Hello friends, Just a quick note... Lys, I read quite a diturbing article in Vanity Fair about our pal Michael. Ok, so he is addicted to demerol and morphine, he has had to be carried out of planes before becasue he gets so fucked up. And he's a big fan of Jesus Juice, his own lttle creation--coke cans filled with wine. He gives them to the kiddies too, and tells that its from Jesus so it must be good! I got to get me some of that! Ahh, just made me laugh out loud, and wished you were there!!Michael, michael, michael. Brooke, hang in there. Im sure the language barrier has been a struggle, but the culture shock will wear off, and then probably come back, and so forth. Even here in ireland, it has affected me from time to time, so don't under estimate its power, it can make you feel very sentimental. Please come to ireland!! It would be such a blast to have you guys here!! I am definately going to be in Spain, probably sometime in April. I hang out with this very hot dude, Miguel, from Galethia. The lithp is great. He is a bit, too suave, though, are they all like that?? Kate, when you get a chance, could you send me some contact info for Dave?? The journal's awesome. I miss you all the time, I am managing to stay sane without you around, though! Things here are still very very wonderful. I don't know if i mentioned this yet, but I LOVE IT HERE. Everyday is just simply so enjoyable, I have never felt so relaxed and easy going, and had so many laughs in my life. I have been having an absolute blast with my flatmates, they have truly made this experience so great. We had a nice quiet bonding weekend together last weekend. I am going up to Sligo on the north west coast, to watch Aine, my surfer chic, compete in a few weeks. Going to see Playboy of the Western World, famous play by JM Synge, irish writer, this week, starring Cillian Murphy, the star from 28 Days later. Really looking forward to it. Ok, got to go, heading to the grocery, which is names Tesco. Which half my friends have reverted to calling me, haha they are so funny. Cheers, Tess Quoting "Teresa A.
