I missed both of Chicago's St. Patty's day parades, b/c I assumed that it'd be like Cleveland, where the parades were, you know, on St. Patty's day. Luckily, I'll be back home on Friday to catch the parade (I'm half Irish).

I don't usually do anything for Paddy's day, but it is also my friends birthday so I will be getting drunk. I won't be drinking Guiness though! :barf:

Cause my family are Irish, they go over every year for St Paddys day and I havent been over for it in a few years. The atmopshere back in Westport is amazing and cause its a small town, people arent worried about getting drunk cause others will help them back home safely. I wont be going out and getting drunk though, I have some Southen Comfort in my fridge, so that will do me. Bradfords nightlife is bad enough on a normal night, let alone a national holiday thrown in!

Uni were selling Irish coffee, wouldnt have been as good as the real thing. And has anyone seen the Chicago River last year:

St Patricks day was a big thing when I was younger, now not so much. Im older now so my mom cant make me wear an ugly green sweater and a stupid button with a clover to school, because you know you will get pinched if you dont. Probably one of the many reasons why I hate Notre Dame today. I dont know, passing alcohol through my system till I loose control of my motor skills sounds like a pretty good Idea right now.

I will personally assassinate anyone who uses a four-leafed clover instead of a shamrock this year. For the love of God a shamrock only has three leaves! Three!

Either that or I'll just get drunk, as per every Friday night.

I'm a quarter Irish. Saint Patricks is an eh holiday to me. It's good really only because half of the school is gone because the band kids are going to perform in the parade in NYC. :)

EDIT: Well, keep in mind, I'm a 15 year old girl who doesn't drink. How good is St. Patties supposed to be for someone like ME? xD

First rule of the Irish: If you don't get completely plastered on St. Paddy's Day, you're a disgrace to your country.

Seeing as I'm a pure blood Irishman, who just happens to also live in said country, you can pretty much gurantee that today is going to be quite the day for me and everyone else around me... I'll tell you good people all about it tomorrow. Well, if I can remember any of it by then... :D

It's ironic because St. Patrick himself was a strong advocate of temperance, and also that most Guiness is brewed in Nigeria.

Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land

Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song."
