"Everytime I see your face I'm reminded, of what it means to be alive" - 'My Reminder' - The Beautiful Mistake
Well I didn't get around to writing in this yesterday but that doesn't really matter because my Wednesday was boring anyways so I wouldn't have had anything much to write about anyway (except for another solitary run through the rain). However yesterday had a little more activity going for it so as a result I do have slightly more to talk about.
Well I went to the beach yesterday for the first time this year. Myself, Niall, Brian and Trev headed of to Lahinch on whim. Brian's whim to be precise actually. The weather was beautiful in Limerick when we left, got progressively worse as we drove through Clare and then picked up again as we got closer to the beach itself. I was the only one of our quartet who actually went swimming. It was pretty cool too, the water was a little bit cold I suppose but overall I enjoyed myself immensely and happily there were other like minded fools who overlooked the fact that swimming in September is a really, really bad idea.
The other side of the day was when Niall dragged me down to the pub last night to provide moral support and the illusion of friends when he was meeting some girl that he was with before whose name embarassingly escapes me at the moment. I remeber that she's an Arts student but her name... (long pause)... no it's gone, I might think of it later. Anyway she wasn't the problem, nor indeed were the company she keeps who were actually dead on. What annoyed me was when we changed pubs (from a pub I like to a pub I loathe) was that Niall and myself were stopped and basically refused entry. Actually the bouncer's exact words to me were "Not tonight mate". They hauled up Niall on not having any ID. I was about to kick up my usual crap and inform them that they can't enforce a dress-code unless there's a written display announcing such when I realised that I didn't really wanna go in anyway (there was some awful charty crap bouncing out of the speakers) so myself and Niall had a quick discussion, I told the girl (what the hell is her name? Karen, Emma? Wait, I remember, it's Maeve!), so I told Maeve that we were going to somwhere where the staff were nicer and we just went back to my place instead. Even so I would like it if the Old Quarter were to burn down tonight (after it's been closed up so there are no fatalities though).
It's Bob's 21st today so I'm gonna finish up in a few minutes and go buy him a present. But before I do... it's Friday so... time for
Dar's weekly awards!
Person of the week: Brian upsets the applecart here and comes out of nowhere to pip Niall in what was expected by many (well by me anyway) to be my fellow Blogger's crown. Brian wins this week because he did stay over a few times so for once I saw more of someone who isn't Niall than Niall himself.
Honourable mentions: Niall, Trev, Don
Villian of the week: The Old Quarter Pub wins this by the proverbial landslide for being knobs. Enough said really. I've never actually been in there now that I think of it and long may that continue.
Day of the week: Thursday (yesterday) wins this week by virtue of my trip to the beach and swim. Today threatens to be ok too...
Honourable mention: Saturday
The Invisible Man of the week: Bob for basically spending it at home with his parents and his other friends! Just because they're nicer to you than we are doesn't mean they love you more Bob! That reminds me actually, when I said that Bob was probably hiding at home because he'd gotten his hair cut like his Mommy told him... I was right! Are you sure you're 21 today Bob? :-p
Honourable mention: Dave T (has anybody seen him?)
The Phone Person of the week: Kitt. Can you spell shoein? Is that a combination of 'sure' and 'win' by the way? Anyway, my favourite American retains her award with a degree of ease while Cack remains her understudy.
Honourable mention: Cack
Band of the week: The Killers, listened to them most of the way to Sligo and back (much to the grievance of Don), and for most of the week to follow until Trev borrowed the album 'for a day or two'.
Honourable mentions: Dashboard Confessional, The Beautiful Mistake, lostprophets
Workmate of the week: I always seem to be running outta steam by the time I get here so I'm just gonna give the award to Kalam and wrap things up and leave.
Honourable mentions: Saif, Hazel, John
Have a good weekend now kids.
