Chutney. Such a delicious and delightful foodstuff!
Do you call it a food actually? Wait, I don’t care, it’s amazing and that’s all I need to know. Like most hip and happening young people, I’m absolutely addicted to it. There aren’t enough “m”s out there to describe just how mmmmmmmmmmm it actually is. Over Christmas a jar of apricot and fig chutney was purchased, and I’ve now taken to eating it with everything- everything. My life was but a mere shadow of itself before I discovered this delightful preserve. A compliment to all of your foodular needs, I promise you this.
Anyway, I’ve been too busy smearing myself in chutney to post recently. Or else I was just lazy or something, but fear not my admiring readers- it won’t happen again. (Déjà vu to a former post where I denied being unreliable, anyone?)
So yeah, 2008’s over, in case you hadn’t all noticed. Where it went I’ve no idea, it passed by in a bit of a Leaving Cert related blur to be honest. So Happy New Year all, let the drudgery of oh-nine begin. I’ve a feeling it’s going to be a pretty horrible year and I’m not going to deny this or make it less astoundingly blunt. I’m a pessimistic, alright? I won’t apologise- I’m sorry, but I’m just not the apologetic type. (Anyone?)
I predicted 2008 was going to be great, but that kind of backfired. Probably best not to listen to anything I say in fairness. Why are you even reading my blog? I’ll infect you with my whinging ways, get out.
Oh, actually, just while I’m still citing 2008 I guess I better let people know how I fared in my Xmas tests? Not too bad, I got 550 points. Ahem. I got 550 in my Leaving Cert last year. Ergo, I have not improved whatsoever. You’d think this would dishearten me, but I can only give you a big “meh” on the subject.
In other news, I’m 18 on Thursday! Please please, not all at once on the well wishing front.
I’m very much so looking forward to it! I truly am young, or so it would seem, as nobody will believe I’m only going to be 18 next week. Maybe it’s just as well I’m repeating? <Insert more things here to make myself feel better about this wretched situation>
So anyway, finally the day has (almost) come where I’m an adult! I’m really looking forward to going into a shop on Thursday afternoon and just doing it- buying a lotto ticket. Not only that, oh no, I’m going to go all out- Xtra Vision, here I come! Finally, I can get the 18s movies without parental consent! Woooohoooo! I’m trying to think if there’s anything else 18 year olds can do, legally, that 17 year olds can’t? I’m not sure, my mind seems to have gone blank (Maths paper 2 flashbacks, agh!). Something to do with .. oh yes! Alcohol! I didn’t exactly live an alcohol free existence until this moment in time, so I’m actually pretty much bored of going out. Before I’m 18. A rebellious youth, that’s me. Nonetheless, what comes before Part B? Part A, Ohhh yeah! (Partay.. get it? Anyone? Oh, forget it..)
So yeah, with all that legal gambling and film-watching, it sure doesn’t look like I’ll be doing much study this weekend! I might try to do a little more than I did over Christmas (0 hours and 0 minutes in total) and last weekend (see previous), but this is doubtful.
I’m pretty good at taking breaks and yet not falling behind in classes. It’s something to do with my raw charm and epic brilliance, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned previously.
Anyway, enough about me, I have a geography project to write up.
I’m sincerely sorry for the rushed nature of this blog, I am, but I’ve a lot on my plate tonight, aside from chutney. I’ll be back soon with musings which are somewhat more LC-related, fear not!
You know, if you ahd just taken the time to study, rahter than write this Im sure youd be doing much better in school. I figured that your new years would be remembered about as well as mine was, and Im guessing I was right there by the sounds of things. but still…. Chutney?
truy a real food
VEGGIEMITE (ask barrick)
By far the best of all of the blogs, keep it up. And, well, happy early birthday!:)
Raw charm, yes. As for epic brilliance… 😛
I’ll be 18 in July. Of 2010…
…Chutney?
Happy Birthday! Hope it’s filled with chutney and gloriously legal DVD’s 🙂
Donal: Shut up and go study some Irish, you waster. :p
Veggiemite? WTF is that? Suitable for vegetarians? Ha, I’ll randomly go up and ask him his opinion on it so. Think I’ll stick with the chutney though tbh, mmmm.
JammyD: Thanks indeed! Look at you, grooming my ego for me… as you can tell from my complete lack of self- complimenting, I need a boost every now and again. it’s perfect! 😀
Eamonn: Ah, the smell of youth off of you! It’s not that far off really though. Are you in 6th year, yeah? I’ve a friend who did his LC at 16, no harm, no harm!
Oh, it’s fine, we both know the epic brilliance is blindingly apparent, you can try to deny it all you want :p
Grace: Thanks indeed! I better go buy a new jar, nothing like a few spoons of chutney to compliment a graphic film, with extra violence.
Jennie, a good chutney goes down well with a nice indian meal with the lads. Chutney with poppadums. Things that make you go mmmmm…… d)
Happy birthday anyway. Dont go craaaaaaazy.
Maybe, just maybe, some day, chutney may replace jam as a condiment for cheese on brown bread.
Also, I have thought another activity for you now that you are of age, going into Xtra-Vision and buying 18s games for 12 year olds. Think of the happiness you could bring….
And, finally I concur with JammyD, but then again, bias can be taken for granted.
😀
James: Nyom… tbh it goes with absloutely everything. It’s even nice on toast! Ahem, i mean, “yock”.
Helena: I dunno, the jam and cheese sandwich thing is quite irreplaceable. Don’t forget the lashings of real Irish butter and the side of Actimel drinks.
And the xtra vision thing happened one time, ok? 😛
