(no subject)
a soft rain is falling, tonight.
went out with dara & simon & dave & teddy & amanda & sarah & marissa, to the botanic house.
it was nice. i got a "melon drop" shot, which was bailey's and butterscotch schopps with something else.
the rest of the night we just danced and talked. found out from dara & dave that i'm one of the few americans they like in our apartment complex. it put me a little more at ease about our friendships, because i didn't want the friendship to feel like an imposition.
al invited me to a hurling match, tomorrow. that was nice as well.
and simon and i decided that we are watching the highlander this week. i am stoked.
all in all - great craic (im trying hard to get into the slang, here).
earlier today i bought two shirts from zara (yayy) at dundrum. it was a really nice mall. reminded me of home. which i didn't like (not that it necessarily reminded me of home- but the fact that it reminded me of american shopping malls).
i've developed a very strong love for this country and the people: i get angry at tourists for being loud. i feel more comfortable talking to strangers, because i now know they will talk back to me as if i've known them forever. i know my way around the city (which is the most exciting feeling). &i think i've replaced all preconceived notions i had had about ireland with truth. truth that i discovered through experiencing this place. and i am so grateful for it.
i've been in this country for a month. and i feel like there is still so much for me to do, and i only have a couple more weekends open to do those things.
galway is next weekend.
the weekend after that, jl leaves - i wanted to do a picnic in killiney.
next weekend i was thinking about going to see the yeats exhibit at the national library, go to the national gallery for the carvaggio they have, and then go to chester beatty to see the da vinci notebook.
at some point i do want to go to mass at christ church cathedral. i think that would be really comforting for some strange reason.
pictures will be coming soon... and they will be coming like some terrible storm... just because there are a lot.
miss you. ♥
