Ohh Ireland. 11/27/2006 09:25:00 PM

How you make me fall in love with you all over again.

Lately I've felt like I have a crush on it or something. It's wierd. I was watching Braveheart this weekend--I know, I know, the movie is about the Scottish, but the majority of it was filmed in Ireland--and seeing the battlefields (minus the bloody bodies, mind you) almost made my heart ache. I remember getting all giddy when I saw parts of the castle that I visited. Of course I've also been listening practically non-stop for a week now to the "Even Better than the Real Thing" cds that I downloaded, so hearing those songs keep bringing random flashbacks of the bus rides, scenery, and of course my bus drivers lovely singing voice. Seriously, I would marry it.

Sam has also been asking me a lot of questions about Ireland and Galway in particular, because although she has always planned on moving to England after she graduates her boyfriend Clay (who she'll probably marry) is now talking about the possibility of moving to Galway instead of Brighton, but Sam doesn't know much about Galway, because she's been set the last couple years on living in Brighton. So alot of that talk started making me think how much I loved it, and why the hell is she the one contemplating moving there and I'm not.

Although I think perfection would be finding myself an Irishman here, so I can have the accent around me, and then we'll go visit his family in Ireland. That way I don't actually have to live there, but can still enjoy the country and the culture. Plus, then my Irish man can teach me how to do the traditional dances, and maybe even how to play the tin whistle. Yep. That's all I need. Now I just gotta find him.
