Random thoughts whilst concious....

Why when Gaelic is the lands first language, and the road signs are all written as Gaeilge first, and Gaelic is compulsary in primary school, is the language dying?

Why is it that even though an Irish person will tell you no one goes out at night in November, or January they are actually telling you this whilst in a pub, drinking, and planning their next move? and on that note Why will girls dress in the skimpiest little outfits, with the most uncomfortable shoes, in the most freezing temperatures when supposedly no one is out to see them anyway?

And finally why have we shown up almost every Tuesday night at the Porterhouse to have our pub quiz when there has not been a pub quiz for almost two months??? The last two excuses have been the microphone is not working, hmm.....

Just a few random thoughts of mine, we all have them, don't we?

So for a month that no one is supposed to go out in I sure have had my fair share of outtage! Since the beginning of 2007 I have officially been in three nights this month. I know what your thinking, it's only early, but no it's not it's the middle of January people, and before you know it February will be upon us and you all know what that means........ (yeah OK neither do I)

Something else I've noticed has very much not been lacking in 2007 is Men. Men seem to be everywhere at the moment, everywhere I go there seems to be an abundance of Irish boys. Go out on a Friday night, boys come from everywhere, I go home from work, the only people in the hostel seem to be men, off you trot to Pub Quiz night where it used to be a girls only club and low and behold boys seem to be taking over. Now I'm not complaining, I am taking all this new boys are starting to notice me all in my stride....... Yeah right!

The biggest thing in my life right now is Australia Day that's right Folks I officially get two Australia Days this year. 1. the Australia Day which will be celebrated during your time to listen to JJJ hottest 100 countdown which in Irish time will be Thursday from 10pm - Friday at 6am wayhey all nighter! Then off to work on Friday only to rush back to Gail and Kelly's house because 2. we are hosting an Australia Day party for all our Irish friends! We have an Aussie guy to cook the BBQ, outdoors in the freezing cold. When in London we stocked up in the Australia store on fantales, twisties, burger rings, allens lollies, etc. I'm baking lamingotns, Kate is cooking Pavlova, and we have all sorts of mascots for the night!

So all is grand, life is great, lets just hope that I keep my head on strait with all these boys around!!

Countdown to Galway 20 days!!!!
