Trinity Ball 2004
Perfectly timed exit; left just before 5am as the last song finished; grabbed a taxi; back home in a tick 
The night as a whole went thusly: dinner and drinks with “Mal”:http://www.illyana.com/ and “Davida”:http://www.diddles.net/. Drinks with Linda, Dan, Dawn, Greg, Andrew, Sheila (the usual gang from my year in CS). Then came the ball; met “Dermot”:http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dfrost/, “Stella”:http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~snpower/ and “Elaina”:http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~laina/ (who left for the call of free drink, can’t blame them). Met “Vlad”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~villiros/, “Ash”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~ashj/, “John”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~jgilbert/, “Nithin”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~dude/, “Conall”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~conall/, “Anya”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~anya/, “Annie”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~abedford/, “Paul”:http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~paul/ and others (whose names I can’t remember) from current CS. Met Claire from Medicine (still an E.R. fan). Met pretty much the whole skitrip gang, and hung around with them for most of the night; “Juan”:http://www.seqn.net/, Annette, Laura, Clare, Sharon, Brian, Daire, Kate. Mad dancing group, meaning good fun at something like the Trinity Ball. And “Kevin”:http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/ popped his head in, but didn’t see much of him over the whole night.
All in all, another good night at the Trinity Ball–dance-filled and search-for-people-filled. Which is as it should be.
Thanks to all who helped make the night all it was. *sniff*
