So, after a year of being so busy I'd forgotten what boredom felt like, I now have enough of it to last me well into winter! Halfway through each afternoon, I eventually tear myself out of bed, then pad upstairs with my book and have a breakfast that lasts two hours. I walk the dog, and fold sheets or clean guestrooms for a few hours. I read some more. I visit the Sims, my only real friends. I used to record the day's events in my diary, but now I just write 'See above'! I wouldn't mind staying at home so much if I was able to stir some life into my family members, but all they do is sit around in their unwashed pyjamas, waiting for the sun to go down. I bound around going 'Let's play Scrabble!' but they just stare at me and shake their heads.
I'd never survive if I was unemployed, I'd go mad! Maybe I should take more drugs.

My First Post
Technically this isn't my first post, because I wrote one a couple of weeks ago, just having a moan about the old Leaving Cert. That was a bit depressing, so I decided to delete it. It's all in the past now, man. So here I am, starting afresh!
My friends and I recently got back from an amazing holiday in the city of Berlin! Whenever anyone has asked me what we did there, I've been irritatingly vague and said something like 'Oh, you know. Loads.' Because there is so much to tell, I wouldn't know where to start! A proper account of our trip would take hours to write, but here are some of the most memorable little parts:
1. Being herded around the Reichstag. Pretending to be cows, and mooing in harmony.
(We are hilarious.)
2. Taking the escalator down to the bottom floor of the underground station, then taking the elevator to the top floor- just to avoid climbing one flight of steps.
3. Travelling in style on a six-person circular bike. I've never laughed so much!
4. Penny and others buying strudel at 6am, while wearing pyjamas.
5. The guide on our bus tour of Berlin. 'There are eight of you here in Berlin. That means there are only eight people left in Ireland!'
6. Grace getting trapped in the revolving door.
7. Niamh meeting the love of her life, the jazz flute player.
8. Buying €3.90 cocktails! Being incredibly giddy afterwards, and rambling around trying to find a slide.
9. Penny and Aoife Rooney stealing my camera and taking terrible pictures of people's thumbs, fat men, etc.
10. Jane and her gyrating, thrusting Latin lover. His e-mail to her the next day. 'My love, the best thing i did in berlin was met with ya.'
11. Grace trying to smuggle a knife into the Reichstag.
12. Being stalked by that crazy German man. Him appearing out of nowhere! 'We're going home now..' 'Another suggestion is the Rosa bar..'
13. Grace having incredibly swollen ankles. All of us having filthy feet, and dripping with sweat.
14. Being unable to escape sparkling water! They even had sparlking tea!
15. Rooney announcing that she is a lesbian.
16. Being pushed behind the stalls in the Turkish market, and forced to try on a cotton dress as the crowd looked on.
17. Making our 'Alpha Beta Gamma' sorority.
18. Arriving at a fountain, and thinking it the most wonderful find of all time.
19. Watching an unbelievably anticlimactic arm-wrestling match between two of the Dublin guys we met.
20. Jane getting a lapdance from Diego.
21. Buying a 'Bum Bum' ice-cream.
22. Sitting down ANYWHERE.
23. Niamh getting fisted. (That was the best part of all.)
24. Trying currwurst sausages, the Berlin speciality. They were surprisingly delicious!
25. Buying 36 litres of water, and drinking it all!
