When I'm Working, I'm Not So Much

I Find Being Irish Quite A Wearing Thing. It Takes So Much Work Because It Is A Social Construction. People Think You Are Going To Be This, This, And This.

If Your Life Just Falls Apart Early On, You Can Put It Together Again. Its The People Who Are Always On The Brink Of Crisis Who Dont Hit Bottom Who Are In Trouble.

When You Find Yourself Alone, Or In A Transition, You Dream More. These Are Also The Times When You Read Books.

I Have No Place Left To Live But In My Own Heart.

And, In Fact, This Is The Tale That I Would Love To Write: History Is Such A Romantic Place, With Its Jarveys And Urchins And Side-buttoned Boots. If It Would Just Stay Still, I Think, And Settle Down. If It Would Just Stop Sliding Around In My Head.
