You are here!!! No wonder the sun is shining! :)

the live updates must have been written in invisible ink.

ytth and ruby are driving up first ave right now, what do you think about that

well we got photographic evidence of this encounter, which i have just emailed to you, estela!!

we fully intended to liveblog but we were too busy smoking too many cigarettes.

i got the photos, they are lovely:

<3<3<3

and i got another photo, a photo of a piece of paper with some names and lines scrawled on it:

...olololol

i'm surprised to be laughing so much about something i knew all along.

no we are too busy eating anzac cookies

omg these things! so good! and so so wonderful to finally meet ruby and ytth!!!

well seattle was GREAT - couldn't have asked for better hosts!!!!

- 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?)

- 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<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.

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.'

<3 your car was fine, jergz!!

also: hi from canada

5 things to do in seattle:

1. see jaq's lovely house CHECK
2. drink on the porch with me and lxy CHECK
3. go up in the space needle. no really it is awesome and worth $20, i love it CHECK
4. neighborhoods neighborhoods neighborhoods: georgetown, capitol hill, fremont, ballard, wallingford, u-district, lower queen anne, belltown etc etc etc. (jaq have you ever been to leschi? lol lived here most of my life and had never been until last month, great turkish food in a shishi area) CHECK
5. go see some art. we live by this place http://www.westernbridge.org/

how is canada, do you see alice munro aspects?

everyone said vancouver is a shit hole, but we loved it!! wish we'd had another day tbh. really wanted to bike around stanley park but didn't have time.

not v alice munro-y, unfortunately!

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.

ruby i forgot to tell you that whenever i leave a cupboard open i think of you and "things guys (men? can't remember) do"

and then i laugh and close the cupboard

<3! ytth will never learn

my absolute favourite part of your trip: _______ about popular ___ (and sometimes _______) ______, ______ (aka ____ __________), and _______ the ____ about the ________ _______.

<3 you both, even beyond the _______ of ____.

/innermost circle of the circle

i'm so confused

ruby, i wish you hadn't already come to visit so that the 'i am coming to visit' part of this were still true.

plz say hi to ytth for me.

Have been thinking this morning abt ruby walking up my front steps bearing anzacs.

i am, as estela would say, chuffed.

jergins asked this weekend did i have harbl's phone number. he was going to text to ask what kind of food does harbl like.

i said i think she likes halal meats.

oh i like all kinds of food but i do not like pork. so yeah halal. i don't really eat beef either. anything!
