About Me

Tagline
Ba mhaith liom ag dul go dtí mo leaba ANOIS.
Me, Myself, and I
I really, genuinely love life..

Some things you may wish to know about me: I love lists, certain movies, music, my wonderful friends, getting stuck into a good book, father ted, frasier, black books, the occasional jigsaw and fine cheeses. (brie and gouda are mighty nice.)
Most importantly, I love God with all my heart, and in everything I do I'm seeking to serve Him and bring glory to His name. It's why I was created, and I can't think of a better reason to exist.
The Other Half Of Me
Ruth Condell

Ruth Condell

some things in life get better with age.. not ruth

Music
The Frames, Simon and Garfunkel, Bic Runga, Imogen Heap, Whiskeytown, Muse, Chris Cornell, Foo Fighters, Damien Rice, Pixies, Frou Frou, The Goo Goo Dolls, The Cure, Mercury Rev, Queen, U2, Louis Armstrong, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Damien Dempsey, the Divine Comedy, Paddy Casey, Radiohead, The Polyphonic Spree, The Cranberries, Andy McKee, Belle and Sebastian, Juno Falls, Elvis Costello, Jack L, Jim Croce, Leona Naess, Mercury Rev, Mic Christopher, Norah Jones, Pixies, REM, Six Star Hotel... if I said them all we'd be here quite some time =)
Films
lets just say i love fred astaire, adrien brody and bill murray. Specifically: Into The Wild, Shawshank, Dead Poet's Society, The Pianist, White Oleander, Lost in Translation, The Shipping News, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Green Mile, House of Sand and Fog, American History X and The Adventures of the Brave Little Toaster =)
books of the amazing variety..
Catch 22 , I'm not scared, How many miles to Babylon, The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, Green Mile, Pride and Prejudice, How I live now, Life of Pi, Enduring Love, Persuasion, A farewell to arms, To kill a mockingbird, The remains of the day, Wuthering Heights, The Interpretation of Murder and The Ninth Life of Louis Drax.. i like my books =)
Strange moments of the summer:
Waking up to a sunrise aboard a sleeper train hurtling 120km an hour towards Crimea...praying while sitting on a slimey green rock in the middle of the Black Sea..... teaching Igor to say 'By jove, she's got it!'.....watching Tammy slide down a mountain on a poncho.......huddling in a sheep pen to eat lunch....... crossing one man's pass in the mist..... lying outside watching the waves come in and getting sunburnt at Port. Good times indeed!!
Things I love...
Reading. (have resorted to cereal and shampoo bottles in the past!) Glencree, turning my phone off in the middle of a conversation so I'll have a message to wake up to, freshly fallen snow, hearing songs I havn't heard in ages, spinach tortellini, Italy, Brendan Fraser, rereading old diaries I've kept, getting letters, those times when prayer feels like God is right beside you, attempting to speak Russian, or any of the other languages I know a tiny amount of, talking about my faith, kids toys, conversations late at night, the reader's digest, MUSIC, my boots 'cos they're furry, my cats 'cos they're furry, snowball fights, going for walks and being in the middle of spectacular scenery - donegal mountains, the alps, Wicklow mountains, Glenveagh national Park and the view out over Belfast from the hill near my house. Think that's it!!

  • Behold I Stand

    When the night is deep
    With the sense of Christmas
    and expectancy hangs heavy
    On every breath

    Behold I stand at the door and knock.

    When the floor is knee-deep
    In discarded wrapping paper;
    And the new books are open at page one;
    And the new toys are already broken,
    Behold I stand at the door and knock.
    When the family is squashed
    Elbow to elbow
    Around the table,
    And the furious rush for food is over
    And the only word that can describe the feeling
    Is "full",

    Behold I stand at the door and knock.

    When Christmas is over
    And the television is silent
    For the first time in two days
    And who sent which card to whom
    Is forgotten until next year
    Behold I stand at the door.
    And when the nation has finished celebrating
    Christmas without Christ
    A birthday without a birth
    The coming of a kingdom
    Without a king
    When I am forgotten
    Despised
    rejected
    Crucified,



    Behold I stand.

    c. Gerard Kelly

  • Some more wisdom from Randy

    Earl: Those are poisoned.
    Randy: How poisoned?


    Randy: Are you gonna tell her that he's alive? She thinks he's dead, but he's not. He's not dead. He's living. He's alive. He's not dead like she thinks he is.


    Darnell: Here's the food.
    Earl: Thanks, Crabman.
    Darnell: Hey, I've been thinking about coming up with another phrase for when I drop off the food.
    Earl: I have no opinion on that.
    Darnell: Yeah, it's tricky.
    Randy: I like 'Here's the food," 'cause that's what's happening.


    'Another doll's head, Earl! That makes four. Just think, if these were real heads, this would be a terrible day.''

    When you said a different kind of cavity did you mean butt cavity? Sometimes I don’t like the world we live in..


    Man I wish I had robot legs or robot hands. Robot hands would be cool with, like, a knife finger and a spoon finger and a fork finger and a toothbrush finger and a comb finger and a bottle opener finger and a flashlight finger and a screw driver finger, but regular thumbs. Ya gotta have regular thumbs


    Randy: I never understood how Bill is short for William. If anything Bill should be short for Billiam.


    Earl: I just found a cheque made out to Randy

    Randy: Randy who? Is it Randy me? Those are my pants, it could be Randy me

    Randy: Maybe you should listen to Catalina: she's a woman just like Natalie. They're both women, her and Natalie. You and I are men. We're not women.
    Earl: Sometimes Randy takes a long road to a simple thought.
    Randy: You see, men think different than women. You and I think different than Natalie and Catalina 'cause we are men and they are women. I'm right, right? I'm not wrong... Am I wrong?
    Earl: No.

    ''Hey, Earl, did you hear about me and the Cheeto? Oh, it was pretty amazing. I was eating some Cheetos, and I missed my mouth with one, and it bounced off my chin and onto my shoulder, and then it rolled all the way down my arm and right back into the bag. Everyone at the Crab Shack is talking about it...[pauses]...I made it up, Earl. It would be pretty cool if it happened, though.''

    Gee thanks! Every time I think of Puck I just think of a little bald guy with horns... =P

    Well I've been reading the 'House of Night' series lately - very addictive! Unfortunately I have now reached book five, which means I have to wait until October for book six... =( I counted yesterday and I have read 13 books in the last two weeks!

    Glad you enjoyed Vienna! I'm still absurdly jealous of you... I've always really wanted to go there =( But hey, this time next week I'll be screaming my head off on rollercoasters whilst 'talent-spotting' amongst the many beautiful Spanish men.

    Have some love too!
