Hey hey, i hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, "holiday" and so on. I'm hanging around the house doing a lot of nothing. it feels great! I haven't worked ou in a loong while, so i think i'm gonna go ride the bike for a while...and then maybe pump some iron. HAHAHAHA...yeah right, maybe not. whatever. Here's a pic of my new hair! I got a makeover! Feels good to look different. Blah, i don't have anything to say. Oh wait...i'm watchign a tv show and they are talking about men who sag their jeans/pants. really why wear pants at all if you're going to wear them below your butt. I can understand wanting to wear baggier pants, that's fine, but if you're going to wear them off your butt, isn't that why we wear pants anyway...to cover the unmentionable spots? so what makes it ok to wear pants when they show off those places in the first place? Oh i dunno. Just look at my new hair. hahahaha

Christmas was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who made it great! it's wonderful to be home again! Missed you all!

i belong in Ireland...even their cars think so.

well, i am on my way home. i'm halfway home to Minnesota. I am sitting at the Washington D.C. airport...i have a 5 hour lay-over and so i'm just chillen here against the wall chargin my phone and playing on the internet. i wish i had a soda or something. anyway, i spent the last 5 days with Jamey and our Buddy Jesse Ross. We had a blast. i got to see some old London friends before i left today and spent time with some new ones....it was just an incredible trip all together! Here are some pitures from Ireland and the like. if you know me, you'll get to see more later. i can't possibly put them all on here right now. *sigh* bored bored bored

This is my Hostel that i stayed at in Ireland!


This is the Acting School i attended...it was small and quaiint, but it did the job! I miss you Gaiety!


this is my group PLUS patrick, (the man with the glasses next to me on the left) and Martin (the man with the crazy hair on the other side...near Judy..my Prof from home)


This is pretty dublin scenery!


Here is a picture of two beautifully pored Guinnesses at the Guinness storehouse...where they brew the stuff. (it's a thick beer...i tried some!)


there's more where this came from!

Hey kids....i come home in a few days. Let me tell you...i have very mixed feelings about this. i have been gone for so long, i think i will like being home, yet i will miss this place sooooo so much. I might add that i am missing Dublin a great amount. that is an INCREDIBLE place. too good to be true. i had the most amazing experience of my life there. and i am soooooo so sad to have it be over...maybe it isn't though. maybe it isn't. who knows. anyway, tomorrow i'm going to take jamey and jesse to Stonehenge...i've been already, but they really want to go, so we'll go. tonight is a night in...should be a good time. anyhow, we're all sharing the computer time, so i'm going to let this one be done for now. see you soon! I leave in 2 days! ugh.....

jamey, why you call everyone lame? hehehe...i'll try not to be lame, but i do want you to know that you're coming to Europe in less than 72 hours!!!! i don't even know exactally which day it will be for you! but i can't wait to see you!

as for me, i'm done with the Gaiety School of Acting, and i'm glad, yet sad at the same time. it's been soooooo much work, but such and amazing time as well! I'm soooo very glad i did it. i feel amazing! I fly out of Dublin tomorrow night to spend a week in London with my brother. my dear sweet brother and Jesse! I am soooo thrilled!!!! but you already knew that! Anyway, i am about to head out to a christmas party with the Gaiety second years....will be an awesome time! I'll see you all in about a week! Think the 23rd! MISS YOU!

dad, i had a dream last night..and it made me scared of you! i dreamt that you and i were joking around and you were jokinly going to cut off my finger, but you expected me to pull it away before you sliced it off with a butcher knife...well i didn't realize what you were doing and you cut off the top third of my right ring finger. Not only that, but you wouldn't take me to the hospital to have it sewn back on...so it healed over (rather quickly) and there was still a bit of bone sticking out the top. pretty sick. don't do that to me ok....in the workds of Gilda Radner, "Don't ok"

thanks!

all is well...only 3 days left here then it's back to London to see Pook! Can't wait!

almost done with Ireland! i can't really wait to get home. i mean, i can't wait to get back to London, and then having Jamey there will be excellent!!!! ok, well i don't have a lot of time to type, i need to go memorize my lines...for some reason the word vegetable just popped into my head! hehehehe.

Oh, and there's something else. Father, i'm scared...Last night i dreamt that you cut off the top third of my ring finger on my right hand..like sliced thru the bone and everything and then wouldn't take me to the hospital to have it sewn back on...so it healed over witha bit of bone sticking out the top of my finger...it was horrible. so don't ok? in the words of gilda...don't ok!

Guess what i just did...i just ate a whole footlong subway sandwish by myself in one sitting! I think i'm malnourished over here. hahahaha...no, that's not the case, i'm just really hungry all the time!!!! and all i can say is thank god for refills on soda-pop! I have my trip to Galway today. That should be a good time, i hope. I am ready to come home though. it's been great, it's been fun, but honestly...even to get back to london and spend an entire day by myself....then to have a week with my brother and Jesse Ross...it will be incredible. Anyway...i'm going to refill my soda-pop and then enjoy it while doing other things on the internet...things like look at my banking!!!!

I saw you again last night, only this time, she was with you.

I love you.

ok, so here is a blog for all of you! I've been in Dublin for a week not and i'm ready to come home. I don't know. It's nothing too incredible here. We leave tomorrow evening for Galway, Ireland...supposedly that's a blast and a half! but i don't know. we'll have to see. Did you know that many of you (family members) are hard to shop for for Christmas. Ugh! Oh well, you get what i get for you and you'll like it! if you don't like it, don't tell me! hehehe. anyway, i have a ton of lines to learn and things of that sort. there is a lot of work to be done for this theatre workshop that i'm taking part in. of course there are those who whine and cry because they don't have enough lines or they are overwhelmed, but i say, if you're unhappy about it, then do something about it. don't complain to me because there is nothing i can do for you. this is YOUR experience, so make of it what you want out of it. that's what i'm trying to do..even in my condition, which, by the way, is tons better. head doesn't hurt, tailbone hurts some, but it's all getting better and i realize that my butt won't feel better right away. I wish i was able to show pictures on here, but i don't have internet on my lap-top and i forgot to pack my little photo transfer device thingy...so i couldn't put my pics on the computer anyway. whatev. sounds like my family is doing well. and i'm glad! I miss you all and i will be seeing you in 2 weeks!!! yes, TWO WEEKS! just you wait!

muhahahahahahaha

everything is wonderful here for me! Miss you all!! (only 15 seconds left!!)

well, i got booted from my hostel today. I have to wait until 3pm before i can go and move into my new hostel. so i'm at the internet cafe waiting the time out. it's only 11:30am here right now, and i'm bored out of my mind. I did meet some girls from America that are staying in the hostel that i was at and they are pretty cool. we went out dancing last night. it was pretty boring though, not because they are boring, because they aren't, but because i wasn't feeling well and i was really tired. So it was not too exciting. i had fun getting to know those girls though! We met a couple of English boys on our way home. They walked us back almost all the way to our hostel, but we came upon their first. they were really nice guys! One of them was missing some teeth. it was pretty gross, but the other one Louis, was really nice and had nice teeth. hehehe. they were funny guys! Anyway, i burnt my mouth on coffee this morning and i'm not very pleased about that. that never feels good. Gosh i feel like a tool, i'm sitting here in an internet cafe with my suitcase and backpack and it's just so rediculous. i feel rediculous. i want to move into my new hostel and get a bed and then sleep in it. I'm sooooo tired. Most of you knew that i fell down the stairs the other night, well i haven't been the same since. i can't seem to keep myself awake. I'm awfullly tired all the time. I had to force myself to be awake and energetic at all last night with the group. It was Tim, Steph, Me, Sydney, and the three girls from the east coast. i was pooped...still am. Ugh, well i suppose this is going to be costly for me, i think i've been here long enough. i should think about wrapping up my time here. But it's so warm and cosy in here. the music is relaxing too, real christmassy and such. I WANT MOM'S CARAMEL ROLLS! i can't wait! they better be extra caramelly...(i know the diff btwn CARMEL and CARAMEL....Carmel is the solid form, Caramel is the liquid form...why do we need two names? I'd still be megan if i were liquid. whatever...the world can never be simple!) Welp, i'm off...have a good one!

Well, i'm in ireland now! weird huh?!?! I met up with Timmy and Steph last night and we went to Hardrock to eat foooood! then i went back to my hostel and went to bed. I slept until 9:30am, got up had some breakfast with tim and steph, then i went back to bed. like a tired little girl ought to. i woke up, showered and got ready in the crappiest bathroom i have ever had to shower in and then i left. it's raining here of course, so i walked down the street to a bakery, got another yummy sandwich and a soda-pop and came to the internet cafe. i plan to go and maybe look for a book later on. I'm really dying to read something. I've got nothing to do and i don't know what to do with myself. Gaiety school of actiong classes start on Monday i believe..and i move into my other Hostel tomorrow sometime. I'm not sure when, but i will have to check that out! At any rate...things are good and i've been bumming around Dublin by myself for two days now. i'm so proud! Who would have ever thought that I would go somewhere alone and be able to survive..me, Miss "i can't even get around rochester without getting lost." but i did it..and continue to do it!! YAYAYAYAYA! well, i am going to get going. I have some e-mails to write. Miss you all!
