Isn't it strange how music on one day music can just be music - a few words set to a nice tune - and the next it can be like a personal message being beamed directly into your soul? I picked up the new album around the same time that I began to realize that the relationship I was in wasn't going to work out. I still like her, and she still likes me, but we had different ideas about where we wanted the relationship to go, so now we're just going to try to be friends. Anyway, the first time I listend to FYHCYWLAP it just sounded like music to me, but since then it's taken on much greater meaning. It's become much more personal. I know that they aren't really singing about me and my situation, but it's really easy to imagine that they are. And it's nice to have someone around who understands, even if they're only on a CD. Oh, and if you've just broken up with someone, I really don't reccomend listening to Diana Ross albums. Oooh, they can be brutal. In other news, I just found out I got a new job which starts at the beginning of July, so I've decided to go to Europe between now and then to celebrate the remainder of my free time. I've never been outside of North America before (I live in Halifax, Canada), so I really don't quite know what to expect. And I didn't really know where to go, either, so I just got the cheapest tickets I could for the longest time possible. So, I'll be landing in Dusseldorf this coming Thursday (the 15th), and I'm leaving from Munich on the 30th. In between I have vague plans to see some of the following cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Florence, and Rome. I know I'll probably only make it to a few, but I don't know which ones yet. I also want to spend some time in the countryside in one or more of the countries I visit. So, if you know of any nice places I could go, especially places off the beaten path (either in the country or the city), I would really appreciate hearing from you. Also, if you're interested in meeting me for coffee, or to show me around, I'd love to meet some more list members, and get an insider's view of the places I'll be visiting. If you want to get in touch with me, send me some private mail (I'll be temporarily unsubscribing from the list soon, anyway, so that my mailbox doesn't overflow while I'm away). Thanks, and I'll see you all again in a couple weeks!
