Rioting in Dublin

This is what's going on. I haven't been out of my room, so I haven't seen anything first hand, but siriaeve came into town for some innocent shoe-shopping and got caught up in it. She's safe with me now, but she explains what's happening much more clearly.

We are both fine. We're in my room at college, and Trinity's behind a big fuck-off wall. We're fine.

niannah, lil_nibbler, any other Dublin people--are you all okay?

This is not something I expected to have happen today.

I'll keep you updated.

Dublin Riots Update

Okay. It's over. Has been for several hours. When the people on the radio went back to discussing rugby non-stop, siriaeve and I ventured outside. We saw some shops along Nassau Street with smashed and boarded-up windows (Oasis! Noooooooooo!) but there were plenty of people about, and things seem to be going back to normal. Almost like nothing happened.

Thank you to everybody who wished us well. It was good, it's always good, just knowing you guys are there.

On a larger scale, the last I heard, some people have been hospitalized, but nobody was killed, so it definitely could have been a lot worse. As for me, I'm shaky and tired, but I think the "we survived a riot" McDonald's food that Siria and I got did more damage to my person than anything else today.

Now...where is the new SGA porn? I could really use some porn, dammit.
