Bebo

Hello my name is Catherine O Connor and i am a Beboholic!

I remember when I started on bebo I thought to myself, what is this, I really will not be on this alot. But then the addiction began to kick in. I got used to my page, I was able to understand how to send comments, change skins, upload photos. Then the real trouble began, I loved the fact you could nosey on anyones page without them knowing, look at their pictures, see who their commenting. Of course the down side is they can do the same to your page, unless that is you make your page is private.

I've recently heard about facebook, so i think this will be my new addiction!

In a few months time my name will be Catherine O Connor,Face Bookaholic!

FavouriteFoods

So if you where stranded on a desert island and only where allowed eat the same meal for the rest of your live, what would it be?. Would you go for a healthy option or junk food options?

• Fish and Chip?
• Bangers and Mash?
• Pizza?
• Roast Dinner?
• Fruit Salad?

The list is endless, but mine would definitely have to be some sort of chinese food, I am absolutely obsessed with chinese food. Ribs in honey sauce, sweet crispy chilli chicken, ckicken balls, fried rice, noodles etc! I don't care about the nutritional value, the amount of calories it has. If I where on a desert island with chinese food it would be heaven.

Bus Eireann

I live in Lordship which is about seven miles outside dundalk. Years ago I would have always got the bus into town, not only the school bus but on a sathurday or sunday I would have got it to go shopping. So a few weeks ago I looked up the time table, I found the Carlingford timetable and from Carlingford into dundalk there were only three times during the day. How radiculous is that, I needed to be in town for around two or three, so I thought there might be a one or two bus, nope! The only buses that travelled through lordshiop into dundalk where at 8.10, 10.10 and 6.30. So there where no buses travelling from lordship between 10 and 6.30. I just think this is terrible, right ok maybe buses are not as popular as they were years ago but I really think they could manage to put even one more bus journey through lordship during the day. What do they expect us to do, hitch, in this day and age, I dont think so!

The College Year is Flying!

Can you believe how fast the college year is going?
I know at the start of the year I was quite anxious about starting a four year course, because I felt that I was kinda getting too to settle into a four year degree. I know what you are thinking, I'm not old I'm only 21 and I agree with you's, but my friends are all finished college now and started working in their long term jobs. But I have to say I'm delighted I accepted the course and I now feel that I am in no rush what so ever to be out in the real world working. But I have a feeling that, that time will come pretty soon, as christmas is already here and before we know it, we will be doing our summer exams. So my advice to myself and to you, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Christmas Films

Ok, so there are only two or three weeks left until Christmas and I have to say, one of my favourite things to do at Christmas is lie up on the couch, watching the traditional Christmas movies. Ok i realise these films would not be everyones choice, some look forward to watching the black and white films, such as "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby. But i'm really looking forward to watching films like "Miracle on 34th Street", that is one of my favourite, the little girl in that is just too cute! Then you have to watch " Home Alone", one or two, its just a classic, one of Macaulay Culchanns first movies! And of course "Mary Poppins", "Annie" and "Sound of Music", you cant go through Christmas without watching them! Oh i cant wait.

I wish Santa were still here

I don't know about you guy's, but I really miss believing in Santa. The excitement you felt coming up to Christmas, I remember I could barely sleep the days before Christmas and don't even get me started on Christmas eve, there was no hope of sleep! The mystery of this man, receiving your letter you sent him months beforehand, checking if you were "naughty or nice" and then flying around the whole world in one night, delivering your gifts. He didn't fly by concord, Aer Lingus or on the red eye, but by reindeer's, reindeer's! Magic!

Christmas Madness!

There is an add on tv at the moment and it just represents Christmas perfectly No its not a loving add about a family beoing together at christmas, but its an add about people histerically shopping. They are madly running around streets looking for that perfect gift. I know the add is obviously exaggurated and meant to be humourous, but i feel its painting the real picture. I don't want to rant on and sound like my grandparents here, but I seriously think Christmas is turning into a time for exchanging gifts instead of a time of goodwill. I know, I know, I'm turning into an o.a.p, but I just think we should cut back on the obsession of getting the correct gift and just have a nice relaxing Christmas, eating a lot of food and hanging with family.
