Tequila & Potential Pets

Two days ago, I turned the ripe ol' age of 21. TWENTY-FRIKIN-ONE! Might as well get the hip replacement and zimmer frame ordered now... Anyway, my fellow Irish friends and me went into the Grainne Uaile pub last night for a few bevvys. I can still taste the tequila now. So needless to say, I got fairly twatted last night and am feeling the aftermath today. Plus my flatmate has gone to work so I'm hungover AND I'm bored. Somehow today, in this boring boringness of boredom, I've not only managed to set up a blog, but I've also decided that:

A) Old English Sheepdog puppies are too expensive (damn it)
B) Mum won't let me have a chinchilla, degu, bird, hippo, lizard, or any other kind of animal I suggest
3) I'm going to set up a salt water fish tank in my room (I could tell mum it's for research                                    purposes...right?)


So if any of you have experience or advice with setting up a saltwater aquarium, or want to give me an Old English Sheepdog puppy, I'd reallllly appreciate some replies and comments below!
I decided on an aquarium rather than anything else because last year we moved houses (my mum and her boyfriend moved got a house together that's bigger), and now I'm pretty far from the sea. This makes me sad. Soooo by having some marine life boppin' around in my room, I figured it would make up for the lack of ocean in the Welsh valleys.

...wait, did I just say "boppin' around"? That's definitely not a scientific word, and I've never seen a fish bop.

Anyway, I've been doing a bit of research into keeping marine fish and holy crapola, the amount of money it costs! I'll have to do some saving up. But it would be reallllly cool to have a fish tank in my room (not that there's any space for one to go).

The moral of this blog is that dogs are expensive and fish are cool. And Tequila is gross.

My First Blog...N'awwww

So I decided it'd be a cool idea to start a blog.
I have no idea what made me think 'ah yes, a blog will be a brilliant thing to do', but it doesn't matter, I'm in too deep now!

So I'm currently in Ireland (the Republic of), been here for 7 weeks now. I'm going home on the 22nd back to lovely Walesss, but I'll miss Ireland so much, and all the friends I've made!

"But Hannah, why are you in Ireland?" I hear you ask. WELL, you see, I just finished university doing Marine Biology so I applied for an 8 week placement over here and managed to get it. Check it out, these people are awesome: Marine Institute.

Anyway, enough about me! I just want people who are still reading this to know a bit about what sorts of things I'll be including in my blogs. They'll basically be things that I like, so you can expect topics like:

  • Baking/cooking (and yes, that means yummy recipes too!)
  • Arty/Make cool stuff
  • Random events that happen to me (actual stuff worth reading though, I'm not going to bore you)
And then once I get the hang of this blogging malarkey and if I manage to get some regular readers then I could ask you guys what topics I should talk about.

Cheers!
