Stablesss

So, this girl Rachel (my super twin as they call us) and I have planned to go out and have fun here in Ireland, but tend to fail each time because we don't want to drink, do not want to pay to drink, do not want to dress up like the Irish girls do or by the time we make up our minds everyone is already belligerent and it would be no fun and we end up staying in (or just walk around campus). But tonight we went to International night at Stables, the pub on campus. It was so much fun! We thought we should stand by the bar to see what happens, immediately these two guys were like choose the shot -anything but tequila- and Ill buy us each one because I need someone to take a shot with. We were like how bout something Irish. So he ordered each of us a Baby Guinness. It was adorable and literally looked like a shot sized Guinness, it was a shot of Tia Maria with Baileys on top to make it look like the foam of Guinness. It was tasty.

Then Irish music started playing and Diggy (yeah, that's his name) pulled me from the bar and attempted to teach me to jig... moral of that story: I need lessons.

I am for sure staying in that Irish music and dance class just so I do not look soooo ridiculous in front of these Irish boys. It was a failed attempt but the most fun I have had dancing like a tard in a loong time- actually ever. It was really fun tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lcnvd8BNFE&feature=fvst   Love this song too!

I got called baby Shakira by 2 different guys and pint-sized Shakira by another. I heard people callin' me Cali, Chicago (?) and boom-shaka-laka.  They all rubbed my hair too when they would walk by as if I am a dog or something, not really sure how to read into that gesture, so I just threw my hair up since it was getting increasingly larger as the night went on.

Melanie and I are planning out spring break trip to Sweden and Greece, and I could not be more excited! (Jess, or anyone- if you are coming to Ireland for my spring break, you better let me know ASAP before I buy tickets!)

I would say it was a successful night. Diggy (also one of the coaches? I guess for that Gaelic football team) got on one knee in the middle of the Student Union quad and asked if he could take me to the Irish cinema or if that would be a bad thing...  [adorable] Then he went on to explain that some girls make guys go over little bumps to get to them,others small hills, some mountains and so on.  He said that there are bumps, hills, mountains, mt Everest, mt Kilimanjaro, the Dali Llama's hut in Tibet and then the moon to get to me.... I think he said that because every time he tried to talk to me I just laughed because I can not understand him at all. Oops. I feel bad, but I only understand only every 3rd word maybe. So I laugh and nod and just have to hope he isn't asking me any questions. I hope I only agreed to the Irish Cinema now that I think of it...ha (just kidding family!)

Move in day... :] Going with the Blue Room!
