Saint Patty's Day

So whatcha doing besides drinking beer and wearing green?

I'm going to go to my favorite bar (T.C.'s Speakeasy) with my boyfriend and listen to a local band play (The Ragbirds) and drink beer. But not too much cuz I have to work in the morning. BOOOOOOO!

 

probably going to my friends house for her housewarming (well, she hasn't moved in yet, but her bf and their roommate has, and she spends most of her free time there), which involves booze (though not necessarily beer) and food and being silly

 

paddys

im going out to dinner with my mom.

 

I'll be at work for 12 hours that day. I'll come home, eat and go to bed early because I have to work 12 hours Saturday.

St. Patrick's Day will be the day I have 20 years clean and sober.

 

just gonna drink a little bit

 

WOOHOOOOO!!!! Congradulations!!!

 

Thanks!!!

 

I'm going to have protected sex.

 

How is it "Paddy's"?

It's not Saint Padrick's Day! Saint Patty's = Saint PaTrick's

 

I'll be at work all damn day

 

fucking work

 

when is it?

 

march 17th


i think its another bullshit holiday united statesians made up. to celebrate irish heritage, of all things. isnt that ironic?

 

i dunno, i think it goes deeper than that
infact, it was probably created by companies which sell green dye who felt that their profits werent high enough. They figured that since beer is a very good seller, especially on holidays, and that the traditionaly irish colour is green, they would create a holiday where everyone had to drink green beer or be put to death

luckily the latter part of their plans never came to be

 

it is 'Paddys'. i do not know the exact reason, but i know a stereotype for Irish people is to call said person 'Paddy'.

i will probably going to a party, i'm sure there will be lots on, as i live just opposite the coast of eastern Ireland, so i could swim there and celebrate there
peace, love and sunflowers

 

his assumed name of patricius, was of course roman in origen. who was this so called 'saint' patric, anyway?

he was a bloody bastard who slaughtered the druids, who incidently, just happended to have been doing a better job of running erieland better then anyone ever has since (the druids did that is), in the name and for the purpose of course, of shoving christerism down their innocent celtic throats.

innocent? on either side? who'se to judge? i'm not. but at any rate that's who he really was and what he really did.

still the day's a fine excuse to endulge in and enjoy a the silly cleche's about ireland and it's people ancient and modern.

being neither cathlic nor protestant nor christian nor chauvanistic monthiest of any sort, i'll wear the green, and a bit of orange with it too. a pretty combination of colors that is to my mind, and i see no good reason not to enjoy them togather.

legend has it the milsians and the ferbolg were into it long before patricius and his christers came allong. the milsians having colonized northward from galithia, the indiginous ferbolg, a name that means womb of fear, or some such, were of course those who were already there.

and no i'm not eriesh m'self. though i've an ancestor or two of clan ross scotland.

dalriata is the connections there but that's a whole theme in and of itself.

just a little something i researched a while back, for fingol o garranglass, my s.c.a. persona, back when i was playing with that a wee bit.

.../\...

 

working late ): ...

 

I'm going to eat some ice cream cake. Then, I'm gonna go to Paradiso and eat my free birthday dinner. I'll probably end up drinking sometime during or after that.

 

ha, that was amusing to read

Anyways. 9 days to St. Paddy's day. Maybe this year will break the world of calling it St. Patty's Day. I mean folk do realise Patty is a girl's name right? No offence to the females, but someone needs to keep up with Irish name conventions...

(I'm having a problem finding real "proof" that it is spelled "paddy's" but it is)
