My life. 1 - 6ish yrs.

Now iv decided to do posts every now and then going though like years of my life and what happened and shit.
I guess im gonna start from well when i was born obvs till maybe 6 or 7, this will probably be very boring.
Well i was born in San Francisco to my moma Angie Barry and ma pops John Gilboy, clearly i dont remember anything but we moved to Ireland when i was like 2 i think, oh and i broke my arm on a jungle gym, I had a blue cast. Anyway back to Ireland we moved to Bellmullet, i also dont remember this really but mom was working in a hospital or something. Then we moved to Boffenaun in Mayo, yeah i know gross, but my dads family all lived there, Mom was still working in Bellmullet so that was pretty hard for her and she hated it there, so im about 4 now.

Growing up here wasnt actually that bad, it was a pretty picturesque, our house was like under nephin mountain, and there was a forest around our house that we usta climb to the top of and slide down and there was a like ring of trees in the middle of one of the fields which me and my sister called peter pan land and dad put up a huge swing. Mom decided to go back to college to become a lecturer. I remember as a kid this wasnt the nicest time i suppose because mom basically moved to dublin so i never got to see her for like 3 years. Things in regards to family life started geting hard here, mom and dad started fighting allot. Ah yeah and i started school, now to explain what my primary school was like, it was so run down, simply put it was a shed with a few prefabs around it, but then some one found a rat in the toilet so they decided to build a new school, so i got loads of time off school, it was awesome. So they moved the school into the community center, while they built the new school. My best friends in school where Stephanie, John joe and Gordan, Stephanie was me bessie though we usta mix our lunches like mix our drinks and sandwiches, and at lunch time we would crush pretty rocks and pretend we made stained glass then we'd to cart wheels for the older kids. Anyway nothing really happened i did my communion im sure, i dont know what age you do that at, but i think its now, i wore a silver suit (how fly), Im sure i got presents and shit but all i remember getting was a Celine Dion double cassette. I actually cherished this. After we went to westport house, which is amazing. Theres a petting zoo there, a fun train, a haunted house and a huage log ride. Right i think im finished now. There's more but im not bothered to write about it.
Adios xox
