How I did it
It made me
Feel awesome 
How I did it: I discovered the wonders of the 3 for €10 table in Byrnes (I usually hate that evil, evil shop, but there are some real gems to be found.) and 2nd hand books (Places like Chapters in Dublin are amazing and random charity shops can be great as well), went to the library a lot and I read a few ebooks on my ipod with the hand of some nifty pdf-jpg software.All my newly acquired books are taking up a lot of room though - I think I'll be… Read how I did it…

I think we went to see Lord of the Rings. =] Read how I did it…

Did anyone else find this really difficult? I’ve sat down a few times over the past few months specifically to think about this and come up with almost nothing.
11. That I can love the Irish language without being a crazy shinner or being afraid of people assuming I’m a crazy shinner or a wannabe yuppie.
12. While I’m on the topic of the Irish language, I also love that I haven’t come to despise it considering the amount of animosity I had towards the way I came to speak it.
13. My taste in music.
14. My upturned nose. (Screw you, childhood bullies! I think it’s cute. =P)
15. I’m childlike without being childish.
16. My post braces teeth. (Only one more session!)
17. I’m a very liberal hugger.
Ugghh...
