Italy
I've been here a few days now, well two days anyway. We're staying in this little lakeside village called Lierna, my dad's friend has a place here, she's away for the summer and is letting us stay. I've never actually met her but she seems really cool judging from her house. She has a little statue of a Hungarian Horntail (the dragon Harry Potter faces in the Goblet of Fire). Her place is awesome, bar the giant spiders that occasionally crawl over you in your sleep. It's got a magnificent view, of which I'll include a picture at the bottom. The only problem with this place is that it's about halfway up a very steep mountain. It's quite a trek to get up here but at least I'm probably not going to get fat on this holiday, no matter how much nice Italian food I eat. It's kinda sad though cos the day I come back Weronika's cousin arrives meaning I'm not going to see Weronika until she comes back from Poland, a few days before my birthday (late August). It's probably the longest time we've been apart since we became such close friends and it's a shame but what can you do, I'm sure we'll manage to survive. Sure I have people to hang out with in Ireland and I'm going to Finland for a few weeks too (yay). I'm going to Milan later today which I'm looking forward to, we're meeting one of my dad's friends there.

The view from the balcony, very picturesque. Like something you would see on a post card, not in real life.

Flight
I’m sitting on a
Boeing 737 on my way to Bergamo airport. I’m going to Italy for a week, my
dad’s going to stay for a month but is planning to spend much of his time
working, now that to me doesn’t seem to make sense, who decides to go to a nice
holiday location and instead of spending their time there taking in the sun and
relaxing before returning to wet and miserable Ireland, spending that time
cooped up inside with a pile of papers and a laptop. I do understand the idea
of trying to get away from people and distractions for a while but he’s going
to a beach and one of his friends doesn’t live far away from where we’re going,
in Milan. It just doesn’t seem logical, but hey, I’m not complaining I get a
holiday to Italy out of it. We’re flying in on Ryanair but I can’t on my way
back because I’m still, just, under 16. This makes me ridiculously happy
because I hate Ryanair with all my heart, almost all other airlines, at least
pretend to, care. I could give you a never ending list of reasons on why I hate
Ryanair but they’re not worth my time. I quite enjoy flying but not with
Ryanair. I love Scandinavian Airlines and no, it’s not just because I’m from
Scandanavia, it’s because they’re pleasant to fly with, no stress really and
when we were stranded because of snow a few years ago they sent us to a 4 or 5
star hotel until we could fly again. SAS are more expensive but I think it’s
worth it. We’ll see what I think when the moneys coming out of my own pocket
but at the moment that’s my opinion. I’m going to head now and read a book or
something, the laptop is about to die. I’m not sure when I’m going to have
internet access so it might take a few days to post this.

Break up
So on Friday the 21st of June at 16:08 my kind of (kind of because we were never properly together) boyfriend broke up with me. His name is Jack and to be honest, he is amazing. I'm not exactly sure what we were but it was good (at least in my opinion).
He broke up with me over Facebook, which even though is thought of as the asshole way to do it, I didn't mind. In fact it was great, I won't get into why but it was. His reason for it was that the emotions between us weren't as strong as they used to be and that's a legitimate reason. He did it nicely and I guess you could say that he did everything right.
I on the other hand probably didn't. Of course, me being me, I over reacted, causing me to be quite harsh (which I regret). I think I was the harshest when he said sorry. Even though I still think he had no reason to apologise, I could have put it in a nicer way than I did.
My reaction to the whole thing still confuses me. For like the first five minutes I was angry, sad and, even though I hate to admit it, I cried. However, after the first five minutes or so, I calmed down and for some reason (still unknown to me) I was happy. I loved him (and still do) but I didn't take it as badly as I thought I would and I'm not sure whether that's a good thing. To be honest, I can find way more good things about the whole thing than bad things. We agreed to stay friends which I hope will work.
Now some of the reactions of people I told were pretty funny. My cousin went on a big rant saying he is stupid and an asshole. I had to stop her because it's totally not true. After disagreeing with her, telling her how amazing he is and that I'm not mad at him, she started a new rant. She was saying that I think too highly of people, that I'm too mature and that I should be mad. I found it quite funny and ended up laughing at what she said. While the majority of my guy friends talked about ways to kill him and offered to beat him up. I didn't take them up on that offer and don't plan on doing so.
All in all, I think I took the whole thing better than most of my friends, which is quite funny. I'm not sure why I took it as well as I did, but oh well.

Sadness
Hello munchkins, I just wanted to share my sadness with you. Ruska went to Italy today, leaving me Ruska-less for a week. I'm going to be all lonely now without her (we can't last a day without each other). Usually we'd be talking by now but now I have no one to talk to, so now I'm quite bored. Well that's about it, off to find entertainment I go.

My Change
I wanted to take a moment to talk about something serious-ish. Being a teenager I change quite a lot and I'm still developing my opinions and stuff like that. I've gone through different types of changes, some small and some big. Some of my changes occurred through phases.
Some of my changes were in music taste and "musicians". For example, One Direction. I used to, like I did for many others, despise them and wish them death. Now, I don't hate them because I don't actually know them. Sure I don't like the music they play and I don't listen to them but if someone likes them, I'm ok with that. Although, my hate for crazed fan girls remains. I don't have anything against the pop stars but some of their fan girls really get on my nerves. That's one example of a small change.
A big change would be that I've matured quite clearly if you compare me from two years ago and present day me. I'm actually capable of talking about serious topics. As well as that, I think I've matured when it comes to relationships with people and my attitude towards things. Sure I might over react and get angry or something right after something serious happens but don't we all have those moments. Anyway, nowadays I can control it more and those moments don't last long. I'd say I have a pretty mature attitude towards most things too. I'm not that stupid, immature girl I used to be and I'm proud of that.
I also experience phases. One of my biggest and longest ones was my 'tough' phase. This phase helped me interact with guys and I was pretty much thought of as one of them. During this phase I was a tomboy and enjoyed the occasional small fight or arm wrestling match. I never wore dresses or skirts and despised the colour pink. A big part of this phase was not showing emotions. I would only ever look happy, I wouldn't show sadness or pain because I just thought of it as a weakness. I never hugged people and was convinced love doesn't exist. Another thing was that I refused to cry, even when I was alone.
It's funny how now I'm almost the exact opposite. I love wearing dresses, I don't fight or arm wrestle anymore (although that's probably because I'd suck at it now) I show emotions and tend to over exaggerate them, although I still keep some feelings to myself, but when I'm with friends I usually don't hide my emotions. I love hugging people and do it every chance I get. I've changed my mind about love and think it exists, I admit to loving quite a few people myself. Finally, while I still avoid crying, I don't stop myself from doing it. I find that I tend to tear up easily during movies nowadays, which is quite annoying. When I do cry though, I do it when I'm alone or occasionally with Ruska there.
I won't continue on because it would take too long, but I just want to say that I'm happy with the way I've changed.

Sleepver part II
So the sleepover on Wednesday went well. Pineapple's dog, Barley, is amazing, we got pizza, we watched movies, played truth or dare and just talked.
At one stage I was told to stop talking until the pizza came, so me being me I didn't talk at all and continued not to talk even when I could. Of course this didn't go to well as the girls just had to make me talk. At one stage we were kind of fighting, three of them against me and I was still winning. Eventually I talked though and everything was fine from then.
We watched two movies, Back to the Future and Mean Girls, neither of which I've ever seen before. Ruska forced us to watch Back to the Future because both Pineapple and I have haven't seen it and Pineapple wanted me to watch Mean girls because I haven't seen that either. Surprisingly enough, Mean Girls caused us to have a very serious conversation. Both movies were good and we got popcorn so I was happy.
Truth or dare was what I wanted to do. I always want to play but the girls always say it's a game for sleepovers after midnight, so after midnight we played truth or dare. Us being us, we mostly did truths but they were fun to do. However there was also the occasional dare. The one that will stay in my memory is me having to flirt with a chair. I have never been so shy in my life, I literally couldn't even look at the chair, I eventually did it even though it was done really badly.
We eventually fell asleep at 6 am. Pineapple and I on the couch in a very comfortable position and Ruska half on the mattress, half on the floor, in a position that looked really painful. Ruska fell asleep first!!!
It was a really fun night and a great way to celebrate the end of the exams, I'd love to do it again.

My Exams Are Over!!! (And Other Stuff That's Going On)
So on Wednesday I had my final exam, it was in music and was easy enough. I'm not worried about my results, even though I didn't study I'm sure I passed everything and probably about half of them with an honours grade. I don't really care how I did, it's only the Junior Cert which is completely irrelevant to anything, unless I want to go to college in the UK which I don't. We had a sleepover in celebration of the end of the exams, as you know if you read Weronika's most recent post (and managed to understand what she was saying with all of her fruity nicknames). That was fun, I got them to watch Back to the Future, which neither Weronika or Alex had seen before. We also forced Weronika to watch Mean Girls for the first time. We had a great time, well I did anyway, I dunno about the others.
I'm going to Italy next Tuesday and probably won't see Weronika until she comes back from Poland in August. It's quite sad, I'm not sure what I'm going to do without Weronika almost always here but we do have Skype. I'm going to miss her but I've got a busy summer up ahead, well fairly busy anyway so it'll fly by. My hand is almost better so I can type properly again.
I really don't know what else to say so I'm going to stop now...
