My Freaky Dreams & Also Aspirations For Life

Hey Everyone!

So I'm interpreting this theme to be in two ways. 1. Dreams as in what we dream at night, also  2. dreams and aspirations for life. I have discussed issues such as the second, ie hopes for the future.

1. Dreams we dream at night.

Personally, I don't really remember my dreams that well, I get flashes and the next day I get more flashes of the dream and it like works itself together into a weird mess of what I dreamt the night before. On Tuesday night, I had REALLY weird dreams, maybe I should tell you about them?

Well, the first dream was about maths class. Yes, MATHS. I have my Mid Term holidays at the moment and my teachers gave us a mountain of homework (which I have more or less finished thankfully) however, in the dream, I was back in school and I hadn't finished my maths homework! Cue my anxiety kicking in, panicking, trying to be calm and sitting in a classroom as the teacher checks to see if everyone did the work.
Weirder still, suddenly, in the dream, the teacher decides to bring us to the cinema to see a film? I woke up very confused and guilty so I started doing my maths homework!

The next two dreams (one from the same night and one from last night) are related to YouTubers. On Monday night I had been watching a YouTube video of Jack and Finn Harries penny-boarding around London I think. The next night I had a dream I was penny-boarding (skateboarding) with them! This sounds really cool, but I don't have good coordination in my feet (I can play badminton and camogie but I can't go on a skateboard, weird but true) so I woke up at like 1 am muttering, ''I can't go on a skateboard, why, why did I have a dream, like what?'' True Story. (I have had weirder dreams, like murdering people and whatnot but these are the dreams I've most recently had!)

The final dream I'm telling you about is one from last night. I can't quite remember it clearly but here goes! I was in London (my favourite place in the world) and I like ran into AmazingPhil and Danisnotonfire (I had been up until past midnight on Tumblr reblogging gif's of them) and Dan was dressed as a Vampire (or actually was one) but I can recall being really happy and practically crying because I finally got to meet them! I woke up feeling happy, then really sad because I've never met them and they don't know I exist. (Fangirl Problems)

However, now onto dreams for my future! Yay.. the future (runs away from responsibilities) I'm seventeen now, which is really scaring me. I've less than two years left in secondary school, then I'll be going to college. I've been dreaming of finishing secondary school since I was a child, and going to college to become a primary school teacher. Teaching is my ultimate dream and to be honest, I have no idea what I would do if I didn't get accepted into primary teaching.

I do get incredibly terrified and anxious when I realise that practically everything I want in life at this moment, is decided by my Leaving Certificate results. In your LC, you can get up to 625 points (A's in all your subjects) and Primary Teaching is 465 points, which is A LOT. Along with certain grade requirements, I often wake up at night shaking with anxiety or before I go to sleep. It's scary when I think of it.

However more ambitions of mine relate to blogging and other websites. I love blogging and in less than a year, when I turn eighteen, I'll have the ability to get paid for blogging. In the Summer, YouTube also offered to make me a Partner-in-YouTube where you are paid depending on how many views you get on your videos, just like AmazingPhil, Danisnotonfire and so many other YouTubers. But due to school, I'm not going to accept it yet, maybe in the summer of 2014 I will. I really don't want to lose the opportunity but I also want to concentrate on my studies, besides, during regular school time, I have little or no time for myself to relax.

So that's about it from me! I hope you enjoyed that random post!

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

Dream with me?

Blurry but so clear,
Dark but light will be forever here.
Thoughts envelope me, swallow me up, send me off

 A pink flush, a lovely rush,
An eerie cry, that leaves me terrorised.
Thoughts envelope me, swallow me up, send me off

The smell of laughter will fill me up,
Swollen belly, full of hopes an aspirations.
Thoughts envelope me, swallow me up, send me off 

A sense of light,
Not a flashlighy, or a candle
But a sun so warm, so mighty
Yes, I can handle
Thoughts envelope me, swallow me up, send me off

The nerd in me, will be forever pleased,
Words swarm in, captivate me
Thoughts envelope me, swallow me up, send me off

 Cut not the wings of your dreams,
for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.

Tuesday : Dreams

It's 22:57 on Monday the Twenty-Eighth of the tenth month of the two thousand and thirteenth year. I'm on the notes app on my iPod thinking of what dreams to write about because the wifi is turned so I suppose one of my dreams is for the wifi to be left on at night ! Earlier I was in a right panic as I didn't know what the present week's topic was so I asked Aveen, She couldn't recall it either but she checked her emails and was able to let me know that this week's topic is dreams so s/o to Aveen hahah and I was just like "no doubt my post is going to be all deep yet again" ! Another dream then could be that I don't panic so much because I'm panicking right now like what am I even going to write ? And then midterm only lasts a week and Monday's already over this day next week I'm back in school ! I've so much homework to do and I need to finish my art prep sheet and library book for English too so I'm just here like that could all take me month why do I only have a week ? Everyone says Third Year or "Junior Cert Year" as it's nicknamed, Goes by so quick that it'll be April and it will feel like it was only just October. I'm forced to agree seeing as the first half of the first term has flown by and I still keep thinking it's still the end of September or the start of October, I mean like tomorrow is the twenty ninth of October - It's two months since we went back to school, It doesn't even feel like two weeks. I wish away the Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months and Years, There is no doubt about that. Even though I like my school timetable and then there's the weekend, I still want to get everything over with and everyday I'm just counting down the days to whatever and then when I look back I get all nostalgic (since I discovered its meaning several days ago, It is my new overused favourite word !) and I realise at the end of everyday that I wasted that day just waiting for the end of it and that feeling makes me feel even shittier and want to wish everything away even more, I can't help it, I just do ! No doubt if August to October went by this quick, It can't feel too long until Christmas then. But I panic when I think about this because there'll be Christmas exams in December, Then its Christmas and i get all depressed at the end of christmas day and then theres new year which scares me, Then when we go back to school I'll desperately need to begin studying for the junior cert seeing as the Mocks (basically a preview of the exams like a mock exam of the final exams !) take place in February before midterm and then it's my birthday in March and after that it's Easter holidays, Then there's the Art exam and my Irish oral and music practical and before I know where I am I'll be spending my last classes in third year and alot of the people I won't be in class with again because they'll either be skipping Transition Year or we won't be in the same classes in TY and I'll be sitting my Junior Cert (ten exams based on three years worth of work woohoo !) in June. 

As you can see I wish away everything and I can honestly say that I cannot remember alot of good things that have happened because in my head I rushed them. My dream is not to wish my life away and for the days to feel longer,

Dreams - Phoebs

Heyy! Its phoebs :) 

This weeks topic is the one I chose the theme for - Dreams! I really wanted to share my dream with you guys. I am gonna share my biggest dream with you - Performing on the West End.

So if you didnt know, the west end is like the UK 's version of broadway , top musicals are performed there. 

My dream started at primary school. I was always singing in the choirs and occasionally I got a solo . And then when I was in year 6 ( oldest year of primary school) I auditioned for the school musical - Guys and Dolls. We had to act, sing and dance for the audition. To my surpirise, I got the main part! I played Sarah Brown. 

Then rehearsals started and I LOVED every second of it. I was in my element. That was all good, but I think I really caught the musical theatre bug when we performed it. And especially afterwards . I felt I was flying. That was my best memory of that school. 

Now at senior school, I am in the musical theatre club. You have to audition and it is a lot serious but I like that. As I am quite young in the school I dont get main parts but thats cool coz I like being on stage anyways.  That sounds attention seeking, haha. 

Drama/musical theatre/ singing is like all my hobbies, its really all I do . I am so glad I have found something that I am so passionate about. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and if some of you share the same dream, comment!

Amazing Alex: Religion (Homosexuality)

"Gay people are born and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths. They are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes. And whether we know it, or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Being gay is not a western invention. It is a human reality." 
-Hillary Clinton

This week's topic is religion. I wasn't quite sure how to tackle this topic, but Pauline gave me the idea of homosexuality. I'm quite excited to write about this because I have a strong passion about it.

I don't want to dive "too deep" into the topic just because I don't want to offend anyone.

The Catholic Bible states that one man shall not lye next to another man, or so I've been told. Some friends are mine strictly state that you should not like the same gender. It's kind of like saying blond haired people can't like other blond haired people. Is that right?

I believe that the bible was written many, many years ago... and that there are some revisions that need to be made. I'm sure a lot of people agree with me.

A lot of people look down upon people who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. I find this irrational because it can be seen as a form of bullying. I have heard the saying, "that's so gay!" throughout my school several times a day. I don't know why people say that because it's not a true statement. When someone does something wrong or when someone says something invalid that saying is the first to come out of some one's mouth.

I think people should rethink that statement before saying it.

I'm not really sure how to add to this topic... so I think I'll just close it once again by stating even though it may be against the bible, I still find it as a lifestyle to encourage. If someone just happens to like the same gender than we should support it.

Only 15 states out of 50 in the United States allow same sex marriage. Hopefully within the next few years that number will increase because everyone deserves equal rights.

One of my favorite talk show hosts is a lesbian, Ellen Degeneres, and I support and value her decisions 100%.


Thanks for reading! Xoxo,

Religion - phoebs

Hello Beauties!

This weeks topic is religion. I am excited to post about this but it is a tough post to do! Anyways lets dive in *makessplashingnoiseinmind*

I could do a really heavy post, but I have decided to keep it light and easy - ONE DIRECTION (or any boyband fo that matter) 

Many 1D fans consider themselves as DIRECTIONERS. As an outsider from the directioner community ( not a big fan, sorry!) being a directioner sounds like a religion. Lets take a look : 

To be a directioner, you need : 

1D posters covering your walls

Every 1D song on your ipod/phone/mp3/general music player

To know about the background of every member, or be willing to learn this

Like 1D on as many social media sites you have 

Attend as many concerts/signings as you can. 

Be emotional with one direction ; if zayn broke up with perrie , you cry .

This is the same for belibers (justin beiber), jls -sters (JLS) and so on . 

So is 1D a religion? 

if you look at different religious traditions, yes ,directioners should be considered a religion. 

After all,jesus had an impact on the people at the time he was alive, so have 1D. 1D might not have done things amazing for society, but I bet directioners think they have. 

To conclude ( this sounds like an essay , ha) your love for something, if you treat it like a lifestyle choice, it could be a religion. Maybe in 500years from now 1D might be the biggest religion in the world? I doubt it, but who knows?

I hope you enjoyed this post, be sure to check out my blog! www.geekchicnotes.blogspot.co.uk

Religion In Ireland ~ Aveen

Hey Everyone!

Another week has come and gone, and this week I'm here to talk to you all about religion. First of all though, I'd like to say a huge HELLO to Grace from Dainty Sprinkles who has joined the GOALLAP collab! If you didn't know, Grace and I are friends in real life so it's great that we both work on the same collaboration blog!

So, religion. In Ireland and presumably everywhere in the world, religion is a tetchy subject to discuss. Around 90% of people in Ireland are Catholic. This statistic includes me, I was baptised, made my Communion and my Confirmation when I was younger, not really realising what they were. (Communion and Confirmation is a huge time to get cards and gifts from family and friends)

However, like me, not many people attend mass often, mass attendance rates are below 30%, and there's quite a few reasons for this. Obviously the recession here in Ireland may discourage people from attending, time constraints and also the decades of clerical abuse in Ireland. I personally am not comfortable discussing the clerical abuse, but if your curious about what happened in Ireland in the Church, some schools and the Magdalene laundries, feel free to Google them, they'll give you more insight that I could.

However, my religion is slightly complex too. Due to being a teenager and having ''whacky'' ideas, I'm not quite sure what religion I am. On records and documents, I'm Catholic. However I rarely go to Mass. But it doesn't mean I don't believe in something ''up there''. I feel there is something, but I'm not quite sure what that something is. I personally like to believe that my Granny and Grandad are up there helping me and all my family through life. Some things in my life, which could have so easily have gone wrong, didn't. I've also had many near death experiences (Three this year on a pedestrian crossing ironically) but it's almost as if something/someone intervened and guided me to safety.

Call me crazy, but I like to believe that I have a Guardian Angel (My Granny in particular) who I look to for guidance and helps me when I'm in need. Another question I get is, do I pray? The answer? Yes, not often, but I do pray. Whenever I'm in Mass obviously, whenever a family member has a serious operation, myself and my Mam (if I'm around) go to the Church, light some candles and pray. Wooooo.

So that's about it for this week, religion was an interesting topic to discuss, especially in relation to Ireland and also myself. Hope you enjoyed reading my random musings, if you want to talk about anything or ask me any questions, feel free to do so in the comments!

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

Aveen
