whales, plays, cross-stitch, Legos

[elsajeni]

Best suggestion I've gotten so far is that we go to Baja California, where we can see whales; the train journey there is also supposed to be great. However, this seems like it might not be totally feasible, since my mom immediately said, "There is no way I would've let you go to Mexico without an adult when you were 16!" and all the friends I'm considering taking with me are around 16, and I consider my mom a fairly representative mom. So, more suggestions would be appreciated. Somewhere vaguely westward that I can get to by train or bus.

I'm about to go to the Alley with my parents and see Proof (although I won't actually be posting this entry until we get back or possibly even tomorrow, by which I mean Sunday), which is supposed to be quite good (edited after returning from the Alley: it was). I'm dressed all formally and feel very sophisticated and New-York-y. I have a scarf and everything. (I am very bad at wearing the scarf, though, since I live in Houston and have no experience with such garments. It makes me feel most awkward.)

So today I went and bought a book of cross-stitch alphabets; I've already chosen the ones I want to use for the inscription on my eagle. (Yes, ones: one for uppercase and one for lowercase. And it's just going to say "Gwaihir Windlord," I decided to drop the "the.") I also bought a new Harry Potter Lego set. The Dueling Club. I think I'm addicted.

But they have little capes! It's so cute! And there's all kinds of moving parts! (There's a little swiveling throne-type chair which I think could entertain me for hours, and also a little dueling platform with bits that flip backwards so that you can realistically fling your little Lego wizards backwards when an especially strong spell hits them. I am way easily amused.)

And another side note about upcoming entries: it has come to my attention that I have never done one of those annoying surveys. Therefore, I shall be doing one shortly.

hee hee. Scarves are kind of funky by their very nature, me thinks. They get really useful for really cold days, but most of the time they seem impractical, except maybe as fashion accessories.

Ooo, ooo. I'M an adult. See? I'm twenty with a job and a rent and lots and lots of mature woes. I'll chaperone you guys to Baja.

Ooh! Ooh! Will you buy us booze, too?

Ahem. See, I don't think you'd count as a chaperone. In part because I bet you would buy us booze if we asked you to.

Missed you. Post more.

the purpose of The Scarf

Yeah. It wasn't cold enough to justify the scarf, but I needed it to cover a sizable area of bare chest. See, I was wearing a really low-cut shirt, and the coat, which is just an ordinary winter coat, left enough skin exposed that it basically looked like I was naked under the coat. So I put the scarf there to fill the gap.

*pokes, pokes*

So. Time to trade hair updates. What's yours been up to? Mine's got blue streaks.

Unh uh, I'd only buy liquor for myself, thank you very much.

You wouldn't share?

Nope. That would be irresponsible.

Of course, you could always take the bottle from me after I passed out.

That wouldn't be irresponsible.

You see?

Ah, of course.
