'Metamorphosis' is excellent, I'd like to read more of Kafka...

Read 'The Trial'! It'll drive you mad, heh :) Hopefully they'll have it in your local library (credit crunch chic, heh) but if not it should be available cheap on Amazon (I always get everything I want on there, sometimes super-cheap) :)

Its good to hear from you again. I still think Northumberland has some awesome castles in it, real ones that served their purpose, but i am a little biased. Sounds like you have tons of fun though :)

Hiya! Hopefully I'll get time to catch up with your journal properly soon, at the moment when I go online it's mainly 'job job job' type stuff :( So I'd better bloody have one soon, heh! Hmmm, will have to check out Northumberland sometime then, didn't know it has castles... But Germany is where all my favourite stories came from (in one form or another) so I think that's the magical 'draw' for me, like they're the actual buildings that inspired some of the ideas...or something :)

i didnt know you'd gone to prague- i lose track of your travelling!
Wish i could go on a holiday- i never have any money these days & its doing my head in!
the photo is beautiful- because it has such contrast, i wondered if you'd photoshoped yourself onto the background, but apparantly not! beautiful :)

Oh - now you mention it, it *does* look Photoshopped! I couldn't tell on the bigger version but on this size I do look a bit 'stuck in there', heh :) Or maybe it just didn't look like that to me at first because I was actually there, hee hee :) The snow made my hair all curly like that y'know, it was snowing so heavily my hair got wet where it had been sticking out from under the hat! Aaaw, thanks for the compliment too *blush*

Gee, I've got a lot of catching up to do with a lot of people, just never seems time for anything... I'll try to set aside some time soon to write to you by hand :)

I want to ask you loads of questions about how's this and how's that and how's so-and-so but I want to restrain myself and catch up on your journal for all that, soon soon soon... :)

Oh and I didn't tell anyone I was going to Prague, only family - I just wanted to sneak away and hide from everyone and everything at my most hated time of year, I just couldn't take it on top of everything else that's happened in the last few months...

I wrote you a letter last night and put it in the post just now! I thought it would take a while but it ended up taking just one evening! I doubt I'll be able to make it to L'pool for around my bday but I'm hoping for soon after - full details in my letter, which hopefully you will get tomorrow! (to the flat, not your work)

I know, you can never find cool stuff like that in anywhere but the most expensive 'specialist' shops usually :( I haven't heard of that Susannah Clarke one but I'll have a look out for it now you've mentioned it :) I'd be interested to read yours when you finish it too! By the way did you get my letter recently...my long rambling letter, heh?!
