WD'NTYLL

it reminds me of a rotter.

which is one of my favourite things in the world.

haha i love it because i look so mad (i waited 3 hours for my number to be called) and it makes your skin look like porcelain which mine doesn't irl. i was going to remember not to frown but then i forgot.

i have noticed that american DL photos are almost always quite flattering. the opposite is true in NZ.

my last one wasn't really, i looked even more like a kid

<3<3 gorgeous

cat's a little rude for hogging so much of the frame. but really, awwwwwwwww @ you both.

yeah unreg that's bc it's what i *don't* look like

ohhh, I keep forgetting that "what don't you look like" actually means "what don't you look like". but based on your contributions to this thread, I've concluded that (1)you are not mummified, (2)you are not tinier than a postage stamp, (3) your skin is not made of porcelain, and (4) you do not have a kittycat (however adorable) permanently affixed to your face. really, this is a lot to take in at once.

:)

I don't look like this & I pray to God in heaven above that I will never again look like this in public. that hair!

I mean, given the choice, I'd actually rather look like http://i26.tinypic.com/2udyu5e.jpg.

a few live updates would be good.

lxy when are you gonna post the pic of the thing

ytth is tallest fyi

estela is a TINY WEE bit taller than me

lxy is a sparrow-pixie, she is so dainty

apologies for the delay. here is a preview of the new measuring post. the full version, which includes jergins and ytth, will be posted in the near future.

this record is being reconstructed from scratch. those of you who were measured in the old place must return. those who've been here but not been measured (jabba, jaq), please return at your earliest convenience. and you who haven't been at all: what the fuck. hurry up.

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.

<3 i remember jergins was a little bit queasy about us placing our dainty socks directly onto the grimy circular quay pavement.

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.

sistela

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.

y?xy

dear llxy belden, i just assumed the extra l was for lanky.

maybe you will have shrunk a little next time you visit, estela!!!

that would be good wouldn't it, i'd better quit pilates asap.

pillates

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'.

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.

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.

I had the procedure tonight and was surprised by the results!

tallest to smallest

ytth
jergins
jaq
estella (lol)
ruby
lxy

iirc i was taller than jaq? which even i did not realize? ruby i thought you were much taller than this door frame indicates!

lol, i didn't.

i haven't been back to pilates since i sent that text.

harbl when you come will you please bring am0n so he can be measured too?

lxy and jergins, did you measure stevie d.?

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.

i think steve would make an excellent sandboxer

i do too!
he is one of those special ilxors who i find even more delightful in person than on the internets.

aw<3

we slipped up, i guess. sorry, sandbox. :(

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!

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.

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!

shoes off! no combback!

no BACKCOMB i mean lol i knew it looked weird

after a visit from the grace fairy i shall now publicly concede that i am only a negligible fraction taller than ruby.

harbl will be the tallest girl. hopefully we will know for sure SOON!
