ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old Irish girl living in Paris, still not really sure what I'm doing with my life (should I know by now?) but trying to figure it out! I love life and meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”John Lennon

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein

Edward Dahlberg:
"When one realises that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels"

All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure. Mark Twain

- chocolate...is that a philosophy?

dream as if you'll life forever . live as if you'll die tommorrow
(read it on a poster)

despite everything i believe people are really good at heart - anne frank

if you're going through hell, keep going - winston churchill

"I wish you happy days full of adventure, mostly I wish you to learn the lesson of acceptance as only through acceptance you will find the secret of existence and you will be happy in a crowd or sitting alone and you will use all that happens in your life, your joys, and your sorrows, to become a better person, so that even death at the end will be good, because it is part of the game" Kuki Gallman

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT (embarrassed to admit i heard this most inspirational of quotes on the OC...)

“Never run after a bus or a man. There will always be another one.” Old Irish expression.

Interests

Watching paint dry, long walks, handstands, finding money in unusual places (it happens me a lot for some reason!), studying, copious amounts of sunshine, good books...not bad books though!! and especially not evil books!! aaaagh!!, and laughing at my own jokes (no-one else seems to laugh at my jokes and it fills the awkward silence that follows)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: sooo much music...Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Neutral Milk Hotel,

Books: Reading Lolita in Tehran, To Kill a Mockingbird, Haruki Marukami books, A thousand splendid suns, Wild Swans, Vermilion gate, other books about history and China...

Films: Goodbye Lenin, the Lives of Others, Michael Collins, In the Name of the Father...lots of others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a squirrel eating an ice cream cone in Ravenscourt Park when I was younger!!

Saw a pigeon in a similar situation.

Lasted an hour and twenty minutes on the hula hoop for my school sport's day!! Now, that's stamina!! Won a mars bar...think I deserved more for that great achievement, but I graciously ate the mars bar anyway.

Oh and Intercourse, Pennsylvania-we got fridge magnets that said 'I love intercourse'...one might say I put intercourse all over the fridge but that's just being dirty!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Lots of stories and jokes to share!
