Drive-By Post Before I Vanish To Do Laundry

[redbrunja]

Someone online mentioned a Beauty & The Beast Castle that I need to go see while I'm in France. Is this ringing anyone's bells?

Also...

-What does Gojyo's shampoo smell like? I assume, with his hair, he probably using something fairly quality, but I can't think of what. I'm tempted to go with Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, which smells minty and green and tingles pleasantly, but since that's what I use, I'm not sure it's allowed.

-During the summer pzb, my mother, possibly renegadekitsuneand I had a conversation about the ikkou's musical taste, which is notable for the way every single person said immediately, 'Gojyo listens to rock.' Which is kind of a gimme, but still, aren't we sympathico? So my question is, what are the ikkou's musical guilty pleasures? What is the music that Gojyo plays that Hakkai actually likes? For Gojyo himself, I think he wouldn't admit to liking Ray Lamontagne, but would because that artist  has this wonderful sense of romance combined with the doubt that love even exists. (Go listen to "Jolene" - it's gorgeous and totally on my 'Forget Me Not' playlist, and only smillaraaqis going to know what that means.) 

Also, I went to Giverny today, which is where Monet painted and it was utterly gorgeous and so, so peaceful, I just wanted to stay there listening to music and looking at the flowers, in this lovely, hazy misty morning, with a truly lovely dove-gray sky and the birds chirping.

What was less fun was that while I was walking to Monet's house I had my head turned and walked straight into the lamp post that was for some unfathomable reason in the middle of the sidewalk. Seriously, it was a total slap-stick moment; I expected to see Charlie Chaplan hanging around. Almost as painful as it was embarrassing.

Hi! I miss hanging out with you. How is France? Are your classes going well? School just started here.

The castle they are mentioning is in the middle of france. I think they mean Neuschwanstein castle, but that is in Germany. I have always wanted to go there. Looking on the internet I found The Castle of Sleeping Beauty (Chateau d'Usse). I believe it is in the Loir Valley.

Miss you,
Kristina

Hi! Oh, it's so good to hear from you! I miss you so much, and can't wait to hang out when I get back.

France is lovely, however, most of my classmates kind of suck, and I'm not thrilled with my roomate - you were so, so, so, much nicer to live with.

I have a feeling it was the Chateau d'Usse that was mentioned, and I have hopes that I might be going there. *crosses fingers*

I miss you back, and could you e-mail me your adress (redbrunja@yahoo.com)? I'd love to send you a post card. And are you and Madeline hanging out? Is it difficult to see people now that you're not at Ridgeway? Anyway, if you see her, give her a hug from me, and tell me I want her adress to.

Also, how are you liking the suite layout? Is your roomate situation going well?

lots of love,
redbrunja
