The Empty Pedestal
During the last two months I have been disillusioning two long standing illusions. This is no easy feat as it required me to actually partake in them. The first called for me to backpack Europe. For the second, it was necessary to travel to a no-horse-town (unless mosquitoes are horses, then there would be forty million of them) in the backwaters of the Baltic.
I have had some experience in disillusioning recently with my exploits in London. While it took me four separate occasions over five years to expose London, these last two were much easier and faster. In fact, I only have 40 more credits to complete before I graduate from sorcery school as a Disillusionist (or was that with a marketing degree?).
Please don't misunderstand as so many people have, I completely enjoyed my experiences. But I enjoyed them for what they were, rather than for what they were not. So after eight years since I began dancing, Herrang has been found out. And after countless stories, including "National Lampoon's European Vacation", Europe has been exposed for the place that it is (especially the south of France). Now that these are real places, I will definitely be returning.
But I will not be returning next week. I have another task ahead: recreate my life in Portland. Hopefully this will include my impending graduation from university, but no one but Chaos knows if that'll happen. Perhaps I should go pay her a visit.
