Awww man, I want to meet Fi and Benno and Mr. Fi.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Likewise, Mr. & Mrs. and young Master Zmayhem. SF is looking a looong way away right now, though, sadly.

Hey Fiona, I think I'm going to be in Germany next summer! The plan is to visit my friend in Berlin for a couple of weeks, but I'd also hope to get out of the city and see some of the country too. How close to Berlin are you? Sorry, I'm shamefully ignorant of German geography.

As one of many people who has hosted Kate, I can vouch for her as a houseguest. She's easy peasy and fun. Plus, more than willing to mix it up with little poots.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
My German is reserved for people who deserve faltering, badly enunciated utterances that fail to find a point.
Mostly, I employ the new skillz for listening.
Sumi-ko and I will have some time in the latter half of October to take a road trip, Fiona. We should get together to do a thing in a place.

With such recommendations, Kate and Gus, how could I refuse? I'm quite a way from Berlin - 4 to 5 hours by car (driving German style, no speed limit), and about the same by train, costing EUR 100,00 one way. (I know these are distances you Murricans sneeze at, but to us mid-Europeans, it's far).
Berlin is such a fantastic city, though, perhaps I should visit while you're there instead. Or something.
A thing in a place - yes.

See? This is how these German women get that overly-specific, bossy reputation. Go ahead, dictate every instant of our road trip, Bossy Dominatrix Girl.

Fiona, 4-5 hours doesn't sound unreasonably far, and I know my friend would delight in showing me how fast he can drive. Or, meeting up in Berlin is good too. Not that I have, you know, plane tickets or even firm dates yet, but I'm all excited at the thought that I might get to meet you.
