My Summer as a Camera

[skull_bearer]

Despite having written an essay tearing a strip off of him in my first year in Cheltenham, I am feeling rather sympathetic to Isherwood right now. I suspect if I write anything about this completely insane summer, this will be the title. I mean, grief. What am I supposed to answer when I'll (inevitably) be asked 'So, how was your summer?"
"It was okay, I fought off a brainwashing cult, watched my brother storm out and learnt more than I ever wanted to know about neo-nazis. Oh, and ran off to europe for a month. How about yours?"
I can sort out my massively confused opinions about all this when I'm off trecking. Right now IAMACAMERAIAMACARMERAIAMACAMERA-

dear gods, kill me now.

one anon's offered to put me up for the night

I can probably find a youth hostel if I know the dates ahead of time. In any case tell me of your plans as soon as possible.

Don't knwo abotu Cologne, as I said, I'll be pretty much making it up as I go along.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting meeting up there. I'm only there to visit various relatives and maybe friends. Of course we could meet there, but I don't think there's much to see and it's not a pretty city, seeing as it was completely razed during WWII and rebuilt in an ugly modern style. (Münster has been rebuilt much more prettily and closer to the 16th ct original.) I was only asking so that I could plan that trip at a time when you're somewhere else anyway.

I also know I'll be going to Dusseldorf, if that's closer.

That's pretty much the same distance. Düsseldorf's a little closer but the train ride would cost me the same. But if you go from Hamburg to Düsseldorf directly, Münster is on your way anyway, so you could stop by.

Hmm, that's a point. I'll keep that in mind. So I'll probably be able to come either jusy before or just after, depending which way I end up going ;)
