My older sister keeps trying to get me to move to Chicago once I have a job and can afford to. I don’t like the idea. 

I hate people. Why would I want to live in a place that has three million of them?  

Because it might have jobs in the field you aspire to go into.

You sound like my older sister. 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

She’s wise to think so. I’m a nutjob.

Pfff, it’s probably fine if they say that they’re a good trustworthy parson.paul-mccartney-thumb_gif  I mean it’s not like someone would lie on the internet.

Question time: 

1. Do any of you ever wake up with a cat on your face? (Or any kind of pet.) (I don’t have a cat, but I’d love to have one, and would let it sleep on my face if it wished.) 

2. Are you sick of hearing Christmas music yet? (This question is not for LPD, cos I know you aren’t.) (I am.)

No as I don’t, thankfully, have a cat.

2. Are you sick of hearing Christmas music yet? (This question is not for LPD, cos I know you aren’t.) (I am.)   

I was sick of hearing it before it all began. Trying to avoid as much as possible so I don’t want to break the tv at work during Eve, Day and Boxing Day. Not working too well tho.

1. Yep. My cat loves me in all the wrong ways!

2. Definitely. I’ve only heard a bit, but mostly from below average buskers, which has spoiled it for me.

1. No furry or feathery critters with me when I sleep. My dog has his bed he crashes on at night.

2. I’ve just started in with the Christmas music. I cranked up Mannheim Steamroller in my car this morning. (There is a bit in one Beatles song that reminds me of a bit in a Mannheim Steamroller song. I just can bring the two bits together in my mind. Hopefully it will come to me during the next two weeks as I listen to more Mannheim Steamroller.)

1. I’ve never owned a cat. I used to have a dog, but she actually disliked sleeping in people’s bedrooms. She preferred to sleep in the living room. I also used to have fish, but obviously that wouldn’t work. 

2. Yes, unless “Christmas” by The Who counts, which it almost certainly doesn’t.

1.  No, I feel like my dog would be terrified to come within a foot of my face, if she was on my bed.  Not that she’s scared of my face, but she’s scared of everything.

2. I specifically didn’t listen to just Christmas music from Thanksgiving to now so that I would not get annoyed with it too early in the season.

Aren’t they mostly all terrible cover versions, though? At least that stuff that gets played on the radio.

I haven’t listened to the radio a ton lately, but in the bits that I have, it’s been terrible covers galore.  I’ve heard trash covers of both “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” and “Wonderful Christmastime ” on the radio, but not the originals.

People need to get more original with their styles.  If you’re gonna cover a Christmas song, put a spin on it.  DON’T cover “White Christmas” and sing it like Bing Crosby, or The Drifters(Yes I heard a cover of The Drifters “White Christmas” on the radio and still not the original), do something, anything, different.  Please!!!

Ah you might have a problem with getting a house in a woods in Ireland, because my ancestors are idiots we practically cut down all of our native forestry i.e. there’s not much forest to be found (fun fact: Ireland used to be covered in 80% forest and this decreased to less than 1% thanks to human and environmental influence- worst case ever in Europe). At the minute we have approx 11% forest cover with our initial aim being 17%.

 

However we have been replanting for the past 30 years or so, so hopefully in about 200-300 years we’ll be back to our covered in forests killing Irish Elk ways, (seriously though look up the extinction of the Irish Elk, the most stupid extinction ever). 

In saying that there are castles aplenty and if you have a couple of €100,000 in the bank you’d be able to get one in the more isolate parts of the country up north in Donegal or to the west of the country. 

If you love views and Celtic music as I say to everyone on this forum, COME TO GALWAY. Sure go to Dublin for 3-4 days, but either go to Galway or preferably go along the southern coastline to Cork and Kerry and then come up to Galway. That’s where you’ll find your “traditional Hollywood Ireland” and there’s less heroin than Dublin (did I say that aloud oops, I mean, Dublin does not have a terrible junkie problem and yes putting methadone clinics in the middle of the city was a brilliant idea, well done government). 

Seriously though, come visit Ireland, it’s a great little country and if I’m in Galway at the time I’ll definitely show you around and buy you a pint.  

Then I’d probably have to plant some trees :’) I hope it’s not hunters =w=

Not yet, no haha 😀  I hope I will have enough money someday though since I fancy a nice castle away from chaos.

I’ve only been to Ireland once but just for holiday with my parents some 10 years ago. Unforgettable! That being said, I think I must have missed Galway since we’ve done just a tour of the Southern part mostly (Dublin, Ring of Kerry, Kilkenny, Killarney ?, Kildare). I definitely have to come back having heard your description of it a-hard-days-night-george-9 My parents have already been to Belfast and around there so they have no intention of taking me therepaul-mccartney Maybe in some years time I’ll get the right spirit to travel alone and will visit Galway 😛  

Long Live The Beatles!

I have been woken up before by my dogs jumping onto my face, but it’s not very common. Stella also likes to wake me up by licking my face, and that’s always a nice way to wake up. 

2. Are you sick of hearing Christmas music yet? (This question is not for LPD, cos I know you aren’t.) (I am.)

1. No because the cats don’t sleep in my room and if they do they’re in their own pet beds.

2. Nope. I love it, and it’s only once a year, so it’s fine.

1.) My cat likes to sleep on my chest instead. Or he’ll wiggle right into my arms. As I sit at my desk typing this, he is sleeping on my feet.

2.) A bit. There are some songs I get tired of, but I can listen to others repeatedly just fine. My friend and I went to the local candy shop and Happy Xmas was playing. I accidentally focused on the music so much that I missed everything she said to me while it was on. Whoops.
