unhelpful
i REALLY wish people would quit telling me stories that begin with
"Oh, you're going to (various cities in Europe)? My friend/coworker/cousin/significant other went to (city) and got mugged!"
or, conversely,
"Oh? You're going to be in Europe? Here's the name and contact information for (various relative I've never met) who lives in (far flung city several hours from my destination)!"
I leave the country in 18 days, not to return until it's Christmas tree season.
I'm ready to leave, but still...fuckin' weird, man.
