Nicki =) I hope my fish is still alive... No one ever got back to me on that one... guess I'll find out tomorrow?

Nicki =) HEY! That's what the whole paragraph was about! I thought I could handle not being American for a month, but I cracked after four weeks and just wanted an effing iced coffee without getting a stupid look from the barista! And it was damned good iced mocha! =)

christopher "I'm in a new place, so it's time to do new things." - So you go and get STARBUCKS??! ahahahahhahaha.... you cracked me up babes! Anyways, only a couple of days until you get back home! woooohooo!

Nicki =) Yeah- just don't forget to pick me up! I've already arranged my ride to the Dublin airport with the hostel. I gotta get up at 6am, and my flight doesn't even leave until 10am- rawrgh. Have fun with Transformers! I still gotta watch the first one!

christopher May be different, but at least you are having fun! :D And HA at people hooking up - but hey, maybe its better in Ireland??? Oh, and they were probably totally wasted! I should be finishing up with Order of the Phoenix either tonight or tomorrow! Great book, I'm up to the point where Harry is teaching his own Defense Against the Dark Arts class! Me, Raymond, Kyle, and my Dad are all going out to see Transformers 2 in IMAX on Thursday! I am so excited - unfortunately it's a 2.5 hour show and doesn't start till 1:30 IN THE MORNING! Which means we went get back into Milpitas till about 4:30-5:00am (because the theatre is in Dublin!). BUT - we are still so excited! I probably won't be able to sleep much anyways because I'll be tooooo excited about picking you up! :D :D :D :D LOVE YOU MUCH BABES!

Dad Hey....I posted one message........sorry, I have been pretty busy....not a good excuse. However, I have read all you your messages and blogs.....it sounds like you have been having a great time....maybe too good...:) Anyhow, I have been thinking about you and waiting until you get back. We do miss you. David, Galen and I went camping last week.....we had a good time. I even made it to the top of Vernal Falls....I know that you can go so much further but it was an accomplishment for me. If I don't blog you again till you get back, have a safe trip. Luv, Dad

Nicki =) Most places don't have the iced coffee- no need to since it's always freakin cold here! Except lately it's been really hot.

christopher ahahahahahaha @ naked people in tall grass!!! Oh, and that panini you got from that cafe sounds effin' delicious!... and I didn't know they had iced coffee over there. For some reason I thought iced coffee was frowned on :P

Danny Hello! Just thought I'd drop a line. Glad to see your doing good. If your free the first week in July imma be in Milpitas. I'm sure you will be tired. Holler! haha. :-)

boyfriend points! First of all, somehow I failed to answer the question "2+1 = ?" because it wouldn't let me post this message at first, haha. And I am probably the one who leaves the most posts because I check this, your facebook, and my email religiously ever since you've been in Ireland. haha... so pathetic, I know ;) Anyways, it doesn't really surprise me that the Irish make us look conservative. Like.. California is sooooo far off from many other states in terms of many things (although we still can't legalize same sex marriage, even though a ton of other states have.. .wtf?). I am soooo looking forward to our travels! When I was out to lunch with Sam, I was talking about how screwed I'd be if I failed this last semester... it would ruin EVERYTHING! Boobage on TV in Ireland? Why are we still living here?!?!?!? Crazy "states." Oh, and I've already prepared the shackles for when you get back. I hope you don't plan on ever leaving again? hahah.... Now to build the dungeon... As my name dictates, do I gain boyfriend points for all my replies? :D

Nicki =) Hrm, you're the only one who ever leaves me messages, Chris! =) I heart you!

christopher haha good ol' pepper spray! Try not to get too drunk during your last pub crawl - I don't want you to come home liverless with all that drinking you've been doing! heheh :D By the way, I'be started Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! I plan on atleast starting Half BLood Prince by the time I pick you up - that way I'll be done with that by the time the movie comes out. I am in love with the series... it's ridiculous :P I've also totally dorked out and go a documentary on King Tutankhamun... it's 3 hours long and am watching the entire thing -.- NERD ALERT! ... apparently his name is pronound TU-TIN-KA-MOON. See, you learn something new every day! Love yas! Miss ya stupid-crazy-like!

Nicki =) I'm still with the program at the moment, but Sunday morning I'm on my own. Don't worry, I don't plan on doing any drinking when I'm on my own. MAYBE when I'm with the tour group, but probably not. And I'll be carrying my pepper spray!

bestest boyfriend I know you're totally ending with your class soon enough for the actual study abroad program and will be heading out on your own to do the tour... just wanted to say HAVE FUN and BE SAFE (preferably don't go drinking with people you don't know... haha.. you might end up going home with an Irish family and never come home o.O) I am so bored right now...about to start reading Harry Potter again, I've been slacking on the reading :(

christopher Where are you at now? Did you guys go back to Dublin after leaving Sligo? And damn.. I CANNOT wait for our europe trip to see the beautiful lands!!!!
