Updates from the backwards irish girl

In an effort to get my overly slack arse out of everyone from Australias bad books for completely falling off the face of the earth these last few weeks here is some news for you all....

Now this is my first blog as a 23 year old. But perhaps we should think of this and an hours and minutes thing and if I was in Australia I was born at 11am in Australia on the 6th of March which could almost mean that I am in actual fact 23 already (time difference being a big blow our minds way it's pretty late here) So I guess in actual fact i'm really unsure of my age right now perhaps i'm stuck in limbo, and could be any damn age I like right now. Guess what guys I'm 83 and fancy free!!!!!

A lot of you have been asking me what I've actually been spending my time in Dublin doing. ie how can I afford the lifestyle that I lead. The hospital I'm working at is feeding my living right now. And turns out the Nazi Doctor I'm working for is not soooooo totally hitler after all and just has no idea of personality when it comes to working. Not so bad but it's definately a differernt living to the girls at the college.

If you have not heard the great fantastic, hope your sitting down for this or you'll be falling down news. I have a home. A place to store my shit for the long term. And it's with really great people who are so cool. All Aussie house and I have a big bed. and with friend everyting is fantastic!! Tomorrow (a saturday) I'll have to pull myself out of bed early, god damn not on a saturday and go to a store called Argos. Now anyone who's visitied the Northern Hemispere may know a bit about Argos, but for those who don't its the ultimate catalogue shopping game. In fact you don't actually see what your purchasing until you've paid for it, and it's in your hot little hands. But I'm going to buy a bed set, inc. 2 pillows, doona, 2 mattress protectors; a matress topper to make bed more comfy, a lamp, coat rack, and a couple of other things, and all this for just €99.99 wow, but if thats not enough will you throw in a doona cover, No Troy I can do better than that, all of this bedding, plus..........

OK Tangent, sorry.

Saturday we all went on a Porterhouse Pub crawl. The porterhouse is where a regular number of us go for quiz night on a Tuesday night and tend to spend at least every second weekend there too. It was so awesome. First out to Bray, gorgeous place, then to the three in town finishin up at the local. I scored a free T-shirt as it was my birhday, and some free cocktails, because you know you can't knock them back. Just to finish off a fantastic night the cute bartender asked me to go clubbing with them on Sunday. Unfortunately Sunday was a trackies and slobfest day and could not muster the strenth to pretty myself up even for a very cute Bartender.

I have officially found the perfect place to work in Dublin. All I have to do now is get a job there. But if you've got a goal to work towards then life will be grand. It's a childrens hospital, that has a specialist school within it. I could do admin work, and go visit sick kids in my lunch break. Will be so fantastic. So the mission is not lost.

I hope your all enjoying the sunny side of the world. No doubt its gonna get a little better here sometime soon.

Cheerio I'm off to enjoy a cherry ripe cocktail as I can't have the real thing over here, but if any of yas wish to share the cherry ripe nation with me...... i now have a postal address

Hi Carmen
Your trip seems to get better and better, you won't want to come home. I hope you are able to get work at the Childrens Hospital, that would be great, It sounds like you are missing your special kids. Don't overdose on the cherry ripe, if I send another parcel to you, I will try to pack one in the parcel. Love always Mum & Dad
PS - Will have to get your new address.
