Happy St. Patrick Day my peeps! I bet you guys didn't realize you're my peeps, too. *grins* I have declared it thus, and so you are. What do you think about that?!

Having been to London and Ireland, I have to say, that St. Patrick's Day is another one of those strangely American holidays that has nothing to do with anything anywhere else in the world despite the fact that it's considered an Irish holiday. It really isn't. It's mostly an American thing. An excuse to drink because Puritanical folks that we be, we can't just enjoy a pint without recrimination.

America, why can't we just get drunk? I ask you!

No matter, we're a-celebratin'.

I hope you all enjoy your day, pinch lots of non-green bottoms and enjoy a shot of Bailey's with your pint of Guinness. Kiss lots of boys (and girls) and bust a move out there on the dance floor.

Don't let me hear that you didn't have fun. Got it? Good.

I've never actually partied for St. Patrick's day. And you're so right about it not being a big deal in Ireland! When I was there it was on a Sunday and everyone said they were planning to go to church and then sit at home!

mmmm Guinness. If I didn't feel pukey, I'd go get some right now. I don't care if it's 10 am!

OOOO. Did I just get a little tongue? Ya'll she slipped me the tongue.

yum.

It's St. Pat's, yo! The earlier the better! The only time I remember partying earlier was during last class in Stirling. The prof held classes at the campus pub and you started drinking whenever class started. 8am if you're really lucky. YIKES!

I promise to have a pint on your behalf.

Meanwhile, I hope you feel better, chica!!

I live in the most Irish city in Canada...and St. Patrick's Day is a huge deal....with the green beer and then the green puke. *shudders*

I myself am going out for wine and Thai food- you know, just because I'm a rebel.

[seraphcelene]

Ooooh! I never thought about that particular correllation. Thanks for the thought. *shudders, too*

Enjoy your wine and you Thai!! I love THAI FOOD and I absolutely ADORE rebels.

My first gen Irish American dad's family celebrated SPD like mad, with the drinking and fighting and weeping and loud faux-Irish music, so this? Me avoidy. (My family's SPD parties were precursors to Riverdance. Semi-toothless, bloody, off-key precursors, but they had the stomping down to a fine science.)
