Firsts and Lasts

I just said goodbye to Siria at the bus stop. There was lots of hugging and shouting and waving as the bus pulled away. I am sad now.

This morning, after our breakfast, Siria helped me carry over 25 kilos of books to the post office. And guess what? They no longer do slow boat shipping, so it cost me *almost cannot bear to type this* 219 euro to send everything home. *weeps* Hi, world. I need a job?

But then Siria and I went and bought underwear, which made us both feel better, I think. AND! As I was walking her to the bus stop, we actually heard a Trinity College groundskeeper call out, "Top o' the morning to ya!" to a passing woman--with complete sincerity! Siria, I think, had a tiny, tiny brain aneurysm. Today she had her 21st birthday--she entered her 22nd year in Ireland, on this Earth, and that's the first time she's ever heard a real Irish person say that. It was very special. I feel honored.

But she has gone back to Laois now, and I go back to the States in two days, and I am sad.

Aww :( . Well, god bless the internet, you'll be able to keep well in touch.

That's true. But it's still not the same! *verklempt*

I know :( . It's shit. And I hate waiting and being in limbo too. Watch something, take your mind off it.

Hey, wait, is your name Anna too? *dances dance of the shared name*. Hope you're feeling better. If not, perhaps this picture (http://www.homoerotimuseum.net/gal/gal03/319.jpg) of a certain Pompeian windchime will help. Don't you just wish you were doing my subject?

DUDE. Our name RULES FANDOM. The question is...are you Anna-rhymes-with-banana, or Anna-rhymes-with...um. Well, not banana, anyway?

That windchime is hilarious. My eyes were at first drawn to the bells, so I was like, "Yeah, so?" Then I looked up.

*eyes bug out*

Pompeii was very special, wasn't it? *mourns it*

Anna-rhymes-with-banana/spanner/ANA-conda/ANA-rexia/whatever else my lame schoolmates could think of (did you ever get called Anna-spanner? Because I did. All the time. I've no idea why. Perhaps they thought I resembled one). Is there another pronunciation for Anna?

Pompeii was so great. A *flying penis*. With its *own little penis*. Legend.
