I've had the weather for Limerick in my widget for the past couple of months and I shiver every time I look at it. Today's forecast: 32 degrees with snow. sHowzA.
I can’t really remember what it was that first sparked my interest in Ireland. Most people probably have that one place they’ve always really, really, REALLY, wanted to go to. For me, that’s Ireland. And more than just go, i've wanted to linger there, not just pass through and hit all the landmarks. But that wasn’t so obvious to an outsider last Spring when almost one year ago I took off on a plane on my 20th birthday for Costa Rica for 4 months. I've always planned on studying abroad second semester Junior year, but those 4 special months in Central America were a surprise in the plan, an add-on, and what I consider my second chance to go abroad even though it came first.
Anyways, the first sign of my interest that I can remember is being in love with the scene in Titanic where Jack takes Rose down to "third class" for a "real party." Scandalous. It doesn't help that I was also infatuated with Mr. Jack Dawson about 10 minutes into the movie and even wrote down "Rose" as my name on the information page of my journal. Oh, to be 7 years old again. Watch & Enjoy.
I also remember watching Boondock Saints and concluding that I liked it. But then I realized I didn’t really understand what happened. At all. But there was a catchy Irish song before all the fight scenes that I went home and immediately downloaded and could then pretend like I actually owned something that wasn't considered a chick flick by the entire male population. I'm not embarrassed.
