ChibiHorsewoman Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 [quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']There's a statistic Chibi(horsewoman) that I can't quote off the top of my head, but I'm sure that at least one person on here as heard of it or knows it. It's an outrageous amount of people claim to have Irish blood, though actually don't have any. Mostly for the "joy of being Irish" I suppose. I know I'm some sort've super low number like an eighth Irish or something to that effect. Nothing worth saying "Hey I'm Irish" because there's too much other stuff watering me down. I'm a mutt and proud of it.[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]That statement was said in sarcasm and with the idea in mind of the Irish saying: There are two kinds of people in the world: The Irish and everyone who wishes they were Irish. Plus I'm mixed too Irish and first nation! And my daughter is a Heinz 57! Wee! But still, I'm proud of being both.[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think regardless of how much (or little) ancestry you hold of a culture, so long as you identify with it and believe it to be a part of yourself you can legitimately call yourself a part of that culture.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChibiHorsewoman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 [color=green][size=4][font=monotype corsiva]Hey ya'll Happy St. Patrick's day. Today is my friend Tom's brother's birthday- the kid is coincidentally named Patrick :rolleyes: Anyways it was supposed to be a happy St, Patrick's day for me because I was supoosed to work the 7-3 shift then have the afternoon (the gorgeaous 60 degrees (15C) and sunny afternoon) off to spend with my daughter. Unfortunately our original HCC quit and the LPN we have over from Buffalo is a bit of a stubborn old nag. Yeah, they even expected me to work Friday after I have a root canal :animesigh. So long story short I get to wear my shamrock socks and my [B]Everybody Loves an Irish Girl[/B] t-shirt. (Too bad I don't have one like the one on my banner because that would kick butt!) and work with my resident director who really doesn't like me too much. :animeswea Ciede Mil File ya'll![/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 [size=1]Apparently my beau wants to go drinking tonight... this is going to be a huge mess. I've never been out on St. Patrick's Day, and I expect this to be insane. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachmaninoff Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Have fun Shy. Don't get [I]too[/I] wasted. =P I don't have huge plans for this evening. The only thing I'm doing is getting together with some of my friends to play games. We'll probably end up playing something like Diablo II. There's a good chance some of them will get plastered though. Any time we get together like that, they usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrina Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 [FONT="Tahoma"]I don't do anything on this day. ^^ I had thought about it, but my friends have to work so it didn't work out anyway. At least I'm on Spring Break and can just take it easy. :catgirl:[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizzt Do'urden Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Spring break is a variable holiday Chibi (hint, hint). My St. Patties day ended up rather drab. Instead of kicking it at a local pub I ended up helping my fiancee study for her final today. I guess some things are more important....but did she have to pinch me [I]after[/I] I offer to help?

Yes! This fall I get to have my first real vacation (holiday) in about 6 years! And Drizzt, she did have to pinch you if you weren't wearing green. It's the rules. :p Okay so now that St. Patrick's day is over, when is the Easter/Passover thread Chibi #2?[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
