Holiday! Celebrate!
So, as mentioned before, Dawn and I are going on holiday to Scotland.
We're taking the ferry from Larne to Cairnryan on Saturday (27th) afternoon and going to make our initial base of operation in Oban, Argyll, where we're staying in a B&B for two nights.

And you thought MySpace was weird
I'm signed up to another social networking site called Bebo. Basically every single Irish person is on this thing.
I rarely sign in to mine, but I got a friend request email today, so I signed in to respond to it.
