This did! :D

Real pity that it isn't actually him, but it made me smile nonetheless. hehe.

Yesterday I found a glorious mock orange shrub covered with bumble bees. I tried to take some pictures with my vintage macro lens.

At first they were a bit wary of me, but after a while they seemed to accept me as part of the decor.

Watching them was wonderful, like entering a whole new world.
It seemed to really calm me down too.

I live and work in the city and I get to see a lot of buildings and cars, but not a lot of nature. So finding these little bits of green in the middle of all that is always special to me.

^ nice :)

iīm at the airport waiting to fly back to ireland :hello2:

carrroline 05-27-2014 08:02 PM

carrroline 05-28-2014 10:45 PM

Yay! :)

I quit my job yesterday! It made me sick because of bad management, even a bit of bullying from my boss, waited far too long. I don't have a plan b yet, but had to get out of there in order to not break down completely. Go me. Oh yeah, and was in the audience for a live chat with John Parish yesterday. Nice bloke, very inspiring. That's it :D

carrroline 05-29-2014 04:43 PM

Good for you, Cille!
It takes courage to do that.
Your sanity is worth more than any job.

Joyful 05-29-2014 06:55 PM

Congrats Cille!! You will make it work :)

verenita 05-30-2014 11:47 PM

Well, bank account says to find something else soon, but I can get unemployment ensurance if that doesn't work out right away - i was home sick with stress symptoms for a month last summer, and things haven't improved much since then, despite me trying to change things, so it feels like a big relief to be out of there in a month :hello2:

My big dream is actually, well apart from playing music full-time, to work in a nice little local cafe down the street that sells quality coffee and vinyl albums. I am sick of office work and corporate BS, literally sick...

verenita 06-01-2014 12:45 AM

so, does this cafe exist? if so, is there any chance for you? first of all, i hope you get better soon and secondly, i keep my fingers crossed for you, cille.

as for me, melissaīs post made smile, it really did. thanks again :)

verenita 06-02-2014 11:38 AM

13* reasons why we LOVE Brian O’Driscoll

Yes, it exists - someone even made a film about it! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2308497/combined

verenita 06-04-2014 08:42 AM

nice :) i presume that you applied already. if not, you could ask ;)

something that i ordered almost two months ago finally arrived! i think it was waiting for me to be back in dubin :p

cille 06-04-2014 08:53 AM

^You're making me curious!

Didn't apply yet, but will :)

verenita 06-04-2014 09:35 AM

hehe... itīs not a male strip dancer, cille :p (i could have got one in argentina, hehe). itīs a vinyl, but it got lost and then it took quite a while to be delivered again. my friend supposed to get it because i was in buenos aires, but it was waiting for me :D

best luck with the job :)

cille 06-04-2014 09:45 AM

Hahaha, my mind didn't even go to the stripper thing, hehe... What vinyl?

verenita 06-04-2014 10:03 AM

now i am curious :p

gemma hayes live limited edition vinyl. even her manager took care of it to make sure i got it. he is really kind!

cille 06-04-2014 11:11 AM

Cool! :)

carrroline 06-07-2014 09:53 AM

I promised myself once that I would never do another exam. ( I used to have terrible fear of failure) Today I broke that promise and took a test without any panic.
(I think I did quite well.)

cille 06-07-2014 09:58 AM

Yay. you! ^

cille 06-09-2014 02:24 PM

The other night I dreamt that Damien got a baby elephant, one of those cute furry ones. But then he had to resell it cause he figured it was too big to have as a pet anyway, and he was afraid it would lay on him by accident.

carrroline 06-09-2014 02:53 PM

^this made me giggle :)

carrroline 06-25-2014 06:55 AM

I'm going to see Eels (and a bunch of other cool bands) at the naked song festival (in the Netherlands) this Saturday! Woohoo!

carrroline 06-30-2014 04:04 PM

I didn't know this guy, but I really liked his little gig at the naked song festival.
