Behind The Façade
I am 16, I was born in Berlin, I live in Ireland i am half German half Irish, i am a vegetarian, a freshly boiled Pastafarian, here is where i will just post stuff about me and stuff that makes me think or interests me, so im guessing if you are gonna stalk me here is a good place to start...
Today, while watching the BBC Life series I was mesmerized by many aspects of nature, but what stuck with me most was that a female octopus lays many many eggs (approximately 100 000) tends to them for six months. Caressing them, and just making sure the eggs are protected. During that time she doesn’t leave her den, Not once, so she doesn’t hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. During her pregnancy she thus, slowly starves herself to give the eggs a chance. On her last energy she apparently blows water over them to help them hatch and then she dies.
This sacrifice makes them (to me) one of the most devoted mothers in nature.
Oh and they also have 3 hearts and blue blood.
Absolutely fascinating…

Making the most of the year
So TY (transition year) is almost up and I’ve won a languages competition, an Irish times competition which resulted me show casing my origami for a week in Dublin at the national craft and design fair, i did a CPR course, set up a theatre group with other TY students from around limerick and preformed, I’m nearly finished a leadership course, Went on a ski trip to Italy (I went snow boarding (it’s way cooler)), I was in a fashion show, worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 weeks, I was in a play, got a perfect score on my Food safety exam (a basic culinary sanitation exam), and im working through my ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence).
I went to Achill Island to do activities and camp overnight in tents, I am nearly finished my Gaisce presidents award bronze level, I have the great limerick run (6 miles) on in 2 weeks for charity, i did a basic sign language course.
I have also applied for a Travel scholarship to Japan for 6 weeks with EIL inter-cultural learning, i got through to the finals in dublin with 4 other people where I had an interview, will know for sure on the 1st of May, and if not I might go WWOOFing (World Wide Organisation of Organic Farmers) where you stay at an Organic farm and work for 4-6 hours a day and in return get 3 free meals and a place to sleep (considering Nepal and New Zealand), Nearly went on MUN (Model United Nations) but it clashed with ski trip so I’ll go next year.
All in all I think its been eventful and I’ll have to tone down a bit next year, but while I still have time im gonna try fill up my CV.
I’ll try and keep you posted!

Now it’s just a few weird things I did
Another one, I need markers, they are fading
Lately I have been drawing these whatever you call em style pictures, inspired by the grow games by Eyesmaze
I have invented an alternative to henna! This is it after 24 hours of application, it’s made from synthetic cochineal (real cochineal being from crushed insects( it was a food colouring btw)) and moisturiser spread in thin lines and left to soak in! The moisturiser soaks in and takes the colour with it! Will try to keep you posted on developments…….. Oh shit, just remembered I have swimming with my school on Tuesday….. I’ll convince them it’s a birthmark…..
My try at some manga…. I need some more sharpies

I love you Tom!
Awwwww, Cheers to both of ye! ;-P

Rainfall saps so much energy from the sky that it may slow down atmospheric circulation if Earth’s climate continues to warm.
by Sid Perkins
That’s the conclusion of a new study, in which researchers have for the first time estimated the average amount of energy robbed from the atmosphere by friction in the airflow around falling raindrops (artist’s concept shown).
The data indicate that, between 30°N and 30°S—a broad swath around Earth’s equator that stretches approximately from New Orleans, Louisiana, to southernmost Brazil—the energy drained from the air by all raindrops from ground level up totals about 1.8 watts per square meter, about half the energy emitted by a night-light.
Because climate models suggest that global average precipitation will increase between 1% and 2% for each 1°C rise in average temperature, the extra energy drained from the atmosphere by raindrop-induced friction will likely result in less energy available to drive winds, weather systems, and other atmospheric motions, researchers report online today in Science.
