Not a problem (hopping over) -- although it did point out to me that I forgot to f-lock that entry ... ;-) Most of my LJ is f-locked, except for the posts with new fics. But, eh. Glad you found this one of interest, and happy to accept a friend request if you'd like.

As for the German bit -- born there, yes, but no longer by passport. Full-blooded Canadian since 1985! ;-)
