Paddy spirit is lacking..

I've been looking forward for a day off for so long. It's sad because I hadn't even realised that it was near Paddy's day til yesterday. I apologize for the lack of posting, but in the spirit of paddy, I thought I'd share my Paddy day events.

I've only been to the Cork parade once..shame on me. It's funny because it's usually only the tourists and kids here that would cover themselves up in shamrocks and green glitter. In Cork (or Ireland for that matter), today is an excuse to get drunk in the morning without it being socially unacceptable.

I was in the States last year visiting friends at this time. I was in Boston 2 days before Paddy's day and my eyes were blinded with green. On the T (tube), the driver wished everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day at every stop! And that was 2 day before!! I was in Phoenix on the 17th, and not much was happening there. I drew a shamrock on my face.. very creative, I know.


This year tops all of those. I slept in, watched 90210 (hate to admit it..but I love it), then trotted my ass to the library. I did loads of printing and some study, and wore nothing green. I did however distribute care bear jellies in the spirit of Paddy. I also wished Happy St Patrick's day (in Gaeilge) to an old man, who I of course scared, and to another randomer. Kate wore green and put us all to shame, and Fi ate some green spinach (that counts, right?). I didn't even have any potatoes for dinner. I had chicken madras......shame on me.

The shameful SOS!ers

Bless the green leaves...

..and bless Kate for wearing green.

Dress (Beyond Retro), tights (Topshop), shoes (Melissa), belt (H&M)

..and now I'll go back to watching 90210, then the new episode of Gossip Girl. It's finally fucking back.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona Duit!
