T-Minus Four Days

[redbrunja]

So, Sunday I'm heading out to my aunt's house, and on Monday I will be flying away towards Paris.

Still doesn't seem real.

However, I spent yesterday making sure my debit card was working correctly, and picking up 250 euros (European money? way, way prettier than ours. They have glittery bits and it's all colored.)

I know where I'm going to be living, I know how they want to conduct airport pickup, I know what I should pack.....

Nothing left to do put balance my checkbook, pain my nails, and wait.

Still can't believe I'm going to be in France this time next week.

Oh, also I realized I don't have enough icons of kick-ass women doing bad ass things, so if you have any icon recs, let me know. Or kick ass women with the text 'bitch, please.'

Wow.
Have a good time, we'll miss you, can we see the glitteryness?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yep. I'll bring some euros to Abby's. About 3, right?

Kinda like Canadian money! We have braile on ours, along with a glittery stripe on the $5 and $10.

Name a fandom/character and I'll see what I can do.

Oh, awesome! It's been a while since I've been to canada - well, actually, I was just there a year ago, but I didn't spend a lot of time looking at the money. It sounds really pretty, and I remember the last few times I was in Victoria I spent a lot of time looking at the one and 2 dollar coins.

Thanks so much for your offer! I just posted 2 characters who would really work - Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica and Cordelia Chase from Buffy/Angel. If anything nudges the graphic muse, go for it. Thanks again!

Take pictures and send me postcards. I will email you my mailing address. Bring me back your loose change too. Or a stick of french gum. Anything! Have fun in paris. I know you will have tons of fun.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Please do email you're mailing address. And I'll be sure to bring souvieners back.

I should do some avatars of Yaone, Lirin, "Pippi", and Kanzeon.

Some of Death from The Sandman would be nice. *scratches chin thoughtfully*

Enjoy your stay in France. I don't think you can sneak a cute French guy home in your luggage though. ;-)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

All of those characters don't have enough love. Especially Pippi.

And Death was the best thing about the sandman comics, which I actually couldn't finish because they gave me nightmares, and also have been spoiled by manga for pretty pictures.

Hell, I'll settle for a brief yet passionate affair. The kind about which I can say, "We'll always have Paris."

[droiche.livejournal.com]

The Sandman gave you nightmares? I always got rather nice dreams about Dream. O_O Yerp. Death totally rocks. Delerium is a sweetheart that needs more love too. ^_~

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yep. I can only remember one - it was with that doctor who stole Dream's powder and caused that massacre in the diner.

And dream... He's ugly! Maybe manga has spoiled me, but I thought his face looked so unattractive. He should look like Roy Mustang... instead he looks like Steve Busimiti(?) with dark hair.

But Death does rock.

[droiche.livejournal.com]

Ah ha. Yeah. The art from Preludes and Nocturnes doesn't make Dream appealing. He's a hell of a lot more attractive in Season of Mists and some of the later books. How the cast looked depended a lot on who the artist was for a given story arc. I didn't like all of the artistic styles either. *nods*

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard there's a lot of variety in the art styles.

Okay, you have to have coffee in one of those little cafes okay? You also have to find a French Saiyuki manga.

Hee. Euros are absolutely gorgeous, I love them.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do. ^_^ And yes, the cafes are going to be getting a lot of love from me.

Everybody's money is better than ours.

Heh, yeah...it's always trippy when things like this get so close. I remember thinking very similar things when we moved up from So Cal.

You know where you'll be living...does this mean you know an address?

Our money is very boring. One of the guys I used to work with at Disneyland would make the joke, "Color-coded for your convenience."

Okay, so it's not a 'bitch, please' but I did finally think of good text for that one...

Bug me about the address again, next time we're on im, please. Because I just erased the file on the computer that had it, and the hard copy is across the house right now.

Yep, definitely. Way boring.

And that's a nice Zoe icon.

Hey, I realise this is kind of short notice, but it appears that since Writers is canceled tomorrow, we'll be congregating at my house around or after threeish, if you want to come hang out.

Anyway, have fun in France.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I probably won't be able to stay for too long, but I'd love to hang with you bits for a bit, at least. ^_^ See you then.
