Images to make...

"We want our island back." -- the snakes

I'm now seeing the mental image of a complex Celtic knot, scaled and with a snake's head and tail, probably either a star shape or a shamrock shape knot, with the legend, "Irish, Pagan, and Proud", or some such thing. I could actually see a star-knot snake being done in enamel and being very, very gorgeous and subtle and hilarious.

My father tells that two Fayoumis-clan brothers came over at the time of the potato famine. My paternal line clan is Scotch-Irish. My maternal line clan is Finnish. I've got the fair skin and the dark brown hair.

I've conducted a mental search of my closet and concluded that really, I may well not have anything that's strictly green to wear today. Eeep. I do have a button-up dry-clean-only skirt that has red flowers and green leaves on it; I should wear that, with a pretty soft velour top and perhaps green beads in my hair.

Part Irish, Pagan and proud. Or something. You'll notice no St Pats celebration from me.

The amusing thing here is that, unlike most of the US, the people celebrating St. Patrick's day (also: get blind drunk day) actually /are/ Irish.

Well, at least some of them are.

Sounds like fun.

othercat, being neither Catholic nor Protestant, wore neither orange nor green. I was amused.
