This is going to be another post referring to Ireland.
It seems I have finally hit the point where one is no longer excited about being home. The last month I was in Ireland and since I have come home I have been so excited to be going back or actually back in the states. But recently I have been getting little Ireland flashbacks. I'll just be sitting, and I'll remember walking to school, or going to the grocery store, or various other little things. It's hard to explain, it's not a people thing at all, I want to be with everyone from lasalle and home but I want to be back in Ireland. I miss my flat, and I miss going to the pub, I miss walking down abbeygate street and eyeing up the pastries at gourmet tart co., I miss going to Penny's a gazillion times a week and spending way to much money. And its not just being able to up and go to Spain or France whenever I want, I miss Ireland, the people, the country, the landscape everything.
I'm already itching to go back and I don't know how to subdue these feelings.

Finally Doing It
So everyone else has done this 15 people thing, you know the stuff you would never say to people and write it on here anonymously. I will hopefully keep mine nice and light, hopefully.
1) You're my best friend, I pretty much consider you a sister, and I never call you as much as I should. I hate that we can't spend the summer together because we are off in our own worlds trying to get our lives together. But I miss you and I can't wait till august when we can spend every waking second together.
2)I hate that sometimes I forget how much of a good friend you are. It seems when I am away from you I distance myself from you, but I don't mean too. I'm sorry if I didn't keep in touch as much as I should have in Ireland, but your emails always made me happy and brightened my day. I can't wait till next semester. I promise to be a better friend.
3) You are a tool. Plan and simple. Sometimes you can be nice and funny, but most of the time, A tool.
4) I don't like that you keep pushing an issue that I have decided I don't want. I don't think you have realized it, but I have changed my mind about things between us. It scares me because I don't know how to tell you and I don't want to lose you.
5) I'm still not over you.
6)I don't know what to do about you. You left, then I left and I haven't seen you in ages, but yet I still can't let go. I'm curious about next semester and whether or not we will even be friends.
7) I hate that you are so mean to all of my friends. I hate that you are so mean to someone you call your best friend. I think you are rude and not a nice person at all. I'm happy someone finally stood up too you because I think you need a reality check. Im happy I know how people feel about you becuase now I don't feel I have to be nice to you all the time.
8)Sometimes you can be an egotistical jerk but I love you all the same. Sometimes you can be mean to people but I know you don't actually mean it. You're another person I could never live without. I am happy we became closer and that I get to see you all the time. You make life fun and keep things light.
9)I'm very curious about you. We've never talked before but I am intrigued by our friendship.
10)You are one of my closest friends. But then you got a boyfriend and you just seemed to forget about me and the rest of our group. I know you don't mean to, but sometimes you leave us hanging. I'm glad that we haven't grown apart but I just wish I could see you more often without your boyfriend, even though I adore him. I'm also scared for you. That you are going to get trapped in this relationship. Don't settle down to fast, remember to live.
11)I'm so proud of you. I'm proud how you are dealing with this latest situation. You are stronger than you think and you can survive anything. I consider you one of my closest friends and if you ever need me I am here for you no matter what.
12)You are the best guy friend I have ever had. I have never never never been able to open up to a guy before you. And I am happy that you are in my life. Im sad you won't be around as much but I know I will see you all the time. I hope you always stay the same, or if you grow that I grow with you.
13) I wish we could see each other more but you are amazing. You are such fun and it's nice to have someone not involved in my school life or home life that is completly seperate that I can talk to if i ever need a break. We were fated to be friends and I am happy that destiny brought us together.
14) I don't even know how to begin to tell you how much I appreciate and love you. You can make any situation fun and awkward at the same time. You make me laugh and I know I can always come to you and talk about anything under the sun. We had some rough times freshman year, but I am so glad we got through them, I can't imagine life without you.
15) Last but not least. You are amazing. Plan and simple. I like that we can just be. We don't even have to talk anymore and we understand each other. I'm sorry for leaving last semester, but I promise never to do it again. You are strong and I love it. You stand your ground and you are so smart. I envy you. I know we will be friends forever. You and the person above are my reasons for living, I love that I get to see both of you everyday.
There it is. Some of it is a little meanier than I anticipated but o well. My blog, deal with it.

Dance Until Your Legs Fall Off
This weekend was excellent. The social schedule was so full and I got to spend loads of time with some of my favorite people.
Friday night was Gwen's going away party. So a huge group of us took the subway down to Walnut Street and hung out at Sal's on 12th. Then the big kids went to the big kid gay piano bar, and us youngins went to Cosi for some lovely dinner.
The next day, I did my chemistry homework, attended a spectacular Relay for life; me and pam got some water ice and did some laps, then to church and then to Jamie's graduation party. And let me say the graduation party was awesome. Like super awesome. The masque took over and we had a spectacular time dancing away the night. The DJ wasn't that great but it was fun, which was completely evident by the amount my legs hurt the next day.
The next was filled with me pam and amanda lounging around, then driving to jersey to get chemistry stuff, and groceries. Then we made a lovely dinner of pizza and capri suns and went to see Evan Almighty. The movie was very good, some of it was inaccurate because they called the Potomac river something it wasn't but other than that very good. I highly recommend it, Wanda Sykes is hysterical. We then followed this up with a cheese steak run, where I was groped by someone I don't know, but enjoyed the cheese steak no less.
And now for something completely different, the Ireland memory. Going with the dancing theme. One Wednesday me and Beth went to GPO for 80's night. Perhaps the best night of the week, and danced till it hurt to crappy 80's music. The best part of 80's night is when they play the song, Tequila, they pour free tequila down your throat. It's excellent. Also the boys were with us that night, Ian and Kevin. And it was liking having body guards. Anytime anyone would get close to us they'd "throw elbows". Awesomeness.

Wonderful Days Summer - Entry II
Since coming back to NJ/Philly life has been excellent. Going out with Pamela and her friends, going to center city for David's Birthday, wearing fancy dresses and heels, taking a long lunch and getting Rita's, lunch dates everyday, Quizzo on Monday nights, seeing my family and so on. Things overall have just been good. I'm liking the flow I've gotten in, even work is excellent. I mean what other office, has ice cream parties, breakfast some mornings, and overall is just fun to be at, almost makes me want to be an admissions counselor, almost. I'll be quite upset when Classes start and I'll be stuck in Holroyd for 10 gazillion hours a day. But I also get to do chemistry again, I'm using that as my silver lining. So all in all life is good. I miss my friends from home and all the lasalle kids that aren't here in the summer but so far things are great.
At the same time I've been thinking a lot about Ireland and my trips that I took. So I think in every entry I'll re-tell some of my favorite stories from Ireland. Its basically just for me so I don't forget them.
One of the funniest memories from the trip was when a bat got into our flat. Alisa was visiting, and other than that I think it was just Beth in the flat. So we are sitting in the other room and went back into the room and we scream because flying around the lamp was a bat. The crazy thing the windows were closed. So evidently it was like hanging on the curtains or the wall of something. Me and Beth were freaked out and wouldn't even go into the room, so while we left Alisa to fight the bat we went down and got a boy, we ran into Luke first to come and save us. It was scary because we thought it would escape into the rest of the flat. Finally they got it out and soon as they did the other guys charged in, Braveheart style to save us. They came to found a batless apartment and were very disappointed. It was quite entreating.
Here's to Ritas and Bats. (Kate I don't care if I stole this from you)

Wonderful Days of Summer
I went to the beach with my friends from home and had an absolutely splendid time. I then returned to the greater Philadelphia area for the rest of the summer!! Yeaaa!!!
So to get the summer started nicely, Sara and I went to the ballet. It was awesome, I've never been before so it was super cool. We got to go backstage and to the green room and sat in the 9th row orchestra, it was pretty fecking sweet. And Sara and I got to catch up, which was nice. I missed her.
And then today Amanda, Pam and I had a marvelous time, screaming for racing bikes, dancing in the Ben Franklin Parkway and various other ridiculous things. Lets just say I love bike cycling even more and I can't wait for the tour. Its gonna be sweet, if you know what I mean.

Goodbye SMC
I realize this is a couple days early, but tomorrow is my bro's grad party and the next day I leave, so I'll just write it today.
Im leaving this weekend, and going back to Philly. Im super excited becuase I get to spend oober amounts of time with some fantastic folks. Its also kinda weird becuase in reality this will be my last real time home home. My parents are making me switch rooms with my little sis, so when I come back I won't even be coming back to "my" room. I'll be living in Philly till December basically, and then probably again next summer. Its seems my roots are disappering and my wings are coming out full force. Its bittersweet, but I guess "You can have roots and wings" ( You better know where that quote is from otherwise we are no longer friends).
Here's to home.

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
