Countdown..!

The X Factor, not about the singing any more!

When the X Factor first appeared on our screens, we had the opportunity to hear and see hundreds of hopefuls that wanted to be the next Christina Aguilera or the next Justin Timberlake. It was all about the persons voice being judged and how well they can sing and perform. Now however it is totally different. The participants are being judged on their appearance the majority of the time and then their voice. This is not what the show is about! It makes me so angry to think that just because someone doesn't have bleached blonde hair and is a size zero they can't win the competition. Last Saturday night i was flicking through the channels and decided to watch it. This woman was in her early thirty's singing in front of the judges. Her voice was amazing! When it came to the judges comments not one of them commented on her voice! They criticised her outfit they said she looked fat and in front of an audience. I felt so sorry for her! Then this girl group sang. They all looked the exact same. Long straight hair, skinny and wearing revealing outfits. They couldn't sing to save their lives! When they finished singing the judges went on about how "gorgeous" the girls looked and how they could be the new Girls Aloud. I was thinking to myself these judges are clearly tone deaf! I have always wanted to be a singer. Its my dream. All my friends and family think i should go for the X Factor. But I would never subject myself to such unhealthy criticism on national TV. Basically the message I think is being sent out is if your not a male model or look like Britney in her prime then don't try out!

The day I met McFly!!!

1st of December, 2006..best day of my life so far! It was the day I met the best band in the world(in my opinion!)McFly!!

I skipped school(bold girl) and went to Dundrum shopping center with 6 fellow McFly lovers! I took pictures with all the lads..they were all nice except Danny..my favourite..he was a bit stuck up!

Here are some pictures of me and the best looking lads ever!!

Bus Eireann versus Matthews Bus..who wins?

There is this constant debate between students of DKIT. The Bus Eireann bus, commonly known as the "poverty bus" or the Matthews bus, commonly known as the "golden ticket bus". I am a devout Bus Eireann passenger! Yes i earn a good bit of cash from my job but why in God's name would i spend 40euro a week on the Matthews bus where i could spend 25euro on the Bus Eireann bus?? That 15euro saved could be spent on good old alcohol or credit! OK we don't have reclining seats and air conditioning on our bus, but at least it's warm and dry(sometimes).
I would pick Bus Eireann any day!

I hate work so much!

OK i know i moan about work a lot but I just hate the place after last weekend! I went into work last Thursday and went upstairs to look at the roster for the week. When I started working in Dunnes I told the manager i couldn't work on Mondays and Thursdays due to late college lectures on these days. She accepted this and said that it would be no problem. Ironically I always find myself working on Thursdays. I'm never in on Mondays. As it's my birthday on Monday I assumed I would not be in. However I looked at the roster and found I would be in 6-10 on my birthday! I then looked at the rest of my hours and I was supposed to be in 4 other days. It seemed like the minute I turned 18 I would be working more hours than I agreed to work when I signed my contract. I was livid. I went down to the manager and asked why was I in work on Monday and she simply said "because I say so". I told her I was swapping hours with someone and she said that if I didn't find anyone to swap with me I would have to work. Eventually one girl obliged to help me out so in turn I would be working on Thursday for her. I had no problem with this. Then i realised i would be working Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I would also be working till half 11 on Thursday and Friday. I was really looking forward to turning 18 and all of a sudden i wished i was 16 again! So in conclusion I hate Dunnes Stores even more than I hated then last week!
