Cheers to all you revelers and cluricauns in your noisy, shamrock-festooned pubs, and the lightning bolt from a shillelagh blasting rod to those who didn’t catch the leprechaun who’s obligated to show you his buried treasure. Next time look for tilted spectacles and silver shoe-buckles and then don’t look away (not even for a second!)

woke up at 1pm, cracked on with some tins of guinness at 1:30 (just in time for neighbours). then started a drinking trek around leeds, ending up at someone's 21st birthday celebration.
i can't believe it's only half 10 and i'm already awake.

oh right so you're american
no, that's rude
excuse my rudeness but i've just never understood this importance people place on (family) heritage and roots... especially those in america..
i believe in living in the present, not the past, but i guess when you have a nation of immigrants, it's probably only natural.
just gets on my tits when some people suddenly assume their another nationality, because of their heritage, even though they've never lived in that country.
which isn't what you're doing..
but what i'm doing is explaining, in a very round-about way, why it's a touchy subject with me ,and why oh why do i even bother

ha..i agree..i suppose that happens most often here in the u.s. because a lot of the people that really are proud to be american are either living down south and still think they won the civil war or are working for the guvmint sending 18 year olds to die in the name of g dubya or jesus...but placing importance on family is fucking god damned the best place to place it...

african, as long as we lived there for the child's formative years, ie 0-20...
although the parents have a big influence, i think it's an influence that's overstressed.. yes our irish values, language and culture would rub off on the child, but only up until a certain age. the kid would be spending more time with friends by the age of 12-13..
I really don't think our nationality would enter into the equation much at all at all. Unless of course we were shunned by the community for some reason relating to our nationality or something, but I know this isn't what you're talking about.

yeah it's odd how we are. there are a good amount of people in the us that actually follow their heritage and stay within "their people" but for the people that don't really (mutts, as jules put it haha) we still don't really call ourselves american because it really doesn't mean anything.
over time, if (and i stress if) americans get more of a uniform appearance and way of life, i'm sure people will be referring to american as their heritage.
all i know is i have a big fat red beard and all my names are irish
