Stolen from the journal of Jidimus. (I don't know how to do the linking thing..)
1. FIRST NAME: Sinead
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: Nope.
4.WHICH FINGER IS YOUR FAVORITE?: Don't particularly have one.
5. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?: Sunday, I believe. Could've been Monday or Tuesday though. Maybe Monday.. ah, just pick one. :p

13. FAVORITE MOVIE?: Don't make me choose one. :P
14. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?: I bottle it up for a long LONG time and then it usually goes away, but when it gets too much I either rant in this LJ, rant to myself while pacing madly around my room or at some poor unsuspecting soul who happens along.

31. WHO DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?: I don't really miss people. They're either here or not, there are exceptions sometimes, but I'm talking to the one person I usually miss most right now, so I can't miss them can I?
32. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE YOU SEND THIS TO SEND IT BACK?: It's not really being sent anywhere...
33. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?: My TV buzzing. It's annoying.
34. LAST THING YOU ATE?: Spaghetti!
35. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?: Orla, I think.
36. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?: Usually their most striking feature. Example, if he has nice eyes, I'll see the eyes first. If he has a nice smile, I'll notice the smile.

Your soul is bound to the Yellow Rose: The
Gentle.
"I've travelled through the land of
surrender and seen it all. I throw my heart
out and keep my head up, and now I travel
through the land of peace."
The Yellow Rose is associated with friendship,
intuition, and fun. It is governed by the
goddess Hestia and its sign is The Intertwined
Rings, or True Friendship.
As a Yellow Rose, you always look out for your
friends. You would much rather have strong
ties with friends than a single tie with a
lover and your devotion to your friends is
clear. You may have great intuition and be
able to read emotions clearly, but sometimes
you can seem distant yourself.

Everything I Do - Brian Adams |
] |
Oddly enough I feel like making an entry, though I have not much to say. Aoife's asked Aishling and I to go to Florida for a week with her and her parents this summer. They have a house over there. Problem is Aishling and I would have to fly out there and back on our own. My parents are OK with it, but if Aishling doesn't go, I can't go. They don't want me flying alone. And Aishling's too scared to ask her Dad because she is almost positive he'll say no. Also, she says she's scared to go because of "all the bombs and stuff over there." This pisses me off SO MUCH I really can't go into it. That's total BS that the US administration is pumping into the public in order to make the American believe that THEY are the only ones who can protect them and hence, Bush will get re-elected. The fact that people are swallowing this crap just drives me up the wall.
Anyway, I just hope she asks her Dad, at least then we'll know if we can go or not. Whether she asks sooner or later, his answer will still be the same, and I'd rather find out sooner so that if that plan falls through I can go on pushing my parents so we can go to CA this summer. Dad says there's nothing definite about going to CA until he sees his doctor in May, so I guess I'll have to see. (So stop worrying about having a heart attack, Chris. When May comes around, then you can worry. ;) )
So, what else? Nothing much more to say. I have yet to get an A in anything for my Xmas tests. It's been B's and C's all the way. Considering I didn't study, I should be extremely pleased. If I can do that with just cramming the night before, what would I get if I actually worked hard and studied? Hmm... suppose I'll have to see. I won't swear to study for my summer tests, because I probably won't. I dunno. Maybe.

"Where Will You Go?" - Evanescence |
] |
So.. over the Christmas holidays I have to write an essay for religion class. The topic? "What is truth?"
Woo. :P Considering I have some really odd ideas about what truth is, this could prove a problem to write about. :P
I also, rather stupidly, told my chemistry teacher I was interested in this essay competition that she told us about in class. We have to write about an aspect of chemistry that we find interesting, but we have to use language that would make it possible for someone with barely any knowledge of chemistry to understand it. The tone also has to be "engaging and lively." I'm not known for having an "engaging and lively" writing style. Another problem is that I find it hard to communicate things I've learnt in science class to someone who has barely any idea of what's going on. I do tend to assume that people know what I'm talking about, *shrug* I suppose I'd better fix that. Although I could back out of the competition if I wanted to. *shrug* I guess I'll just have to see. First prize is E600 and the 2 runners up get E300. Not too bad. ;)
I also have my Christmas tests to study for, which I haven't gotten round to doing. I was sitting in Maths class and the teacher was going over some of the chapters we have done, and I suddenly realised that I barely remembered any of it! Another thing I should fix, but I have to go into town tomorrow to get shoes for my Christmas outfit, so that leaves Sunday to cram for both Maths and English. English teacher told us today that most of the marks for our test will be going for the Poetry question, which makes me totally screwed, as I was praying that the majority of the marks would go for Hamlet, which I do know pretty well. I've practically forgotten all of the poetry we did at the start of the year though. AHHH! Ah well, here's hoping my ability to memorise things under pressure hasn't died over the last year.
Or I could stop procrastinating and study now, but I really don't feel like it.

"White Flag" - Dido |
] |
Yes, I'm updating, though God only knows why. Just feel like it, I guess.
So.. what's been going on in the world of Sinead? The usual, school, going out, routine stuff. I'm in my second last year of secondary school... but I find that at times I wish it was my last, I just want it to be over. Then there are other days when I just go with the flow, *shrug* whatever. I've kindof relaxed about exams and tests and school this year, I have no idea why, just am. My Xmas tests start next Monday and I haven't even started studying yet, which is sort of the norm for me, but I'm not panicking over it either. I'll probably freak out next week, but at the moment I just don't care.
I've finally really settled into my new school, it's taken me a long while just to get used to things and find my niche in it. I have the friends that I can hang out with, and then there's the people I can talk to occasionally. Last week was a real test of that, I think. 3 of my good friends were out last week, Orla was sick, Aishling and Helen on work experience. So that left me with Aoife, Lisa and Sandra, and since Sandra isn't in my year I only got to see her at break time. And she was at a college open day on Thursday. I found that last week I just had to step out a bit and start talking to other people, which was actually good for me, I'd say. Spent most of my breaks talking with David and Lisa, which was pretty good because David moved from my Irish class into another so we don't get to talk as much. Though it's kinda funny, I think we talked more last week even though he's no longer in my class for Irish, which is the only class we sat beside each other in. Our teacher speaks in Irish the whole time s I can't understand him, and David's fluent in Irish, so he basically did all the translation for me. I'm basically screwed now! *shrug* Ah well, I've already decided to stop worrying about that subject, it's not that important, I'll spend only enough time on it that is neccessary, no more. I have other more important subjects to concentrate on. Maths, Physics and Chemistry being the key ones there.
So, yeah, that's me, just rambling. *shrug* Dunno why, if you're still reading this, I'm surprised, it's quite possibly one of the most boring things you've ever read in your entire life and are wondering why in God's name you bothered reading this piece of crap. So I'll shut up and stop wasting your time now. *click*

An update! Be happy those who nag me for an update! ;)
1) Anything interesting happening in the life of Sinead over this summer?
Honestly? Nothing. I might be working in an insurance company this summer but that's about it.
2) If you had to choose between living in Ireland and living in the States, but could only choose one and never go back to the other even for a visit, which would you pick and why?
ACK! NO! Don't make me choose! Hmm... I think I'd have more opportunities in the States, but my friends and family are here. If I moved away I'd never see them again, unless they came to the States for a visit. I suppose I'd make new friends in the States. States, probably but I'd probably really miss Ireland, I guess I'd get over it though.
3) Right now, what would your dream job be?
A high-paying one. ;) Maybe a research scientist or something along those lines.
4) If you could have three wishes what would they be?
1) To know exactly what consequences my choices have. I *hate* not knowing what's going to happen.
2) To have lots of money. Yes, greedy, but I want that security.
3) I think Josh had his third wish right, for all humans to learn acceptence.
5) What do you value most in your life right now?
I have no idea...umm.. my father?
6) What are five things you want to do before you die?
1) Meet my online friends in RL.
2) Discover something that will have a major (positive) impact on the world.
3) Learn to play an instrument. Piano or violin.
4) Learn *everything* there is to know.
5) Eat chocolate on my death bed. ;)

"Stutter" - Joe |
] |
The play's over now. I kinda have mixed feelings about it. It was fun working backstage (and getting off class for rehearsals ;), but sometimes the people there drove me insane, and I won't miss being absolutely exhausted the next day.
We recorded the last night of the play, which was the best performance of it, since no one forgot their lines, but there were a few fluff ups, but those were SO funny. Gareth (the lead), was describing how he killed his father and he had a chicken leg in his hand when he was doing this and as he swung the chicken leg forward, the meat came off the bone and went flying into the audience! *giggle*
Aoife slipped on stage too, Eimear couldn't get her shawl to stay on a nail so she just left it and Aoife stood on it and slid, fortunately she didn't fall. Someone else slipped on stage, but I can't remember who it was.
One of the reasons I wish the play hadn't been recorded yesterday was that the door in the centre of the set wouldn't close properly. It was being held closed by magnets but they didn't work sometimes so I had to stand beside the door and grab it every time it started to open. One time, I asked Orla (she had a script and was stage manager) if anyone was coming out or going in through the door at any time. And Orla said that Andy had go through the door in a few minutes so I thought it was OK to stand at the door because it wouldn't have to open until Andy was going. And Geoff came over and looked through a hole in the set to watch the play. I grabbed his hat as a joke and he was trying to grab it off of me and the next thing Eimear opens the door to come through and Geoff and I are standing there in plain sight! We both just had to jump out of the way. It turns out Eimear had to empty a basin of water into another basin we had on a stool beside the door and Orla had forgotten about it. There were several other incidents kind of like that last night, I never stood in front of the door again, but I'd say my arms or fingers could be seen grabbing the door at numerous points throughout the play. Sometimes the door would swing open and I couldn't grab it in time so we just had to stand there until someone came off or went in and shut it.
I did have fun backstage though, I would do it again if I had the chance. I'm absolutely exhausted right now though. I was going to go out today but I'm just too tired, I think I'll just stay home and relax for the day.

"Bring Me To Life" - Evanescence |

OK, soo.... haven't typed here in a while. Maybe cuz nothing interesting happens to me. But, guess what? Something interesting! At LAST! ;)
I volunteered to work backstage for the school play. I'm in costumes, so naturally, there's a problem. *rolls eyes* There's a dress rehersal tomorrow, but we don't have the costumes yet! They were only ordered on Friday and the lady who's supposed to be giving them to us is doing 2 other shows at the moment. All I know is, we'd better get those costumes. However, I can't really do anything about it until tomorrow, so I'm putting off panicking until then. I have other things to do. Like writing out the school rules. (No, I'm not doing that for fun. :p) I was late fo Home Ec. class after lunch so the teacher told me to write out the school rules and give them to her tomorrow morning. It's a new procedure because the teachers are sick of people coming in late all the time. Naturally, the first time I'm *ever* late for class is the first day they implement that rule. GREAT timing! :p

SB and I made a deal that if I made an LJ post, he'd make one. So, here ya go,
I went to California for my Christmas holidays. I spent most of my time in my sister, Jackie's, house. It was so cool! I went skiing! I've never been skiing before, I've never seen that much snow before either so that was quite fun.
I went to the Young Scientist's Exhibition with my school today. I though it was OK. We were there for nearly the whole day though, so I started to get bored during the last two hours we were there.
That's about all that's happened in my life that's worth mentioning, except that I hate school and can't wait to get the hell out of there in 2 years.
Oh yeah, and Art class REALLY sucks too.
SB, I do believe it's your turn to post. :)

I'm kind of in a rush so I'm just going to post part of an email I sent to my niece as an update:
I got my LOTR DVD about a week ago. My GOD there's so much stuff. And the extended version of the movie is so much better. I had a lot of time to check everything out cuz I got a really bad cold on Wednesday so I got off school on Thursday and Friday. I was shopping with Orla on Wednesday and while we were waiting for the bus home it began lashing rain. So we got absolutely soaked while waiting for the bus, and I got soaked walking home from the bus stop as well.
I auditioned for a part in the school play a few weeks ago and I got a call back last week. My call back was last Tuesday. I totally screwed up though because I couldn't do an Irish country accent. Ugh. I just *can't* do any Irish accents except my own and my own is more of a mixture of an Irish and an American accent. As you know, when I'm in CA my accent goes ALL American. So I was pretty hopeless. It was kinda embarrassing because I was the only one out of the 5 of us doing it that couldn't do that accent.
There were also auditions for two plays that the school was going to do for a competition. We got bored when we were finished doing the school play so we moved on and started doing the competition plays. One of them involved doing a Northern Ireland accent, I totally screwed up again because Irish accents just elude me. I just can't pick them up.
The other competition play was just.... hilarious. It's about this couple in their 30s and they've been going out for quite a while. But the mother of the woman is real religious so she won't let them do..*ahem*.. anything. And they sit in the room below hers so the mother can hear if they're talking or not, and if there's silence the old woman freaks out and starts ringing a bell because she thinks they're going at it. So the man recites a poem he learnt when he was in school when they're.. *eham*. And the woman has to interrupt sometimes just to make it seem natural. But when the man gets interrupted while he's reciting the poem, he has to start all over again, because he can't pick up from where he left off.
So the first part of the play was grand, Aishling and Gareth were reading and it was mostly just the woman giving out about her mother and yer man makiung fun of her. Then when it started going into the couch scene the drama teacher decided to switch the actors... so *I* had to read the part with Stephen. Oh my God, it was hilarious. Stephen was grand, all he had to do was keep reciting the poem. *I* on the other hand, had to keep moaning and saying "OH, Andy" and all this stuff. Andy's the character's name, btw. I was Hanna. And WHILE we're doing this Aishling, Orla and the drama teacher start laughing because, oh lets face it, the scene is funny. It goes some thing like this:
Andy: [Insert lines of poem here because I really can't remember them]
Hanna: "Oh, Andy!"
Andy: "[Insert more of poem here]... God SAY something, woman!"
Hanna: *moans*
Andy: "Say something!"
Hanna: "Kiss me, Andy."
Andy: "Say more than that!"
THEN Stephen started chuckling and that made me giggle, so I missed my line and Stephen starts poking my thigh under the table, trying to get me to say my line and I'm thinking, "My GOD don't touch me while we're reading this scene. Just DON'T!"
Quite possibly the funniest and most embarrassing audition I've ever done in my life. One thing, Andy is NEVER EVER hearing about it. He'd never let me hear the end of it. He's in the running for the part of Andy though. It's either him or Darragh. Lisa got the part of Hanna. I really hope Andy gets the part. He'd just be perfect for it becuase he's really good at comedy while being serious, if you get what I mean. He can say and do the funniest things with a straight face.
