CHEERS everybody!

National Anthem

It's a play by McIntyr and it has Kevin Spacey, Stephen Webber, and Mary Steward Matheson (or something like that)...

I've never been immensely impressed with Spacey - yea yea... i've heard all the ppl saying how amazing he is... but I just was never impressed... last night, he gave a great performance... it was pretty awesome... but the point of this blog is to tell you what happened after the play.

So lot of the IC students are fans of Spacey, so they ran to the stage exit doors to get autographs or whatever - so I thought to myself, oh what the hell... then followed them...

so Mary whoever comes down, sees us, and basically ran the other way... but stephen webber (remember the younger bro in Wings?) came out and shook our hands and signed things... so I pulled out of my bag (which had lots of things in it that I had purchased during the day) what I thought was the program for the play... and as he was signing it, i saw that it was my Chopin piano book!... and I go 'whoa... that's not the program...' and he goes 'Oh, that's okay, it's Chopin...'

Let's take a consensus here... am I not the only FOOL that would ever do THAT... yes... yes I am...

But I guess it just added to the whole experience....

Spacey never came out... and it was snowing... and we were freezing so we just caught our respective tubes and went home... but it was a fun experience.... :)

Just a Note...

I'll put pictures up soon... I've just been really lazy... they're all on the laptop....

Boys and Girls in Green

Ireland.

It is an AMAZING place to be... given that we went to Dublin... where people are nice as they can be and are friendly and welcoming to all... though... there are a lot of doggy doo on the grounds... everywhere...

We did lots of crazy things, but the highlight, at least for me, is going to the costal-line in Sandycove.... it was B-E-A-U-tiful!!! then we 'hiked' which really means climb in Bill's (our director) terms, to some obelisk... but the sight was amazing...

So to get to the airport, we woke up at the asscrack of dawn... i think we left the flat at like 5.30 am or something like that... we got on our tube towards heathrow... we made fun of jeff when we were at our terminal.... then everything after that, it's kinda blurry...

That night [our first night in Dublin] (i'd tell you what we did on the first DAY, but I can't really remember), we did the Musical Pub Crawl... which was fun as hell, and our dear Libby sang Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin, and Kim (a musical theatre major) sang Let It Be... kind of... she was just a wee bit drunk and needed a little help.... there was another girl, Olivia who sang a nice song... just didn't happen to fit a pub... or the mood... especially after Libby's knee-slappin' song... :P

then on the second day, after the sandycove trip, we went down grafton, and other streets and bought little things... i bought some 'folk' music CD and a HAT... muahhaha... good stuff, and then we looked for a place to eat for like an hour before I finally said... we're just gonna eat THERE and just pointed to a place, which happened to be Italian... so we had delicious dinners, then we went to the Piano bar forever (where there was no piano-ing til 1am, we got there at like 8pm...), and had some alcohol... and Jason decided that the bartender was flirting with me, and I was being unconsciously coy... but I think he's just full of SHIT... then Libby wanted to flirt with the bartender.. or wanted to look at him, or something... i dunno... so we sat nearer to the bar instead of the other room... then we drank one more round [(Jason-Guiness,Libby-Cider,Me-bacardi&coke,Momo-had nothin...)x2]... then we walked around temple bar area because i think we wanted to find a place to hang and such, but libby got tired so she went back to the hotel by herself, and jason, momo, and I were just wandering about, when we ran into steph,jeff,amy,and melissa (who is from australia)... so we took a cab together and went to the Palace... which is a nightclub downstairs, bar/poolhall upstairs... we were looking for Gary, who is an IC-er as well, but we were all tired and hung out at the pool hall... jeff and i were gonna play pool, but it cost like €20 or something per hour, so we didn't, and instead, i put €2 into the table game machine and played ms.pac-man for hours with jeff, jason, and melissa... then we left because we were dead tired... then proceeded to pass out.

The last day there, Libby, Momo, and I went to the Guiness Factory..... it's pretty well set up - and it was fun to go to the gravity bar... and belive it or not, i had a very small sip of guiness... which is an amazing feat for me because I don't drink beer.... and yea yea... Guiness is special... blah blah..... and it was gross, but there was a hint of taste that could be enjoyed... I guess.... :) it was fun.... then it was time to go to the hotel to get to the airport...

and at the airport...

There was food poisoning or virus that made people throw up on the previous flight... so we were stuck at the airport for about 2 hours or so... or was it more? but it was crazy fun... I got an Ireland football jersey...!! yay... no one was really bothered by our delay... it was like, the IC group and some Curling team? who were DRUNK as HELL because they had been drinking NON STOP of what else? but vodka, etc... so they got reprimended by the stewards/esses... two kept talking to me.... one of them kept touching my knee... and i was like... wahhhhhhh... but even before taking off, one of the IC girls started to cry and kinda freak out because she's afraid of flying... and I think she has balls for flying to england from the US... that's crazy balls man... but she was fine... yea... it was fun still... except we didn't get to take the tube back because... welll... it was CLOSED... so we took a cab... then we all passed out after jason cooked us chicken because we were starving... the end.

From Paris...

no... not Paris Hilton.... PARIS, FRANCE.

that's right... since thursday night, I've been in Paris, France. how f'd up is that dude?

{So this post is kinda weird because I started writing it in paris... then I ended up finishing it like a week later in london....}

We arrived in paris, tried to buy a ticket sur la machine, but a french dude ended up buying us the tickets b/c you need a card thing if you don't buy it at the window..

so we finally get on our train, and at our stop, i watched fro, the platform as momo didn't make it on getting off the train because... the doors are funny...

so as i laughed hysterically on the platform, getting weird looks from the french... when momo came back on the opposite train, we made our way to our, now this is a loose term... 'hotel'. we were completely sketched out because 1. our hotel is a bar... then we can get to the rooms thru the pink and lavender walls... 2. there was an old man at the tables talking at us, what was mostly insults at me... 3. our room numbers were printed and taped on.... 4. the room... so PINK... 5. the shower had no curtains...

but regardless, we went to sleep hoping that thngs looked better in the morning [it was pretty late whe we got in]...

and indeed... it definitely was - the breakfast was awesome... croissant et baguette...

Paris is really a blur... because we did so much!! I think the highlight for me is well... EVERYTHING....

The real first day there, we did a LOT of things after getting lost a little bit...

I think it was on the first day.. like I said... it's a little blurry... we went to some area near st.paul's and went to a bunch of museums.... they were pretty cool - we saw a place called... pizza momo... which is hilarious.... we went to the Picasso museum... which was AMAZING... anyone visiting paris should definitely make a stop there... I can't really remember what we did that night.... maybe i'll edit this entry after i find out from Momo... Oh! I think we went to Notre Dame... it was AMAZING... it's probably my favorite place in the whole of Paris.... I lit some candles, then bought my mom a rosary... which she's gonna love :D yay.... Momo and I were there for a while, especially because we were trying to take picture of the rose glass without using flash in the rather dark church.... it was after dusk... so it was a little hard to do because our digits kept blurring... then i don't remember where we went... I think it was the Eiffel... the Eiffel was amazing... except that even though I bought a ticket to go all the way up to the TOP, I had to stop at the second stage because... well I'm afraid of heights like no other! so momo went up to the top, i did not.... then we were hungry because we had eaten a really late lunch, so on the way back we stopped at a sandwich place and ate the most delicious gigantic sandwiches... mmmmm... then we passed out...

Then the next day, we spent the entire daylight... at the Louvre... even then, we didn't get to see ALL the exhibitions... especially after i kept wanting to sit because my feet died... but we got to see Mona Lisa, some of fragonard's paintings, a lot of sculptures, more paintings... it was fabulous....FAB U LOUS... We looked around the carousel I think, where there were a lot of shopping things... (this is all attached to the Louvre) then, we made our way to Champs Elysee... looked around some stores... Arc de Triomphe ... the McDonalds there were really clean and fancy and had security guards dressed in suits..... then we went to a pub near our hotel, and had... IRISH coffee... that's right... IRISH coffee... in Paris... :P but it was crazy good and we got to hang out with a gigantic dog and the pub was pretty laid back so momo and i stayed there for a few hrs...

Let's see... oh on our last day in Paris, we went to the Pere Lachaise ... which is where all these famous people are supposedly buried... and I say supposedly because.. WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE ANY OF THEM... except for one... by accident... and it was Rossini's .... oh and i slipped and fell because it was starting to drizzle...and cobblestones get slippery, damn it! Then we miserably made our way to the Pantheon and by the time we got there, we were pretty soaked... so it was more like... look at that... how nice... then I pointed to an English pub next to it and said 'let's go there.' then we ate some good lunch... then made our way to the train station... where I proceeded to write some postcards... No promises that they will ever arrive because I don't know if the post box slot was the right one... then... while we were sitting there, it started to hail... inside the station... so we went to a more sheltered area where we proceeded to wait for the train, then we finally got back to the flat and proceeded to pass out, after telling fun stories...

So.

It's been a while since I've written here... it's been busy and I've been lazy... per usual.

Anywho - lots of things have happened and I don't quite remember what I wrote last time - but I watched the History Boys... and guess who plays HECTOR....!"£$!"$

UNCLE. VERNON. from Harry Potter!

That made the play extra special!

It all fits in you know? seeing Ian Holm at the beginning of the semester... then people from my High School... and now this guy... How... Awesome.

Anywho.... I'M GOING TO PARIS THIS WEEKEND WITH MOMO.

annnnd.... We're going to GREECE for spring break :-o

I can NOT believe those words are coming out of my mouth/through my fingers through the keyboard on to the screen.

Anywho.... I guess not THAT much has happened - but what the hey.

I'm having serious ADD issues at the moment.

I guess I'll write more later?
