"Mom, dad... I'm Gaelic."

I am here to tote my newest obsession: Irish Lesbians.

Yes, Irish lesbians, my friend. How cool is that? Yeah, so it's a bit random. I had a dream about it, actually... I can't remember the details (hush, you), but I woke up, groggy as all hell, got my coffee, and then thought, did I just have a dream about Irish lesbians? Yes, I think I did. Now I kind of want to write a manga about it. As you may know (or not, depending on what your cup of tea is), there is far too little yuri/femmeslash/shoujo-ai on the internet, and next to no Irish lesbians. Such a tragedy, I know! I shall make it my mission to correct this atrocious state of affairs.

But first, research: which means, my friends, I need to go to Ireland. I've always wanted to go, but now I have a, if somewhat convoluted and odd, excuse to visit! ...But what to say to my grandad to get the money for it? "Uh, yeah, I'd like to go to Ireland so I can do research.. yeah, research for my Irish Lesbian Manga." I think he'd kind of twitch for a second as he processed that information, and say with a vacant smile, "Why sure, dear," thinking that he must have misheard me. I'm almost tempted to try it.

I've told my mother already that it's a moral imperative that I get to Ireland sometime soon, but I don't think she knows why. Her reaction would, probably, be slightly different from my grandad's. Like, half-a-coronary-different.

Anyways, back to my basking in my new obsession. I really really want to get a tee-shirt for this... there are a few good ones at cafepress.com. I think my favorite one is the "I just can't quit you" slogan featuring a pint of whiskey. Nice.

I blame John Ko for this obsession, ultimately. He's the one who made me lesbians in The Sims, which started my amused fondness concerning all lesbians. (This includes you, Katie.) But man, how awesome are Irish Lesbians? I think I've already said that.
