A Thread for Estela

estswella

teasle

(oddly appropriate)

estela:

clamdigger

atheist

touches the coral when she snorkels

refers to people who live west of the A1 as degenerates

worked at the Flag Inn Gympie Muster, Gympie as a teen and will never live it down

tries to use the word abdegnate in conversation. friends and family too polite to correct her

learned and forgot semaphore

would have peter jackson's baby

abridges famous books in her spare time

once spit in a casserole

visits http://www.craigharper.com.au/ at least once a day

believes DG is the 'chosen mod' and that ilx won't be good again until he retakes his rightful place

(wait that could actually be true)

talks to her dog as if this is the time it might answer

wears ankle weights around the house

plagarized foucault in high school

fought the law but then pled guilty in court

writes one letter to the editor every day

vegetarian

hey estela now you can post on your own thread and confirm/deny the assumptions made

if i had to guess which ones are true

refers to people who live west of the A1 as degenerates
abridges famous books in her spare time
believes DG is the 'chosen mod' and that ilx won't be good again until he retakes his rightful place
talks to her dog as if this is the time it might answer
rewrote australia's national anthem to be a song about herself

a close reader of ilx will note that she has already admitted to two of the above, one of which max picked out

sometimes i ask my dog what being a dog is like and if he enjoys it, that's about it though.

does your dog answer?

not in so many words.

Japanese toymaker Takara claims it can get you in touch with your inner canine through its new Bowlingual. A radio microphone attaches to Fido's collar, and a handheld receiver "translates" his yelps, growls and whines into such phrases as "I can't stand it," "How boring" and "I'm lonely."

estela, is this:
i met estela and she is fab and beautiful and elegant and just about everything you would imagine her to be an accurate description of you

well it seems awfully generous but i have been accused of being self-deprecating so how can i measure these things.

based on posts i have read from you, and about you, i imagine you to be pale and tall and funny and clever and implacable.

ruby was a lot like i expected her to be except maybe a little bit quieter, she doesn't speak in caps and !!!!!, she is very pretty and has a lovely speaking voice and laugh and is funny and smart, i very liked her.

lingy, can i post a picture of your mii for estela?

lxy nope.

estela i can't think of any of my posts that might indicate what my height is. and thank you for the speculative compliments.

i thought jergins once said you were tall, but maybe i was mistaken and he said nothing of the sort. anyway, that became part of my very sketchy picture of you, though i didn't like you any more or less for it, in fact i didn't really think about it at all.

sometimes i have dreams about ilx people and if i don't know what they look like i don't see their faces: sometimes they are blurred out, or the person has their back to me, or is talking to me from another room, my dream never supplies a face for them.

if i had to guess, i would say you are somewhere in the 5'5 range (that's 5 feet, 5 inches, though i don't know how many meters that is) in height; have brown hair; don't wear glasses regularly; are shy, but overcome this very easily; are witty. probably even more than that too!

i am 5'5'' and i have dark brown hair and i don't wear glasses and i am shy but only in some respects, so that is some pretty good guessing.

if we're on the asl tip i need to say that i'm five foot eleven of all man with deep green eyes as wide and profound as the ocean

E, i have a Q:

did you stop drinking because
A. i don't like this stuff or how it makes me feel
B. i like this stuff too much and too much like how it feels

also, if i ever met u i would have to call you estela, not whatever your real name is. ok?

my eyes are as flat and grey as a photocopied irs letterhead.

my stopping drinking was a mixture of a & b, at first i liked this stuff too much and how it made me feel but by the end i didn’t like how it made me feel which was sick and remorseful and horribly anxious nearly all the time, and not ever drunk no matter how much i drank. that was all a long time ago though and i have adjusted to never drinking ever, and i think everyone should carry on without me, i'm not one for spoiling the party.

i would <3 it if we met and you called me estela, i would always call you jergins. i called ruby ruby the other day, it was nice, i like all our ilx names.

at first i was going to write 'we can carry on without you, not to worry' but there's no reason we can't carry on with you. if you can put up with a bunch of drunks on itr and here it wouldn't be much different in any other context :)

i call lingbert lingbert pretty much always. it's hard to remember his real name sometimes. i'm still not sure i pronounce his last name correctly.

he doesn't pronounce it correctly. we've only been friends for about 2 years though.

also i wish i could always guess as well as i did about estela

gime me time

is it a tricky name, or are you being lazy.

gime me time

where have you been?

where have you been?

i have been right here wondering where you have been.

Where is Lingbert?

hey estela do you sometimes get annoyed when you make funny posts and people fall over themselves saying things like "this thread is now perfect because of estela" and other super-hyperbolic things? im sure its really complimentary and a lot of the time theyre saying things that im thinking but frankly i think the strength of your wit is its dry subtlety and a lot of unsubtle internet posters drawing attention to your jokes sometimes ruins them for me. let me know your thoughts thanks max.

lol u jealous

only of u lingbert

i seldom get annoyed about anything on ilx, max, i am mainly in it for the nonsense. i do hold back a bit from lolling and praising other people's posts for the exact reasons you give though. for example you probably make me lol a lot more than you realise and i think you are a top notch poster, but i don't know that i've ever spelled that out.

nabiso otm

hey! hi! welcomje!

it always astonishes me when a new person finds his way here. what chain of events led to this? has said person been lurking and finally found something comment-worthy, or is this a first visit? will the visitor remain, or is it a one-off post? so many questions.

haha welcomje! the dutch in me comes out when i'm drunk.

I couldn't figure out how to log in, that's all.

I came back here two weeks ago looking for the kegger thread.

now that's good style

always astonishes me

may have been overstated. it's not like it's happened a billion times, or even ten times

thank you estela thats a very sweet thing to say

i would say that you are obviously one of my all-time favorites if it didn't seem gauche to return such a touching compliment with something so broad and non-specific

i <3 both estela and max

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3011/2792987911_13b899027b_m.jpg

i love you lxy, these are all very great, like you.

also i think pleasant plains should come back to this board again.

aww estela! hearts, flowers

what kind of music do you like?

estela do you use any kind of instant messenger? if so, let's chat. i'm feeling garrulous.

i would like that, but i have never imed in my life so i don't have it set up.

go to http://www.meebo.com/ and sign up. just give them fake info, and you can be chatting in under a minute. you don't even have to verify your account via email. i just created an account on meebo, and it took less than a minute, no exaggeration. do it!

i have to run out now for about an hour, i can do it when i get back if it's not too late for you, let me know.

i'll probably be in bed by then, but i'll post here if i do go to bed before you get back.

okay, sorry, i have to walk my dog and go to the store and it keeps getting later and later.

i picked out my hike, and now i'm going to bed. oh well.

i am here again but i still have to do stuff, so goodnight! i'll go ahead and sign up so that next time i'm ready to go.

jergins, i never answered your music question, is it from before the break? i will get on to it, though it is a bit of a difficult question for me, i think i have never given a satisfactory answer to this in my life.

i like a lot of different things, but i lean most towards the melancholic and the spare. i don't like clutter much, not in music, buildings, clothes, food, writing. i'm not stubbornly minimalist, everything doesn't have to be a white room and a black piano and a grey sky, but i like things that seem simple and true. but then sometimes simple and truthful can be found in things that sound bold and a bit messy. sorry this is such a dumb and embarrassing answer but i never know how to answer this question, i have trouble with it even when it is only me asking myself and there is nothing to defend or explain.

thank you, that is a wonderful answer.

i think so too

thank you, now i don't feel so foolish.

we love minimalism. it's a mantra and the magic word

estela, i'm "different" than those two because i don't LOVE minimalism. maybe i love it sometimes, but not ALL the time. but then that's kind of exactly what you said. but i do think your answer was great and not embarrassing.

hey estela did you dl an instant messenger program? if so, log on so we can chat.

only creeps IM

that's not true

you're right, that's not true

i haven't yet lingbert, but i will. i have to finish a big batch of work first though, i am way behind, and it's made me behind on everything else. next week will be better.

what topics of conversation are you readying, lingbert?

i haven't readied anything. i fear i'm going to be so unprepared when it happens.

i have very high standards.

that's not true

should i use a different name for this, what is the protocol, can you help a duffer.

use whatever name you want! mine is completely different than lingbert.

if the IM name you want is taken you could go with ESTELA_AU_ROOLS
i bet that one's not taken

ok, i have got a new tragic name, thanks everyone for your loving assistance, and set up a meebo account, but now it wants me to select my im account, of which i don't have one. should i pick yahoo, which i have an email acct for? or will i have to do even more than sign in there. or is there a better way. less than a minute my foot.

<3:)aw

when it asks you to choose an im account, just hit skip! i just created yet another account to test this out. when I started, it was 10:00. when i finished, it was 10:01.

then when it asks you to invite friends from your other account, hit cancel. you're done

i am trying this right now.

ok, what do i do now?

in the window for your buddy list, there are 4 icons at the top. the one on the right is to start or join a chat group. click on that and then type in the name: estelol

for the chat room and hit join. that is where i am

sigh, maybe i have misunderstood meebo. i guess you have to sign on through one of the im services. if you already have yahoo, use that. i'm sorry for the confusion.

lingbert,
i keep fucking it up and now i have to go and pick up my dog. i will get back on this thread when i get back (in about an hour) and if you're still here i'll try again.
sorry, i'm sincerely trying to do this.
i do have a yahoo account (for ilx) so i'll try signing onto messenger when i get back.

ok, well i just remembered that i have a yahoo account too. we can just chat through that. I don't know if i'll be up in an hour, but it is possible. sign on through meebo or just straight yahoo and it should work

ok i'm back, and signed into messenger.

and if it's too late for today this is still progress.

ha i'm actually still up. but just for a bit longer. jammingjamjammy is my screen name on yahoo. add me as a buddy and im that shit.

i added you, it said you are offline.

i'm estelaisalei.

did you all ever chat?

i'm not sure. i might have been dreaming.

chat can take a person to a higher plain

i might have bored lingbert to sleep.

estela, did you dress your dog up for halloween?

no, i was a little bit tempted to but i was afraid it would compromise his dogtegrity.

Did you mean: dog tegrity

No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - dogtegrity - did not match any documents.

Thanks, I'll be here all week

the other day i took my dog for a walk and a small boy of about six wearing a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and a smart vest appeared from behind a hedge and patted him, and then told me he lives in papua new guinea and that are hardly any dogs there and the ones you see usually only have two legs. i said, only two, and he said yes, and also the bees over there are so big they eat birds. he made a large circle with his hands to show me the average diameter of the bees. i put a frightened look on my face and he gave a nonchalant shrug, then his eyes landed on some jacaranda petals on the ground and he said its all right because if you ever see a bee coming all you have to do is stick a flower petal onto your leg and it makes them stay away. i thanked him for the tip. he said actually there are quite a few dogs over there but you mainly see them in the company of women who are about to take them out of the country. then he said he hoped his flight home wasn't going to be bumpy. i said i was sure it wouldn't be and he looked very relieved and then we parted ways.

how big was the diameter of the large bees?

whoa i guess you could say that expression "the birds and the bees" takes on a whole new dimension in PNG

the diameter was as big as his hands would go. i think everything he said was a lie except the bit about not liking turbulence. he was a corker, i laughed all the way home.

maybe he wasn't even from papua new guinea

i was that boy, once

well then <3<3<3 to you.

lxy, i think he was from png, he had the slightly anglicised accent of an ex-pat. so that is two true things.

haha, jergins with your smart vest and your clever lies!

i was the 6 year old girl who always told the truth, all of it, all the time, to everyone, often in song. also i was always the first person on the block to introduce herself and welcome new neighbors.

i am not like that any more.

when i was six i wrote two stories, one was about an alien who went to school on the moon and the other was about a prairie dog and used thinly disguised versions of my friends as characters

when i was in elementary school (maybe 2nd grade?), i continuously bounced on my pogo ball from my house to my elementary school and back one weekend. i'm not sure how far it was. and i actually just went on google maps to find out how far. it seemed like much longer when i was a kid, and it's only actually about a mile round trip. but still. also, wtf the city has google street view! but seattle still doesn't. it was a trip seeing my old house though! this has also provided a brief but solid way for me to procrastinate.

this is a pogo ball for those who don't know:

omg <3<3<3 to all of you.

your mother in law is french?

your husband is curiously multi-national

my mother in law is a big bag of trouble but (and) i <3 her.

my father in law is mexican, also <3. he tells me secrets, some of them are quite astonishing.

the blood of how many countries is running through your husbands veins?!

how many is france and mexico and usa.

i'm glad you're not posting as Uncle Shavedlongcock while you discuss his veins.

3

is how many

3 veins...how do u know that??

*smdh*

estswella

sweat sell

i've gone off veins as a word except when preceded by leaf.

even then

leaf veins sounds pale green and delicate.

k

thank you for your consideration.

dearest estela,

did you figure out why you got the red subscription note at the top of itr?

love,
lxy

dear lxy,

no i didn't.

<3estela

dearest estela,

did you accidentally subscribe to a daily email from robot?

xo
lx

probably, though if i did i never received it, which is good because the unhelpfulness of itr might have saddened me.

^dear lxy

as an experiment i subscribed (today) to a daily email from this board. it was sent at 4:05 pdt, and you posted "i just clicked on this board..." at 4:10, so the timing makes me wonder.

being an archivist at heart, i am going to maintain my subscription.

estela, what will you be having thanksgiving dinner?

for?

estela, what will your thanksgiving dinner consist of?

http://www.thanksgiving.org.au/

reading that, it seems like you'll have to eat a picture of john howard

if thanksgiving isn't till may, why do you have to rush to put the tree up now?

i think she's trying to be all accommodating and shit for her husband

oh well then it's because she's nice!

i just read him your posts and he said 'shush'. (xp not your post lxy)

our friend is moving to new york and she loves thanksgiving so we're doing it for her before she goes.

i've never heard of that australian thanksgiving, it looks shit.

so what's for thanksgiving supper? i am interested in knowing.

and tell your husband "just a bit of fun. be cool"

it's me he was shushing, he was trying to sleep at the time of reading.

we'll have turkey, garlic mashed potato, gravy, stuffing, cranberry, vegetables, salad. i have to order the turkey soon because fresh turkeys are usually only required here at christmas, last year i had to get a frozen one and it didn't defrost on time, it was annoying.

and we'll have pumpkin pie, and probably fresh berries and gelato, it's summer here.

last year we had our thanksgiving on the saturday and it was election day here and john howard lost everything, it was very great.

your thanksgiving dinner sounds awesome and i wish it was in front of me right now

i wish you would be there dressed in your santa suit.

that's what all the ladies say

ho ho ho

this morning f. was walking our dog and he saw this mean neighbour of ours and her terrible little angry dog and the dog was jumping up at f. and she said, 'it's because you're eating a banana, he loves bananas, can he have a bit,' so f. broke a piece off and the dog scarfed it down and then the neighbour lady suddenly lunged at the banana and dug her fingers right into it to get more for her dog. f. was taken aback, he threw the rest of it in the trash.

lol!

last week i saw her angrily waving a tennis racquet at some birds, she looked demented and the birds seemed bored, they flapped around a bit then landed back where they'd been at the beginning of the row.

is she a tennis player in addition to being completely crazy and awful?

i know she is a golfer, i'm not sure about tennis.
the truth of the matter is that we sort of enjoy her. you can see her frown from 500 yards away.

i bet you make good stuffing

lol

my secret ingredient is crushed nuts.

crushed nuts??

i think i'm going to retire ashton for awhile.

posting that ashton post felt forced and pretty joyless.

yeah if you kept posting that face it would stay that way

in our minds

i was pleased to see ashton, i'm not tired of it at all.

estela do you like flann o'brien?

i haven't read him, but i like the sound of him. do you like him?

One of The Third Policeman’s many footnotes speculates that Kraus and du Garbandier, two of de Selby’s commentators, were one and the same person. We learn that another de Selby expert, Hatchjaw, is arrested for impersonating himself; and the possibility is mentioned that Hatchjaw was not Hatchjaw at all, but “either another person of the same name or an impostor.”
This ludicrous situation is one which O’Brien and friends attempted with great success to play out in real life, hijacking the letters page of the Irish Times with a host of letters written under false names. The letters formed a kind of chain, with O’Brien often sneering at letters he himself had written under a different name. The modern-day Irish Times will not publish pseudonymous letters, and requests that writers provide a phone number so that their identities can be verified; but at the time, editor R. M. Smyllie, encouraged no doubt by the rising circulation, gave O’Brien his own column on the strength of the letters controversy (which he himself even joined in).

estela, making double-o funnies since 2001

are the o's the same size or is one larger than the other with an underscore separating them.

lo_Ol

not sure why lxy wants to discount your 90s work--some of your best imo--but hey, we're our own people

probably it's because i'm a no_Ob

i am trouble from procrastinating and it's not the kind of trouble i <3.

you should read the 3rd policeman, i think its very funny

i dreamt you came to seattle to settle outstanding back tax issues from batman II

a goth accountant, who would have thought

later i went to a restaraunt and in a mix of french and english explained bacon to a gathering

was i wearing black lipstick and carrying a calculator, because if so it was definitely just a dream.

hi estela i hope you are doing fine

i might be interested in knowing where estela has been

she's away but i'm sure she is thinking about us while she's gone, just as we are thinking about her

that sounds like something a mom would say to her child when the dad has been sent to prison or is off on vacation with his mistress.

lingy, i'm not your daddy.

i went to nz for a few days to see someone who is very ill, partly from cancer and partly from chemotherapy. i did think about you all while i was gone<3, and i thank you for thinking about me.

sorry to hear about your friend, e

yeah, best wishes

thinking of you, <3

thank you<3

You were missed, estela. Welcome Back!

i'll be here all week.

hello estela! i also missed you!

where will you be next week?

perth comedy underground, no wifi :(

hi tehresa!

next week i'll be here all week as well.

what a run! and at the peak of holiday entertainment season!
i hope you got a good box office split.

haha that's cute

this morning f. was walking our dog and he saw this mean neighbour of ours and her terrible little angry dog and the dog was jumping up at f. and she said, 'it's because you're eating a banana, he loves bananas, can he have a bit,' so f. broke a piece off and the dog scarfed it down and then the neighbour lady suddenly lunged at the banana and dug her fingers right into it to get more for her dog. f. was taken aback, he threw the rest of it in the trash.

― estela, Sunday, 16 November 2008 07:48 (1 month ago)

so this is where you've been talking about me behind my back, estela!!!

oh shit

!!!!!!????!!!!/&;@

it's either ruby (i hope so) or the banana gouger from up the street.

have you heard tap tap tapping in the night? noticed an unusual amount of grime on the keyboard when you wake? odd smudges on the monitor?

has your little pet been casting side-long glances at you?

looks like the doggie typing lessons paid off!

or it could be ruby.

!! maybe it is my little dog and he spelt smooch operator wrong.

but it's probably ruby, and if so, where is she? she should be posting.

why, hello there

there is no suggestban here, it feels like utopia

dear estela's doggie and/or ruby

probably it feels like utopia because it is the color of jaffas

yes i did notice that. also: now i know where you guys have been hiding all this time, and i feel like i have been excluded from a secret club. if i am estela's dog i am putting my tail between my legs and hiding under the table.

it's like lost. you don't find the island, it finds you.

dear ruby, i thought you knew about this board, i was sure you were a poster here before i ever was, i was sad you had stopped posting here, i realise now i was wrong on all counts.

dear lxy, the board truly is the colour of jaffas, i thought that as soon as i saw it.

i will now record small stories sent to estela by txt

when i was in kindergarten i pretended to learn french. my parents still don't know that i was just copying my sister.

when i was in 1st grade i started talking like a "hick" boy i liked, saying things like "i reckon" and "i ain't" and "VE-hicle." my parents disapproved.

a mean boy made fun of the girls who tried out for the 2nd grade solo, so the teacher made him sing I Love You Truly in front of the whole class. still lolling.

my 3rd grade teacher shamed me for spelling alaska wrong on a test, because my family was moving there at the end of the school year. "you of all people!"

in 4th grade i did a report on new zealand featuring a papier mache kiwi.

in 5th grade music class we learned to play the tonette, sort of a clarinet-organ amalgam. there was also a girl in my class named Tonette.

my 6th grade reading group recorded a play with a character named Phoebe. they got mad at me when we learned it wasn't pronounced "fobe." i was good a phonics.

7th grade was a nightmare. boys on the bus spit on the windows and talked about wet dreams. i tried to pretend like i didn't exist.

i was in love with my 8th grade history teacher. he drove a baby blue opel.

tried to convince my mom i could ride my bike 5 miles to the busstop so i wouldn't have to change schools. but no i had to go to the yucky school for 9th grade.

10: dated mike for 2 weeks. saw him once during that time, at a church xmas party. he gave me a janky bottle of oldlady perfume. broke up with him over the phone.

got a mad crush on a guy who was into Devo; traded my AC/DC 8 track for Elvis Costello. tried to see The Knack but it was sold out. saw The Cars instead.

12th grade is when i learned to lie, to my teachers, to my parents, to my sister. it served me well in college.

freshman: a-plus party girl, c-minus student. learned to drink and screw but not much else. fell for a gay boy, the first of many. discovered i love to dance.

estela told me she got an iphone and has had it for weeks. f. keeps bugging her about getting it set up but she won't because she doesn't want to change out her simcard for fear of losing "lxy's life history in txt."

i told her i had recorded them on our board and could send to her in email, so she's going to switch out phones before she goes to sydney.

that man is a saint, he's got to be!

hahaa

a) i had the worst time figuring out how to get this embedded. turns out you don't have to do anything lol.
b) i forgot this thread is on l&j oopsie.

2x lol

oh where are you now
pussy willow that smiled on this leaf

i am in earl's court in london but we only arrived last night so have not seen much of it yet apart from walking around the neighborhood.

I had a book that compiled a selection of those flann o'brien letters it was v funny even tho i was only small. It was the first book i ever stole i didnt think anyone else using the school library would love it like i did

i expect that book was just about worth all the trouble, but not by miles or anything

The book was called "miles of myles" fyi

During the late 1960s a large transient population of Australia and New Zealand travellers began to use Earls Court as a UK hub and over time it gained the name 'Kangaroo Valley'

the last time i was in dublin my flight arrived super early in the am so i spent the bulk of the morning wandering around trinity college and watching some weird pre-graduation(?) ceremony until i could check-in to my hotel.

how is your francais functioning??

pas mal (most of the time) but i definitely speak better than i comprends because people talk so very quickly. my ear has started to adjust though, i picked up more of what was being said to me today than i did yesterday.
we are in nice until tomorrow, it is very lovely. today we drove to monaco and menton and we popped into italy for a quick visit.

i dreamt we were in paris together. obviously wishful dreaming.

sandbox fap

needs to happen

we seem to be doing it one at a time which is not a proper way to fap, people

i meant it's wonderful but still

i would meet y'all in paris

Would find that rather more difficult to explain tbph

"je vais à un match de PSG avec les gars."

lol, i thought of that exact same excuse.

not for me but for a rogue with a brogue.

tbph: dubious application in above context

i have seen several women here who remind me of lxy and my heart lifts at the sight of them but a pleasing sight is a pretty poor substitute for the real thing imo.

for one thing i am certain they don't laugh as well as i do.

this would all be fixed if i just lived there.

on the champs elxysees?

i'd feel outraged if i thought for a second that 'rogue' wasn't just a handy rhyme tbh

rogue mahone

it is snowing in paris and these chocolates are delicious.

Major League Baseball today announced its master 2014 regular season schedule, which will begin with the historic 2014 Opening Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 23rd.
