lovely

[ontology]

(full disclosure: I may have to slit the tires on everybody's cars so that nobody can drive me to the airport on Monday night.) 

Kyra and I have been adventuring. Sometimes adventuring takes the form of sitting at the kitchen table (or, currently, me on the sofa several feet away and her at the table, because I'm too lazy to plug the computer in closer) reading the internet and showing each other things, and me reading the entire archive of Wondermark in two or three days (WHICH IS ALL KYRA'S FAULT), and lying about and talking about our stories and Story in general. Sometimes adventuring takes the form of Lots of Shopping, for verily we are very bad at being geeks sometimes. (But -- almost-matching LOVE IS THE MOVEMENT t-shirts! and I bought a lovely dress and several very unique pairs of shoes and odd necklaces at the thrift store and I haven't paid more than thirteen dollars for any one item and those were shoes that likely retail for $75! ...Uh, and the other thirteen dollar item was a USB mouse because my touchpad just went mad, augh.) Sometimes it takes the form of watching things, like Chuck and Iron Man and, um, Twilight, with Kyra's friend Callie, in which we laughed really really a lot and MSTed the entire thing and quoted cleolinda and Growing Up Cullen a lot...

And yesterday we drove up to Flattop to look at the mountains and take many many pictures and it was gorgeous and I am still fascinated by the way clouds cast shadows on the mountains. On the way back down the mountain, we stopped to spend forty-five minutes climbing around a lot of strange rubbish people had left on the side of the road, taking many many many pictures, because it was really lovely and fascinating -- a bathtub full of grass, ripped-up sofas, rusted dishwashers with cogs and gears and pipes spilling out of them like entrails...

And now we're off for another adventure!

Oh that all sounds positively glorious!

I say, LOVE IS THE MOVEMENT shirts? Where were you so fortunate as to obtain these?

[faeriemaiden.livejournal.com]

They were in a sale rack in a store in the mall... Urban Vibe(s?), I think. Kyra's is black and soft pink; mine is blue on white and I may tea-dye it or something merely because white and I don't always see eye-to-eye, but anyway it is quite lovely (and five dollars!).

How marvelous! And tea-dying sounds good - I don't get along well with my white shirts, either.

Oh do try to go out to Eklutna and take pics. You will love the spirit houses. And I think you'll love the Kobuk too if you get back downtown. some days I miss Alaska so much.

Yeah, Eklutna was one of many places I was hoping to take her--like Seward or something--but at this point there isn't time, which is sad in a number of other ways too.

!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU TWO LIKED WONDERMARK. ISN'T IT MADE OF DEPRAVED, SCHOLARLY AWESOMENESS? :)

[lady-moriel.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT. I forget if I hooked someone else on it or not, and...I'm trying to think where I discovered it originally. xkcd, maybe? But whichever, I love it to little bits. So of course I had to share, and then she got addicted. As one does.

I KNOW RIGHT. Kyra was like "read this strip it's hilarious", so I did and it was, except then I ended up going backwards through the ENTIRE ARCHIVE. IT IS FANTASTIC AND DEPRAVED AND WONDERFUL.

So yeah...your plane left like two hours ago and I am at home feeling all sad now, partly because I keep thinking of things that I wanted to do with you that we never got around to, which is kind of a dumb thing to be sad about except it also means, you know, you're not here anymore. And I already miss giggling with you over random stuff and making fun of Twilight and discussing stories and cracky fandom stuff and talking about clothes and shopping with you and addicting you to Chuck and Wondermark and watching random YouTube videos and...things.

I did download Google Talk, anyway...and you should download Skype since it's free calls even if you don't have a webcam...and we both should post more stuff pictures on Facebook and Flickr...but yeah. Not the same.
