estswella

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

likes gore-tex

(at first i thought not knowing much about someone was a hindrance in making fun of them but now i realize how freeing it is)

thinks sanka is good coffee

when people say 'dynamic duo' immedietly thinks of sting and phil collins

fakes allergies

abridger

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.

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.

<3

^

i never got a full verdict on the toffee crisp iirc

the toffee crisp was also delicious, iirc i ate it in bed at 6am on the third day of my jetlag which seemed liked suitable toffee crisp behaviour.

i'm at the paris airport, on my way back to australia, i'll see you all on the other side<3<3<3

where is estela? she hasn't posted in aaaaaages.

COME BACK, ESTELA <3

Yeah, estela! We miss you (and your little dog, too!!)!!

i love this silly floating girl: http://yowayowacamera.com/

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.

I bet they go!

i'm guessing scully won't make the trip, but i hope f. does

: ) we discussed this a few months ago when we heard about it and the upshot was that because it's in sydney it will probably cost about half an airfare to dodger stadium to get to so we won't be going.
