no

are you gonna?

yeah but i’m not sure what days. i’m gonna buy it but wait a little to see what my schedule looks like on surrounding days. on the other hand who cares

i get a little too worked up about what’s happening at my job while i’m gone

excitabl

seatl

dude emailed me about a job in seattle, but i was truthful in responding that i know nothing about ‘games’

i am still lasciviously eying your locale tho

i got my ticketl

OMG YAYYYYY!!!!!!!

friday to monday, or friday to tuesday, or?

OMG YAYYYYY!!!!!!!

friday to tuesday, arriving friday 4:39, departing in the morning tuesday but not as early as last time so it should not be so inconvenient and maybe just before you would go to work?

awesome then, same arrangement as last time, meet at the origami?

then we’ll figure out monday and tuesday, monday’s not a holiday here but maybe one or both of us can get it off. or if not, we can set up a grocery store scavenger hunt for you.

also, OMG YAYYYYY!!!!!!!

oh oops i thought you would have had it off! dur

you don’t have to entertain me though

oh i know that. totally reasonable if you want to go around on your own! whatever you want, my dear, you’re our honored guest. seattle’s guest. a guest of the city. a guest of this great state. of the region. of the pacific northwest.

on your behalf the citizenry will take the monday to go about their routine lives, to allow you the opportunity to observe unencumbered the pacific northwesterner in its native habitat.

(and hopefully to visit some of our fine and funky grocery stores.)

I hope I’m here when you are, harbl.

it’ll be columbus day weekend of fun

The PNW tea festival is that weekend—fun indeed

It’s also the weekend of the Nordic Knitting Conference!

seattle: missin u so :(

come back stevie d!

I want to so so bad! No joke: I show ppl that picture I took of yr kitchen on like a monthly basis

Like ppl keep asking me for ideas of how to paint/arrange their room and I’m all “YO, white walls w/ brightly colored trim LET ME SHOW YOU THIS”

awwww <3. the house gets better all the time, more reasons to come back!!

i love that too!

i still haven’t ordered a jacket for myself

maybe you can knit one on the plane

weather says it won’t be that cold, should be ok. what should i make you for dinner? i eat meat all the time now, like 100 lbs of meat per day

tonight I decided to torture myself by looking at Seattle craigslist. Rents have gone up! :(

harbl left :(

Aww :(

i’m in the anti-seattle

fyi ilx user silby will apparently be seattle-ishous soon

i am jealous, although i do not want to work for amazon

so i know you’re all baked, but when will it become legal?

as soon as we get back from our honeymoons.

or december 6

seattle > here, seattle voters > than here voters.

there’s only one solution

Honeymoons??

R74 marriage equality PASSED (!!! :-):-):-) <<<333) in addition to marijuana decriminilization, so i figure there will be a bunch of weddings and honeymoons happening before the people get to work on weed laws.

(lol you thought something else, huh.)

I thought the “no problem if over 21 and possessing < 1 oz” bit went into effect immediately?

So so so extra-happy about R-74!!!!! :)))))

We got marriage equality in md which is close enough for me to be excited!

yay maryland!!!

jaq, pretty sure it goes into effect on the 6th, same as 74.

You’re totally right! I just saw this handy guide: http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2012/11/09/marijwhatnow-a-guide-to-legal-marijuana-use-in-seattle/

Also, I love that the King county marriage license offices are extending their hours on Dec 6—8 :)

i know!! our county is kind of adorable <3

Missing u, king cty

come back.

seattle you are breaking my heart: http://www.seattle.gov/wedding/

Please don’t be late! We may be trying to marry a lot of people who have waited for this day a very long time.

oh, dear, i’ve got something in my eye. what a glorious good day this will be.

i know! i can barely think about it without, you know.

<3<3 will any of you go down to the plaza to join the celebrations?

yes!

i wanted to volunteer (they will have volunteers to be witnesses and to assist with wardrobe emergencies) but all of the spots are filled. which is for the better because they probably don’t need some stranger sobbing all over the license or trembling with safety pins.

i would encourage you to be a blubbering duffer at any wedding i was involved with.

<3

happy legalize it day!

also lol:

Oh, this totally blithe state! <3<3<3<3<3 u WA

Dear SPD blotter, I <3 u 2!

http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2012/12/05/officers-shall-not-take-any-enforcement-action-other-than-to-issue-a-verbal-warning-for-a-violation-of-i-502/

OMG that’s hilariously and wonderfully done, considering it’s a .gov page! <3 indeed!!

Today’s the first day to get a license in md—people began lining up at magnify to get then even though they can’t get hitched til Jan 1

XD

it is killing me dead with <3: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/12/06/protesters-dont-materialize-adorable-couples-do

Lol midnight not magnify! Hahahaha

we went and cheered the newlyweds this afternoon. it was wonderful.

I have been thinking about Seattle a lot this week. I want to go back!

I looked at Craigslist and rents have gone wayyyyy up! :(

I think dear lxy meant last November when lots of awesome ballot measures passed.

My reading comprehension has dropped back to Hoosier level—V v ashamed

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/8560494/Marriage-equality-bill-passes

not seattle but seattle-approved <3

♥♥♥!

such wonderful news to wake up to

but fuck bill english for saying civil unions should be “enough”

black people already get to go to school, that should be ENOUGH, why do we need to end segregation??

yes, very very wonderful!!!

I am missing Seattle again :(

time to visit!

or move here!!

find me awesome job?

I found a job to apply for! any of you Seattlites heard of an org called $hunp1k3?

no but that is awesome!

how did i miss this! very exciting, t!! i’m not familiar with the org but it seems perfect for you!

I have been procrastinating with my application and i don’t know why :(

Maybe because i am scared of another tiny org

they’ve been around for quite a while, though, and it looks like the client base is pretty large and varied. and it seems like an ideal next step in your career, a good fit plus a place you can really apply your expertise to influence the success/growth of the org.

i love how the name represents the goals/values of the org too. really neat!

DO IT NOW!!!

maybe in 5 years they’ll need a parttime writer. then i can retire from uw (!!!) and work less at a better place.

so you go ahead and start there, make your way up to director, and hire me! a perfect plan!

and of course you can feel sunny all the time, which is the best reason of all!

hire me 1st

hire mookie first

Hah. I know I should apply but now I will not get preference bc I didn’t submit by the 6th. I suck :(

yes but you are better than those desperate early birds!!!

Maybe? :)

not maybe. YES!

aw <3

apply now! do you need help? what can i do to help?

I haven’t updated my résumé in two years? Oops,

ah shit i hate when i do that

can i just say:

ytth has been trying to hire someone at his work and about 99.9% of applicants are fucking idiots—they don’t read the job listing properly, they send the most generic cover letters, and they say the most generic bullshit during interviews.

tza, you are anything but generic or boring, so you should feel confident about applying for a cool new job!!!! everyone else applying sucks!!!

Aw. Does ytth want to give me a job?
