Thursday I finally made it to the meeting. They are meeting in a hotel on Thursdays until summer and it's lighter out. I guess some kids had been vandalizing the hall and trying to set it on fire when everyone was in there soo when they evacuated they started throwing rocks and a couple bros got hit :/. It's pretty in tense but it's funny cause everyone here just totally jokes about it and doesn't think it's a very big deal at all lol. Oh we'll I guess I don't need to either.
So I had a bro and his 3 kids pick me up...as we're driving to the hotel he says..."I'm not staying at the meeting soo you will need to find your own way home". Uhhhh ok. This shall be fun since I only know a handful of people. Anyway so we get there and he drops me and his 15 y/o son off and away he drives. Awkward!
So we go in and it's soo tiny and barely anyone there, it was a bit weird. So the brother that I've talked to and met is like "Hiya lyndsey" and keeps on walking! Soo then I go put my stuff Down and meet a couple old sisters..then meeting starts. But there's like no one there...hmmm...ok!!
First song..music didn't work! It was hilarious. A few more peeps came but not many. This couple with a baby and toddler came and sat next to me and it was soo funny cause obviously they don't know me and porbably figured the kids were annoying me but the little boy was all grabbing my hair and going through my purse and asking for candy hahah and the mom was like I'm soo sorry!! It was cute!! A really weird thing that through me off a little was that about half the bros have beard/scruff/goatee and I was like hmmm maybe this is a dodgy hall...but then the bro with the biggest beard was the school overseer lol. That's something that's a lil different!
Anyway come to find out...besides maybe 2 families that was the whole hall :/. There was a couple younger ones but not many soo I needed to meet these peeps! I went up to these girls and introduced myself...found out they were young (14,15). So I knew I could ask stupid questions lol I was like how old is everyone in the hall?? Do you guys hang out? Do you go to the movies? Blah blah ...they weren't very helpful lol. I met a couple guys they seemed cool...after I couldn't understand the one guy a million times lol. So me and this random 15 year guy got dropped off my Josh....he seemed really cool and down to earth...so I asked him and he said some of the guys have a band and they play down at the local pubs and ill have to watch sometime. Yay normal people!! And I was totally pushing like..."I'm up for whatever... I don't know anyone in town.... Yea I like pubs!!" Well it didn't work I sat alone Friday night in my room!! Lol
Saturday I called the bro the night before and told him I wanted to go out in service...all he said to me was he will arrange something...that's all I heard!! So I got up and got dressed at like 8:30 in case the meeting was at 9 and they be there around quarter til....9 o'clock ..nothing.....9:30 ....nothing....I was like omg I'm gonna have to call the old bro out in service and give him the business about forgetting me lol Finally at 9:45 a get a call telling me to go outside and wait lol So apparently service doesn't start til 10!! At least I know that now!!
So we go out and it's like the most awkward kinda service there is...like 20 people in one small neighborhood ..i hate that!! But whatever !! So we were out for a while and they asked me if we take coffee breaks and I'm like YAAAA!!! Lol. So we take one but we don't go anywhere we all just go back to the cars and they have coffee and tea and cookies and sweets in the car and everyone just stands around the middle of the street and has their coffee!! Hah
Later that day I went to the shops...it was the first warmish day. Then Emma rang and asked if I wannted to go to the pool!! Sounded fun!! Plus I like her kids!! Shiloh gave me a flower out in service it was soo cute!! So we went and as we're all in the dressing room she yells over...."Did you bring a cap? ". Me: "Uhh no". Well that was weird I thought..whatev. Then we're headed to the pool area and she hands me a cap....I was like "No it's ok I don't use one" Em: "no you have too" Me : " no it's ok I don't mind if I get chlorine or whatever on my hair" Em: "no you HAVE. To wear it or you won't be aloud in the pool". At this point I probably had the most disgusted look on my face...like I could even fathom putting such a thing on my head and then swimming in it...it was seriously soo retarded!! Pool was fun...the old bro in the hall was there and kept hitting me in the face with the noodles and balls lol
Afterwards they had me over for dinner.....everyone back home will be soo proud of me...I ate whatever it was they gave me and I have no clue but it was some meat situation in a tortilla with corn and idk. I just tried not to think about it. Ew When I left it was nice cause I had to jump the fence behind their house and my neighbor good is right there!!
Sunday..I went into the city!! Not only was it my first time in the city city it was also St Paddys day and on top of that it was raining lol St Patricks day here isn't quite what it is back home...sure people dress in green and like leprechauns but like the parade and stuff had absolutely nothing todo with st paddys day..they have made it into a festival all week long not one day! So I take the bus into town I have no idea where I'm going soo I just start following everyone else lol found the parade and wedged myself into a spot. There was a bunch of Americans standing right next to me and I made friends with them. It was sooo funny cause the parade was weird...like just the most random stuff ever. And we couldn't really see until it was right in front of us but ne of the guys was super tall and he would say ...raggedy Ann doll....and we would think what in the world? Like yea right...then sure enough here comes a huge raggedy Ann doll and then like 20 people dressed like her dancing!! It was soo funny and weird! Towards the end we were all do e wight eh rando m stu ff soo they went to get a beer ..and asked if I wanted to join...so I did since I was by myself lol. Good choice I made too I didn't have to buy a single drink that day lol. We hung out and went to a couple different pubs ...one with live music from the customers just more people would come in a dn join the band it was sooo cool!!
Monday was a public holiday...I think just because everyone is probably still drink from the night before. Lol. But I got to sleep in a little and I helped out a little but Joe was home soo they did a family thing!
Tuesday we went to Cork ....actually Middleton. It's right outside of cork. This is where Jennifer grew up and her parents are still there. So we went down dropped Abbie at the grandparents..she left me as we'll to go exploring the town and she went to get coffee with her best friend that lives in Canada but was back visiting. This places was really cool just because it was soo old and you could tell lol. Also it was right on the beach soo that's nice as well...so I just wandering around all afternoon!! Took lots of rando pictures lol On the way home the babies were crying and Jen was about to have a complete meltdown...she kept stoping and holding them and then feeding them and was like just drive...it's late they will fall asleep. I mean it's only and hour and half drive!! Anyway when we got one the boys were still uneasy and Joe was out of town for the night soo she was having a full on panic attack and started crying!! Lol I didn't know what todo soo I told her to take her and the crying baby outside for some fresh air.... 5 min she's came back and he was fast asleep!! Some people can't function under pressure I guess!!
Anyway it's been a crazy week but fun!! This next week will be just as jam packed!! :)
<3 lynds
