I was sitting in my hostel's common room (journaling and absentmindedly eating dinner) and tripped and fell into a two hour discussion with a British man who happened to be sitting there as well. We discussed international politics and I managed to hold my own---who knew I had this many opinions about the ICJ? Also he kissed my hand afterward, which has to be the most charming thing to happen to me in recent history. Now I'm sweetly cradled in wine bed and listening to a recording of the opera I wanted to see...it's okay, actually. Everything is wonderful.

Remember when she was Irish? What about part-Maltese? Oh and how could we forget ADOS BLACK!
Today, thanks to Wannabe Activist & Soho House closet homosexual, Misan Harriman, who has a chip on his shoulders the size of a boulder, the Meg is also NIGERIAN.
Misan's father (Chief Hope Harriman) became a wealthy British - Nigerian businessman who amassed wives and even more children
Perhaps Misan's genealogy is the reason The Meghans feel comfortable denying the existence of any Markle "siblings" as Misan was born to an unacknowledged woman
Although Misan carries his father's last name (Harriman), Misan is never formally named amongst Hope Harriman's children and is viewd as a bastard child of the Anglo-Nigerian
Misan and his Black Activist Sistah Space friend Marlene Headley aka "Ngozi Fulani"
MEgain pays Misan back for her 'pay to play' debts w/an appearance in her Finding Freebies book. She acknowledged his fledgling website & his job as administrative support to the global BRITISH POLO DAY :
2014 Divorced, cheating on Chef Cory & making a beeline to the BRF via Sparry
MEgain rejected the help of every assigned mentor including Lady Susan Hussey
Misan became a "photographer" JUST IN TIME for MEGXIT & MegFlix. These 2 photos are unedited, doubt they were published by the fraudster, Misan Harriman

2. i think people get too weird about this i’m being honest. i think it’s good as an american to have at least a LOOSE appreciation and understanding of both and metric is already used in the USA and globally for scientific stuff so really what it is is about. communicating an idea. as long as your audience understands what information you’re trying to convey, i don’t care HOW it’s conveyed ya feel. it’s just a cultural difference in methods of communication! and that’s okay ! that being said sometimes y’all will drop celsius temps on me and i will have to google it
2. charlie is MINE and he is a RESCUE and he is a spoiled little boy prince who has never learned manners in his life. we are working on this. he’s chronically getting into trouble because he’ll do things like see a copperhead and go AH! a FRIEND ! and get his ass bitten. so he has a lil scar on his face. lexie (we call her leisl a LOT) is the family dog and she has the kind of sadness you only see in stained glass windows. she also loves to murder groundhogs it’s awful. velcro dog to the max LOVES to people please acts like she’s been SHOT if we are on the other side of any door. love them. both are insane and active and my darling beasts who scream at me 24 hours a day

#OTD in 1848 – The tricolour national flag of Ireland was presented to the public for the first time by Thomas Francis Meagher and the Young Ireland Party, in Dublin.
In 1848, Thomas Meagher and William Smith O’Brien went to France to study revolutionary events, and returned to Ireland with the new Flag of Ireland, a tricolour of green, white and orange made and given to them by French women sympathetic to the Irish cause.
The acquisition of the flag is commemorated at the 1848 Flag Monument in the Irish parliament. This flag was first flown in public on 1…

@biiigtime , bc i had to.
there's always featherlight touch with her. despite knowing all too well how strong, sturdy the irish woman is, his fingers meet her flesh like she's made of glass, comprised of the finest china. slow, silent blinking as the back of knuckles find skin of face. for a while, he hadn't said anything, hadn't needed to ... not yet, not when he's perfectly content just admiring her.
rain pelts furiously against window above them as they occupy the couch. so much for going to the gym today. finn supposed that would be fine, more than so even if it meant spending more quality time with becky. finally, he finds it in him to speak. " ya up f'r a day in, love? i can order us some takeaway ... put on some pearl jam, have some time ... just you and me? "

Hozier Concert Tickets for Sale!
Hello friends! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been meaning to post on here for far too long, especially now that Hozier is coming out with a new album and currently on tour!
Speaking of which, I have two tickets to see Hozier LIVE at Malahide Castle in Dublin, Ireland!
I unfortunately cannot go anymore and Ticketmaster has barred me from reselling the tickets as of a few days ago. :/ They are $50USD each and I can transfer them to your ticket master account once we figure out a payment method!
Getting the money back would be a huge help to me as I’m currently unemployed and living off of savings right now, so small luxuries like being able to see Hozy in concert unfortunately cannot happen for me anymore. 🥲
Thanks for reading and/or sharing this! It means a lot :)
