Irish language

Moar ramblings... this may not interest you all. I heard on the radio a few months ago that 70% of non-Irish people didn't even know there was an Irish language. That's pretty sad, considering that in the 1800s [don't quote me on that, my history is abysmal] the Irish didn't even know a word of English. They had to learn it, when the English took control of the country.
But that's enough half-baked Queeneh history...
Of course, Irish still flourishes in certain parts of the country . . . Kerry, Galway, other places. People in these places speak it as fluently as they speak English, and students go here often to brush up on their Irish. After all, it's easy to reel off a few verbs in the classroom [mé, tú, sé, sí, sinn, sibh, siad, easy peasy] but how easy is it to find the right word in an Irish-only conversation? Not easy, methinks.
After all, how many Irish people know the word for money? Kitten? We bought? It goes on. and on. and on. It makes me feel both encouraged and irritated to think that no other country in the world teaches its children Irish. It's irritating to know that French, American, Italian classes don't have to worry about amar and eamar but encouraging to think that no other country has the foggiest what you mean when you say Á! Cá bhfuil mo ríomhaire?? Ó, d'ith an cat é. [it means "Argh! Where's me computer?? Oh, he cat ate it." :D, by the way.]
So there I'll leave you. Thanks for staying on till the end, if you did. :)

I've been thinking today. What is a blog actually for? Remembering my old blog, there wasn't much in it about my life; it was more scratching the surface of my life, not being very detailed, rather insincere. Well, this blog will be different. I'm not going to be like Lady Renegade, putting my heart into my writing. I can't do that. It's an ability I will never have. But I will try to inject some of my life into this blog. Summing up what I hope this blog will be: sincere, deep, at least a bit funny. You decide if it's going that way.

Help!! Where's me blog gone!?

It must have timed out or something. In all fairness, I didn't edit much, but it was nice to have. So I have a new one, complete with jet-black background [for now] and 0 followers. You'll have to re-watch it, all. :)
