Today shall be Nostalgia Day...

[misscam]

I've been continuing my spring cleaning spree and thus came across this box of old photos and other stuff from my childhood and teenage years. And boy did that bring memories back... Little me and little bro playing Nintendo games, Marius's giant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that he won, my early days of X-Files obsessions before I discovered Babylon 5, my football playing days, mountain treks with the parents, my tomboy days... You know, I had a happy childhood. Sure, everything wasn't always dandy and bad stuff did happen - but I was mostly happy. It was a good childhood. My teenager years were slightly more troubled, but that's mostly my own fault. And life is still good now, it's just I get more adult troubles now.

To add to my sense of nostaliga today, someone e-mailed me to ask if I would please start writing ratfic again. Water Rats was possibly the best fandom-experience I had. Granted, LotR has given me a bigger reading audience and more feedback, but WR gave me actual friends. And less wank (I see f_w are having a LotR wank of epic proportions).

How human it is to think everything was better before, eh? I got all nostalgic and started reminicing. I was actually rather cute when I was little. Bit of a brat, but I blame that on the bad influence of my younger brother. *nods sagely* Me and my brother were and are very close, actually, and we had lots of adventures together when we were small. I remember one time we snook into a 'haunted house' together - only what haunted it wasn't so much ghosts, but some drug addicts and they scared the bejeesus out of us. Good times, good times.

Oh, and this meme has been going around everywhere, so I might as join in.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less

Ask me anything you want.

Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this, allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Depends what you're out to see, really. Budapest is good for the much the same reasons Prague is - classical architechture and fairly cheap. I didn't much like Berlin when I was there, but it apparently has a really good club scene. Paris is fabelous if you like art and good food, and my personal favourite French town is little St. Malo in Bretagne (next to Normandie). If you want a Scandinavian city to visit, my recommandation is Copenhagen. And if you get the chance, do go to Edinburgh.
