Or rather, woo 21! Well, maybe not so much – I’m feeling really damn old now. Anyway, last weekend was bloody epic, especially the absolute chock-filled Saturday with friends during the day and family in the evening.

There’s not really much to say these days because I’m mostly sat at home bunged up in my room from massive bouts of hayfever. The past few years weren’t bad for me at all, I barely even had a sniffle, but this year is just horrible for it. After speaking with a few friends also suffering from it, it seems to be down to the massive amounts of rain from the past few months, and then the distinct lack of it recently now that the pollen counts are up high.

It’s also a case of the fact that very little seems to help alleviate the effects. Daily doses of Zirtek don’t seem to do much, but without it my nose’d be snivelling and running like a tap, and I’d be practically unable to open my eyes. The accompanying unrelated really annoying chesty cough isn’t helping procedures either.

Anyway, Friday and Saturday. That’s all I’m looking forward to. I just want to get to those two days already – and preferably not be suffering from this crap! If that means it pisses down like a monsoon, then so be it!

Is not something I usually celebrate or bother with at all, primarily because of the fact my biological father left me and my mother when I was only 3 or 4 years old.

Despite the fact that my sister’s father kind of fills the father role (despite not having to), I still wouldn’t consider him my proper father.

That’s really all I have to say about that. Now, back to making the bear popular.

This really isn’t something I’d usually put up here on my blog, but it is probably something that I wouldn’t mind getting some feedback from a wide variety of people, rather than just otaku friends.

So my plan for Eirtakon in October this year is to go as Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2. But not just in his plain self, I’m going to go as him in one of his “Drive Forms” – basically alternate coloured costumes. However, I can’t pick which one, so I’m asking for a little help with this

Y’know, seeing as how I can be practically the polar opposite of Elly and George when it comes to junk food, I should probably set up a site like that. Then again we also have This Is Why You’re Fat for our triple-X rated food porn needs. So for my first entry in this mini-one-off-never-going-to-happen-again-lest-Elly-kills-me-next-time-we-meet-sorta-thing, I’ll give a little review into the Burger King Crispy Chicken King Deal

Right, something I want to mouth off about here. It involves Irish Rail and the procedure with which people in possession of Free Travel Passes are meant to follow to use the train.

So, last Thursday morning (the one with the random snow) I was heading in towards college, hitching a life with my mom who at the time was going… well, somewhere. Half expecting to get off somewhere in Blanch and get a bus to town, firstly I realised the time, and then the fact that she was going via Carpenterstown. So I then decided to give the train a shot, since it would get me into Drumcondra much quicker than a bus into town and then back out would have.

I’ve been doing a fair bit of that recently… So many things I’ve been wanting to do and told myself to get done that, well haven’t.

So, I was walking my sister down to school this morning when after a bit of banter about the fact she was wearing a hat today which meant I couldn’t ruffle up her hair, when I mentioned "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" – which in this case was the need for myself and the bear to have some juvenile fun messing around a bit, versus her need to have proper hair – and suddenly, the first thing I thought of was all the Haiti nonsense.

Alright, I’ll admit it. Ever since actually attending Eirtakon this year, the whole act of cosplaying in general has always been on my mind (even at the worst of times…). Perhaps it’s one of those things that I never really had a chance to care for until actually doing it myself. I’d even consider booking myself a one-way flight to the Harajuku area in Tokyo and staying there for the rest of my life, engaging in all the cosplay events there. Well, if it weren’t for three major issues: lack of money, lack of Japanese, and lack of any sort of skills when it comes to costume creation
