Who Dat?
I don't know what came over me...when I'm antsy and bored and just feel blah with life, I tend to do things on the spur of the moment...the above included. Yes, I know...that really is me, and I really did do that. Whoa. Even I don't recognize myself. Call it an early 20s crisis; call it a mindless attempt to revamp my mundane life. Whatever. It's done and I can't go back. But you know...I like it. It's something new and I like it. Sure I know, this is just a temporary solution to overcoming the whole blah-ness of my life right now, but hey, you know, is that really so bad? I feel so punk rock. It's fun. Now I feel like I have to dress the part too. It's a good excuse for a whole new wardrobe. Okay, enough about me obsessing over myself (ha! who am i kidding? that's the reason i have this blarney blog!)....
Hey! Speaking of blarney...it's funny because I just used that word because it was the first one that came to my mind, even though I didn't really know what it meant or even what I meant by it in using it. Huh. Anyways, so I just looked it up and it means "smooth, flattering talk" or "deceptive nonsense." It also mentions the famous Blarney Stone in Ireland. Now, I've been to Ireland and I've actually kissed the eh-Blarney Stone (yeah, yeah, yeah...I know, gross...all those people kissing this stone that is just out there in the open for all germs to cling and grow on...yuck). But you know, I was so young I didn't really pay attention to the tour guide when he was telling the story aboot it and explaining what it meant to kiss the darned thing. I just thought it was supposed to bring you good luck. So like a good sheep following the herd, I hung upside down and kissed the thing. Well, apparently, according to Dictionary.com, to kiss the Blarney Stone means it will make you proficient in the use of blarney. Aha! So that explains it all! All my deceptive nonsensical talk all these years stems from that fateful summer day in 1996 when I kissed the Blarney Stone. BRILLIANT! I love it. I've said before that I'm superstitious and a believer and this is no exception to that. Oh blarney!

(i dunno... i'm not so good at the blarney as mollie). but mollie, please, don't start wearing weird moonshoes or all those other crazy things you see in weird japanese fashion. ugh.
and anyway, the blarney thing - totally makes sense - and yet, should i believe mollie? has she really been to ireland? does anyone else have a hard time believing mollie would let someone hold her upside-down so she could kiss a stone?! is she for reals? or is all this a bunch of blarney too? i consider mollie one of my closest friends, and yet, I sometimes wonder how much of what I know about her is blarney!!
either way, miss mollie belle blarney gamo, I luv ya, and I think your hair cut is super rad, and I especially think it will do you well up here where it is hotter than a lot of things (LA included, from what I can tell from the pretty orange and green map in the newspaper).
HOI HOI HOI

I kid you not. It's uncanny that it's giving me mild diarrhea. Ewe. But you have to constantly claw at your bangs to make sure they're straight and cover your forehead fully. But I like... in a very Japanese sort of way. Karate chop: Hayah!!!
