Hello Peeps,

I'm preparing for my final year and i would like to ask a small favour of you all:

For my degree project, i plan to design a whole cook book of good, easy recipes. Things that can be done by amateurs and maybe a few "difficult" recipes too. So i was wondering if any of you would like to pass on your favourite recipes? They may be slightly altered by me when i try them out but each would be acredited to whoever gave it to me. These recipes can be any cuisine; smoothies, cocktails, salads, baked goods and of course savoury foods too.

I'd appreciate anything you send so thanks guys! you can leave it here or in a note.

Smiles to all,
Fouz

I'm beginning to like tomatoes this week. Although, i must say, i'm still cautious of them and their acidic juices. Tomatoes once irritated my skin as a child..it was not pleasant!

Anyway...I'm super bored.. and i'm getting over being pissed off at half my family. They're so fuckin annoying sometimes... but onto more important things:
I went camping in Castlegregory, Kerry last week with a bunch of friends. It was pretty cool I got to fly one of those huge kites for the first time ever! Turns out i'm not too bad at it. I also got to see an ocean for the first time ever! It looked exactly like the sea. haha.. oh and i ate off a campfire for the first time too! Lots of fun firsts last week. YAY! But yes, i'm so easily amused/fascinated...but i like to appreciate the small things. They can be so exciting!

Oh so i started working at the special needs school last monday. It's exhausting but it's good fun! The kids are hilarious (if they're in good moods). So I'm enjoying it plus it makes the days go faster so yay! Only 11 more sleeps until Barcelona!! DOUBLE YAY!! I really cant wait... we've decided we'll go to the beach one or two days, go to the zoo, the aquariam, portaventura park, las rambas and some museums if we've time. I've never been to an adventure park or an aquarium so i'm super excited! I'M GONNA GO ON ALL THE RIDES!! YEAH!!

Oh man.. all that excitement has made me tired... Oh i'm going to watch Bruno tomorrow with Seany. We're gonna try a new thing and bring a few cans of cider in with us. Should be fun Plus my new discovery of how yum pear cider is has made me happy. All i need is 3 cans and i'm goofy drunk. haha

ah i feel good today!

Hello peeps,

Come join me as i sip on my peppermint tea!

I think i've gotten too used to blabbing to Sean every night. He went off to Germany today for the Hurricane festival and i really just wanna blab about my day and summer plans... i miss him already he'll be gone for his birthday too

So.. guess what? i'm actualy going through with my fitness plan! I've been working out almost every day (doing speed cycling on the electric bike as well as wii fit and yoga). My bum feels firmer after just one week ah... I went jogging for the first time a few days ago too but my foot started aching so i wont be doing that again until i've the right shoes.

Oh yeah, turns out i may very well have some sort of artheritis. I've been complaining to my mum about my joints for the past year (at least) and she finally copped on that i might have it so she has me on medication for the next week to bring down the inflamation (she's a doc). Sucks ass though because it can get very very numb and painful and that worries me since my hands are my tools of the trade.

I want to tell the whole world how much i love Sean. I wish i could. I'm bursting with emotion for him. It's not just some stupid youthful thing that'll pass with time; it's so genuine and full and it is something that's never gonna fade away no matter what. I love him to the point where i cant see a happy future without him. He makes me feel so carefree and takes away all the worries i carry with the simplest gestures or words... Even when we fight it passes within minutes and we're back to joking around and being affectionate. He is the most open, childish, mischievous, understanding, caring, funny and fun person i have ever had the privilege of knowing. He fills me with joy. He makes me feel beautiful and amazing just as i am. He gives me dreams and adventures. He is my best friend and i cant appreciate him enough for loving me like he does. He's everything i've ever fallen in love with and he is everything that is positive. He makes me be myself and never once feel embarrassed for it.. i could never have enough of his sunshine.

God i love him. I really do.

That was a reference to the pixies... I got a broken foot though, not face. My first bone injury EVER and i didnt even earn it. I just walked in bad shoes it seems... it's funny though coz i didnt really know for over a week until friday when i figured the pain is not a normal foot pain.

Soooo.. college ended on friday! Perfect timing for an injury I suppose.. i'm so glad i'm done although i will miss my classmates. they're good people.. that was one hell of a year. I disliked my tutor for he is an ASS. Nice guy but he should not be teaching with a high and mighty ego like that... anyway. I've a job under my wing now. I'm making an identity for a new small company. It has to be for country folk though so i was told to dumb down my approach. No joke. I really dont know how to do that so it's going to be weird..

So I'm jobless other than that. I hope to be spending the summer preparing my portfolio and researching for my thesis. I'm actually looking forward to it though.

I am sick! I've a cold that keeps making me reeeeally lightheaded and drowsy so i've to stay seated. I wouldnt mind it so much but i'm trying to achieve a six pack within the next 10days and it just wont happen at this rate! haha.. Oh well. At least i dont have the mumps like some people around here.

Other than that...I must make another list of things to do. I gotta spring clean my room -there's way too much crap in here that i THINK i'll need really but i never will really. like boxes. I have sooo many pretty boxes! I gave away 4 of them last week and it was almost painful to do.. Second thing on my list (which should be the first thing really) is to put together my portfolio for my end of year assessment thing. BLEH!! Dont wanna do it but i should since rag week will bring me down one week's worth of work. It's gonna be worth it though -CANT WAIT FOR BOUNCY CASTLES!! Also, im going to Rotterdam in 10days. Woot!!

hmm...there was much more to the list than i can remember now... im sooo drowsy. i'm gonna read this tomorrow and think "fouz, you're a dope."... ooh! ooh!! i'm going to Offaly tomorrow to see Sean and his family! YAY!! i'm gonna make myself get better just for that. heh.

ok ok...i'm a dope.

one more thing though.. i gotsa lovely gift today yessum i did! Catherine surprised me with a Holga 120mm camera as my 21st gift. WOOT!!!! it says here that it's a toy camera and they're right in a way coz i'm gonna have so much fun playing with it! haha..

woot wooooot!! thats the sound of the happy train!
