Ryan popped back into my life this week. He's still with Karla and still living in Florida. Eh.
I'm doing laundry for free at my mom's (thank you mom) and champing at the bit to go see Jason, whom I haven't seen for 4 years. I have no idea what we're going to do...I've left it to him to plan the day.
Todd is a surprising person. He seems so sweet, quiet, and unassuming. When you get to know him, his passion and ambition come to the fore. I like people like that. He's like Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate; you never see him coming.
Someone flamed me over my St. Patrick's Day post. Yes, I am aware that I should be celebrating my Celtic roots. I do this year-round, not just once every March. That would be like only giving on Christmas, or only being grateful on Thanksgiving. Besides, the day is a non-event in Ireland, where being Irish comes from. Yes, I am aware of the metaphor of St. Patrick. The day really celebrates the Christians driving the Pagans from Ireland. Wait...I'm supposed to celebrate THAT??? First of all, I'm more Pagan than I am Christian. Second (these are not in order of importance), you're talking about CELEBRATING people inflicting suffering on other people. Why the hell would I celebrate that? I'm part German; should I celebrate the Nazis, too?
