One of my favorite holidays, being almost completely Irish-American! I hope you all have a nice day and are wearing green!
I, for one, have been celebrating since Sunday, although the debauchery was a bit heavy on that day. I'll go easier this weekend and enjoy the atmosphere! All guiness and whiskey all night for me!
Anyone NYC LWers going to the parade? I wish I could go, but alas, I have work. Funny enough, I bet most NYC LWers that live in NYC might not go since when you actually live there, you don't really think of that stuff...

Big family corned beef dinner for me on Sunday! Corned Beef is one of my favorite foods!

I am wearing green. I don't have any Irish blood myself, but several of my relatives in Philly are either married to Irish-Americans or are partly Irish-American themselves.
But I'm afraid I won't be partying. My Alt ID, Amora the Enchantress, has the constitution for heavy drinking, but my Real Life self does not. I pass out after only two or three drinks.
I know what I'll do to celebrate: I'll re-read my Slaine album and my issues of Starslayer.

Yay!! I this holiday. My one of my mum's best friends is Irish-American so we always used to go to her house for a traditional St. Patty's Day meal-- though I haven't eated corned beef (or any kind of beef) for a number of years. Oh, it was good times. I have so many good stories... like that one time I caught on fire!!
Er, anyway... I only didn't go for the first time in as long as I can remember last year, instead I visited an Irish friend and we drank ourselves stupid. Also fun!!
This year, it's a roommate's birthday so who knows what'll happen? That said... I doubt I'll really do anything too exciting. I'm just lame like that and it's the weekend before finals. Probably just a green shirt and a few green jello shots for me...

How appropriate that this thread was started by the master of blarney himself!
SPECIAL note to any posters or lurkers in eastern upstate NY or southwestern VT: All Stewarts shops are giving away free ice cream cones to anyone wearing green.
Have a good weekend, all! Drink and be debaucherous; help show that stoic humorless dead saint that Irish hedonism survived, despite his best efforts!
Meself, I'd stay away from green beer, tho.

Had a huge corned beef and cabbage dinner, and a pint of black & tan... had a long drive ahead of me, so I couldn't have a second pint.
Plus mom made me a loaf of Irish soda bread using my paternal grandmother Alice's off-the-boat recipe.
Have a wedding to go to tomorrow, so that'll be my real drinking day (no driving!)

Don't drink. Not Irish. Not Catholic. Don't trust little people. Not lucky. This day blows.

Had a LOOOOOOOT of Guiness last night. Actually, I literally had about 12 glasses. And actually, I literally also had about 6 car bombs. I feel a wee bit unsteady today.
Corned Beef and Cabbage tomorrow with Irish Soda Bread! My parents grand-parents were all Irish immigrants so I'm ready to enjoy the Irish festivities
