Dear Internet,

We are now within spitting distance of three weeks to St. Patrick's Day. As such, please be aware of the potential for outbursts of extreme Irish Rage, and carry your hard-hats and wank-brollies with you at all times.

Love and kisses,
Sophie

oh no, not at all. XD i need something to take my mind off this evil html project where things are moving by 3 pixels for NO REASON AT ALL.

pretty bad, huh? this woman wasn't even that old, somewhere between 40 and 60 as i can remember, so there's basically no excuse at all.

I remember when my American relations came over a few years ago and they were shocked we had a working computer and internet.

I joked we'd got running water five years before, but they didn't laugh. Possibly they might have thought I was serious.

i was about to make a yes-irish-people-have-the-internet joke about my html project there, but i thought it was beneath us both but dear god you actually have a real story about that and i am not nearly as surprised as i should be.

possibly they might have! that's so alarming, really.

also, i have to ask, who is that in your icon? i am staring at her.

Very few things about Ye Olde Ireland surprise me anymore. :/

I... have no idea, lol! I got the icon from a fairy tale fashion shoot from [Unknown site tag] (tag: fairy tales). I think she's supposed to Sleeping Beauty, but I took it because she's, well, pretty. And the rose. XD

i'm sure we're being just as bad for generalizing about the people who believe these things, but really-- i have MET people who think like this. so have you. i challenge them to find the irish person who fits their bloody belief! (in this century, that is.)

oh, right. XD nm, then. yes, very pretty.
