Writing.

People in Uni seem to enjoy my writing! I'm super happy about that. I've read out a few pieces and I got great feedback on each. I'm really enjoying this. It's making me want to write loads more.
Today I wrote a piece in third person; the first time I've tried it. It was based on me and my ex-girlfriend having lunch in the Louvre in Paris, but I changed it around a bit. The excercise was we had to describe two people sitting down to eat, and try to make it clear about where they were eating without directly saying where it was (by describing architecture, decor blah blah). I'm not sure I've done that but I liked what I wrote. Sure I may aswell put it up here:

Having finally gotten tired of just looking at things, they decided to find somewhere to eat. There was a small little place that was just upstairs from the entrance hall, and it seemed adequate enough to kill their hunger. She grabbed a little metal table that may have been better suited outside a pub, and not in a big cultural building. He joined the queue, looking at the menu above the counter. 'Nothing special' he thought, 'although I wouldn't mind one of those Belgian Waffles'. He returned to her with the food on a tray, and she didn't seem impressed with choice. Pre-packed sandwich's, bottles of Pepsi and two big, Belgian Waffles, covered in chocolate sauce.
"You call that lunch?" she nagged.
"Oh, come on. This is the most impressive sight I've seen today". He began cutting into the waffle.
"You're not even going to have your sandwich first?".
He stared at her, dropped the knife and fork, and reluctantly opened the sandwich.
"I don't understand this place." he said, "You'd think that for somewhere that houses so-called 'fine' art, they'd sell 'fine' food. I was hoping there'd be a Starbucks."
"There is a Starbucks," she told him, "I just didn't want to tell you."
His eyes widened at her. He put the sandwich down and started again with the Belgian Waffle.

I like it. I'm pretty happy with it, like. It may not be great but for the first third person piece I've done, I think it's alright.


I'm going back to Dublin on Monday for the week. I think I'm staying in my Aunt's house, because I don't want to stay in Bayside. It's such a depressing house. Fuck that.
Lucy is going to be in Dublin on Wednesday. That's going to be amazing fun. I can't wait for my friends to meet her, and just hang out like. It'll be class showing her my favourite spots.
Then I'll be going to the Greystones gig on the 9th. I'm super excited for that, I haven't been to a gig in ages!

I got my Wii back. So happy. I can't find Mario Kart though. So pissed. Gah.

See yis.
