So you'll be in California two weeks from now. Yep. Sitting on the sand, basking in the sun.... No, the other California. Sitting on the rocks, basking in the fog? Bingo.

Hey, I thought you felt really crappy all the time. Yep. I thought you weren't able to do normal things like drive and cook and walk unassisted. Yep. I thought riding in

I really do hope they're very happy there.

Maybe I should do a phone post. Hmm. One of these days I will do a Language Lesson Tape phone post from Minnesotan to English.

[mrissa]

Will try to remember to include that.

*hypothetically will plan to be there* Woop!

[mrissa]

Your other monkey is welcome, too, and I only wish that I thought it was likely to be a dog-friendly venue.

I like reading the things you post.

Every once in a while, you post something that makes me just sit at my computer and think, "I like Mrissa."

This was one of them.

I hope that things go as well as they possibly can, that you have a couple pleasant surprises, and that when the trip is over and you're safe home again, you're glad you went.

Take care.

[mrissa]

Thank you.

So are you going to come see me while you're out there?
No.
Awww. Why not? Is it because you don't love me any more?
Probably. Or else I never loved you to begin with, because ours was a doomed and tragic passion.

Understood. I felt it immediately, too. For the sake of Livejournal, we'll keep up appearances, but if I end up throwing myself in front of a steam-powered Russian novel, we'll both know why.

[mrissa]

Yah, okay. And then when someone speaks your name I will get out a lace-edged handkerchief but not actually cry, and I will repeat your name gently: "Ah, yes. Poor dear Avocado Vippix. He is...missed."

I understand that that's much more emphatics in the original Scandasotan.

[mrissa]

Ah no; I had already translated it. In Scandosotan it's a sigh.

Dude.

[reveritas]

[mrissa]

And you can do a language lesson phone post, too! With the various pronunciations of "dude"!

[brooksmoses]

Dude.
