many (most?) of the regular sandbox posters have been obdurate wdyll thread holdouts, my plan is to continue in this vein, what are your plans dear sandbox shadowy figures/dotted outlines?

are you asking what i don’t look like?

ive ceased my wdyll activity of late

I graduated in May 2008 with a B.A. from Occidental College, in Los Angeles, CA and have spent the last year working with New York City galleries and museums.

oh lol

i meant to paste this: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=44&threadid=68871 but pasted part of aris cover letter instead

that is the thread that made me think, eh, maybe i should post fewer pixx of myself

i don’t know what i look like

we should post our broken hearts to broken mirrors ratios

:(

i will post to wydll one day

i will again. i didn’t like being photoshopped but i’ll get over it

wdyll

for the record every sandboxer i’ve met has been a babe: lx, tza, estela, max

jergins fo class president

i believe photos steal my good-lookingness that’s why i look so ugly in them

harbl you posted pix long long time ago didn’t you?

maybe but i hate pictures ever since i was 4 y o

i posted a pix of me at the museum on the sandbox baltimore thread but you can’t see my head

no, i’m thinking back to like 2006 or maybe even before

your xls is creepy

lol

no lolling

if people don’t post wtll i just make up my own pictures of them in my head

i posted on WDY77

i met harbl and she was an attractive lady

also jergins otm re: sandbox babez cept i don’t know what estela looks like.

but i trust u

that max is one fine lookin’ lady

i imagine estela is:

avg height

has dark hair

has glasses

i imagine lxy is:

tall

has brown hair

does not have glasses

those are the only three things i categorize people by

except i heard lxy has mega gazongas so that’s another thing

i imagine t. silaviver is short because i think he has little man syndrome

my son is a little man

are you saying i’m wrong maybe i can conjure a different image

i’m taller than y’all (except maybe am0n)

probably you should conjure a new image for me too, harbl

how tall are you t. silaviver

lxy maybe you are short and have dark hair

roxy said i looked v. different from what she imagined, but then she said she expects every guy on ilx to look like libcrypt

lol i kind do too!

6’ 2“

yeah you are taller than me

how does it feel to be the tallest sandboxer?

eh, height not really an advantage on the internet

there once was a taller sandboxer (rip)

or maybe i should say good riddance

tijiji

maybe if we had a sandbox class picture we could stand in descending height order

would be cute

aw

having trouble rounding out the shortests people

hi

the word sandboxer makes me think of t.s. as gloves on and poised for a fite.

ok i think it is

lingbert (rip)

t. silaviver

amon (rip)

max

jergins

step hen faps

harbl

estela

smoove

jaq

tehersa

lxy

all i know about jergins is he is bald and left-handed

i have met max and step hen faps and jergins and in my head i can’t figure out which of them is tallest or shortest oh no

i think maybe i am taller than smoove but not 100% on that

i was thinking maybe you were taller than estela but i’m terrible at this

[This post has been deleted by an admin]

i think probably jergins is taller than max and amon, i would put them

jergins

max

amon

also i think maybe jaq is taller than estela?

how tall is jergins irl

i’ll just make my own list, how bout.

lingbert (rip)

stet

t. silaviver

step hen faps

keith

harbl

jaq

estela

tehresa

smoove

lxy

taller than me by a lot

(i added our board administrators, btw, because i have ideas about them too)

i think stet once said he was the tallest man alive so he’s on top

also you are wrong about other stuff

well, probably, since half the people i haven’t met, and i can’t even put in order the people i have met lol!

max said he was 6’ on tall ladies club thread

lxy u left me off ;_;

goddamnit. i had c/p problems. sorry, friend. i’ll add you in.

thankig u

i think keith seems tall too

yeah i could see some height on keith

i mean i don’t think he belongs between me and step hen faps, i think he’s just above t. silaviver

uk measurements don’t count

you want me to add them on your list?

teh, you should make a list too. everyone should. it’ll be a really fun contest with no winner because we ever know the truth!

yeah my list is

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

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Three months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

t. silaviver o“t”m

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Four months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

<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!

(driver’s license photo from a few months ago)

I mean, given the choice, I’d actually rather look like

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.

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!!!

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’.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Two weeks pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

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?

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Three weeks pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

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!

P1040199 by rubyred79, on Flickr

stevie d is the taller one!!

there is a lack of precision to that ruler wielding that is slightly worrying to a stickler.

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!!!

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.

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?

a. i kind of tried to explain the context, but i’m afraid it came out pretty garbled

b. 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

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.

omg are you calling me a LIAR?!?!?!?!??!?!?!???????????

no of course not! it came out wrong. i just meant that one more measurement will help us triangulate steve’s correct position.

o, what a tangled web we weave

when first we practice to measure steve

WHat I don’t look like prancing around, drunk on gin, in black undies, watching Monty Python:

lol<3

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯A month passes⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

finally, god!

some will be gleeful to know i had to stand on a stool to take that.

not me, i lied.

omg can’t wait

HARBL! I CAN’T EITHER!! OOOOOOOMG!

i saw steve tonight but we did not get a chance to measure because my parking meter had expired and i was scared of getting a ticket (those dc meter maids are something just awful).

i did propose brunch on sunday as a means to ensure that measuring can take place before he goes back home.

hugs to both of you!! <3

not surprisingly, harbl wins the tall girl sweepstakes

wow!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Four months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

This thread = <3 <3 <3

IKWJ&LLY

yike!

ha that last Y = L

i know why jergins & lxy look yellow

. . . because they were born on krypton and are secretly protecting us from unmentionable evil?

secretly hogging all the unmentionable evil to themselves.

jerg-l & lxyptlk

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯A month passes⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Let’s line up by height.

― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha)

Okay we’re gonna need Mookie. He made me feel short.

― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic)

Sandbox is so ahead of the curve

I heard a rumor that «someone» has allegedly grown an inch since their last measurement. I need photographic proof.

an inch is probably pushing it.

i refuse to be measured without estela present

we’ll see

i could talk to you on the phone while you got measured.

possibilities:

estela grew

lxy shrunk

estella is estela’s shorter twin

even having met ytth now I still have a hard time reconciling that he is taller than harbl and jergins!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Eight months pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

lovely.

o, what a tangled web we weave
