The joys of Paddy's day

Alas, its been a long weekend and one must state that paddy's day celebrations tend to leave the body lacking energy. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. While it was a working holiday, for me anyway, being a barmaid did allow for it to be just that ... as I thoroughly enjoyed working (excluding the odd fecker who's set to disrupt every good night).

I sprayed my hair green and had a fantastic night around my intoxicated companions, inspite of my sobriety. Being a barmaid is a great way to have fun whilst getting payed... how fantastic is that.

I think the best thing about St Patricks day would have to be the fact that it lasts, not one day, but usually three or four. So on the last night of this weekend binge, we (staff and customers) had a lock-in in our bar and hid from the world till the dawn broke the night- over indulging in the green cocktail known as fat frogs... all free of charge. (just hook it to my vains). And who could forget the Irish tradition known as 'the circle of talent' - guaranteed embarrassment for all involved. (my self included- I think I crowed some ballad or other but memory is still hazy.)

so to summarize... I confess to being being completely intoxicated this weekend, which ,to the rest of the world, means that im an alcoholic but to those from the Emerald Isle, it just means that im a social drinker who likes to have a few.

ahh culture, it's a fantastic thing.

well that's it for my first post, still not certain about the longevity of such a craze, but fingers crossed.
