Party Party

This is gonna be a super quick post with a shizzload of pictures because I wanna get this up before Lynnie goes away to the Gaeltacht tomorrow!! *cries* so excuse all typos / lame captions for photos and all that cool stuff.

Last Sunday I had an extremely belated party/sleepover for my 18th @ Lynnie's house. I decided to have a theme and I went with retro since it's pretty vague and I wanted people to choose for themselves what era they'd like to be. Mhmm I am so nice like that. ^_^

~Outfit show & tell time~

*awkward camera poses* So I choose 60s as my era. I think my dress definitely does look quite 60s and my attempt at a half-beehive worked okay I think. Since I suck with hairstyles. o-o Oh and I also did Twiggy-styled makeup but toned down a lot. Mainly because I was sort of scared to try out false lashes. Lolol. 

You can see the beehive a little better here. Not too shabby right? :o

Another selca. O_O

*coughs* and another but this is the last of my camho shots yo. This one is my favourite methinks.

Lynnie! She did 80s style~ looking very Blondie/Madonna/idk who else-esque.

"They did that in the 80s!"

*is beginning to look like proper 80s photoshoot* orz nao I feel embarrassed for my awkward posing lolol. 

Lily ^O^ who was also 80s. Notice the couple shoes with Lynnie kekeke.

*shouts* kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~

Roi chose 50s so she looked super classy & elegant. So perdyyyyy. *-*

*cries* our makenae looks all grown up~

*just noticed* Roi has a really nice side profile. o-o 

Last but not least; Shauna the hippie! I thought it was funny how instead of saying she was 60s I kept on saying hippie lolol. 

Now for some obligatory trippy hippie pictures...

Embracing a lamp. o-o Hippies are totes cray I tells ya~

Caoili (Lynnie's lil' sister) took over as photographer to take some group photos of us all together. Actually this always happens on occasions like this at Lynnie's house lolol. Danke, Caoili. ^-^

~walking through the eras~ even though none of us are in the right order of era. Oopsies.

Lynnie is the only person who actually changed their pose. >.< Oh wait actually my arms are in different positions. I guess that sort of counts~

Roi was about to ditch us here. *sobs* I look like I'm dancing/about to fall/diving/running awkwardly/etc.

Doo-poses!

peekaboo. O_O

~Other random pictures~

Shauna & Lynnie~

me, Lily & Roi~

Lily & Roi~ I love Roi's falsies here. :3

Roi & Lynnie~ our two adorable maknaes ^o^

Lily & Lynnie~ 80s derp.

More 80s derp for everyone!

Really cannot remember what was going on when this was taken. o-o

And again with bonus hippie Shauna in the background~

Pictures of polaroids I took!

A picture of me taking a picture of all of us on my instax. I was gonna say pic-ception but...you can't really see my instax so it doesn't count. =_=

-STORY TIME-

Once upon a time Lynnie wanted to take a picture w/ Shauna doing a cute pose but Shauna became distracted by someone else and.....

Lynnie was left all alone and sad and looked super silly cause she had no one else to do her pose with.

But suddenly a wild Shauna reappeared and.......

Lynnie was finally able to achieve one of her lifelong goals and take an ultra osm picture with me!!!!!!!!! THE END. BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE EVERY TIME WTF.

We decided for food that we would all make pizza together and it turned out really good! Although it was mainly Lynnie & Roi's work lolol. Of course we leave the youngest to cook.

Kitchen fun~ my "OMG PIZZA YAY!!" face, Roi looking like a proper 1950s housewife in the kitchen and Riri with her amazing giraffe ears.

Nomnomnomnomnom. Roi's heart-shaped pizza is blocked by the chips orz.

OMFG I LOOK SO CREEPY HERE BUT YES THIS IS BIRTHDAY CAKE. So altogether for my 18th bday I've had... 4 cakes. O_O But really I'm sort of scared of myself after this picture. v__v

Playing with the balloons kekeke~

Afterwards we had an osm dance party with equally osm songs from yesteryear! Let's just say there was a lot of dodgy dancing done...mainly from me. o_e

The morning after. O_O tbh, I think we don't look too bad considering we got like barely any sleep. (and also cause I'm not directly looking into the camera ;D)

Then we realised Lynnie was taking pictures of us lolol. *hides*

And that is everything! Did anyone survive the huge amount of photos? o-o Greetings, if you did. You win the most amazing prize evar. But I can't tell you what it is.

Lynnie, I hope you see this before you leave! D: I shall miss you dearly *sniffs* but never fear 'cause we shall all be reunited together again sooooooooooooooon. Have an osm time & I promise I shall write to you! :3 omg I said 'shall' too many times orz. yolo and all that jazz. u_u

Market Finds; June 17th

To be completely honest, there weren't that many good stalls this week probably because of the weather, but I did manage to find a few good ones. ^_^ The Muffin Man (local home bakery) wasn't there though which was slightly depressing. They better be the there the next time I go or there will be serious consequences wtf.

I found another cardigan that still had the label on it for only €2! O.O I think I have a gift for finding nice but cheap cardigans.

It was originally £14.......which would be like €20 maybe? (awful at currency conversions). I didn't even know it was a size 20 until I got home but idc cause I loooooove really loose-fitted cardigans! They're so cosy. :3

My cousin actually gave me this as a late late birthday gift, so if you ever somehow stumble across my blog, thank you Chris! And Holly too. ^_^ Really curious to know what the characters mean and if they even make sense.

Picture of the other side~

Novelty pens lolol. What age do I think I am seriously. They were super cheap (can't remember how much exactly) and they looked kind of cute so I was like *grabs*

Usually a lot of novelty pens tend to be awful to write with cause the ink sucks but I tested all of these and they're totally fine. I used one to write a letter to one of my pen-pals. ^^

Incense burner! We used to have one but then it just vanished a while ago. o.o Comes with rose, lavender and sandalwood (never heard of it before).

Some interesting looking Buddha type thing. Actually I think this picture came out quite nice lol. I got it 'cause he's holding & surrounded by money(at least I think that's what it is u_u) so maybe it means if I have one it will also make me rich? :o My logic amazes me sometimes. #puregenius #usinghashtagsoutsideoftwitterlololyolobbz2k12xoxo

I bought the pens, incense burner & Buddha charm(idek what to call it) at the same stall and it was all €6. So I think that was pretty good value. ^.^

This bracelet is supposed to keep away ~evil spirits~ or something along those lines. I can't remember what the guy at the stall said tbh. I thought it looked quite interesting so I bought it!

Then I did some research on it and the coloured beads are called evil eye beads and they're apparently good luck charms that ward off the evil eye. o.o According to Wikipedia they're very common in Turkey. Do we have an equivalent to this in Ireland? Seeing as we're a pretty superstitious country and whatnot.

And last but not least..... This super cute giraffe brooch! Giraffe's are such interesting animals. They're so awkwardly lanky and goofy looking lolol.

That's all folks! ;D

Father's Day Shenanigans~

Halo ^_^
Currently typing this in the car which is proving to be quite difficult thanks to the lovely Irish countryside roads. <3
Yesterday was Father's Day here (well technically today since I'm typing this on the 17th but won't post this until tomorrow wtf) so I thought I would introduce the world to my daddy!

Lolol. Now you know where I get my derping talent from. I told him to smile in the first picture and he ruins it, then in the second I'm like "orz fine then, we'll make weird faces" and he wasn't even ready. u_u

I got him the coolest Father's Day card tbqh;

We always buy each other cards like this, it's almost like some sort of odd family tradition. Mainly because the really OTT cheesy make-you-wanna-gag ones are just.. *shudders* idk I just like my cards to have some humour in them. u_u

We both went to the market in town and met up with some aunties/uncles/cousins and had some tea. :3 The market was quite nice actually until it started raining. -_-' I bought a few things so I shall probably make a ~*~haul~*~ post laters. 

Moving on~ I decided to take a couple of instax photos (need to get out of the habit of calling them polaroids lolol) to remember the day and I also didn't take any instax photos of/with them before! :o

Daddy & Lady~ I love how she's looking at the football like *_____________*

I'm the only one who smiled in this one again omg. My dad....could also possibly be smiling but pretty sure he's squinting at the sunlight and mam looks like she was about to say something otl. 

-nao typing this on the 18th at my desk lolol-

After some reaaaaaaally om nommy food *drools* we went to my grandparents for a few hours. I made them Madeira cake since it's seems pretty fool-proof and they both like it. But I couldn't taste it beforehand to make sure it was edible cause there would be an obvious piece missing from it so when we had tea there I legit dived to get the first slice of it to make sure it didn't taste absolutely awful and.....it tasted pretty awesome. ;D I should be a professional chef wtf.

I was looking through all of my grandparents old photo albums (because I am a creep and like looking through peoples things D:) and I found this picture;

My granddad and baby me ^_^ and also my cousin and then my granny in the background too. He looks so happy in it, because obviously he is so proud & happy to have a granddaughter as amazing as me. *supermodest*

Every time I look through my grandparents photo albums I end up taking some photos home with me though. o.o I will soon end up with their entire collection tbh. My granny has an album full of pictures from the 50s and it's so awesome. *_* She looked so pretty wtf granny wae you no share your good genes with me? *shakes fist*

My Super Interesting Week

Hello ^_^

I'm not even sure what day it is today. I think it's Tuesday/Wendnesday......*checks phone* yup it's Wednesday! This is what summer does to me, and also it completely screws up my body-clock. -_-'

Since we had pretty good weather some days last week/weekend (other days it was lashing rain the whole day o_O) I went for some walks since there's not much else to do when you live in the middle of no where you know~

 Lady loves going for walks multiple times every day. I swear she has an unlimited supply of energy. Lucky her. o_e

Daisies(and also a buttercup trying to photobomb). I would say they're one of my favourite flowers 'cause they're so simple yet pretty at the same time and 'cause daisy chains are awesome.

I am too artistic yo~ everything has gotten really green recently. Everything meaning grass/leaves and the likes. Maybe it's been like that for a while and I'm only copping on now cause /insert slowpoke meme/

Am I weird for having bread with fruit salad? People are usually like o_O when I mention it. I just like bread you know. Actually I made this bread myself~ I love bread. Bread is amazing. Bread bread bread bread bread. Repetitiveness. Oh and that's natural yoghurt mixed w/ manuka honey on the BREAD btw. I'm trying to eat healthier again since over the past few months I've been eating really bad food orz

Evidence of my cray cray body-clock. I couldn't sleep at all one night so I then decided sometime after 4am to go for a jog/walk. It was only starting to get bright and the moon was still in the sky. D:

Everywhere looked really pretty so I couldn't stop taking pictures, probably due to my lack of sleep deliriousness. You can sort of see the cows in the distance here.

 It took me ages to get the right position for this one. *dedicated photographer*...sort of.

I looooove the quietness of really early mornings. It's so peaceful, apart from the birds making a shitload of noise. *shakes fist*

Sunrise~ which look soooo much nicer IRL, but I was only using an iPhone camera so I wasn't expecting some sort of masterpiece. >_<' Watching the sunrise and stargazing are two of my favourite things to do, I find it quite relaxing and all that jazz.

Ah yes~ other things I've been doing to keep myself occupied....

Sorting out all our photo albums. I swear my parents originally put them into these albums half asleep. >_<' Some of the smaller albums are grand but the big one is just all over the place. One of my aunties has her photo albums organised in a completely OCD way... I think she even records it down to the very date....wouldn't be surprised if she had the time too o_o

Reading! I used to read so much when I was younger, then I stopped for a while and now I'm starting to become my old bookworm self again. Got these at a second-hand bookshop over the weekend. I'm not even sure if I'll get round to reading them before summer is over though, then I probably won't have time during the year (thanks, LC ^_^) so I mightn't even get looking at these until next summer which sounds crazy rn.

This is the book I'm currently reading~ it's by the same author as the Mao book from the picture above. I seriously recommend anyone reading this post to check out this book if you haven't already. Maybe not those of you in China though since it's banned there. o-o Blogspot is more than likely banned there too so..

Oh~ and I got these two awesome photo-frames in town at the weekend in the second Cara Pharmacy shop, I didn't even realise they sold such awesome stuff upstairs I was like O______O *grabby hands*

I chose a picture of my baby me and my dad, since my dad always derps in photos  and this one turned out pretty nice. Also most of our nice family pictures seem to be landscape. Second picture is me (I think I was around 7-ish) and my old cat Felix as a kitten. RIP Felix *sobs* me and my mother cried so much when he died omg. TT___TT

And I shall end this with a photo of Sheba being her usual lazy self and sleeping on my bed!

Bye! ^_~
