Drinking Games

In my head lately I have been inexplicably coming up with drinking games. Everytime someone lights a cigarette on Mad Men, drink. Everytime Fed Festwick talks about Brooklyn, drink. Everytime BS Girl talks about being a twin, drink. Everytime I say um on the radio, drink. Everytime I go to facebook when I should be doing work, drink. Everytime Barney says legendary on How I Met Your Mother, drink. Everytime I see someone from my French class, drink. Everytime Brook and I have a conversation that no one else understands, drink. Everytime Ted does something stupid in How I Met Your Mother, drink. Everytime Don from Mad Men sleeps with someone inappropriate, drink. Everytime someone in Mad Men drinks, drink. Everytime I reference a television show no one else has seen, drink.

Considering how dehydrated I usually am and that I would do these with water, I really should start doing these with little shot glasses. Knocking it back for my health. Making the day more interesting.

Ireland, Sligo

We went to Derry today, in Northern Ireland. Where Bloody Sunday took place. It was awesome, in the true meaning of the word, not the surfer way. I almost cried. A lot.
On a lighter note... I'm sleeping in a castle tonight! A real castle!

Ireland, UNCENSORED.

I am leaking tea out my eyeballs.
I wish life could be like this always, but with far less rain and bumpy roads.
So, really, I'm just going to buy a tea pot and make myself tea in it all the time, because frankly... my little Asian hot pot does not really convey the kind of I'm Having Tea and Sitting Here Enjoying Myself and My Friends moment that I really want in my life. So. KNOW THIS NOW.
Fed Festwick is a major dick, but I still want to hang out with him. Fed, how do you manage such a feat?

Ireland

I am currently on my friend's mac in the Chicago international terminal waiting to get on my plane to Ireland.  :)  I'm super excited.  Expect good things to come and too many stories.  I am very excited.  
Looooove

My handiness

I put clear nail polish on fortune telling Jesus and stopped him from spewing crack. It was a successful day.

I wish I could get a new paint job

I hate hate hate white walls. I have attempted to cover them with pictures and posters, with much success, but there's only so much one can do! I really just want a crazy colourful room. I suppose I will just have to wait until I go home to my glowing Barney room.

'Knocked Up' was a bad choice to watch with the family


I didn't realize all of the sexual things would be quite so explicit. Lap dances at a strip club was not something I needed to witness with my grandma, mom, aunt, and uncle sitting next to me. Also, the mushroom induced scene was much much funnier when I watched it with my friends. Ulk. Definitely not a fun experience.
