I met a fellow BDer!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Brinniel · 10-27-2006, 08:16 PM

I'm happy to announce that I've just been accepted into my college's Kasteel Well External Program. This basically means that from January to April 2008, I get to live and take classes in a castle in the Netherlands. Not only that, but we're required to visit two other cities (I'm not sure which ones yet) and are encouraged to travel abroad to other countries in Europe as well- thanks to 3-day weekends and 2 week long breaks, this is entirely possible.

Now I know that Spring 2008 is still pretty far away, but I definitely hope during my stay in Europe that I will have the opportunity to meet some of you European Downers. I've never been overseas before, so this is really exciting for me.

I will try to remember that. . .

From what I have seen here and on LJ you seem like a person I would like to meet and since Holland is not that far away and fairly cheap to go to. . . well it is definitly a possibilty.

I have met yet another Downer, though only the few who have been around as long as I have and who have frequented the chat room in the past will remember her: goldwine. I visited her on a trip to Australia, her home, and enjoyed our meeting very much! She is a great hostess and a lovely person, with whom it was a joy to converse, as we share many interests. I feel privileged to have gotten to know her personally.

I'm always open for opportunities of meeting Downs members who live or visit in Germany/Europe - just let me know when you'll be where and I'll try to make it possible, though I can't promise success in advance...

As I type this, I'm sitting beside a fellow BDer.

And no, I'm not related to her. Perhaps not closely, that is.

yavanna II was browsing the Downs in some computer place here in the University of the Philippines, while I, fresh from a French class, was looking for a computer, and I saw her, and worked up the courage to talk to her, and then we ended up chatting like friends.

This is sooo heady!

Well now.

I have to type this quietly, because someone who just traveled through six time zones is sleeping upstairs.

I picked Macalaure up at the airport yesterday evening. Not quite long years; nor Nan Elmoth, but some spell seems to have caused us to have miss several hours since.

Enjoy and live!
