"I've been to the dentist a thousand times, so I know the drill."

It was my birthday 2 days ago and I recieved a new laptop as a gift from my parents, with contributions from my grandparents and a couple of uncles and aunts. I'm very, very grateful! And my mum had arranged a surprise birthday party for me at my granny's house as well, making the day spectacular fun. My three best friends were there, which made it all the more fun. And I actually got redfaced a lot, first when some random old ladies sung Happy Birthday to me in the Kilmorey Arms, as my birthday cake was brought in, and secondly when I walked through the door to the kitchen at my granny's house and saw everyone there, cameras at the ready to snap a picture of me in my shock and embarassment. Cards were shoved into my arms and I opened them, pocketing the money, and attempted to read them but I couldn't concentrate enough to actually know what I was looking at. But it was a very good day! The party was over at 11pm because it was a school night; everyone had started leaving at 10.30.

My granda gave me a hat that belonged to my great granda, before he died, and it has such sentimental value that I felt priviledged to be wearing it. He said it suited me, lol.

Yesterday passed very uneventfully and so I have nothing exciting to say on that topic, but today is friday, I should have something better to say, right? Wrong. Today I sat in school for 5 days, then went home, made this account, walked my dog and went to work. And that was my day. My iPod is dead and I'm much too lazy to be bothered to charge it, so when I walked my dog I felt at a loss without music. I sang to myself the whole time to fill the gap ha. I must have sounded so strange singing the chorus for Nightwork by Scissor Sisters on a loop while being pulled along by my dog.

At work I got very frustrated:
D: Mary-Jane, will you clean this trolley for me? It'll need quite a bit of a clean.
J: Can you clean this for me when you're done?
Me: Sure, sure.
G: Mary-Jane, get a mop!
Me: [scrubbing at the trolley] Frig sake... [turning around] OMG THE KITCHEN IS FLOODED HOW?!

Too much is expected of me at once! And 90 people eating. At the same time. Oh my goodness. When all the waiters/waitresses came in with those dishes I felt like they had just raped my nicely cleaned sink! With the help of two others we finished cleaning by 10.30pm. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me on my own! I'd probably still be there now.

At the moment I'm listening to Dental Care by Owl City. The song makes me laugh because of the silly pun:

I've been to the dentist a thousand times, so I know the drill.

Lol, I'm very immature.

Tomorrow I'm going to Belfast for the day with my friends as my original plan to celebrate my birthday was to waste money on silly things, such as star trek badges in Forbidden Planet and new mangas, lol. I also want a new hat but I think I'm pushing it because I don't have that much money (especially after I buy the graphics tablet). Hopefully it will be a good day.
