I'll be blogging soon, just not yet. I don't want to but I will when I'm feeling happier. Sorry.

Mmmh, I've had the strangest 24 hours in my life. Everything started off grand, a bit of confusion about what was happening later on in the night and whether or not I was going to be going into town with Vinny and Izzy, either way I headed out to work to open the shop. Work was alright, nothing to major, myself and Leo were extremely busy, but I guess I'm not used to working Saturdays any more. So, about 8.30 Vinny calls into the store and waits for Izzy to get off the bus. Eventually Izzy turns up, we had a quick chat about what we were all doing later on, and so it was decided that we were going to go in for a few drinks.

A couple of minutes before I finished work I get a phone call from Barry, my housemate, saying that he was in town with Megan and that they couldn't get into Issac Butts from some reason, but that he was going to Fibbers. Fair enough I thought, and thought no more about it. Just as I was about to close the store at midnight Vinny and Izzy turn up so we can all catch a taxi together. I managed to flag a taxi down after from frantic arm waving and running. So not long after that and a brief conversation with the taxi driver we get into Fibbers. We then locate where Barry and Megan were sitting. Anyways after a few beers 3 O'clock rolls around and it was kick out time. We headed down and hopped on a Nitelink home.

Now this is where the story picks up. Barry, Vinny and I all caught the Nitelink to Lucan seeing that we’re all from around there. The Nitelink journey was pretty much pleasant enough considering drunken people surrounded us, we ran into Siobhan, one of Barry's Neighbours, who had just finished work. She sat down in a seat on the left handside of the bus, but while the bus steadily filled with intoxicated people she moved over and sat next to Barry on the right handside of the bus. It was pleasant until we got to Liffey Valley. Some drunken people from the front of the bus, who were quite loud and drunken, got off the bus. Seconds later, all I really remember was shards of glass bouncing off my face. A little stunned I quickly checked to see if I had been cut, thankfully I wasn't cut nor was nobody else. However Vinny and Barry, who were sitting directly opposite of the window got most of the glass in their faces. Annoyed at this they went down to the Bus Driver to get his Name and Registration Number, just so we can make a report to the cops about it. The Bus Drivers attitude was basically, 'No, Fuck off'. What then annoyed me was that he just carried on as normal, he didn't even get out of his cabin to check to see if we were alright. I could understand that he was pretty scared about what just happened but think about it, he was in no way in any danger, unlike Siobhan, who if didn't move would have copped the full blast of the window and rock.

So we waited until we were getting off the bus to find out the driver's details. Vinny and I headed down to the driver to inquire about what his details were. Now, remember when I said that we had a few beers, well don't forget that both Vinny and myself only got into the pub at 12.15, so we weren't even tipsy. The Bus Driver started mouthing off, saying that we were to get off the Bus and that he wouldn't give us his details. I demanded to know his details, and he went to close the doors and drive on with us still in the bus until I said, "Go ahead mate, and I'll have you done for unlawful imprisonment!" and he stopped the Bus. Finally the cogs in his head started to click into place. He once again demanded that we got off the bus, and with this I walked in front of the bus and started to take down his bus registration. While I was doing that two random blokes came down the stairs and punched Barry in the face completely unprovoked. Barry a little shaken up, and covered in blood noticed that the scumbag had broken one of his front teeth. Barry staggers off the bus blood soaked, as the scumbag picks up a bit of Barry tooth and fucks it down the bus. Vinny lands a couple of punches with the scumbags, meanwhile Siobhan is in the middle of all this unharmed. Barry then heads back on to the bus, but I grab him just in time before he got back on. Holding Barry back, I managed to rip his new shirt. But Barry keeps going, and runs on to the bus screaming and f'ing and blinding scaring the beejasus out of the two scumbags. I run back onto the bus grabbed both Vinng and Barry and pulled them both back off the bus. The minute I managed to pull the two lads off the bus driver took off instantly, with Siobhan on it.

A couple of minutes later, I phoned 999 and report an attack. I kept ringing until I eventually got a Garda car up to the house. Before the cops get to the house, Siobhan turns up with the Drivers details. After a couple of minutes, we soon discover that 95% the cameras on Dublin Bus don't work. I have to give it to the Gardaí. They were pleasant, understanding. They knew exactly why we wanted the driver's details but they couldn't understand why we were attacked. They took our details down, and soon left. What really pisses us of is the fact that the driver instead of telling us to fuck off could have spent less time by just writing down his details and giving them to us. It just makes me sick to think that we were the ones that could have been injured by the rock through the window but yet we were treated as the ones who carried out the act. Another thing that gets to me is the fact that the camera's on the bus lures you into a false sense of security.

At the end of the night, Vinny had some cuts and scraps, Siobhan could have been seriously injured, and Barry was left with a chunk missing from his front tooth. And me? I'm just disappointed that I didn't jump in and kick the living snot out of the scumbags, but yet I'm happier that I managed to break up the fight before some one ended up in hospital. What an interesting weekend.

Anyways here is some cheerier stuff.

Wow, this has been the longest I haven't updated. MMhh many things have happened like Warpcon, which kicked major ass... from the bits that I can remember from it. One thing that I do remember from it was getting the hair cut...... I've got short hair!!! What else has happened, nothing much bar Leprecon , well ok it hasn't happened yet, but I've been running around like a blue arsed fly trying to make sure that everything is going to plan, whilest holding down my job in the videostore. I'm currently trying to find a new job while still working in the videostore. I need a real job! I went down to the bank today to apply for a personal loan for a new pc. I need a new one, my old 166 isn't really handling the things that I want it to do. It's a bit odd because this is the first bank loan that I've ever applied for... am I growing up???

To be continued. Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel.

MMMhh took this test.... and hey guess what? I'm from Dublin! Um.. have updated this for a while again.. and you know what I'm not surprised. Not much has really gone on in the past while, my life has mainly been nothing but just work. I'm utterly shattered at the moment, but I do have Warpcon to look forward to at least. It'll be strange this year, it'll be the first time Vinny has ever been to Warpcon. I just hope he enjoys it as much as I have in the past. Vinny and I have been damn worried about money for Warpcon, but earlier today both himself and I hit our magic amount :). (ya, it's a lamn name, what would you expect from a bunch of stoners :) ).

Anyways I'm off to Warpcon in the morning. Deadly! Going on the 1.20pm train. It's going to rock!! I might write something about my adventures to that 'Completely Different Country'.

Oh yea here are those results..

I haven't bothered updating this in a while, due to one thing work. Thankfully I'll have more time off after Warpcon.Yay! I'm not a fruit and nut cake.... according to the above.

2003-01-09T22:17:00.000Z

MMhh, thursday.... what did I do? Well I managed to miss the Leprecon Meeting and my first IGA Meeting. The IGA one was through work :(, but the Leprecon one was by me not paying attention to the time. D'Oh! Anyways nothing else special, happening... just trying to get things together for Leprecon and Gaelcon for Warpcon. I'm really looking forward to going to Warpcon, it'll be something different this year as Vinny is going to Warpcon aswell... this will be a Warpcon I won't remember :)

2003-01-07T18:38:00.000Z

Ok, I'm back.... despite not having updated for a few days again... but this time I have an excuse... my cat ate my hard disk, I swear... look I've got a note!!!! Nah, I've just started back working in the videostore full time, despite only getting the job back on the 2nd of this month, and not meant to start work until the 9th, I've somehow managed to land myself in work 3 days so far, but then again, that's not a bad thing, in fact it's a good thing. All this means that I've managed to leave my bank balance in a health state for Warpcon, also its also allowed me to talk to my boss and ask for the rota to fit around Warpcon and Leprecon. Strange, that they would go to such lengths to structure the entire timetable to what I want.... groovy :)

Other than working, I've been feeling great.. and I'm not talking about a brief period of nothing going wrong, but rather.. feeling postive about life and stuff. Normally, I'm too busy to notice personal feelings, but recently especially over Christmas I've had time to think, and you know what..... everything is good :

2003-01-03T16:05:00.000Z

Jez... man, I haven't updated this is ages. So what has happened since my last update? Loads. Christmas was cool, I stayed mainly in my parents house, even though it's only down the road... I got pissed pretty much every night. I failed my Fás exam through no fault of my own, one of the sections in the course (roughly 50% of it) wasn't covered properly during our course, I have some pride in the fact that I got the highest fail... seeing that everyone else failed as well. Oh Well.

I've recently decided, actually it was more along the lines of it was decided for me, that I am going to cut my hair, but I'll only cut it Warpcon Charity Auction. Other than that I've had a good Christmas and New Years, oh yea... I've also managed to get my old job back in MovieMaster full time... which is handy for the time being. Anyways I promise I'll try and update it more often... I swear!!

2002-12-19T13:24:00.000Z

Wow... it's amazing, I don't know what happened, but I woke up this morning at 9.30am, which is amazingly early by my standards usually I get out of bed around 6pm. Either way I'm feeling great, my Fás Lecturer phoned me earlier to inform me about my CIW Exam, which I thought he completely forgot about. Anyways he told me that my exam is on Friday morning... out in Bray. Here lies the problem I live in Lucan... Lucan to Bray BAD! I have to be there at 9... fine, grand not a problem bar the fact that I'll be stuck in traffic forever.. not the start I want to my exam. I mean I've done all the example exams, oddly enough I got higher in the example exams than my lecturer, this is not something that instills me with confidence for the rest of the students.. oh well. Another problem with the exam being on so early on Friday is the fact that the Dark Winter Christmas Drinkies is on Thursday night. I'll lay this out in a math equation.

Drinking Thursday Night = Hangover Friday Morning, Hangover Friday Morning + Getting Up Super Early + Traffic + Long Distance AssHaulage = Grumpy/Groggy Aidan = Not Good.

Ah well it's not all that bad, I have managed to get some more work done on Dark Winter, I've also managed to finally pull my head out of my ass and start work on the 2nd Draft of the Jack and Jill Website . I want to do a good job on this site, I think their a fantastic charity and I'm really pleased that Gaelcon have dontated so much money towards this charity. Go have a look at website and find out excatly what they do!

2002-12-17T22:08:00.000Z

Ack, it's 10pm and it's really only the start of my day... yup that's right folks, Aidan's sleeping pattern is screwed. Well what's new in the wonderful world of me, um, I'm currently giving the idea of getting my hair cut some serious thought. What else is there... well I'm currently feeling really good about how Dark Winter is coming along, we've done alot over the weekend, and looking at it we should have it done faster than I initially expected. Oh yea that reminds me, I gotta sort out the Dark Winter Christmas Drinkies night out. For those of you who know about this blog, you're obviously more than welcome to come along, it'll be on Thursday night, we don't have an excat venue as of yet but give me a call if you wanna come along.

Anyways, I have to go back and get some work done on Dark Winter.....

Ps. Howyra Colm.

2002-12-16T08:48:00.000Z

Right, I had posted a blog about the weekend.... but good ole' blogger fubared it. Shaggit. Anyways, I done a whole lot of drinking during the weekend. I went over to my parents place last night for Sunday dinner, which is cool because it's one of the few times in the week that I get to see my family. It's really odd because when I lived at home my relationship with my parents was terrible, mainly because myself and my Dad extremely similar. But it's only recently that I've noticed that myself and my Dad have spent many a long hour over a couple of drinks and having a good conversation. Sure we still argue, but it's at least it's light hearted. I personally feel really good about this.. because I was terribly frightened that something might have happened before I got to become friends with my Dad. Life it's odd.

2002-12-12T15:53:00.000Z

Good morning folks, yea ok it's about 3.40pm at the moment, but I swear I was awake at 1pm, which is quiet a feat for me. I mean, I went to sleep at 8am and got up at 1pm, which is really odd, I normally die when I sleep. Oh well, I'm actually surprised as well, I'm actually not knackered, I'm currently wide away and full of energy. The reason why I went to bed at 8am this morning, was because I was working on a short story for Dark Winter. I'm actually really pleased about how it's going, ok the character is extremely similiar to me but feck it. The start is very slow, but it'll kick into full swing very quickly. Usually, in Dark Winter characters get killed off quiet fast, but I don't really know why, but I think I'm actually going to keep this character alive. Maybe it's just that I can relate to the character, but I really like him.

Anyways, less of my writing, I've got horrid work tonight. Granded, it's money, I just hope to god that I'm not on with Leo, sure he's a nice bloke, but he's a 75 Watt blub in a 100 Watt Pack, if you catch my drift. I've to also work on New Year's Eve as well, but thankfully only until 10pm which means I can still get to a party and have a drink before midnight. That plan sounds fine in theory, but in pratice it could go horribly wrong. Also one thing that I've noticed about this year, is the lack of New Year's Parties going on.. or maybe people just don't like me any more. I mean last year when I was living with a few friends in Ballinteer, we had a MAJOR party with about 120 odd people there. Oh well, I guess no matter what happens this year, it'll probably be an anti-climax in comparsion. Anyway... I gotta go and make sure I've got something clean to wear for work.. so later.

2002-12-11T21:06:00.000Z

Well, here I am again to update this. Well what did I do since the last time I posted to this, um... well I didn't sleep. I tried to sleep, but to no avail, so I smsed Vinny and asked if he wanted to arse about in town. So Vinny knocked on over, waking Barry as well. So Vinny, Barry and myself all decided to head into town. While on the Bus we called Phil, who we ended up meeting up with later on. So the 3 of us fecked about town getting random bits and bobs. We bought tickets for DeathWatch, but before that we met up with Phil. So all four of us went and watched it. Mmmhh DeathWatch, not what I expected. I'm not going to spoil it for any one, but it just reminded me of a Call of Cthulhu scenario.

Anyway... we all legged it out of the cinema.. and had a whiz and a smoke, and we were reliefed. Now, remember kids, I was wake for 24 hours at this point... brain go mish now... Anyways, we ambled over to Cafe Mocka. Sat and had a cup of coffee, Phil legged it off to some where...... as Phil does. Vinny, Barry and myself all headed home... and sat up until 3 in the morning just talking about shite.... exciting!!! So, what did I manage to get done in 33 hours of being awake? I started a blogger, and went into town.. most people get that done in a couple of hours.... but not me. :) Oh well. And what am I going to do today? Nothing, I woke up at 5pm. Now there's a healthy sleeping pattern. heh

2002-12-10T03:52:00.000Z

Right, here's a second update.... don't count yourselves so lucky :). I've fiddled about with the layout a bit.. I think it looks a lot prettier than most of the other blog templates out there. Oh if anyone knows how to get the comments thing working, could they mail me off list?

I've noticed, something recently, I get really annoyed with people very easily, but then again there's usually a good reason. I have a few examples of it, but here's one. You're working happily on your machine, normally writing or doing some design work, and someone comes into your room, and stands besides you and keeps talking and talking. Now the thing your working on is something that might interest that person standing next to you, they keep talking to you about it...and you can't get back to what you were once doing. And then they ask..."So have you finished it yet?". ARRRGGHHH!!! How are you meant to get the work done if the person who probably wants it more than you stands there and talks to you.

I mean, yea, sure I love people talking to me when I'm sitting on the net working on stuff, but I mean, I do like to get some work done. Maybe I'm just bitching, but for godsake...

Actually I was thinking about the whole blog idea there earlier.. and I came across an idea. People are so worried about "Big Brother" and all these 'Government' Agenices spying on people... but yet, if it looks cool, and if there's a few people doing it... people will reveal their most inner details to everybody. I mean look at this blog, I've only posted 2 things on it... but yet you already know potentially a few things about me. 1) I like to write 2) I like to design 3) I play about with HTML and other web stuffs 4)I get easily annoyed 5)I love conventions...etc. But think about that, if you keep updating them and what not, how much information can people find out about you? I'm not a paranoid person, infact, I'd love to think what "Big Brother" would have to say about me. I couldn't careless, but for anybody who's paranoid don't start a blog... :)

2002-12-10T00:53:00.000Z

Right, well seeing that you're all here now.. I shall begin my ramblings. I don't promise this blog to be full of humour... and even decent grammar or spelling, but oh well. I actually really don't have a reason to start this blog, well actually I kinda do. Here's the current excuse, if I feel that I need to write this blog, and keep it updated, it might... actually might get me thinking about writing more often. Sure I write for conventions and what not, but I tend to only do so when under pressure and up against time. I guess I thrive on it...which would explain a whole lot. If any of you know me, and have seen me at cons, you all know how dead... I look. So hence this blog was born, maybe, just maybe it might get me into a routine of sitting down and getting some work done. But then again, I might be getting myself into a catch 22 situation... I might spend all my time writing (when I feel like it) on this and never getting any of my con games done, but then again, I might spend all my time writing (when I feel like it) on con games, and never bothering to update this.

Mmmhhh. I was looking at the templates that they have for the blogger... man they are UGLY!!! Sure some of them have nice features, but I mean, were they designed by a colour-blind person suffering from tunnel vision? (*Disclaimer* The views expressed in this blog aren't necessarily the views of the blog writer.) I guess I shouldn't gripe about them, I've done some, and still do, some terrible design stuffs.

I'm actually finding this whole thing very weird, I've never had a diary before, but yet, I'm willing to put inner feelings and thoughts on line for the great world to see..... mmhh odd. Another thing, which I find odd about this whole thing, is that I'm potentially more willing to explain myself to my friends over this rather than try and explain things to them in person. I guess it's a character flaw, but hell that's me :)

I might update this later on in the night...... I dunno... I might be writing, I've had an idea for a story tonight for Dark Winter Projects. For those of you who are in the know about Dark Winter Projects, you know what I'm rambling about... but for those of you who don't know.... I guess you'll have to wait until we pull our collective fingers out of our collective colon. (Messy) :)
