Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Being a quarter Irish, which is as much as I am anything and more than I am most things, I'm obligated to mention this. Unfortunately, it looks ike I won't really be able to do much of anything at all to celebrate. No corn beef and cabbage! *cries* I'm thinking I may just run down to Giant and get some Guiness and oven-bake dinner rolls and pretend to myself. Maybe cook a potatoe or two.
I don't even have anything green to wear! My Irish ancestors are rolling over in their beds in the DC Metro Area.

Hahaha! Look at my Ireland pictures. Maybe that will pacify the Irish ancestors. :-) I can't celebrate either though, being the sicko that I am... grar. The first St. Patty's day I actually could LEGALLY celebrate, and no go. The fates hate me. Ah well. :-) Have a good day darlin.

I'll have an extra drink, just for you, dear.

No corned beef or green?? For shame!

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

I *know*! -cries-

Green, beef and potatoes

I'm wearing green, and I'm planning to have beef and maybe potatoes tonight (though not corned beef - never had it), and I'm not even a sixteenth Irish! Of course, the green happened by chance, and the beef is the fresh meat I have left over from grocery shopping. I like to say I'm 7/8 pierogie, 1/8 fish and chips. You can ask what that means, if you'd like.

Dude, if you've got nothing going on why don't you come over to tiel's and mine? We'll be having some corned beef and.. umm.. something or other. Not sure if there's cabbage involved or not. You'd have to ask her. :)

As for no green.. well maybe you can get tiel to pinch you. ;)

Cabbage skeeves me out. Its corned beef and potatos. And its true. *hangs head* I do pinch people who don't wear green.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Skeeves? What is this 'skeeves'?
And hey, it wouldn't be St. Patty's day if uncouth heathenites (like me) didn't get pinched! Y'know, leprechauns and all that. Little people. Beady eyes.

It's one of her words :)

It means "grosses" or "creeps" or even both depending on the context. :)

Well, I actually have class from 5-7:30ish, and you and she will probably be eating well before that, and I'd really hate to be imposing...

But if that's an actual invitation, you only need to ask me twice.  ^_^;;

[tiel.livejournal.com]

Well...how far away from our apartment are your classes? We don't generally eat early dinners and have a few errands to run anyway, so if you can get from your class to our place in a reasonable amount of time, we could certainly wait.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Well, I live on Campus, so not far at all. In fact, my car is closer to class than it is to me room. But, uhm, yeah, I could do that.
You're really having cornbeef?

[quix.livejournal.com]

That's more then fine. Dude I don't usually get home until 7. :) C'mon over!

I've moved a block down the street and on the other side from where I was though. It's now 4607 Conn. Apt 117 :)

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

You know I'm going to get lost. -laughs-
But yeah, if I can get a number to reach you at, it shouldn't be a problem. I checked for your number on my phone, but it didn't make the switch from the one I washed, I guess. You can just Email or IM me a number (both JackOfAllGeeks; I stay consistant), so you don't need to post it here in the open.

:psst: if yer Irish, yer supposed to wear orange.

[bsgnome.livejournal.com]

Actually ...

The colours of the Irish flag (Green and Orange with White in between) represent, in the common interpretation, the Catholics and the Protestants and the lasting Peace between them--i.e. Green is for the Catholics, Orange is for the Protestants, and White is for Peace.

Thus, Irish Catholics wear Green and Irish Protestants wear Orange.

You tell'er, Steve Dave BS gNome!

[quix.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's kind've cool! I didn't know that! I'm gonna wear orange next SPD and educate people that try to pinch me! :)

Ignorant

[emily91183.livejournal.com]

I can say I definitely did not know this before. Thanks. :)

[amazonmink.livejournal.com]
