OK I don’t have a disorder for starters!
I’ll just give you the sides of me which I can’t tell why its happening
1. Music taste is Bjork, Gothic, Orchestral Rock, Film Soundtracks,
Likes Arthouse movies, anything out of the ordinary, learning languages, barefoot most of the time even in public (sorry if that sounds gross), neopagan religion, Celtic inspired and creative writer.

But here’s the deal, I feel like I want to be part of the "in" group so sometimes when im about to go out, I will quickly change my mind and dress "normally" or wear shoes (lol) and pretend im the same and stuff. I even pretend to like the same music and funnily enough I even force myself to talk differently.
Why do I do this? Why is it sometimes I feel the need to be like this? Do I really want to be just part of society instead of feeling like an outcast or something? I just get so confused about what I want to be before entering University.

to be in part of the ”in crowd", you feel you need to conform to the standards of their music and clothing. you feel the need to be like this so that they will "accept" you- but what makes you think they won’t like you if you act yourself? (with the exeption of no shoes of course
at university, there will be plenty of people you can fit in with without being in pretence, so just keep it real- you’ll feel better when you get friends who like you for who you truly are.

Patrick was a Christian priest whose job it was to convert the population of Ireland to Christianity. The Druids, however, stood in his way. The Druids were very important people in Ireland at that time, and their symbol was the Snake of Wisdom. Druids could be priests of the old religion of Ireland, but there were also much more.

One part of the Druid class were the "Bards", whose job it was to remember all of the history of the people, as well as to record current events. Because the Irish Celts did not rely on a written language, everything had to be memorized. Bards were poets and musicians, and used music and poetry to help them remember their history exactly. Because of this, Bards were highly respected members of the Irish society. The Irish believed that history was very important, for if you didn’t remember what had happened in the past, you couldn’t safely plan for the future. Bards, therefore, held the future of the people in safekeeping.

Another important part of the Druidic class were the "Brehons". Brehons were the Judges and the Keepers of the Laws. The Celtic people had a highly complicated society, and with it, a highly developed set of laws. Brehons trained for many years to learn the laws of the people, so that whenever there was a dispute, the Brehon could
fairly decide the matter and make peace. The laws were there to make sure that everyone; man, woman, and child, were treated fairly and with respect. Because of the wisdom that the Brehons held, and the knowledge of the laws of the society, they too, like the Bards, were held with much respect.
And, of course, there were the Druid Priests. This branch of the Druid set were the keepers of the knowledge of Earth and Spirits. It was their responsibility to learn the Spirit World, in order to keep people and Earth in harmony. Priests performed marriages and "baptisms", they were healers, and psychiatrists. The Priests were
the wise grandparents to whom you could go with a problem. They were there to help you solve them, with the help of the Earth and the Spirit World.

Into this world of the Irish Celts entered a highly energetic and devoted Christian Priest named Patrick. Because he believed so strongly in the tenets of Christianity, he thought that anyone who was not Christian had to become one in order to be "saved". He came to Ireland to convert the Irish people to Christianity.
The Irish people at that time were happy and doing quite well without Patrick and his ideas, but he was persistent. He noticed that the Druids were really the important people of the society. He thought that if he could convert the Druids to Christianity, the rest of the people would follow. Patrick’s main problem was that the Druids were very
comfortable with what they had already learned, and were not willing to change. Druids had spent their entire lives learning the ways of the people, and were the last people who were willing to change.

Although Patrick was not willing to abandon his vision of a Christian Ireland, he was getting desperate. He knew that because the strength of the people rested with the Druids, he had to get rid of them in order to get the people to listen to him.

Patrick was not alone in his efforts. He had brought many people with him from Britain to establish the new religion. Patrick began to destroy the influence of the Druids by destroying the sacred s
sites of the people and building churches and monasteries where the Druids used to live and teach. Gradually, the might of the Druidic class was broken by a bitter campaign of attrition. Instead of hearing the teachings and advice of the Druids, the people began to hear the teachings of Rome. Because the Druids were the only ones who were taught to remember the history, with the Druids dead and their influence broken, the history was forgotten.

Patrick won. By killing off the teachers and the wise ones, his own religion could be taught. For this mass conversion of a culture to Christianity, and for the killing of thousands of innocent people, Patrick was made a Saint by his church.
just thought I would share, many friends always ask.

Thank you for posting. It was something I was planning to do but due to time constraints, was unable.

Yes, Patrick the saint cast out the "snakes" by any means possible. At great loss to the people of Ireland.

Absolutely nothing to celebrate here!

Grace
When Grace Gifford, the sister-in-law of Tomas MacDonagh, picked Easter Sunday 1916 as the date on which she was to marry Joseph Plunkett she had obviously no idea of the tragic events ahead of them.
Days before the planned wedding Joseph Plunkett, who suffered his entire life under respiration troubles, was admitted to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation.
On Easter Monday 1916, the day after the postponed wedding, Plunkett manned his post in the General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin to take part in the Easter Rising.

After the surrender of the rebels Joseph Plunkett was arrested and imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol. Just hours before his execution on 4 May 1916 he married Grace Gifford in the jail chapel with two prison guards as witnesses.

Grace Gifford remained involved in the republican movement, especially in Sinn Féin, while earning a living as commercial artist.
She voted against the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which divided Ireland in Saorstát Éireann, or Irish Free State, and Northern Ireland, and during the Civil War she was imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol for three months.
After the Civil War Gifford became a respected member of Dublin’s cultural society until she died on 13 December 1955. Grace Gifford was buried on Glasnevin Cemetery with full military honour.
