Diary 21st June 2014

Well after a few hours sleep, I got reluctantly but at the same time encouragingly and showered. Moments before I was due to go to sleep, I got a bit panicky as I actually did need my iPod for the Arlam function, as Sammy no long can provide it. Poddy does that for me. But when I came in  last nite(well technically this morning - hehehe), I left my Poddy down somewhere. I ignored this UNTIL I had to get and find. I had done my rubbish and now I had the need to look for iPod. So eventually I found Poddy. And headed for a 40 winks. Then when I got up, I showered n got ready. I then made my way to the Outhouse as part of Pride events of Annual. Its known as Societies Day. Whereby Companies and support services offer there services as in like an Open Day for a college kinda thing. Following are the company's that were on offer to offer their services.

G-Force

Branching Out
When I approached Branching Out, I recognised Olive from the A Pride To Remember Event. Twas wonderful and lovely. However I did learn that Branching Out is Spiritual aspect of Pride. Never knew of this. heeheh.

Gay Switch Board

And others of course.

I then joined up afterwards and saw Searson. Twas great to see him. We had a wee chat. Then he was going to another event of Dublin Pride namely the NewsTalk Global Village in the Morgan Hotel. I went  along to just put in time, as my film was at 6.50 and this was about 5.30. So I popped along. I was most impressed with the layout of the Event in question and the Hotel. Fabulous indeed. heeheheh. Dil who was hosting the show which was being broadcast live on radio, remembered me at a Halloween Party. I was most impressed and still am, as to how she remembered me. I was delighted. On the way to the Hotel for the NewsTalk event, I saw my Inflatable Penis. It was for a hen party that was taking place. I was ecstatic. So then I headed on towards the cineama. On the way, I wanted to see the Gallery of BeLongTo(Ireland's LGBT Youth Service) National Gallery Archive. The further  I delved in, I encountered IFI(Irish Film Institute). I was most impressed with the whole layout, so unique and old fashioned ie the Walls as in the Old Dublin kinda thing. So I saw on the poster that they have a Loyalty Scheme and a Membership, something like Cineworld. So I questioned about the scheme. I was told that its 25 a year and you get free movies OFF peak and discount off tickets. Mind you the tickets ain't that bad actually. Like 5 for a ticket where as Cineworld is about 7 or 8. Food thou i'd say be high as you get a discount of 15% over €10 order. Eitherway, I think I'll sign up. And the fact that they feature LGBT Films too, that's a big plus alrite.
I eventaully arrived at teh cinema. I tasted the jaleopinos after my first time, was stinging with pain of spucyness i decided to try again. I can't wait to try it again. What prob happend the last time was that I ate them instead of with the Nachos. hahaha. So I went in and saw Maleficent. REview. here.
So shortly before I turned in, I headed to ALdis to get a few clothing that was going on for sale. Then I headed to Lidls to get Milk. Loving it and addicted to the stuff. hahaah.
