Why is it that I always talk like Irish people when I’m around them? I was just speaking to a lady at Aer Lingus and I sounded like I was going home to County Cork to live with my leprechaun friends and wear tweed and talk about how accurate ‘Angela’s Ashes’ is.

Thursday in Bray

Given that I only have class two days a week, taking trips to costal Dublin has developed into a new favorite activity of mine. Just a 40 min. train ride away is Bray. Complete with beaches, boardwalks, and a mountain, Bray made for the perfect day out of the city. 

The Spire! :)

Lads

After reaching the top of Bray Head we made these new best friends.

I’m really enjoy this spell of delightful weather Ireland is having lately :D its kept me in a good mood , despite missing Gord millions :) After hearing the crap my sister puts up with her boyfriend Im a very lucky girl !

Also i have been pull thus far.. im beginning to think going cold turkey on the hair pulling is not going to help im resigning myself to the fact ill possibly pull my hair forever ! And hiding my bald patches by wearing my hair in a pony tail is my only option.

NOW TIME FOR ICE CREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :D:D:D:D:D:D

Umz, I developed my lomo film, so I’m just gonna spam a...

I was conceived sometime around June 1992.
I was born on my exact due date: March 25, 1993.
But it wasn’t until recently that I actually started living.

My mother says that when I was born no one was around
and she named me: Janna Lynn Powell: Gods Gracious Gift

My father was from Ireland.
My father is from Ireland.
My father is not around.

I was watching some live footage from a women’s right campaign in Seattle the other day and this woman who curates a non-profit organization for victims of rape was on the podium preaching:
YOU WERE RAPED BECAUSE YOU WERE RAPED!
NOT BECAUSE OF THE CLOTHES YOU WERE WEARING
NOT BECAUSE OF THE HAIR CUT YOU HAD
NOT BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU LIVE
OR WHAT YOU DO
BUT BECAUSE HE RAPED YOU.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY — You. Are. More.

It was intense.

But similarly
In my own life
I like to think that
I was created because I was created.
I was abandoned because I was abandoned.
I witnessed their actions because I witnessed them.
I cannot control their actions.
I cannot control their words.
I cannot control their happiness.
I had no say in how we lived.
But once I did, I was out of there.
Because — I. Am. More.

Rock of Cashel, Cashel, Ireland, c. 1100s

“The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles(30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock’s landing in Cashel.”

My new Irish friends. So nice
