Move Move

Moving is a huge hassle in itself, moving to another city is something I haven't done in awhile so I'm assuming it'll be fine!
=)
Positivity eh?

I genuinely have no internet other than my parent's or boyfriend's right now, but I'll have my own soooon and I'll be CONNECTED TO THE WORLD again!

So exciiiiting.

Ever Feel Wasted?

I've been home in my parents house all day, it's so nice to be here.
I don't get the chance to come back here too much but I love being here.
Reconnecting with myself is so easy here.
I'm not usually this forthcoming with personal details online as it's not my style but I think, perhaps my closed nature is damaging things so it's about time I opened up.

I'm on Buzznet every day, reading, thinking, I wish they payed me as I would be rich!
I love blogs, especially Hanna Beth's, Raquel Reed's and of course, Panasonic Youth's, which may make me sound super scene or something, but I'm not any of that, I think I'm just to nice sometimes. I connect with so many things and I hate having to explain that in myself. I never understood why someone would pretend to hate something they loved to fit in.
I went to a somewhat catholic Irish language speaking primary school and I loved the Spice Girls. I used to make the girls dance with me in the playground until they were forced to seperate the boys and girls so as not to, I don't know, further gayify me? The experience left a horrible taste in my mouth and so I have always stood up for what I love no matter how ridiculous other people thought it was.
Jeffree Star makes me smile and dance.
I love Dirk Mai's photography.
Kat Von D is my hero of the day as her book "High Voltage" arrived today and it's fabulous.
I'm obsessed woth Blaqk Audio, Jay Brannan and Dolly Parton today.
It snowed here in Ireland today and my good friend Ian took some beautiful pictures in Dublin and I love the self portraits he took, they just look awesome and have such atmosphere.

Moving on...
A movie I INSIST that everyone should see is "Into The Wild" starring Emile Hirsch, it's absolutely breath taking.
It's about a man named Christopher McCandles who one day decided to just up and leave, not just his life, but the entire world, it's bullshit culture and mindless consumerism and off he went...Into The Wild.
It' absolutely one of the best, most genuine and most honest and beautigul movies I've ever seen and it's something I'm extremely envious of.
To just up and leave like that.
It'd be amazing.
Though after awhile I would like like a Yeti with insane Lion's Mane like head of hair and a full beard on each side of my face.
It would be beyond worth it though.

However, on the polar opposite side of my mind is the person wearinf beautiful clothes and being generally ridiculous.
People ALWAYS ask why I like Victoria Beckham so much and it's because she was ALWAYS my favourite Spice Girl as she was the underdog of sorts and now she's the most succesful so ha! She is always somewhat fabulously ridiculous and almost walking fashion and I find her so amazing.

Hanna Beth is someone I've just started paying attention to recently, almost by accident.
I was aware of her for quite some time as my house mate is obsessssssed with her and I always thought she was so cute but the last few weeks, I've been looking at what she wears, how she writes and just liking it all!
She looks like Jackie O-does-casualglam here and it's awesome!

I've got a busy few weeks ahead.
Get to see my man tomorrow EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Dublin Friday to see my friend's band play, gonna be awesome.
Week later is Freakscene's 60's+80's night which sounds horrifying but like last time, will hopefully be a lot of fun.
Then myself and a few of the guys are flying to London to see The Cure which I'm SO stoked about. Crystal Castles support which should be awesome. I need to have a ragebegone dance.
THEN it's my 22nd birthday and this is how I feel wasted (to draaaaaaaaaaaaag the title out!) as I'm not where I wanted to be.
Soon though.
Middle of March, myself and Aimee will fly over to somewhere in the UK to see a few of Jeffree's shows, as many as we can.
So. Excited.

I'm pretty excited that my friend Liam's band Days Of Night are doing so well, they're AMAZING and you should go check them out.

Liam and I are hardcore at night haha.

I must sincerely go to sleep now as it is very late and a night of conflicting and incoherent thoughts has made me extremely sleepy.

Buzznet!

I come on here almost every day and I always seem to forget to post something, it's infuriating!
Just wanted to mention that Mark PanasonicYouth was chosen for the AFI Begin Transmission contest, (his video was definitely the best I've seen sooo cute), and I'm SO stoked for him so congratulations Mark!

I actually need to be on here a lot more, I have very disjointed things on here right now, pics, vids etc seem dated now in light of how I actually feel.

Flying to The UK in a couple weeks to see The Cure on the NME tour with Crystal Castles supporting which should be awesome and interesting then flying over again a few weeks later to see Jeffree play again, yay!

My 22nd birthday is coming up too which should be fun.

=)

Red wine and plane tickets...

Gareth Pugh was invited to show at Paris Fashion Week!
I'm deeeeeeeply excited, he makes me think, isn't that what fashion is about?

SUCH an insane couple months; left work, got a new house with 3 of my best friends, cut out someone whom I considered a friend but didn't realise was conspiring against me behind my back.
Can you NOT be a cliche for 15 minutes?
SO over gay people.

My amazing boyfriend excepted.
He makes me smile...

Italy in 3 weeks, I'm soooooooooooo excited, I've always wanted to go.
Hallow'een this year needs to be a small one.
Paris in November, FINALLY.
I wish I was going in time to see Gareth Pugh...hnnnnnnghh! That's going to be something every one will talk about for a loooong time.
I just hope he can evolve from the whole goth trend without losing his edge.

Stella McCartney sunglasses in teal and black make me so ridiculously happy I didn't buy them for a week as I felt too "consumery".
They are just so beautiful.

New photographer means new pictures.
Jilted starts are NOT my friend.

London in March to see Jeffree on my birthday, how fucking amazing is that?!
I actually cannot wait.
Nor can I wait to hear his new music, I know it's going to b amazing.

I just watched Cruel Intentions with Ciara over red wine, I forgot how funny that movie is, if very 90's.
Makes me think of 9 years ago... Cruel Intentions is almost 10 years old, how fucked up is that?!

Anybody else have any favourite 90's movies?

LxK

And then?

It feels like I haven't updated this page in about 5 years.
Everything is so crazy busy, it's stresstastic but it's kind of nice not to be bored.

Working all the time, I hate gay people. Just so you know, hahaha.
Obviously not all of them, just the drunk stereotypes that seem to appear near me.
Getting my first tattoo in the next few weeks, FINALLY settled on what I want to be drawn on me for ever.
=)
I know once I get one, I'll want about 50 more.
Pete Burns cacelled his Dublin show, NOT HAPPY!

Dublin Pride this weekend, I'm going to avoid it like the plague.
I've had about all I can deal with of Pride goings on thank you.

HAVE to buy plane tickets to London with Ciaran, we both keep forgetting and I wanna go and see Richie and shop and see the places Ciaran wants to show me.

So tired, have to go buy food (how mundane!) then collect my new Sidekick phone! I know so many people in the US will laugh or whatever but I'm obsessed with them and have wanted one for years and they're not available here so I just fucking bought one on eBay.
Have to get it unlocked and all that jazz though, soooo excited!

It' definitely time for me to go now.

I MUST find POP magazine somewhere in this city today.

Something for the week ahead...

It feels like I haven't put anything new on here in fucking ages!
I guess I actually haven't though...
=)

The last few months have been really cool, new everything, it's been a lot of fun.
Pete Burns is playing in Dublin, dear GOD I can't wait.

CRAZY Weekend!

This Past Weekend Was...

Draining, obviously if I'm only writing about it at the start of THIS weekend!
=)

Crazy one... Friday was Ruby's with JAMIE whom I hadn't seen in a year.
Cue some INSANE behaviour and some questionable dancing with someone I love, haha.

Saturday was a night when I said "I'm NOT going out" and end up staggering home at 3:30 a.m in search of food and Shameless DVDS with Ciaran.

Sunday was MANIC, no rehearsal, no dance routines, no proper "costumes" and a cd that plays the wrong song for my second act, Alternative Miss Cork was AMAZING!
Performing is fun! I loved it and need to thank everyone involved and ALL of my friends, especially Brian for being so, SO supportive.

Drinking 'til 8, bed by 9 (a.m) Monday morning with Ciaran, NEVER laughed so hard or screamed so loud.

I'm still exhausted!

Seeing Aimee tomorrow.
My Birthday Thing Saturday night.
My actual 21st Sunday.
Dublin Wednesday 'til Saturday I think.

Can't wait!

New Year

2008 is here and it feels kind of new, as stupid as that may sound.
Some really fucked up shit happened last Wednesday night, I'm not going to go into detail about THAT on the internet, but needless to say I'm freaked.
I'm ok though, main thing.

Anyway, my fucking body is so sore! I have to start taking care of myself, it's crazy the shit I put my body through.

Couldn't get to Paris, so upset, but going very soon so that's kind of ok.
Gonna head to Dublin this weekend to see Ian and Aidan. Miss them.
New York in June for 2 weeks with T Man. Can't wait, you have no idea.

I need to eat my pasta, watch Absolutely Fabulous and try to sleep.
It's 7 a.m.

Toodles 2007

I'm so excited that this year is nearly over.
Fresh starts you know?

Can't wait for January! Paris to see my best friend Anthony, then flying to England with Aimee to see The Spice Girls! Belgium in February to see Octavio and make some music and then March brings my 21st Birthday!

Phew!

Dress up!

I HAVE to start writing on this more often...!

So, tomorrow is Hallow'een, perhaps my favourite fun holiday, I fucking love it!
Heading out tomorrow night with a lot of my friends which will be fucking amazing, hopefully, no court cases will result from this year's party.
Though, really, last year...that whole debacle was SO funny. Well, entertaining at the very least.

I have a lot to do for my costume, should have gotten around to it before now but whatever.
SO tired.

Have to sow some faux fur onto my black waistcoat dealy.
Ahahaha, the pictures will be funny.

HAPPY HALLOW'EEN EVERYONE!
