To anyone who knows what AVENUE Q is.

2008-07-08T02:36:00.002+01:00

As a final London "Hurrah", I was either going to the theater or to a pub crawl. I went to the theater. For obvious Avenue Q reasons. I have been wanting to see this show for like 3 years (since it started) and it just happened to be here the same time as me!!! I have to say it was everything I imagined it to be and more. I laughed so hard the entire time... if you think the music is funny, just go see it. I already want to go again!!!

photo album!!

2008-07-04T14:07:00.002+01:00

I have found the easiest way to show my images is a facebook album!!

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2010398&l=923b3&id=82800421

theyre in order from oldest to newest!! each album alows me to have 60 images so ill probably be making a new one when i get back from london!! ill post a new link when theres a new album!

Ill be back on tuesday and then I think im gonna go to Cork and Wicklow this week.
Go kiss the Blarney Stone. <3

Holland

2008-06-25T14:29:00.002+01:00

So my trip to Holland went really well. Had alot of fun and I got to hang with Arne which was great since I hadnt seen him in so long! We went all over the country side (beautiful!!). I really would like to go back and do more of the touristy stuff though...

Anyways... Im already planning another mini-trip... Im going to London for the 4th of July! Well I fly in the night of the 4th and leave the morning of the 8th... So ill get 2 full days to explore and what not.

Ill post more pictures soon... Ive gotta do some editing :)

sick :(

2008-06-06T14:01:00.002+01:00

so Ive been sick the last couple days and Im finally feeling better...

I cant wait for next Friday... I will be flying to Amsterdam for a week long birthday celebration with Arne!!

well....

2008-06-02T15:52:00.003+01:00

I went to the Dublin Burlesque Ball and it was so much fun!!! I took pictures but my camera was stolen... funny story... I got mugged yesterday. Yeah.

I wasnt hurt but while I wasnt looking some kid decided he wanted my bag and he took my cash (about 18 Euro), my travel camera, a burger king coupon and my luggage keys (which were in with my change)... he then threw my bag over my head and when it landed in front of me I realized I had been robbed.

so now im also locked out of my bags lol
the hostel is finding a hammer for me so i can break into my own bags... I had to go buy new locks...

ugh... its such a mess... my weekend started out so great and ended so crappy.
but at least today is a bank holiday so I have work off... so at least i can get things together before going back tomorrow...

Galway/Aran Islands

2008-05-27T15:32:00.004+01:00

So a few of us went to the Aran Islands over the weekend. Beautiful place!!!
It was about a 6 hour bus ride from Dublin and then another hour on a ferry...

Heres some pictures!
*Note: I got the zip files uploaded but for some reason permissions are getting mixed up and they're not downloadable... So no one can see them all yet... I'll have it figured out soon.

Standing in the East Atlantic Ocean!!

Lara!!

2008-05-20T12:22:00.003+01:00

Shes going to be here today!!
Then I have tomorrow through friday off (and the weekend) to hang with her!!

Here are a few pictures!

2008-05-20T12:09:00.003+01:00

This is all I could get up online the other day... Im working on a way to get more online from work(?)...

well heres a couple pictures anyway...

This is a composite of about 9 different images!

hey all!!

2008-05-13T13:02:00.003+01:00

I still dont have any images up.. sorry!!
Internet has been a bit crazy... i cant connect to the wireless at the hostel so my only other options are a park up the street or waiting for the wireless room at the hostel to be free and just plugging directly into the wall...

but at least my internship is going well... im on day 2 now... everyone is really nice, and its really casual and easy going. Lots of fun as well.

Only problems ive really had is someone keeps eating my food! my jelly, bread and milk all started disappearing... i guess i have to start hiding my food...

Im here!!

2008-05-10T14:02:00.002+01:00

Well I made it!! Dad left yesterday and I checked into Browns Hostel. Really great hostel. Lots of awesome people!!

I will hopefully be posting pictures soon, I need to find an ftp client so I can access my homespace... I think that will be the easiest way to upload things...

Anyways this week with my dad was fun...
we went all over Dublin!
Ill be updating with pictures soon...

Until then, I miss you all!!
