but our determination to see the project through helped us overcome any reticence, didn't it. it was not the hardest thing by far that i had to do that day. remember how i cried and jergins said, 'there now, stop crying' and you said, 'no, i like it' which made me laugh a little bit through my tears, which i am expert at, by the way.

i am all for crying but that is because i cry easily, i think people who don't cry often take it a lot more seriously than i do, they think it's a sign of drastic sorrow whereas i view it as a hobby.

why did no one point out to me that i spelt estela's name with an extra 'l' on the measuring post?! i could pretend that it was purposeful, so as to indicate its temporary nature, to distinguish it from the permanent mark to come. but i would be lying if i claimed that. was i drunk? mmmaybeeeee. still, no excuse. my apologies, dear friend.
if it would make you feel better you could address me as llxy, and pronounce it as if it were spanish.

dear llxy belden, i just assumed the extra l was for lanky.
― estela, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 23:00 (thirteen years ago) link
please note: estela's measurement was recorded in october 2009 at sydney's circular quay, and has been notated here solely for comparitive purposes, in order to settle the long-standing dispute between she and ruby. it should in no way be construed as a permanent measurement and in-person appearance for an official recording is required as soon as possible.
maybe you will have shrunk a little next time you visit, estela!!!

to be truthful i am a sorry dunce at pilates, also yesterday i sent a text to the instructor (who i love) saying i couldn't attend because i was 'suffering from unspecified gender-related discomfort'.
― estela, Thursday, 9 June 2011 01:12 (twelve years ago) link
i want to visit in the fall maybe. i am going to start doing yoga again so that when i come i will be at my tallest and i will blow all of you away.
― spite n ease (harbl), Monday, 27 June 2011 11:10 (twelve years ago) link
lol i hope you do! we can all do yoga together, and then we'll tell secrets on the porch.
jaq is coming over for her measurement tonight :))). i promise i'll put up a pic of the whole measuring post after that.
― lxy, Monday, 27 June 2011 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
I had the procedure tonight and was surprised by the results!
― jaq, Tuesday, 28 June 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link

iirc i was taller than jaq? which even i did not realize? ruby i thought you were much taller than this door frame indicates!
― tehresa, Friday, 1 July 2011 04:36 (twelve years ago) link
lol, i didn't.
― estela, Friday, 1 July 2011 05:12 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't been back to pilates since i sent that text.
― estela, Friday, 1 July 2011 10:08 (twelve years ago) link
harbl when you come will you please bring am0n so he can be measured too?
― lxy, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
lxy and jergins, did you measure stevie d.?
― estela, Thursday, 28 July 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link
we couldn't decide if we should or not, because he's not a sandboxer. i guess it should have been a question for the experts.
and once he was there i completely forgot to ponder it further.
― lxy, Thursday, 28 July 2011 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
i think steve would make an excellent sandboxer
― smoove operator, Friday, 29 July 2011 00:50 (twelve years ago) link
i do too!he is one of those special ilxors who i find even more delightful in person than on the internets.

― estela, Friday, 29 July 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
we slipped up, i guess. sorry, sandbox. :(
― lxy, Friday, 29 July 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
I think we will be seeing Steve back in the PNW at some point though (I hope, what a delightful guy!). Or! when he is visiting Ruby and ytth, they could do the lxy/estela method on paper!
― jaq, Friday, 29 July 2011 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
that is a grand idea!! lxy, you need to text me and remind me! steve is supposed to be here tomorrow night, but i think it depends on if he can get a rideshare thing organised.
― smoove operator, Saturday, 30 July 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
I have not heard back from Stevie recently as to whether he is coming here.

ruby/ytth can do stevie d-relative measurement, then stevie d can do curt1s-relative measurement!
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
shoes off! no combback!
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 04:02 (twelve years ago) link
no BACKCOMB i mean lol i knew it looked weird
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 04:06 (twelve years ago) link
after a visit from the grace fairy i shall now publicly concede that i am only a negligible fraction taller than ruby.
― estela, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 04:34 (twelve years ago) link
harbl will be the tallest girl. hopefully we will know for sure SOON!

stevie d is the taller one!!
there is a lack of precision to that ruler wielding that is slightly worrying to a stickler.
― estela, Thursday, 4 August 2011 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
i hope i can come. i should start shopping for plane tickets and ask my boss if i can get a couple days off in october. is there any time i cannot come that month? i'm not sure i should do this, i am trying to save moneys!!!
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 4 August 2011 12:54 (twelve years ago) link
AH HA! i just posted on another thread about you coming! YAYAYAYYYY!
we have tentative travel plans for the 4th weekend in october, otherwise any time is good! money is to spend, sister. i tell this to myself all the time so as to avoid becoming a miser.
― lxy, Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:32 (twelve years ago) link
ruby! thanks for the remote measurement, nicely done! did you explain to stevie d what it was all about or did he just submit to measurement without context? did you give him a sandbox invite?
― lxy, Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link
a. i kind of tried to explain the context, but i'm afraid it came out pretty garbledb. i did indeed send him an invite! i'm not sure if he's registered yet. i think i hear him making breakfast so i'll ask him
― smoove operator, Thursday, 4 August 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
for an added control, i will measure stevie and myself when he comes here and then bring the results with me in september to see if the ruby measurement is accurate.
― tehresa, Thursday, 4 August 2011 22:36 (twelve years ago) link
omg are you calling me a LIAR?!?!?!?!??!?!?!???????????
― smoove operator, Thursday, 4 August 2011 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
no of course not! it came out wrong. i just meant that one more measurement will help us triangulate steve's correct position.
― tehresa, Friday, 5 August 2011 02:59 (twelve years ago) link
o, what a tangled web we weavewhen first we practice to measure steve
