2016... The only reason to wanna hold on to it a bit longer, is that I'm not convinced 2017 won't be trying to out-do it.... *puts on Patience* JAL Is this what you mean by "Patience"? Also, I seem to have come done with a cold. (I blame the recent plane flight(s) I was on... almost nine hours in a...

There are few recent photos of people here. This should change (perhaps).

Here's one of me in front of the Nürnberg castle:

Relatively minor vent:

AAAAAAH ANXIETY ABOUT FLIGHT TOMORROW AAAAAAH

AAAAAAH ANXIETY ABOUT UK BORDER CONTROLS EVEN THOUGH I'M JUST TRANSITING THROUGH AAAAAAH

AAAAAAH ANXIETY ABOUT LONG HAUL FLIGHT ON SATURDAY AAAAAAH

AAAAAAH I'M NOT DONE PACKING AAAAAAH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Got a Christmas gift I ordered for myself today: super-shiny euro coins from the Vatican City. Also ordered directly from the Vatican. (insert drooling)

Also, I head back to the States tomorrow; really am looking forward to spending Christmas at home. (Joy.)

I am in Nürnberg. Time to raid the Christmas markets and eat all the Bratwurst. And Lebkuchen. And drink all the Glühwein. (insert excited bouncing)

It is sad to hear that, LB; I hope the both of you are able to enjoy the time you have, though. In minor contradictory feelings, while I am excited for my trip back home (to the US) in about three weeks, several things about it are making me feel uneasy. One being the political climate, especially i...

Thanks.


Also, in semi-asides, those travelling to Ilia are likely to end up with one of these:

More of my favorite things (a.k.a. money):

I decided to take the day off (have a few vacation days that need to be used up before the end of the year, plus Tuesday's a holiday), which was great: decided to go to Arlon to explore, which was quite a charming little city. Not going to work, however, felt really strange, and I felt a bit guilty ...

I ought to tell people I become friends with when I go abroad that my native language is something other than English. The bad part of English being the lingua franca of the world is everyone wants you as a native speaker to look at stuff they're writing in English for errors. It doesn't really bot...

Excuse me if this question has been asked and answered before, but I'd like to know where the island your countries are on is meant to be located. The short answer is that I've yet to really figure that out. The longer answer is that, originally, I designed the continent/countries to appear in a se...

http://img01.deviantart.net/207f/i/2016/284/9/0/ilian_banknote_fan_by_requindesang-dakoryv.png Yay, stuff. Wow, looks similar to the Euro. I think the old 1997-series Austrian Schilling and Euro notes were among the inspiration for these designs (in addition to the current Serbian dinar and Danish ...

Also, coins.

I like how you create documents and bank notes. Thanks. VS those banknotes are amazing!! Hvala. Notably, though, most of those banknotes are old-ish designs... except for the 50-dénar note, which I recently did (as in, this past week). http://img04.deviantart.net/153b/i/2016/284/2/8/yjd_50__new__sh...

Yay, stuff.

Seeing the weather-related craziness that's happening back home makes me a bit nervous; even though my mom (when I talked to her today) mentioned everything being fine, I still can't help but worry and hope that everything's fine there...

Tomorrow, I have to present a progress report before my "thesis supervisory committee", which will determine whether or not I get to continue with my doctorate. I knew this was coming (and have known this was coming for a while), but, really, my anxiety level's shot through the roof... I hope it tu...

I hope you can use it outside of the country as well. ;-)

All of my research implies it's good throughout Europe, but I guess there's one way to find out!

While I know thread necromancy is frowned upon, this seemed like the best place to put this.
