Is it just me or does everyone wish they had this accent on St. Pattys Day/secretly wish they could do what they did?
St. Patricks Day Definition thanks to UrbanDictionary.com:
Nowadays in USA = Just an excuse teenagers find to get wasted either during the school week or on Spring Break.
Used in a sentence:
-Oh man! St. Patrick's Day as awesome!!!
=What'd you do?
-umm....I don't.....remember....
=Yeah, that's what I thought, you culture-stealing liberal! Go get drunk on Pearl Harbor Day or something! Leave St. Patty's Day to the laddies!
This pretty much sums up my evening except for the fact that I'm not a teen and it wasn't spring break. I suppose I am a culture stealing liberal. Why do we ALL celebrate St. Patricks Day gladly as if it's our own holiday? I don't know. I'm half Irish thanks to my momma dukes' side of the fam. So I guess I'm more able than most to truly say it's part of my heritage to celebrate it? After student teaching all day I was really in the mood to put on something green and head to NYC. The kid's wore THE MOST ridiculous outfits.. some in hideous shades of green but it was all in good fun.
Anyways.. I took it upon myself to go to NYC with my dear friend Laura, despite being completely broke. Which didn't matter b/c a man by the name of Sammy bought us drinks all night and a cab ride back to grand central. For no reason at all, just a nice guy. A nice cocky tool. Haha, he definitely tried hard to show us he had money. Like literally took out a wad of cash from his pocket rolled together with a rubber band. That's cool I guess.
Anyways- we had a tonnnn of fun and saw some truly fabulous things. A man with giant christmas ornaments strung in a necklace, all of which were green of course. Ambulances galore. Every Irishman and woman were in the pub we went to. Then we came back to Kelly's in White Plains which is also an Irish joint. This is where the night gets blurry. Laura's friend buys us shots. Laura buys me a pitcher. I drink said pitcher with Laura. Blah Blah Blah next thing I know it's 4am and I'm in my dorm trying desperately to tell my cooperating teacher I can't make it tomorrow.
To top all this off, Tara is having her baby like any minute so thats great news! WOO!
Now I'm going to go force myself to sit in the common room without internet so I can type up some papers that are due. Lovin' life today, yup. Hoo-Ha how ya feelin? Hoo-Ha feel good! (Name that movie?)
