The most beautiful, cultured and economically strong country in western Europe. For its size, it has produced many geniuses, who will continue to be studied and adored. A nation that is full aware of its importance in Europe, and the world. a country that "Fights well above its weight". The Celtic tiger has given this beautiful country the boost it needed to reign supreme of her own affairs. A country once torn and still bares the scars of the illegal occupation by a "more civilised" nation that raped, ruined and pillaged nearly every country in the world at the but of a gun. One day this fabulous country will be united and that shall be my dancing day. Any uninformed, uncultured member of the dregs of society (more than likely British) who thinks that Ireland and its inhabitants are the slaves of Europe are gravely misinformed. The people of Ireland do not care how they are perceived by the rest of the world, we know that our country is one that shines bright in the European union, a neutral country that harbours a great tradition of acceptance and diversity. A country of beautiful unspoilt landscapes paralleled with bustling cities and cosmopolitan lifestyles. A country that I am proud to call home, because when you have such a home, you are one lucky individual! Up President Mc Aleese!

Get the iranian ski goggles mug.{ Ai-reen }
Someone hard to describe . Someone who is a lot of things, numinous, selcouth, cosmogryal etc. An honestly lovely girl, who dreams alot and wanders. The people who are her closets friends understand her, even though she might be the weirdest person they've ever met. Ireen values her friends, family, and her priorities. She's the type of person who would rather choose vintage than modern. Who would rather stand up and fight for herself and others than sit around and feel sorry for herself. She turns heads and quickly makes the atmosphere comfortable with the people that make her feel confident. Ireen has a strange scent of petrichor and a bit of saltiness and perfume. This just defines her lolita-gangster, laid back vibes more and creates a sense of mystery around her. It's better not to question her, she might surprise you and leave you speechless. She's beautiful, smart, knows when the timing is right. In summary is someone close to Perfection. Despite all this, she still has her insecurities and often has low-self esteem from even the littlest things. Ireen desires a paradise suited for her,an appentence,a redemancy,to not have any tacenda,an undeniable radiance in life, an even better melomaine, and to be the "crème de la crème" for everyone. She's funny,lustful, desirable,intelligent,shy,complex,has a nice figure, a godess and an overall a gapeseed. If you have or know an Ireen be grateful for her, and treasure her.

Get the Ireen mug.Ileanna is a very bright, smart, beautiful, and kind person. She doesn't act herself when nervous but is most definitely the realist person you will ever meet. She is very trustworthy and kind-hearted. She hates drama but will always stick up for herself. She's usually Biracial and has medium-long dark brown hair. Ileanna('s) Love animals and wants to help whenever she can. Often miss understood but so many people like her for who she is. Definitely Best Frieend material

Mike: Why are you failing in math?
