So, whilst the 'actual' day has passed, today is the actual celebration day around the world. The day that we all go out and claim some kinda irish heritage, and get drunk. I wish you all a great day I myself will be out in town celebrating from about 9:30 in the morning, expect pictures to update this thread tomorrow! It's traditionallyl a hevay and good day for my friends and I, we went to St Patricks hall here at Uni, and I'm half Irish, so we see it as a proper tradtion to get as blasted as possible! Enjoy yourselves, drink responsibly, and report back with your antics!...
I almost left the house not wearing green on accident, but I was warned before I left... nice to know I have people looking out for me. Other than that, since I can't drink, I cannot honor my Irish heritage.
I'm half Irish and I normally do not take part in such shennanigans. That being said I just got back from my lunch break where I had corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and soda bread to eat. It was all washed down with a pint of Guiness and a pint of Harp dyed green. Happy St. Pattys my friends.
I've got my green button on that says "Kiss Me, I'm Irish"... The funny part, not 1 drop of Irish in me. It's just for funsies. I plan on drinking later, but I don't think our bar will have green beer. So our official drink will be Midori Sours!!!!
It never fails to astound me that people celebrate the life of the one man who brought Christianity to Ireland and set the foundation to preserve learning during the Middle Ages by getting blitzed.
Well, if someone came along and forced christianity on me, I'd want to get sodding drunk as well. I find it more amusing that the patron saint of Ireland actually hailed from Scotland.
Well, ive got the freakin flu and I know I wont be going out or drinking anything. The medicine isnt even green.
I remember back in High School these so called pagans I hung out with were all happy and giggy about St. Patrick's Day. "it's a celtic holiday!" they said. Uh, no <.<; I was shunned and called something like a 'kill joy' when I told them that; "Well, you do know that the 'snakes' that Saint Patrick chased out of Ireland is really a modifier for the Druids and other pagans, right?" ...yeah they didn't know what the holiday was about yet they showed more enthusiasm about St. Patrick's Day then they did Samhain (Halloween). Bawhahaha. I plan on getting trashed Friday. Not because of the date, but because I can 8} Like I did LAST FRIDAY. Hmm Rum <3. That made my morning. XD <3.
