Ssssssssssssssssso.

My grandmother, you know? She loves classical music, and she's getting old. She wants to see the birthplace of music while she still can.

A week ago she said she wants to take me and my parents to

Germany

Summer 2009

yyyyyyyyyyeah

I've already talked this over with several people, and mostly my problem is like this: I travel to eat, but I have a fundamental disagreement with about half the foods Germany is famous for, so why the fuck would I get on a flight of several hours to go there? The solution that comes most readily is for me to turn it into a trip to a fairytale world they have gorgeous landscapes that are too beautiful to ever possibly exist, and lots of cake. So basically like Japan, only all the savory food is really cholesteroltastic, and instead of knowing what I'm doing and where I'm going because I can read the signs, I have to depend on someone else for stupid shit like that.

OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME

tl;dr i r spoiled brat who can't appreciate Europe (Yang even called me a bourgeois). Comfort me.

Yeah, I have a lot of time to psych up, and I have a lot of time to formulate backup plans, and argue out possible alternatives with my family.

One of the things that's bothering me is that I would really like to go to the UK, or, like...Luxembourg...and I can't see myself going to Europe just for that. I brought this up with my mom who pretty much said, "no, this trip is for Grandma, and she is very suggestible i.e. what you want, so don't say anything to her." I agree with wanting Grandma to have her dream vacation, but I'm going too and hay guise cant we comprimizzzze?? :( (Is that really sucktastic? Kind of worried it is.)

Yeah... I think your mom's probably right. I don't think there exactly is a compromise between "where all the stuff in Germany is" and "someplace which is not Germany." : P

Yeah, okay, there's no compromise with geographical location. That's kind of a frivolous thing of me to ask. (Luxembourg doesn't change the fact that IR IN EUROPE ...I'll stop talking like a lolcat now.)

I do love my Grandma to pieces, but golly gee, I do have legitimate concerns (my parents know), and if I am a member of her group of travelers, perhaps I could be accomodated? She's offering to take me and my parents along because we took her to Japan, and in April Mom'll take her to Italy (yeah, really). Yeah, she wants to have fun overseas, but she also wants us to have fun overseas on her dollar. She's proved in the past that she loves me even if I am not polite or adorable---if I had to grin and bear her hospitality by going to Germany, we would both be very sad and emo :(

So maybe not going somewhere else, but...something...there's gotta be something.
