Tonight the population of Ireland will celebrate Samhain as they have for hundreds of years. Does anyone else find that weird in this day and age? See, because of the high population of Catholics, we don't have bonfires and fireworks on the 5th of November like the English, we have them on Hallowe'en. Pumpkins and trick-or-treat have only come in fairly recently, and costumes are not big at all. The tradition food is apple tart with silver coins in it, and it's lucky if you find the silver. I kept one of my Hallowe'en five pences pieces for a couple of years once.

I meant to get up early and type out my MRI essay, but it was cold. Meh. Now I'm going to be late for class.

Belated happy birthday to echotiarra!
