Another Week Of Exciting Adventures!

Hey Everyone!

It's the end of another week! To be honest, this week absolutely flew by! One minute it was the Bank Holiday Monday, now it's Saturday. I guess time flies when you're having fun (and working) Just to let you all know, I only have TWO weeks of my summer job, then I'm back in school. It's scary how quickly my time was up there.

So, I've started to record/film a video every week which you can see here! My channel is called AwkwardAveen and I post videos about my week & life in general, it's the same as my blog but you have the opportunity to hear my voice, not just see words on a screen. I hope doing this will bring more life to my blog and more of an opportunity to connect to all of you. I'd love to know more bloggers.

LINK TO MY YOUTUBE VIDEO AAH!

On Friday night I took part in a teenage bloggers chat organised by Gaby, Jane and my friend Grace! It was a great success, we discussed the pro's and cons of being a teenage blogger and I met/tweeted some lovely fellow bloggers! It was a good way to unite all the Irish & UK bloggers. So a HUGE thank you to all you brilliant people.

As I've been feeling a little artistic (something which never happens) I also re-designed the cork board in my room, added some new photos and re-arranged the entire thing. I really like what I did with it, it describes my personality very well, obsessed with quotes, London, books, danisnotonfire, Converse, danisnotonfire. Oops did I say danisnotonfire twice? ;) Well I love it, it's right beside my mirror and right beside my door so it's the first thing you see once you walk into my room.

John Green book update! I FINISHED PAPER TOWNS. Repeat, AVEEN FINISHED PAPER TOWNS. I didn't enjoy it as much as The Fault In Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, it just didn't have that addictive trait those books possess. It was well written like all of his books, however just not my favourite. Next I'll be reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson and then I'll be reading Delirium which I'm quite excited about.

After work one day I went into my local supermarket and discovered my name on a Coke Zero bottle! It's a different spelling of my name (Aoibhinn) which I don't mind seeing as on my birth cert it's spelt ''Aoibhainne'' not Aveen! (Sssh, most people don't know that) so my name causes a lot of  controversy as there are so many ways to spell it (Aveen, Aoibhinn, Aoibheann, Aoibhainne) I still haven't quite forgiven my parents for spelling it Aoibhainne! I really like the spelling Aveen and Aoibheann the most I think. So I was thrilled with finding my name on a Coke bottle as most of my friends had long ago found their own names and I hadn't, until now! Muwahaha

My Mum also bought my One Direction gel pens! 1D are my guilty pleasure to listen to so I was thrilled! I also have an obsession with gel pens which spawns from my childhood when I had a tin full of them and I would arrange the pens into ''families'' based on what colour ink they had. I sound like such an OCD person right now. *hums One Direction*

Also, I'd like to say a special thank you to everyone reading my blog, yesterday I hit 5,000 page views! This means so much to me seeing as I only started properly blogging in around late March and I had literally no views so thank you all for sticking with my random updates of insanity! I really appreciate it x

Another After Photo!

Zoomed in photo of my corkboard, love it.

A photo of my wall beside my door. The painting was done by my granddad who sadly passed away a few years before I was born. It's of a local beach and surrounding area. I've been told it's from the 1960's or so. There's a funny story of how I came to possess the painting! :)

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless!

Another Week Of Summer! ASDFGHJKL

Hey Everyone!

This week was really random, busy and weird! Only way to describe it to be honest! I was in work (as usual!) most of the week, which I don't mind. I have to say it's great having some independence and getting paid every week. Just now, I ordered four John Green books, ''Paper Towns'', ''An Abundance of Katherines'', ''Will Grayson, Will Grayson'' and also ''Looking For Alaska''. I bought TFIOS in London back in March as it's IMPOSSIBLE to find any John Green books in Ireland for some reason. I read (devoured) the book on the hour long flight home, and cried. Yes, it's taken nearly 4 months to read more John Green books. What can I say? I am such a procrastinator.

But my week wasn't all about John Green books! (I'm currently watching the Wimbledon final, come on Andy Murray!) On Friday, I was at my cousin Barry's house as another cousin of mine was getting married and we were invited to the evening part of the wedding.

So I would like to apologise now, I was meant to take a few photos of my outfit for all you beauty bloggers.. but I didn't. I completely forgot as I lost my phone in my cousins house (not bragging but his house is massive) as I was on the way to the hotel and I freaked. I soon found it, but I had to run to the car so couldn't take any photos, so I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE.

Apart from that hiccup, the evening was great. Everyone looked amazing to say the least. However it was slightly awkward when a teacher from my school was also at the wedding. She never taught me or anything, but still, it was weird. However it was to be expected because my cousin Joey and his now wife Natalie are both teachers! A match made in education, haha.

I got home at 2am and very stupidly went to badminton at 10am. I could barely hit the shuttlecock but I was forgiven as they didn't expect me to turn up! :) Overall it was good, seeing as it was the first badminton session in over 2 weeks.

Afterwards myself, Vivien, Evan, Brian and my brother Noel, went for a drive in Brian's new car and drove all over the local area, myself and Vivi chatting about how to tell the difference between Jack and Finn Harries! We drove back into town and saw a huge old style bus painted red and a local radio station there too, right on the Main Street. (Yes, the main street of the town is called the Main Street, clearly we're a creative town)

The front garden at my cousin's house, I forgot to take a photo of the pond at the front!

Barry's piano, I giggled because I thought of the saying ''So kawaii''

Another photo taken from the front window..

Viv and I saw this in the local supermarket, people are that desperate to find their name on a bottle!

The bus we got on, SO HOT UP THERE. 

The bus from afar, they even gave us balloon swords, little sweets and tried to use facepaint on our faces! (We were 13,16 and 19-20 by the way)

An Oreo cupcake I bought in a local Café, mmm Oreo's...

(Awkwardly saw a lorry driver from the business I work for in there too, awkward)

Ps, congratulations to AmazingPhil (Phil Lester) on YouTube for reaching 1 million subscribers, so proud to say I'm a Phillion! Oh and did anyone else see Danisnotonfire's (Dan Howell) new hairstyle? Thoughts?

So that's it for this week, Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

A Random Week, Indeed.

Hey Everyone,

Another week has come and gone. On Monday it's the 1 st of July?! I couldn't believe it when I saw, time flies when you're having fun I guess.. ! I didn't get up to as much this week sadly, but I'll tell you about it! (As compensation I'll be writing a review on a book I read recently!)

So I was working most of the week, which I don't mind really. It's better than staying at home sitting on Tumblr all day long. I was leaving work on Tuesday and got a text from my friend. Earlier this week my friends and I had been organising to hang out during the week, but I was working and couldn't make it.

So I got a text from my friend saying they were all walking up to where I work to meet me and say hi! I was so excited! So myself and Shannon  met (a friend of mine who works in the same place as I do) with Maeve, Caitlin and Maeve (Yes, I have two friends called Maeve!) and socialised for nearly an hour. As I was leaving, Caitlin asked was I was going to the cinema with them to see World War Z.

We went to see World War Z with a few other people in our year in school, the film was actually brilliant. Brad Pitt was really good and we were kind of swooning over him. Maeve made a joke about how the zombie's sounded like the bird from the movie ''Up!'' which of course, left us in hysterics at the back of the cinema. I really enjoyed seeing everyone again, seeing as I've been so tired after work I mainly just go on Tumblr & Twitter and go asleep!

I also bought myself new earphones as my old ones were broken and both the buds were missing so it was sore to place them in my ears. I bought pink Sony ones as I was feeling girly today. I'm listening to music with them now and it's amazing! I love them. I only hope I don't step on them in the future..

Now, you know Coca-Cola (Coke) have a campaign with ''Share a Coke with'' and a name on each individual bottle/can? Seeing as my name is Aveen, a rare name in Ireland, my name isn't on them. (If you could pass the tissue's it would be great) I was in my local shop up the road today. (I live in Ireland okay, there is a small shop up the road!) and saw a Coke can with ''Share a Coke with ME'' I don't generally drink Coca-Cola, I usually drink either Diet Coke or even Coke-Zero. So I bought the can and took a photo. It makes me wonder what am I doing with my life this summer. :)

So that's mostly it with The Life Of Me this week. Please try vote for Irish bloggers in The Blog Award Ireland. We'd really appreciate it, the closing date is July 1st! Get your skates on! On another note, I just looked at my all time views, which is now past 3,000! Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate it. I love you all :)

My Cringing Face (Idk why I posted it, it looked funny!)

My new earphones which sound amazing. 

My new phone background, it says ''Follow Your Dreams'' I love quotes too much..

I was babysitting my two little cousins last weekend, this was the result..

The Infamous Coke Can!

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,
