Just to let you gals know. Tjay and I have been looking up hostels and such and are going to book one night. I wil book for 8 people for the minute but let them know it could change slightly.

I'll pay the deposit with a credit card so that we know that we have out place to stay. I'll let you all know where it is tonight or tomorrow so that flights and such can be booked.

Laura and Tjay.

I just had a great week!

I spent the week in Belfast catching up with the ones there and getting away from home for a few days due to tensions getting slightly high here between me and mammy. Not that, that doesn't happy like every week.

We all went to Pizza hut on Thursday night, there was:
me
Sean
cmr
Caro
Andrew
Fado
Oran
Alice
Ryan
John
Connor
Decky
James h
James D

Had lots of fun and boy can Alice and Ryan eat! They had so much pizza between the two of them! Lots of craic with everyone. Alot of us headed back to Uni Ave. Lots of fun there, watched a chick click and fell aleep with my head on Alices ass if I remember right. *laughs* Aparatly I talked non stop all week in my sleep....not good!

On Friday went over to the hospital as Sean was getting home for good, had to bring over a present that he left behind so I did that before heading back over to do some school work, only that didn't happen as Friel's sis landed to bring him home so I left the house so not to watch it all. Went to the student Union to meet Amdrew to set up for the 24hour thing. Waited for an hour so he could finish work, keeping myself occupied with saduku (sp) Got set up in like an hour and a half to two hours I think, not bad for it just being the two of us. So many bloody tables to lift! I have muscles in my arms now, woot woot. After doing all the hard work we went for pizza before heading in seperate directions....for some reason Andrew didn't think me able to walk back to cmr's! Silly boy!

Went to the gaming thing on Saturday morning. I played mario kart for ages, not getting any better at it I have to say...actually, I think I was getting worse. Anyway, the competitions started and I won the Sun sprite Mario kart one! I was all buzzed with that, so gad I won something. Was with the guys on the comps for ages: Andrew (iziz), Ben, Steve, Andrew (narchy) and the others that I fail to know. They are great craic! Played some wii bowling only to be thrashed by those who own wii's like Iziz of course! Played donkey konga and even playing some games through lan. Played savage, thanks to Ben and possibly due to the fact that they needed another player. Loved it, very addictive but Steve seemed to like killing me far too much, well him and iziz, even Ben started to join in with the Laura killing.

Played singstar! I knocked out Tina in the quarter finals only for her to get back into the semis due to there only being 3 people. A guy Paul knocked me out when he picked The boys are back in town, due to lack of verse knowlege even Whitney huston couldn't give me another 100 points to beat him. So I got into the final four before having to step aside!

Watched star trek 5 with commentary while trying not to listen to Eunan singing like a woman!!!! I mean it, that dude sounds like a real woman!

so I now met all of Andrews house mates. *laughs* Talking to Eunan for a while until someone told me who he was, meh! I got to make fun of him so it was all good. I also got to make fun of Andrew (iziz) in his link pictures, although in saying that he didn't look bad in them, he suits his little costume. *grins*

So yes, a great 24 hours, so glad that I went! Thanks to everyone for making my day superb!!! *smiles*

ps. Steve was so not shy and quiet when he was killing me, make me laugh how unlike that he actually was!

So, Sean had his operation today. It was meant to take 6 hours but lasted 10 hours. Me and Ciara saw him this morning before he went in, I've been up since 5.45am so I'm more than groggy right now. He was scared and drugged this morning so I'm not sure if that was the best combo for him. We all left after making sure he was okay and was on his way to Theatre. Me and cmr headed back to their place and made some breakfast as it was like time for normal people to rise. After that watched some tv, trying to do things to keep our minds off the time and off thinking about what could be happening.  I had a few calls from mammy and things and found out that the op was taking alot longer than planned so me and cmr were told there was no paint in us going back to the hospital. For me I think that was the most frustrating thing of all, I didn't get to be there for him after his op. Instead of being there with him I watched tv and played sudoku. (sp)

So anyway, he finally came out and mammy and daddy were allowed to see him for like 5 minutes. They had him propped up slightly, more to keep him fron laying on his back as he has been doing that since Friday. He is currently on a ventilater (sp) and is out cold, they are keeping him out until tomorrow where they will slowly bring him around. But he was awake for a few minutes when mammy and daddy were in. He was able to nod to say he knew he wasn't on his back, to say he was in pain and to nod to tell them it was his chest and back that was sore. After that he was given more drugs and put to sleep.

He has been through so much this last week and he's been so brave. I know myself that I wouldn't and coudln't have done what he has done in the past week. He has kept his spirits up, never looked down. Always been awake even when he was full of pain. At times this week I realised how much I need him and rely on him, even when he isn't at home. It's been weird staying in his house and him not coming back in the evening to sit and chat with me, cook with me and just hang out. It's weird. I've seen him everyday since this happened and I've missed him this week more than any other time in my life. I know he's there but I can't just txt him and have a chat about my problems.

I also noticed this week that those people I thought were my best friends seem to be in the wood work as I havn't heard tale of them in ages. All I want to do at the minute is cry and get my brother back properly but I can't even do that as crying is a sign of weakness and I can't do that to the parents or cmr or anyone at the minute. I know I'll have him back soon but I want it to be that I'm not on a time restriction with him, that I can sit and watch a film with him without feeling guilty about being at his side as other people are sitting and wanting to see him too.

well, anyway. that's all for now.

ps, Claire: Don't be nervous. I have like things planned to keep us busy. *hugs*
