Hi Clare, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

3C, thats...interesting? I'm tryin to work it out, dunno tho, has your second name got 2 cC's in it? Like C for Clare then, two more C's in your second name, that'd be 3C. Is that why ur called 3C?
Welocome to HoP, i see u have an alphanumerical name also. Big up!

faithinfire, I also have a bad relationship with any form of alcohol....I'm like...allergic or something, so I get headaches whenever I drink it.(no its not a hangover, it happens while i'm drinking it!)
If my nick name was l337, then that would translate to EC...t04201901 is closest, but its not my second name that has 2 C's in it. It's kinda complicated. Blame the person who gave it to me ^_^
I feel so welcome! and yes I would like some cake

hey whats up, just checked out your thread there, microwaving cake is deadly, but even better is putting a muffing and ice-cream in a bowl and microwaving the lot together, meltylicious!!! you should def-o-nately go to the dublin convention, it should be fun.
hopefully i'll see you at a juggling society meeting at some stage, i go to DIT and to IADT. and trinity is always good too, you should check them out.

Oh chocolate chip muffin nuked (nuking stuff is what we call microwaving in my house) is amazing! all the choc chips melt and with ice cream or cream mmmm so tasty!
Hmm I might find my way to IADT at some stage, it's very close to where I live, So i could just walk there. Is any spinning/juggling expirence required? cos I have next to none

all you gotta do is turn up, im usualy in the chaple (the students union area) or up in the animation studio during that time, i dont do animation, but its a fun place to hang out. if you didnt see the listings, it is between kind of 5 till 9. but basicly whenever i turn up till whenever they ask us to leave.
i will gladly teach anybody willing to learn.

i know the feeling, i went for a more laid back approach to the leaving cert, so far as not really doing anything for it, so i didnt get the stress. then again i was in newpark, they didnt force me to work so i made the choice not to.
its on tuesdays. and is a good laugh. how far away from the college are you? where you doing the leaving cert?

Oh my school is kinda far away from my home, i'm roughly....hmm 20-30 mins walk from the college? and on tuesdays i'd get home by about 4.15 or 4.30 ....it's cutting it kinda tight i guess
Thought wednesdays are short for me, so i have less homework to do for the next morning.
the tough part is getting home on time.
Does it run during the summer too? or is it just a school/college time thing?

im afraid it only runs during term time. but there is the trinity one that runs during the summer which is great fun, i loved going to that over the summer. if you wanna come it runs till 9, and doesnt matter what time you turn up at. and i could learn you how to unicycle, that way you could get home quicker. or you could cycle or something.
what classes are you doing for the leaving cert? i could try and help you with homework or sumthing during the jugglig time and then you wouldnt have to think about it.

if you swap art with geography and add german, you have exactly what i did for mine. balance can be learned, just gotta practice at it.
what you looking to do after the lc?

GERMAN! bah, that's the one I forgot!
Funnily enough, I originally wanted to go to IADT, but I couldn't decide what aspect of Art I wanted to do. Then I thought, due to my love of Chemistry and fire, I'd like to be a Pyrotechnitian (it's kinda artsy too....tecnically), So I think I'll do Chemistry in UCD through General Science.
What a complicated answer to such a simple question...

ah now, its a very complicated question, its efectively asking what you wanna spend the rest of your life doing, and thats a tough old question.
its funny cause for about 3years i wanted to do either engineering or applied physics but then i didnt do any work for the leaving cert and got into psychology and im loving it. its wierd how things work out, but its even funnier cause i dont wanna be a psychologist....i am such a waister!!

its the same with all psychologists, its said that you have to be a bit of a nut to be able to understand other people properly, you gotta know what theyr going through. a few of my friends in college want to do their thesis on me cause they think im beyond repair..HA!
maybe psychology could be a good choice for you. its all just good learning though, you get to know yourself a lot better and understand why you are how you are.
