With St. Patrick's Day coming up I was looking through my clothes and realized the one green shirt I own is at home (I am at school). I'm going to the Renaissance Festival Saturday and it's going to be hot, being as it's Florida, so I would want a tank top over a shirt, so I wouldn't wear that one shirt anyway. But I realized I fail at being an Irish descendant. No green? Who am I?
Anyway, I will amend that before Saturday.
But I mentioned this to my teacher, who has straight-up red hair (I have more auburn type hair although most people insist I'm a red-head) and she happens to be a biology teacher, specifically a genetics teacher. She said that Irish people actually had dark hair, and if you are of Irish descent, but have red hair, then you are more than likely also a descendant of a Viking. I have viking blood. Fear me. Just kidding. I think I'm pretty nice.
Another thing brought to my attention today: The song lyrics to Love the One your With by Stephen Stills.
I always thought it was a nice song (and I suppose that it is a nice song) because of the lyrics/title : Love the one your with.
I don't always listen to lyrics all that closely, but today it struck me that the lyrics say "If you can't be with the one you love, then love the one you're with." Like...what? It's actually kinda sad and kinda mean. 'Too bad, go change your feelings and be with someone else'
Now, at first I was shocked, and then I thought about it, and it can make sense, but am I the only one whose first reaction was to be appalled? Anyone?....okay.
Those were my stories for the day.
Currently reading: The Cocktail Party by T.S. Eliot
