Sometimes I swear I just don't understand people. At all. What the heck motivates some of these people I know to do the things they do?!

Well, anyway. Happy St. Patrick's Day (a day late), everyone! I celebrated by wearing all of the Irish jewelry that I own, and reading the Irish Travel Guide that I recently bought. In it I found out how to say "good night" in Gaelic--oíche mhaith, which is inexplicably pronounced 'ee-ha-vah'. Go figure. Gaelic and Welsh are facinating languages, but I'm SO GLAD English makes at least a little more sense.

This news deserves a celebration: my parents and brothers are packing up for a week in Texas and leaving me here, so that I can work and take care of my grandparents. I will enjoy a week alone being Independent and Adult and Now Having Anyone To Tell Me When To Go To Bed, and I have already started making a list of Things To Do While Every Is Gone, including things like eating meals consisting of nothing but cheese, bacon, and icecream, and renting lots of movies.

As I said, I believe household guns do harm more often than good. I think for every case where one is used to defend a house against an armed robber (like you described) you also have several cases of accidental death and injury. Statistics are statistics... you can say "well my househould won't be one with accidents" but no one plans on having such accidents.
