So I get this email today from my friend K., and I quote:

"Not to put a damper on things but do you have a will? You should definatley [sic] put one in place before you go on your trip. It is very important to have one in place."

No Hi. How are you doing? Are you excited about Europe in a week? Just, hey, you're probably gonna die, so make sure you've got your shit together, eh?

And of course, at that point I freaked the fuck out. I was completely and utterly fine up until this point. I mean, I still don't think I'm going to die a firey death or anything, but don't you think an email like that jinxes things a little? It just creeps me out.

So I wrote her back and told her that if it's my CD collection she's concerned about, she's free to have it. And, oh, P.S. I'M NOT GOING TO DIE!

Then I called her tonight to tell her that I was pissed at her for emailing me like that. Not pissed pissed, but not pleasantly surprised.

Gawd. I've never once in my life thought about a will. I'm 26, I have no dependants, and most importantly, I have nothing of value for my family to claw and pull hair over. My will would be all of a sentence long. Besides, I've flown tons of times, why is this any different?

I digress.

But speaking of emails, I've noticed that ever since I've been visiting European websites more, I've gotten a hell of a lot more European spam. Particularly Dutch and German, for some crazy reason. I can understand why I'd be getting Dutch spam, since I've spent quite a bit of time researching Amsterdam, but German? I'm not going to Germany. I've received a few French spam emails, too. The web has prying eyes, I say.

So yeah. I leave next Friday. Time flies, baby, time flies. I'd offer to send postcards to everyone, but it seems I already have quite the list and don't know how I'll manage to find time to write everyone as it is. I know you're all terribly disappointed.

Look at the time. I've gotta go, uh...do something other than this.
