Marina, I had only eight days back in March of '98, but I really almost didn't leave. I sat at the airport all night weighing my options, and have spent a goodly part of my time trying to figure out how to get back there.
Where in Ireland did you get to go? I took a leave of absence from school (one of many) and decided to fly over there with no plans in the middle of January. I ended up spending most of my time on Inis Mor (largest of the Aran Islands). It was the first place I ever hitchhiked and it's only three miles across! Then I just took random buses up into Northern Ireland, down to Mizen Head (southernmost tip) and everything in between. Most painful for me is the knowledge that I'm only one generation away from an Irish passport - DAMMIT.
I'm very smart.

I stayed in Dublin, and spent most of the time wandering the city. It was right aroud St. Patrick's Day, so the streets were decorated, there were parades, and of course, one had to sample all the pubs! 
I did get out to the Hill of Tara and spent an hour or two walking barefoot. Very peaceful up there, and it must have been the way-off season, because I was all alone.
We also got as far South as Wicklow, but had I had more time, I wanted to go West...Shannon, Limerick, Galway. Next time I do get to go, I am planning on spending much more time there. The islands sound like a good idea, too.
I have about 1/16th on my mother's side and 1/64th on my father's, but it only takes one drop of Irish blood to make one completely Irish!

I work at F.C.C. Headquarters in downtown DC, and live just outside the city to the north.
Yup, DC as in Washington. Live in Northeast, work in Shirlington

Did you get a chance to attend the Serenity Now showing at the Arlington Draft House? If you were there, I was the one handing out the Fruity Oaty Bars for each donation to Equality Now.
I live up in the Hyattsville / College Park area. Interested in any Pagan fun events? The Baltimore / DC Pagan Pride Week celebration is just a few weeks away...

PP,
Draft House sold out before I could get tickets. I was mad. I told them they need to have another one soon so I can go but don't think they have.
What's a Pagan Fun Event consist of? I'll have to google the Baltimore / DC Pagan Pride Week and see what it's all about

Well, Mai has a few, from the D*C shindig, but we didn't ask his permission. And there were several at S3 i shoulda got pictures of.
I think its a project for future cons. I think between the girls on this site, we should have most of them covered (the cons i mean, not.. well, as well as the bums)
no if i had them already i would have put them in the BSR for you. I'm generous that way.

Quote:Wise man there.
Next thing you know where casually seeing each other then things get serious, and some point in time, you would call me a pig, throw stuff, and kick me out. Who wants to go through all that. Lets just say, "YOU WIN!"
Quote:but i have to say i'm kinda sorry i missed that part.
We'd start and would be rolling around, your on top, then i'm on top, your on top, i'm back on top, ending with you on top. It might lead to something other than a fight.
The dogs barking thing, I getchya now. Sorry, i'm sure you're a honey.
Wisp -
you have great hair? Really? where do you keep it when you ain't wearing it?

Ok here goes, I'm 23 a female, geek/punk/crafty person. I have horrible luck meeting intelligent men in the PA/NJ area, because I'm shy. I'm am an agnositc, I have a few tattoos, no piercings other than my ears. I like video games, D&D, indie music and going to diners. I read a great deal, I work as a massage therapist. I'm a roller derby girl. I'm very open minded which seems to be a problem in meeting people (example: I went on a date once and the guy started talking about how he hated "fags", I left...). So thats me...anyone in the PA/NJ are who is interested feel free to contact me.
By the way I got 73% Zoe, and thats fine by me :)
Would it be horridly prying of me to ask what part of the PA/NJ area that might be? I'm about an hour from Philly - don't know that I'm particularly intelligent, but after a few past experiences I definitely appreciate open-mindedness in just about anyone. (However my mom was inordinately fond of that adage 'Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.'

My oh my, who'da thunk it. '99 to '00 I was finishing up a forest-tech major at the Thompson School and working my pi-gu off driving the shuttle buses. So Oyster River was your alma mater, yes? Man, they were all over the sports headlines (not that I ever read further
).See above about my present location. ;) Can't tell you how painfully I miss NH, though. *sigh*

Starting a fam
Zoe don't give

I'm from Easton. As far as intelligence goes, I only ask that you not spout Blue Collar Comedy jokes at me.

I actually spent all 12 years at Berwick Academy, in South Berwick, Maine. Do you know it? I think our sports teams made the paper a lot too, although I never read past the headlines either :) UNH has a great forestry program, if I recall! I worked in a marine zoology lab for a summer and met a lot of students in their forestry program.
I miss New Hampshire too, although mostly only because my family and my childhood are there. Truth be told, I'm really only happy on the move, settling down for a year or two and then exploring somewhere new. But what took you away from New England?
I'm very smart.
