Notes From All Over

I have an address, lovelies!!! Prepare yourselves:

Charlottenstraße 4A
38102 Braunschweig
Deutschland

That's exactly how you write it. I thought for a moment that maybe I shouldn't put my address up here, but I have too many people that I want to send me stuff to send them all personal e-mails. Also, I thought, who would send me a bomb? Also, my apartment has a front door that's locked all the time and you can't get in unless I personally invite you in. Like a vampire! So, Mom, nobody's going to come and kill me because they got my address from here. ;-)

Also, I cut my hair! Pictures to follow in later posts.

Oh, and finally, here's the symbol of Braunschweig. The one on the left is the actual symbol of Braunschweig. It's an old, medieval take on the lion. Apparently, way back in the day this Herzog saw a vision of a lion in the forest here and decided to build a town here.
The one on the right is a stylized version of the lion. I think that if I survive living in Germany for ten months then I'll get one of these as a tattoo. Thoughts?

The modernized version looks like it would probably hurt less to get, simply because it's not as complex.

The old-school one looks a lot more traditional and slightly cooler, though.

I vote for the modern one. But either would be cool I think. Thanks for your address. I'll send a vampire-o-gram. His name is Alfred. Be sure to let him in.

Do you want anything special mailed to you?

I take it back. I agree with Amy on the tattoo. I think the old-school one would be a cooler tattoo if it was done really well with a lot of detail. Otherwise if you've just a run of the mill tattoo artist I'd say go with the modern one...harder to mess up.

I knew it! I knew you would go off and do something really silly, CUT YOUR HAIR!! I can't wait to see it, I'm sure it looks fab! I agree with everyone on the tat, I think the actual symbol would be beautiful! Email me the list of things to send to you! Oh and be on your toes ... I'm sending my operatives there to test your buildings security! Your Mudda loves you!
