we are going to rent snorkling gear i think!

i just talked to sister and have decided that i should remove a lot of clothing from my suitcase. unnecessary.

Snorkeling is A++++++ awesome fun. We went on our trip to the Florida Keys in 1990 - omg I would do that again in a heartbeat.

Glad your sister is helping you out! You guys are going to have so much fun.

we tried snorkeling in destin. there were lots of giant sting rays (this was pre-irwin impalement RIP). it was very cold. and also rainy. we rented wet suits. it was ok, but i think hawaiian snorkling will trump gulf snorkeling no question.

We had good weather when we snorkeled - I think the scariest thing we saw was tiny a little jellyfish (at least in the area we were taken to). It was pretty great. BUT OMG HAWAIIAN SNORKELING SOUNDS SOOOOOO AWESOME.

I have to get on my treadmill now and walk 5.5 miles and I just realllllllly don't wanna. ;_;

lol now other sister says "PACK EVERYTHING!"

procrastinating!

someone pls to paint in snorkel? i am dling paint sw right now but my internet is broken so it is taking 10 years :(

That is pretty cute!

As for what to pack, I'd go with the first sister's advice... it's just easier to not have too much stuff.

KOBE, TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTE

You're not going to rest until all of ILX has read that thread, are you.

i mad stupid face bc i wanted to paint snorkel over it but that didn't work.

Cute anyway!

heading off to my last ever shift at the restaurant!

yay! congrats!

mook (not ilxor mookieproof) and i have just returned from an evening of dedicating ourselves to the consumption of all malternative beverages on the menu of the "OTTER STOP INN". i am injured.

also the big loser of the evening is the bacardi mango mojito. it tastes like freshly cut grass that has been sprayed by an unneutered female cat.

probably should lie down about now.

home from my last shift at the restaurant! indefinite holiday officially begins.... NOW!!!

also: i think my bosses are buying my fridge off me out of pity, since i can't sell it to anyone else and they don't actually need one. aww my bosses ain't so bad.

leaving for hawaii now!
congrats to ruby!!

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tza!!! have fun!!!

Congratulations RR! That's awesome!

Have a great time in Hawaii, tehresa!

John... well I hope your head doesn't hurt too much today. Mook's, either, bien sur.

i just learned a funny thing about gff

He has no vowels

ps guys "Freakshow" is great

WAHT IS FUNNY THING ABOUT GFF?

SUSPENSE KILLING

gff told me a really funny story at FB's birthday party. But I didn't know he was vowel-free.

Dan, waht is "freakshow?" Please inform me: you know I'm clueless.

freakshow is great, yes.

"Freakshow" = the new Cure single.

"Wanted is also GREAT. Best use of the human shield ever!

ALL IS CLEAR NOW, THANK YOU

<3, etc. etc.

Why is it that, every night about this time, I find myself snacking on junk food.

I'm going upstairs for some Fritos so I can ponder that question.

i am going to super fancy and expensive restaurant with one of my bosses!

http://www.whr.co.nz/

How cool! When?

tonight! in about 30 mins!

i've already decided i'm having the lamb and the 'variations on a theme of chocolate'

made the waikanae crab or the clams and pasta, as well. not sure if i can fit an entree in as well as a main.

btw, americans are spazzy for called mains 'entrees'. here in nz, entree=starter.

*calling

We are spazzy, but that's really just the beginning.

starter = appetizer here in MN at least.

mmmmmmm lamb and chocolate. Gah, I hope those Fritos hold me until morning.

yikes, 1:30 a.m. Better go to sleeeeep.

Good Night RR! (and everyone else!)

Let me get this thread kick started!

(sorry, you didn't want content, did you?)

Are lxy and jgs in Shanghai yet?

I went to a wedding this weekend, the youngest son of my mum's best friend from school. Throughout my childhood, visiting this family was THE best thing in the world, my fondest childhood memory - we'd go up there (south Lincolnshire, nothing but flat fields, marshy dykes and enormous skies) a couple of times a year and get lost in adventure and possibility. I first discovered girls there (and, for humour purposes I'm sure, was placed at dinner next to the first ever girl to requite my adolescent feelings, TWENTY-TWO YEARS AGO), and would invariably be in love with a cousin, or a family friend, on each visit throughout my teens. It was amazing.

Anyway, the wedding was great, and almost every single person from my memories was there. It was pretty emotional, incredible fun, and the only thing that makes me sad is the fact that, with the youngest son now married off, the likelihood of everyone getting together like this again must be pretty much zero.

It's funny you mention weddings as today I will be the official witness at a wedding in Brooklyn. I learned about this event on Saturday.

anyone we know?

i just got home from a fabulous and fabulously-expensive dinner:
Steamed clams, spelt pasta with chilli, garlic and lemon;
Sous-vide Wiltshire organic lamb shoulder with roasted rack of lamb,
fried ewes milk haloumi and spinach puree;
Variations on a theme of chocolate

the chocolate thing was AMAZING - a rich gooey mini souffle, a super rich mousse/parfait/spongey thing, white choc and espresso creme brulee, a chocolate 'lollipop which was some kind of super rich lite choc ice cream covered in crushed pistachios, and choc orange sorbet.

Woah that sounds amazing. I assume Wiltshire is in NZ rather than importing lamb from England :)

i have no idea!

me and my boss spent the evening acting quite crass and saying mean things about the loud group of businessmen next to us.

the high point:
(boss talking about his ex gf who i used to be friends with) - 'yeah her dad was a pastor so that's why she thought anal sex was evil' SUDDEN GLARING SILENCE IN THE WHOLE RESTAURANT.

also: the 18yo couple - obviously a big, special night out for them, the girl is all dressed up nice with pretty perfect hair and makeup... and her boyfriend has this silly mullet with a bad blonde dye job and is wearing a big baggy band t-shirt.

^^^^precious moments

I like to think that that menu item is a reflection on the sad state of global capitalism and the NZ has finally capitulated and admitted that British lamb is better. (More likely that it is in season in the UK and not in NZ).
