First, a picture post

So, I've been promising pictures, and here they are. I'll post about Belgium posthaste. First...here's my apt!


Yeah, it's dark in the living room. Mostly because all our lightbulbs blew and we haven't replaced them yet. Because Padraig hates us. Okay, he doesn't really hate us, be he's definitely annoyed by us. He left us a formal warning 'cause we dont' like to clean. :)

This is where I shower. It's pretty tiny, so I don't miss my Bloomington bathroom so much :).

And this is where Steph and I sleep. Mine's the bed with the belt on it. Of course, now it's buried under clothes because we have about ZERO storage space. And I"m messy, but whatever.

And here's some pictures with people in them. Mostly me. Because that's who you miss. But some of my fantastic Leeson friends as well.

This is me and Taylor trying to look thoughtful, and Casey and Steph looking really really excited. And we're not even drunk in this picture. Look how full our beers are! Looks like me and Casey and Taylor are having Guinness and Steph is having a Bulmer's, which is this strange apple cider sort of thing. Only with alcohol. Like apple beer. But not. I'm not sure, but it's tasty.

MID-WEST REPRESENT! Me (Indiana) Jess (Illinois) Ryan (Missouri) and Casey (Iowa) showing our mid-west pride on Casey's 21st. That's why she looks so scary. She's scary drunk. PS...look how cute my skirt is! As a side note, this is second picture we took, because Jess totally made the first one say M M M W. Silly girl.

Erin and Taylor doing cute girly sober things before going out. Oh, and Padraig came over and asked us if we were putting on our "hoochie shoes". Whatever that means. He's weird.

Erin and Taylor being ridiculous and drunk. I think she's reading a pretend book, and I'm just staring at Erin O'Connor while she takes the picture. No idea. The transition from last picture to this one...about 20 minutes.

This is me and Howie, founding members of the IES Dublin glasses club. We're the only real members too, because the other kids only wear glasses sometimes. We took this picture out at Flanery's, which is where we went for Casey's birthday. Picture 11 drunk Americans in the middle of a crowded pub just past midnight singing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" at the top of their lungs, and you've got us. There were definitely some people staring.

Taylor and Erin were jealous of the midwestern kid pic, so they rocked out the East Coast.

Drink, Casey, drink!!!!!! This was her last beer, before we went out...and had a lot more. We got her in a cab and safely tucked into bed, so no worries. On to the post about Belgium!
