Journal Entry: Mon Jul 7, 2008, 4:02 AM
Just felt like writing THINGS. I've been feeling talkative lately in an anti-social way, if that's possible. Anyhoo!

MOVING

I'm moving in about a week from Neilstown to Chaplizod. The apartment is small, which I'll share with my boyfriend, but so far living with landlord people have proven to be a bad experience over all, so I'm pretty happy about moving. I'm ESPECIALLY happy to get out of Neilstown, as yesterday I discovered that my bus won't go through the area anymore in the evenings, because of gang-violence, and on previous day I had been kinda bullied by a group of teenagers.
I'm still very nervous, because I know it won't be cheap to live there, and I can't seem to get over the fact how much cheaper living is in Finland. I hope I'll manage somehow and maybe find a real job after college starts.

PETS

I'm thinking if I should get a tiny pet lizard or something. I miss having a pet, so it would be nice to have something small with feet.
Does anyone know where to get lizards in Dublin? And are they hard to take care of?

STRESS

I seem to be anxious too much about everything EVER and sometimes get chest pain from the amount of stress. People I'm around and know me keep suggesting to go see a doctor, but I don't really know if even a doctor could do anything about it. Even if things were alright in my life, I always seem to find a reason to stress about. It's ridiculous, but I can't seem to help it and I don't know what to do. I've tried "relaxation sessions" few times in the past, and they've only made me even more stressed. Wtf.
Has anyone had any similar problems? And has there been anything to get you over the annoying feeling of angst?

SIGHT-SEEING

Dima's mom is visiting from Russia, and she's a one big tourist. Is there some places you'd recommend to see in Dublin or.. wherever, around. As we do have someone to give us a ride for few trips. Yesterday we went to a pub called Johnnie Fox (I think it was). The salmon was nice.

I don't know about lizards, but I'd go and see a doctor for the anxiety if I were you. It sounds like it could be an anxiety disorder, and a doctor will be able to refer you to a psychiatrist if it's serious enough to need treatment.

I hope you settle in well to your new apartment. :)

theyre okay to take care of so long as you buy all the right equiptment.

newst and axelotyls are cheaper and require less care (in my opinion)

alisons would be best to ask about it

I have almost the same problem with stress... but I've started to be able to manage mine a little...I try to just stop thinking about it and find something else to do, reading a good book or something seems to help...

I have a lot of lizards, some of them are wild caught(caught them myself), and they aren't too hard to take care of with the proper equipment... Although there are a few species that are very difficult, however most of those are expensive.

What kind of lizard did you have in mind?

Oooh! Newts! I didn't even think of those. Less care + cheaper = even better.
I SHALL ASK ALISON.

Stress is a bitch. Most of my books and shit is in Finland, and I'm in Ireland... and I'm very picky about my books. Worst is sometimes at nights, when I can't sleep when I worry so much.

I was suggested a newt, and I'm kinda liking that idea. Something smallish and easy to take care of, which wouldn't need that much space, considering that the place I'll be moving in to isn't really spacious enough to keep a giant lizard, unless it slept in the bed with me, hahaha.

Might go to a doctor then... Although I'm too good at procrastinating with these things.

I hope I settle as well! >D

newts can be cool, I have 2 rough skinned newts, native to this area. One was even still in its water form when my sister brought them home. They're wild animals though.

Newts tend to not like being handled... they just sort of sit there or try to crawl away most of the time... and they really don't like being in the open, they spend just about all of their time completely hidden in their tank so you can't even see them... some are more active than others though...like the fully aquatic ones...the chinese fire belly newt stays in the water all the time and is pretty visible.
