In which Ash gets a blast from bebo comment past and is once again humiliated by french.


1) Karma is hilarious.
I've decided to take requests in this blog. Cos I'm good like that. Tuireann's birthday bash!!Things I noticed on saturday evening:
a) Blesso bouncers are a bit pointless.
b) Duffy does pub gigs now.
c) Duncan the bowl/cup is awesome but shows up at inappropriate times.
d) Tuireann's brother is a total pirate.
Things I noticed on Sunday morning:
a) Waking up in a bed with 3 other people, one of them being a scantily clad Conor Walsh, is odd.
b) Being woken up at 8 in the morning by drunk people banging pots and singing George Michael's classic 'Never Gonna Dance Again' is quite hilarious.
c) Idiots deciding to steal a kayak to sail across Blessington lake only to almost drown will always be hilarious.
d) Why was the furniture in the attic?!

2) Dr. Michael Brophy
As Cassie has mentioned in comments, we've decided Dr. Michael Brophy is the human equivalent of water. Dr. Michael Brohy was christened Dr. Michael Brophy and no one has ever called him by anything else. Dr. Michael Brophy lost his accent and the ability to emphasise any part of his speech in a freak poetry accident. Dr. Michael Brophy was born with the exact bland hairstyle and 'stache combo he still sports today. Dr. Michael Brophy is one of those "Yes, Mother...." people. Dr. Michael Brophy is a fan of the beige slacks.

3) You win again, French =_=
Tutor: blah blah blah french poerty blah blah. So what is this poem about? Can anyone tell me?Class: Silence....
Tutor: *asks the same question in different ways for about 5 minutes*
Class: Silence....
Me: *as usual freaks out with so much silence*
Tutor: same questionMe: *mentally pulling hair out*
Class: Silence....
Tutor: Silence.....
Me: *spouts some nonsense about memory just to fill silence* [mind you it was ms o dwyer standard waffle!]
Tutor: *Goes on for ages about how wrong i am and that the question was actually invalid and should have been what does the poem do* or some crap like that.
Guy beside me: *snigger*
Me: mumble mumble 'spose mumble...

She hates my guts!! As does French in general.

4) Pussycat Dolls on ice!
Funtimes were had by all at ice skating last night. Tara's gonna be on the next strictly on ice or whatever that's called. No way it was her first time! My epic fall was painfully entertaining and Rach got her come upance for not buying a luas ticket - a long walk back from Smithfield alone! And we turned down drugs, go us!

5) I advise you all to read your bebo comments from years ago
This gave me endless entertainment today! Oh the things some of you came out with. Obviously I can't post all of them so I'm going to pick a theme. It is "I'm obviously really annoying and have pissed these people off" Enjoy...
Tuireann O Neill
AHHHHHHHHHHH ATTENTION EVERYBODY!!! i, tuireann o neill, do not own a purse, this is an ellaborate lie created by one Aisling Maguire to bring my sexuality into question so as to conquer the world itself! if you value your lives,or more importantly mine, you shallt rebel!REBEL!! fight this doer of evil! this maker-upper of lies!For a freer more equal Scotland! we will defeat the king....i got a bit caught up 100 weeks ago

Karl Dizzle
damn!!!!you got tude tryn tat shite nigga..watch your back homie or im gna cap you and your niggaz...im an ice cold killa 96 weeks ago

Ryan Byrne
Must You contradict everything i do, literally, everthing has to have a backcomment. everything. well not this time!!!!. Ask david attenborough, when tortoises are young they have to jump from there nest on the beach to the water. Mama turtle however will lay her eggs in the shallows under sand. therefore here young dont jump to the water as they are already there!!.also, a turtle will never leave water voluntarily. only silly humans lift them out in the zoo to let the kids pet them!!. "go" is a sentence!!it does have a subject. as in "go" said ryan as his horse crossed the finish line, ryan is talking to the horse! or another example: "go", "go and fuck off with your arrogant comments!!" 98 weeks ago

That ones my favourite ^^


This weeks friend crushes
1. The Recession
2. Whoever came up with the phrase "a legend in his own lunchbox"

In which Ash discusses accents, friend crushes, being a bum and, inevitably, Jemaine.


1) I totally re enforce the Arts student stereotype:

I’m far too good at procrastinating. I’m doing it right now! When college first started, I was all “FUUUUCK me this is a lot of work” but I have discovered it’s so much easier when you just don’t do the work and it’s much less time consuming when you just don’t go to tutorials. As a result you will often find me, Cassie and Kate sitting in the arts cafe, most likely playing tetris while I stalk David. We occasionally venture to the canteen. Of course lectures are far too fun to miss. Some of my favourite lecture activities include:


a) Enjoying how Luca Asmonti pronounces things, says “crispy reading” and dresses snappily.

b) Being distracted by Cassie

c) Having staring contests with the guy from the French news

d) Trying to figure out where the frick Dr. Michael Brophy is from! The man has NO accent!

e) Tetris.


2)French hates me:


I have bucket loads of evidence to back this up.


a)The phone incident: There was me, thinking I was gonna be a good French student and staunch it back to UCD with K.Dizzle to see the screening of L’auberge Espagnol. Of course no one showed up. About 10 people and the lectrices. The film itself was a mildly entertaining tale of some dude who went to Spain, took up pot smoking and fell in love with a lesbian from Belgium. (Myself and karl noted afterwards that more people would have shown up if the drugs and Belgian lesbians were mentioned beforehand). Anyway, we had to leave halfway through to catch the all important Jtown bus. Being all subtle and the like we reach the door only to let my phone drop and watch it fall, in the slowest and noisiest way possible, all the way to the bottom of the theatre, onto the stage, smash spectacularly into 3 different pieces which of course flew in different directions. I turn around, hoping for the moral support of karl but in classic karl style he’s already eeled his way out the door. So I retrieve my phone in shame with the eyes of 15 people glued to me, which takes an agonisingly long time, try to make it out without bursting out laughing and of course fail. Finally leave the lecture hall to find karl practically on the ground in stitches. Yeah... made a show of meself.


b)They lost my assignment. They found my assignment but just kept leaving it places where they couldn’t return it to me. I was annoyed!


c)I’m fairly convinced that French has 4,000 tenses just to annoy me.


3) My accent is blaaaaand:


College life has brought me into contact with many super awesome accents including: French, Donegal, South African, Japanese, assorted bog accents, English, Welsh, various degrees of American and in the case of Dr. Michael Brophy, NO ACCENT WHATSOEVER. This has brought me to the conclusion that my own accent is very boring indeed and I plan on acquiring a new one in the near future.


4) Friend Crushes:


This new concept is very helpful. It describes when you see someone you don’t really know and go “wow... I really want to be that person’s friend”. People who I currently have friend crushes on:

1)Andrew McMahon

2)Barack!

3)Luca Asmonti and Alexander Thein (Greek&Roman Lecturers!)

4)Lionel Richie

5) JEMAINE.


FOTC Lyric of the week:

So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute.

Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute.

Ladies wouldn't pay you very much for this.

Looks like you'll never be a concert flutist.

*Jemaine Dance*


My favourite thing at the moment: Morning chats with Kate and Aleisha ^^
