A Thread for 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

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
