insomnia

if anyone has seen the movie Taken, DO NOT think about the plot before you travel abroad. unfortunately, I didn't take my own advice last night, and have repeatedly (and vividly) pictured getting kidnapped because Maureen thought it'd be a good idea to give some Irish guy our address and room number...

if you have not seen Taken and you are a family member who frequently worries, DO NOT see this movie while I'm gone. all you need to know is that I will do everything in my power to make sure I do not end up addicted to drugs and simultaneously forced into prostitution.

on a lighter note, I'm wearing all green to the airport and painting my face the colors of the Irish flag. there isn't anything wrong with enthusiasm! just kidding--kind of. I have a headband with leprechauns bouncing on springs, and it will be securely fastened on my head for the flight. pictures coming soon.

shout outs:

mom and dad--you guys have helped me tremendously, and I really appreciate it!

julian--don't watch any episodes of 30rock without me. I will find out, and I will not be happy.

jc--I took note of your request. you're welcome.
