HI DERES

SIX MILES, BITCHES

of course we bought a bunch of cookies, so there's all that good gone.

Hi tehresa!

Hi Sara! How was your week?

Pretty good! How is HAWAII?

(I will have to check back to find out, as I must be off to eat late vacation lunch at the "big house." We are staying in our friend's guest house. It is kind of amazing. Probably not so much as HAWAII, though!!!)

Guys, you should all go see The Breakers in Newport, RI, why because it look intersting

hi from seattle. i feel cRaZy.

What's with this board and mailing excretions?

its a tribute to my broken house

You so missed out on a super-cheap quote.

fb: You, me, shovels, midnight, and a map to my neighbors sewer drain = SUCCESS

let's hotwire a CAT

this is why quimby doesn't trust you

Upper Midwest -- not stressed:

We're probably just too cold to be worried for, like, 9/10ths of the year.

Also, I didn't think Quimby trusted anyone. He's an X FILES type cat.

i hope you guys realise that the seattle fap is for realz - estela will almost definitely be in the states at some point next year, and we decided since seattle has the highest concentration of ilxors we like (lxy, jergz, lingybo, rev, jaq, remy etc.) that we should aim for seattle. plus i would really like to visit seattle anyway.

WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN BABY

Freaky - do you know what my surname is?

Ruby I am totally up for it! What time of year are you thinking, or rather is estela thinking?

not sure yet, it's awhile away yet!

I would love to be able to make it, and I might be able to come alone (if I can work it around my school schedule)... so sign me up as a maybe, I guess!

Now I'm trying to figure out if I could get my crazy ex-college roommate to put me up...

I would do like, anything in my power to make Seattle fap bc I've wanted to go back to Seattle for like 12 years.

Also, rly not feeling nyc and airport traffic right now u_u I demand we replace queens with palm trees and very blue ocean!

Exactly! :-D

;_;
deep depression setting in... now.

also jet lag.

It'll screw with your head for a bit. :-/

This is where we should all thank tehresa for her excellent party-managing skills as the get-together at Radegast Hall showed. Even if most of you weren't around by default. :-D

seattle fap yes
jet lag yes

Are you back, lxy? Or still suffering from the outward journey?

hi mark. yes, back since this morning.

i didn't have trouble on the front end of the trip, but coming home is always the harder adjustment. for me, anyway.

actually, it is probably general lack of sleep that's making me feel crazy, but i will lay claim to jet lag since i crossed the international date line at some point today (yesterday? tomorrow? i don't know.)

i kind of liked the time changing headed westward bc it allowed me to get up early and make the most of our days. now i have been up for like 36 hours (save a few hours of plane sleep) and am wondering if i should go to bed now (8pm) or try to make myself stay up til a more normal bed time.

stay up and drink. that's what i'm gonna do.

i am getting drunk for the first time in eight days. so far it feels like stepping into anti-gravity boots that i never even ordered

i have weird premonitions that i will end up living in seattle at some point in the next few years. though, my friend from hahschool days who has lived there forever is moving to quebec, so hmmmm...but all of his housemates were wonderful people without exception, as was the person that i sold stacks of record to at jive time when i was cash-poor and on the road. seattle just keeps on coming up in my psyche. i am hoping that an old friend who lives in alaska ends up living there, which doesn't seem like an entirely unlikely scenario

i just have never understood how a city which is so antiseptic birthed the "grunge" mvemnt

tza, tell us all about hawaii! and lxy tell us all about shanghai!!

oh god i am bored here ;_;

and it is FREEZING FUCKING COLD

itr has been on the move this week, it is quite odd.

wellington is freezing as well, but i love it.

ruby, i must confess that when you said you wouldn't be on here for the next few days i didn't 100% believe you<3

i just tried uploading photos and fb had an 'error'. baslkgj.

i am glad lxy and tza are back!

aw, hi estela! how have you been?
what did i miss on itr?

non-tropical paradise shit, i'm guessing!

estela, my parents' internet connection is so painfully slow that i'm not on here nearly as much as i would like to be. this thread basically kills their computer every time i hit submit on a post. BUT i can promise that i won't be on here for the first four days i'm in the US... not until jordan goes back to work on monday. HOWEVER, i did promise estela that i would at least jump on here my first day and let you all know that i got to the US safely, so i will do that.

maui trip:

snorkeling and seeing lots of tropical fishes

drove to hana, then continued further south and hiked up the side of a volcano through a bamboo forest and swam in a pool/re-enacted days of our lives scenes under a waterfall at the top of the trail (and also in two other, more populated pools at the bottom later on)

ate mangoes that fell off the tree, attempting to hit us on the head

left at 3:30 am to drive to top of volcano for sunrise (sooo pretty)

rode horse into crater floor of said volcano (and back out) and saw silverswords blooming!

visited 1790 lava flow that actually did not occur in 1790

decorated condo with approx. 80 balloons featuring a picture of my parents on it for their anniversary (including surprise drop from the loft when they walked in and champagne toast)

no tv watching, phone calling, texting, or internetting for 8 days... so nice!

lots of swimming & boogie boarding

lots of sunburn

ate lots of fish, mainly ahi tuna and marlin (including homemade ceviche and sashimi)

read my first danielle steel book (provided by sister). was not impressed. worst writing ever!!! not even entertaining!

i am probably forgetting some things. i wish these pics would upload. most of mine are really bad, though, and i am waiting for my sisters and parents to upload theirs.

much/most/all of that is so awesome! wow!!!

the sunburn kinda sucks, but i suppose i really can not avoid such things when my incredibly white skin goes that far south.

can't wait to hear about shanghai!
