New Beginning

Hi!

I have been hiding on purpose since before christmas, I am sorry about that, but I didn't feel like writing about my real life and I didn't want to lie so I just took a break. So there you have it.

What basically happened was that I quit my full time job at Fallon & Byrne. I quit because it made me less "Þrallur". My mood was bad, I spent all my free time on buses, was working six days a week. It just made me unÞrallur.

Since I never had free time I saved up loads and heaps of money and decided to take a break, go to Sweden and have a nice cool down before I'd start working again. I was still working one day a week anyway in the market.

Then I found out my boss was leaving to Australia for three weeks and the forth week the market was off anyway. So that meant my brilliant calculations about how long I could be unemployed had to be recalculated.

On christmas I found out I had spent too much to keep my old plan so I started to look for jobs.

Ireland said no way, we plan to cut jobs, fire loads and heaps of people and not hire anyone.

I said shitty bollocks and counted my money and found out that if i saved money for next rent i would have seven euro a day until I'd be back on the market. For those who don't think in euros:
Beer: 5€
Bus: 2€
So I took some money and bought food from LIDL(Bónus) and just stayed home as much as I could when I wasn't looking for jobs. I have never eaten as healthy as this January,... and I had no Coke or chocolate!

I didn't want people to know what a bum I had become so I didn't blog for a while.

Today I had a job interview and I got a trial, but I am pretty sure I will nail it. It's a barista job in a nice café in a hostel in Dublin. Loads of young foreign customers and a nice cozy atmosphere.



Other news from my life,...

I spent christmas in Bray in Ireland with my friend and flat mate Scott's family. I enjoyed it a lot. Was very different from an Icelandic or a Swedish christmas. Main day is of course the 25th, turkey and stuffing for dinner, presents in the morning, no snow,...

New year was very dull and boring so nothing to say there.

I played a lot of World of Warcraft, an online computer game, to save money. For those who care:
Night Elf Druid Alchemist and Herbalist L29
Blood Elf Hunter Miner and Jewelcrafter L59

I just started going to a drama club last night. Went really well, me and my friend Joe made a sketch using the the lyrics from Wild Boys by Duran Duran. Got really good comments and I am so proud.

I said yes to being a "bearded male dancer" for a friend who is competing in Alternative Miss Ireland. We will be eight in the background and one queen in front. Don't know any of the songs yet, but I think this could be really funny.

I went to Sweden to visit mum and my family, was great fun and loads of snow. Played singstar and had loads of whiskey.

That's enough for now.
