ruby, sorry you're hurting. you get here, i'll hook you up with some painkillers.
― lxy, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link
we're in portland!!! not long now!!! AND OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT: WE HAVEN'T EATEN EVEN ONE OF THE ANZACS!!!!
ok so i had a pretty big cry last night and today bc i was in such excruciating pain and nothing was working and it seemed to be getting worse, but jordan set me up in the car so my leg was propped up and i'm feeling much better now.
also: holy fucking shit i didn't know oregon had like this HUUUGE mountain range!! and also these crazy rock formations that make you feel like you're in arizona!!
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 01:29 (thirteen years ago) link
oh my god i can't believe you're so nearby!!! and you're going to be here tomorrowwwww!
do you have a plan for seawa, beyond fapping at jaq's on friday? will you come over tomorrow night for a meal?
― lxy, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
no plans for seawa! visiting you tomorrow night, jaq's on friday - and bringing buckets of good cheer in the form of anzacs! that is all! i think jergins said we should visit the space needle, so we'll probably do that. we're in seawa for 3 nights so we have lots of time to use up.
it's raining in portland today :( so we are having a lazy morning and then going to my favouritest sock store in the whole world and then probably back to powells.
why is jergins not on this thread getting excited about seeing me?! i'm starting to think he just doesn't EVEN CARE.
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link
yay, dinner tomorrow, then!!! i emailed my phone number; did you get it?
good that you'll have new socks, since it'll be shoes-off for measuring. maybe you can go to a hair-flattening store, too, to expedite matters.
(you only have to be shoes-off for measuring, not for coming in the house.)
anzzzzzzacs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dearest,
please go to ruby's thread in the sandbox. she's beginning to worry that you're not excited about her visit, and we cannot risk her turning around or skipping seattle. we HAVE to get our hands on those anzac biscuits!!!
thx.
luv,me
― lxy, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I CARE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!
― jergins, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:04 (thirteen years ago) link
it will be great to meet you ruby.i've already started cleaning house.we've been strategizing on what to cook.fun fun, we will have fun fun
― jergins, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link
a few live updates would be good.
― estela, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
seawa better be good bc i think i <3 portland!!!! this town is soooo cute! **just out of curiosity** i looked at aptmts on craigslist and goddamn it's cheap to live here!!!
i bought about a million pairs of knee high striped socks so i will be attired appropriately in the foot dept.
jergie i thought maybe you had left town for a while in order to avoid meeting me and i was v v </3
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i will have drinks tmrw and then if i remember YES YES.
yeah portland's cheaper than seattle. one of my best friends (he lives in portland) has been looking for places up here and i think it's discouraging him that he's going to have to pay ~30% more in seattle.
lx pull out ur cutest socks, make this a competition.
― jergins, Thursday, 26 May 2011 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link
not competition. exhibition.
― jergins, Thursday, 26 May 2011 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link

well seattle was GREAT - couldn't have asked for better hosts!!!!
highlights:- dinner at lxy&jergz YUM- WINNING the height competition*- getting to spend tons of time hanging out with 2 of my fav ilxors- getting a guided drive-by tour of the city (my favourite kind of tour)- impressing everyone with my anzac bickies (?biccies?)- this hotel bed- jaq's rhubard & strawberry crumble
lowlights:- didn't get to spend nearly enough time talking to jaq :( :( - saying goodbye to 2 of my favourite ilxors :( :(
*i decided that girth counted too, SO I TOTALLY WIN!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― smoove operator, Sunday, 29 May 2011 06:21 (thirteen years ago) link
<3 i'm glad you all had such a lovely time, i knew you would all <3 each other.
nonetheless, the old girth defence does not and will not wash.
― estela, Monday, 30 May 2011 00:42 (thirteen years ago) link
it was great to meet you and show you around, ruby. we had fun. i kind of hate my stick shift car, so god damn jerky, so i was glad to hear everyone liked the drive around and it wasn't like 'ok i am car sick let's finish this shit.'
― jergins, Monday, 30 May 2011 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
<3 your car was fine, jergz!!

― smoove operator, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 15:54 (thirteen years ago) link
home now!!!
my absolute favourite part of the trip: we spent a night in yachats, splashed out on a fancy hotel room that had a jacuzzi overlooking the sea.
oh jaq: we made it to robert's books and OMG that place is crazy! it's so huge! i bought a few books there, mostly trashy mystery/horror.
