no problem.
UH. I'm a little late in making a "hey everybody! Europe was smashing" post, but... geez, it was too big of a trip to squish down into an interesting entry that people will actually read. So, instead:
the HIGHLIGHTS, the LESSONS.
1. Italy takes away your self-preservation instinct. To get anywhere, you must learn that to cross traffic, you just have to walk right on out, regardless of any sort of lights. You'd be the only one paying attention to them, anyway.
2. Europeans have some deep, psychological issues with their bladders. I do not understand this. Public toilets should be your friends, man.
3. The French Unions really are fickle. And everything else you've heard about them.
4. The subway is the most interesting place, ever. I believe we should install one in our tiny town of 1,330, just because they are so awesome. Helpful, fluently English-speaking zombies and crazy men who throw umbrellas onto tracks are found here.
5. Capri's travel guides are hilarious. As are the Vatican's. Our main British guide was a sad, brilliant man who was struggling through college with an English Literature major and random cough attacks that made me wonder if he hadn't actually worked in a coal mine for a good part of his crazy-haired life. He could do Cockney rhyming, sing A-Z Beatles songs, and say "aluminium."
6. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGNS. or at least the don't-blow-smoke-into-everyone's-faces campaigns. and the shave-your-backs campaigns.
7. While French junkmen are fun and friendly, Italian junkmen are obnoxious, persistent and vaguely creepy. This is called "irony."
8. Why don't we have 2-dollar coins. )8 Or flat prices. Or gelato.
9. Along with their bladders, Europeans have something against electrical sockets. In one famous hotel room, we found one (belly-level) by the door, one behind the window's curtain, and one on the ceiling.
10. Cannibalistic seagulls.
Yeah.
And. And.
As awesome and non-monotone-like-Wisconsin as it was, though, I'm glad to be back. ;w; Aaa. ♥
... And, obviously, nothing says "I'm back" like a good old meme.
A. "Has my portrayal of a character(s) changed the way you think of him/her?"
B. Pick one of my characters and I'll answer the following questions about him or her:
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
3. What do they dream about?
4. What’s their biggest fear?
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
6. What is their fondest memory?
7. What is their worst memory?
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
10. What makes them laugh?
11. What are their religious views?
12. What is their greatest strength?
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
C. Pick a fandom, any fandom I'm in. I will tell you:

:3 Filling these out is fun. S'good work!
/ignores it so hard
*likes Lelouch/Suzaku too*
<33
...
Because I think it's actually true. -scratches head-
I dunno. CG has so many otps in canon, ot3s make it all so much more interesting. )8
no subject
It's all good. I enjoy pimping Euphie out. She makes it difficult by being in love with Suzaku. Darn her~ At least I ship her with fewer serial killers than I did at WL?
And that is quite an OT3! <3
no subject
Still a Tyki fan, Euphie? :B

Gino.
Really.
...
That's kind of awesome and shippable. what the heck. ajksgnkh DUDE okay why did that ship just hit me. thanks a lot. <3;;; -- though, 'accidentally?'
no subject
Well, Euphie learned Miranda had never been to a movie before, so she suggested the two of them go. Then Miranda told Euphie they should invite people to go with them. Since Miranda is kind of skittish, Euphie thought it might be best not to invite the somewhat intimidating Cornelia. And things were awkward with Suzaku (since he broke up with her...not that they were dating exactly, but...), and Cornelia doesn't want her seeing Lelouch and Nunnally. *deep breath* So, she's friends with Gino, so she invited him. Gino thought it was a date. And when they got there even though Miranda had invited several people only Adam (Millenium Earl) had come and so it was very much like a double date.
Who needs abridged versions?
Anyway, on the non-date, Gino wanted to get a souvenir from the movies which Euphie thought was cute because what? lol. So, she made him a postcard of the movie and dropped it off the next day. HE LOVED IT. And anyway, they keep seeing each other and he keeps thinking of it as them starting to date and she is thinking...idek. But She does really like Gino. Her mind just isn't on dating someone else since it is more on the loss of Suzaku. But I think she could intentionally date him pretty easily too. They have so much fun together.
AND YES IT IS AWESOME AND SHIPPABLE AND RANDOM...since they never meet in canon. I jokingly said it was my OTP once in chat looong ago and then I thought about it more and I was like...actually...huh...damn.
I also kind of ship Euphie with Kaoru in Marina (and about 50 other people). Including Lyle who is like 13 years older than her and pining for another girl...
And with Flynn and Yuri and 50 other people at Poly.

... Well. At least the option's there, I guess. xDD Though Suzaku. ;; What went down there.
FFF. I find irony in the poly bit.
no subject
Well, Euphie, forward girl that she is asked Suzaku out and Suzaku...FREAKED. He actually hung up on her and then they didn't talk for days. ;;;; And then when they did talk again he made it clear he didn't want that. He didn't want her sexually/romantically even if he did love her in other ways. And of course he felt unworthy of her and all that. She just sobbed that night and clung to Cornelia. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Then Euphie didn't talk to him for a few days because she didn't want him to be upset by knowing she was upset. They are talking again now though.
Irony because Flynn and Yuri are not unlike Suzaku and Lelouch in some ways? *calls Flynn Blondzaku*
