I'm a 24 year old girl, working in the meeja and generally enjoying life. I love t'interweb and reading other blogs and most of all - sharing the love. This blog is cheesy peas :D
In a moment of pure madness (and mainly because I was literally dragged along) I started salsa lessons last night. I had very verrrrry low expectations, mainly because as much as I like to think I can dance (after a g&t or twelve) I really can’t. Ok, I can shake my hips to the beat, but moving feet and arms - together - why that’s just impossible!
However, after the bubbly instructor taught us the most basic of steps, I felt that I was actually catching on a bit and ‘getting into the groove’ as they say. In fact, halfway through the class, I was kicking ass. Literally. I actually physically connected my foot, albeit very briefly, with the rear end of the kindly middle aged lady in front of me. I have no idea how, I wasn’t even drinking.
She was very nice about it however and put it down to my complete lack of balance and rhythm. I will be moving to the other side of the class next week out of politeness though.
It was great fun in the end, and hopefully will give me the motivation to lose a pound or two. And hey, at least I didn’t fall!
I keep seeing the ad for ‘RudeTube’, a programme due to air tonight on E4 about various (in)famous videos on the internet, but hadn’t got a clue what the end clip was until I googled ‘weightless dog’ and found this:
The poor ould mutt probably didn’t have a clue what was happening to him! Bless

Yesterday whilst dining in the canteen in work, somebody sent me a video through Bluetooth. This random person came up on my phone as Brian Ormond but surprisingly enough (not), when I looked around there was no Brian Ormond in sight. Despite this, I pressed accept on my phone just for the craic. The video was called ‘exercise!’ so I thought someone might be trying to motivate me and pushed my chicken and roast spuds across the table and pressed play.
Could whoever sent me that video could please send me the ‘exercise’ machine too please? I’ll be dropping the pounds no bother.
Oh the film isn’t bad either! I probably would have loved it only I watched it the same day I finally saw Once for the first time and fell head over heels in love with it, and everything else just seems mundane in comparison.
I love how most comments in YouTube videos turn into virtual scraps - with this video it’s over the supposed death of the puppy. My guess is that the owners of the animals wouldn’t put the video up on YouTube with the tagline: ‘real cute :]’ if the puppy had snuffed it. That’s presuming the video uploader is the pet owner of course.
