All you REALLY need is some good laughter and some good irish music on St. Patrick's, - though I know I will be argued with that green beer is necessary too. I'd say maybe a little irish decor or food helps, but really just having a good time. That's what I did today (and of course I wore green, but oddly enough on accident), and it was fun!
I was rather excited to discover the other day while talking to my mother and sister that I am 1/8 Irish! That's the most I am of anything, tied with French. It also explains why I have such a deep desire to go particularly to France and Ireland.
And for the rest of the night, while falling asleep to my irish playlist I will listen to distant (and near) sirens, of cops pulling over all the people who use this day as an excuse to get ridiculously drunk. I will be serenaded by Damien Rice and Glen Hansard.
Off to go watch a French movie...
