has now come to deal and live in a world without him in it. Which even to this day is hard, its has been the most devastating few weeks of my life, I can never recall a point in my life when I have been in this much pain. On the day (3rd July) we said goodbye and let him rest Simon read a poem that My sister and I wrote, the words will never express what we turely wanted to say, and how much we loved him.

| It has come to my attention that life really isn't that long. If we leave here that's it, never again will we be able to ring that one person again and ask them how they are, they will never brush their hair again, or clean their teeth. They won't be ok again, but hopefully they will be at peace. The question then becomes will the people they leave behind be ok. Are we unselfish enough to enjoy that we are still here. Do we have the willpower to move one, not to forget them but remember the greatness of them? Do we know how to live in this world with out them in it?? It's said time and time again. 'You don't know what you've got until it's gone' but until you have it taken from you, that saying will never be anything but a cliched saying that you hear the old folk say. No pain can be truely understood unless you've felt it yourself. This entry will be depressive as while we are thankful for the time we had with him, we will struggle to say goodbye when that time comes. Posted via LiveJournal.app. | |

| Ok so the last time I was here was November and since then so much has happened. It seems like every time I sign on here I'm apologising for not typing, I mean I don't even know who I'm apologising to. Who reads it besides me right?
Anyways I need to start writing here more often just to get everything off my chest. Though I may be blonde, however I'm not stupid enough to actually vent on here about personal/work matters just my luck someone is bound to find it and then I'll be in the shit. So a lot has happened I got made Assistant Front Office Manager at my job, which is awesome but the biggest problem is I went in with no training while my manager was already gone and the guy that filled her spot wasn't overly that great it just sucks, as I just had to wing it majority of the time. I feel like I was spending most of my time there which I guess doesn't worry me that much but I just don't really have staff that I can rely on, if I'm away a weekend everything seems to stuff up. It bites. My manager is back, which has changed everything around. I actually get two days off a week, and when I'm gone, I'm not on call 24/7 as there is nothing stuffing up. Its been a great experience.
It has made me realise that I do not want to stay in the hospitality business for the rest of my life. I still want to settle in the country side of Ireland with my little B&B, but I have decided to do a degree in social science. I am enrolling tomorrow, and starting in June. So that's exciting I really can't wait to do that.
There is so much that I can't even blend it together to flow correctly, so I'll just keep typing and quit trying to get it to make sense.
I have decided to take up singing again, which will be good. I have this goal by the end of the year, I want to be able to play a song on the piano and sing, while (he doesn't know it yet) Jake plays the guitar. Now all I have to do is buy a piano, which is slightly ambitious so I'll go the less expensive route and buy a keyboard. Which I will thank K-Rudd for as that what I'm using my $900 for, a keyboard and clothes. I need to find a good singing instructor though. Which I'm finding difficult, but I'll get there. I was thinking about going and doing this acting course which runs for a term, I'm hoping that it will give me more confidence, as this is my main problem I get too embarrassed. I really wished I had of gotten bitten by the acting bug in high school, but I was always the academic instead of the performer. Preforming was always my sisters gig.
Speaking of My sister she is getting married on the 7th of November this year. She picked out the most gorgeous dress for the maid of honor dress. I can't wait for her as she is so excited. She is already counting down and it's still 6months away, which I guess isn't really all that long.
So I have twitter, which I'm still trying to get use of. The only person I know on there is my cousin, I can't convince my friends to get one, so maybe just maybe I might give up on the twitter-verse.
Well I'm sure I have more to say but I have to get back to work. Are the joys of being grown-up. | |

| OMJ... Only officially a week until I graduate I don't think I have ever been this excited, yay. It's all coming together finally, I was waiting for so long for the bottom to fall out and am so glad that it hasn't. I can't wait for this year to be over so I can start the new year. 2009: the Year of BEC. Bahahaha.
I'm so excited I don't even know what to type. I have like a million things going on in my head. I'm so excited :o) I have to go cause I can't sit still.
Gotta go :o) | |

| Wow, for once this won't be bitching just peaceful. I'm really content, not long before I finally graduate and get out of hell. So much is happening, I graduate on the 2nd Dec. Its been a long time coming, can't wait to get out that hell hole. Not one of the teachers know what they are doing. Except maybe two can't complain about Thomas and Chan, love them.
Anyways I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me, with exams and assignments then once I graduate, High School Musical is released on the 4th of December, then Twilight comes out on the 11th. Plus all my family and friends are going to be here. So no rest for the wicked.
I can't wait till Twilight, Rob Pattison is the perfect Edward Cullen, tho I have to admit it took a while for Kristen Stewart to grow on me, I know a lot of people say now when they read the books they have the actors that play in mind, the only person that I see in my head when I read Twilight is Rob Pattison, then the rest are my own concoctions that I've had from the beginning. Though Ashley Greene is close to how I imagine Alice. The way Alice is described in the books reminds me of Drusilla in Buffy the way she supposedly dances to a destination and the vision. I think Juliet Landu would have been a good choice for Alice as well, but I'm pretty sure Ashley Greene can hold her own and make Alice even more lovable. I adore jasper and from the tv spots and trailers and pictures Jackson Rathbone did an awesome job. I con honestly say from watching all the trailers or anything twilight related I don't have a problem with any of the people cast. Can't wait to see it.
Well as usual I have to go and do an assignment.
Over and Out... | |

| Still bitchy, yeah so three days later and I still haven't finished my project assignment its so stupid. I'm just complaining because I really have no idea how to do it. I keep wishing that somehow it will just finish itself off. Well this two lines of bitchy so I better go and finish this annoying thing. - Location:Home!!

| Ok so another bitching session. Project management is the worse subject ever invented. This assignment is taking me forever, it is so boring I keep losing interest. Hence why I'm back on here for a major bitch rant. Ok so maybe its only a two liner bitch but I really have to get back to this stupid assignment, I should be watching the Mummy 3 at the moment.
Change of subject, I have read some reviews about it and apparently it's not overly awesome which bites, as I really love the first 2. But I keep an open mind and hope for the best. So according to my mum its pretty good, so thats good news.
Well its officially 10 pm and I'm not even close to finishing this assignment so I better cruise, and get it finished.
TTFN xoxo | |

| Ok so its been a while but meh. Anyways to start this off I started my new job a couple of Fridays just gone, at first it was a little so so, but now I think I might quite enjoy it.
I stupidly went back to hell!!! I promised myself I wouldn't complain to my family and friends about it as I was the one that chose to go back. They didn't make me, and most said "don't do it." But they needed help so I offered, therefore I am using my blog to vent on things that are driving me nuts.
So my new job is awesome with a K, I'm moving out to DFO instead of being at BD which is good, cause BD is so quiet. Anyways I won't be there long i plan to pack up everything at the end of next year a travel. I'm so excited I cant wait to travel and see the world, I'm going to have to save every penny though from here on out, I can't afford not to, should be awesome I'm going with my friend Dixie. We really want to live in NYC but its way to expensive to so we are going to live just outside in like the next state over and just visit NYC.
So anyways the really reason I came back was to bitch. Was THE BRASSEY. I can't believe it has gotten so bad I just don't understand. The job is really good and not that hard, so I'm still sitting here wondering why, people can't get it. Why are they struggling, it's not rocket science people!!! honestly its common sense. Then again maybe its just not in some people to have people skills or sense. Ok, I'm done being mean, I don't like it but it just makes me so angry :/
So after all that, I'm too scared to read back over it because it probably doesn't make sense.
Well I better get back to doing this overly boring and annoying assignment grrr it's not fun!!!
And some happy news a month after it was release I finally got my new jonas brothers album. Its so awesome, I'm quite in love with it. I'm loving the "love bug" and "Video Girl"
Well I'm over and out for the time being. - Location:School
