So I wait for you like a lonely house / till you will see me again and live in me. Till then my windows ache.

A running account of a Jamaican-American's move to Cork, Ireland in a desperate bid to inject some fun and adventure into her life. Bring on the craic!
Who Am I
- Sirmelja
- Cork, Ireland
- I'm a voiceover artist and psychologist on a voyage of self-discovery. Needing a shot of something new in my life, off I went to Ireland! This blog is my way of keeping friends and family up to date, and giving myself a place to talk out loud. If anybody else wants to read it, they're welcome to as well. I can't guarantee it's (always) going to be fascinating, erudite, consistently updated, or even vaguely intellectual. Enjoy!
