And now we have to suffer through the yearly 'you shouldn't celebrate St. Patrick's because it's devisive/sectarian/stereotyping the Irish/any number of other things'.

To which my reply is as such - I would also willingly celebrate:

Saints David, Andrew, George and Leopold (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=301), also Edmund Arrowsmith, very late of St. Helens (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=270) and Cecilia and Jude.

I will also happily celebrate Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Eid, Kwanzaa, Hanuka, Novratri, Divali, Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all. Also Bastille Day, and Independence Day, and Austrian National Day (26th October).

Give me half an excuse and I will celebrate it.

Well it looks like I might well not be going out for St. Patrick's because pretty much everyone is somewhere else. Oh well, I can get some reading and writing (and tidying up) done.

I am spending far too much time thinking about the background of this Reign of Fire fic, so much so that I worry that I'm diverting too far from the purpose of the fic.

WTF!!

Either I'm going mad, or they really are using a slowed down instrumental version of the Manics 'Roses in the Hospital' for the Grey's Anatomy ads.
