That First Week + rant about old people

Ok, so I've managed to survive my first week in Ireland. Unfortunately, a few things have gone a tad bit crooked; like I haven't actually gone to any classes as of yet, but they sound like fun. I didn't get into any fights at pubs, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, the power in my apartment seems to like going off all willy nilly, especially right after I buy food and stick it in the fridge...

However, all is not lost. As I said before, I live with three irish girls, all of which are very poilite and just a wee bit crazy. And since I'm talking about irish girls, wow. They are friggin awesome. They also seem to love tiny little skirts and balck stockings, which is a cultural phenomenom that I really hope catches on in the states. I am a little sad to see that my repuatation from back home managed to find it's way to Ireland, still not sure how that worked out, but oh well.

So all in all, I've enjoyed my first week here. Since this is such a short post I'm going to extend it with a rant about old people on the internetz:

Old people (40+) we love you, some of you are our parents or grandparents. We all appreciate the time you took to raise us and the $20 dollars you sent us for our birthdays. Some of you are our teachers or pastors and we thank you for all the time you spend helping us. But, there is something we need to talk to you about... It's the internet, I know you never had this growing up and it is new and shiny, but you need to stop. The internet is not a toy, it is not a dump truck either, it is a series of tubes. And it has age restrictions, I know you all want to have your own blog, or facebook or xanga. I know your eyes get all bright and happy when you click on flashing ads on the net. It's cool, it's hip, it's now. However, we the children of the late 80's & 90's, must ask you to stop. It isn't that we don't love you, it is just that we can't be facebook friends, which means we can't be friends in real life. We know this is hard for you to understand, but listen we explained how to use email to you enough times, even showed you how to attach files, but social networking sites are off limits. Please, if you respect our internet territory we will show you how to order Murder She Wrote and Matlock from Amazon.com or Ebay.

Thank you, Sincerely, People under 30
