I don't exactly know where to start this blog because it really is a mix of about a million thoughts I have. I guess I'll start with the fact that the reason I haven't posted in so long is that it seems I have "misplaced" my camera. It has awesome Fringe Festival photos on it and I was hoping for it to reappear, but alas, it is apparently gone for good. So no more photos from Ireland, at least from MY (deceased) camera.
Right. So. Working at the Fringe was awesome. I got to see a ton of free plays, music, cabaret, etc. And, I met some really awesome people. If I were staying around longer, they would definitely be people I would become friends with, but oh well. There is this guy called "Duke Special" who you music lovers should check out. He is a "kind of hippie" rockstar from Belfast, and he ROCKS. AND, if any of you ever get the opportunity to see La Clique (it's a human circus), it is increeeedible. Unfortunately, it rained every single day that I worked...outside for 5 hours...and now I am sick again.
Tonight my friends and I are going out on the town for a night of ridiculousness. I'm ignoring the sickness because you only have one "last weekend night in Ireland" right? (haha. I feel that I will have many more last nights in Ireland before my life is over. Probably before this year is over, even. I'm secretly, not so secretly, trying to plan New Years here...)
As for what the future holds...yes, I'll be posting pictures of tonight's ridiculousness, courtesy of Mariel's iphone. No, seriously. The future as it currently stands:
- I am coming home on Thursday September 25th at approximately 1pm. I am staying the night at Marisa's and eating at Charm and remembering why I love NYC and Ethnic food.
- I am going to my parents' house in CT, going to a wedding (ON MY BIRTHDAY!), and staying until PROBABLY November 4th or 5th and substitute teaching in gasp, my old high school. gasp.
- I am throwing a fabulous birthday party at Fontana's in Manhattan on October 3rd, and you all are cordially invited.
- I am HOPEFULLY getting a letter from the "UK department of Visas and other fun things" that says that YES, I can come and teach in England! With this lovely letter, I will move to London in early November, live in a house in the beautiful Archway district with a bunch of crunchy vegetarians, substitute teach, and travel around Europe...with many visits to my beloved Land of Ire.
- If the "UK department of Visas and other fun things" rejects me, I will stick around the states, location to be disclosed when my brain has come to grips with the fact that it will not be residing in Europe, and maybe move to Hawaii with Sarah Caufield in September 2009. Cause, honestly, why the hell not live where there is sunshine and surfing and hot, scantily clad men.
I have learned many, many things while living in Ireland (about myself, about the world, about why Ireland rocks as much as I thought it did.), and I definitely have not given up on coming back to live at some point in the hopefully not-so-distant future.
And don't worry, I will do my best to keep you all posted ;)
Love, Sarah

I have loved reading about your adventures. It will be okay for you to return to the USA for a bit... the people who love you will love to see you and you will be happy until your next adventure. Also, I have another idea of what you can do when you return... come visit me in Boston if you have a boring weekend in Simsbury... or maybe I'll come visit you in the 'Bury or somewhere in between. Too bad it's not hot season out and you can't come meet me at the nudist camp. That would feel like going to another country, minus the whole travel fiasco. Haha. Oh well :)
aww justine. You are awesome. Just so you know, I fully plan on heading to visit you while I'm home!
Hey! Looks like we will only be overlapping about two weeks. I have no plans other than packing so let me know when YOU can fit us in!
