i'm finding myself in a dublin hostel after a week in france.
traveling to orleans, tours and paris. a few days at a time. seeing things. not seeing things. but i suppose that's another story.
i got really upset just before my flight from paris to dublin. i asked myself, 'what the fuck are you doing going to ireland? what is there for you? shit weather. shit food. probably lots of ass holes. what are you doing? why are you not in spain? why are you not in greece? italy? portugal?"
i dont know the answer still, but when i got off the plane. out of the airport. off the bus to the city. i felt good. i was over-come with... comfort? i don't even know what that means, but i was happy to be here.
i soon realized, however, that this may have been the wrong place to go alone. (i mean, i guess everywhere is better with someone else.) but there are lots of pretty things, and i know once i get out of the city and down to cork and to the west coast, there will be many more pretty things.
at any rate, it's really lovely here.
and i don't know what my deal is as of late, but i'm really fucking into white boys. i don't really know what that means. i've always liked darker complected people. and if not, certainly not considered 'white boys'. (and i've never dated anyone that ive ever really been physically attracted to, if anyone was to cite those things.)
but, shit. irish guys (25+) are... i don't know. there is that whole attitude. that undeniable swagger. that jaw structure. the fucking attitude. the semi-short, muscular build... it's...
i don't know. this is all very new for me. i've never been known to "swoon" over such fair complections, such closely cropped hair, and crooked smiles.
i've been suffering similar attractions in germany. and, i supose, the world over.
fuck.
but that's enough of that.
..i've just lost my train of thought.
i've seen so many things in such a small amount of time i'm hoping i'll be able to digest it all.
i had lots to say, but i' ve drifted.
love from rub-a-dublin,
tg.

I miss youu :[
but I hope you are having a lovely time! I will come visit soon, I promise! I found cheap air-flights to Berlin and I'm going to start working again soon.
:] LOVE YOU!
you are in one of my most favorite places in the world. seriously, ireland is magical, in a way that's untouchable by the swarthier mediterranean locales. cork is the where one of my favorite writers lives (william trevor). there are so very many colorful doors in that city!! kiss the blarney stone. go into any pub and you'll immediately befriend some drunken irishmen, young or old. and gurl, i kNOW WHATCHOO MEAN. young irish men are ridiculously, insanely hot. i was stupidly attracted to everyone in dublin. and at the time, that was with a dreamy freckled irishman of my own on my arm. ah. anyhow. it's a magical place. ENJOY IT! go bike riding in the westernmost city in europe (dingle)! eat lots of full irish breakfasts! drink guinness & black currant! and then report back on all!
(is this comment long enough! i don't think so!)
