lost in the wilderness

[thez]

Last weekend was Mexican food and "The Painted Veil" with mko and shinikius. Very pretty movie. Graphic depictions of cholera, and all I could think of was The Oregon Trail (the computer game of my youth, not the trail).

This weekend was The Teeter House with Mko on Saturday where I had the CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO TORTE OF AWESOME topped with some tiny red berry

i <3 tbird park!! that was the first place i ever went hiking.

and it was crazy hot--er, unseasonably warm-- out today. damn you el neenyo

WE SHOULD HIKE THERE TOGETHER ON SOME NEBULOUS FUTURE DATE.

I know we're both freaky busy but it's starting to seem weird that we never hang out. PEOPLE ARE TALKING. And by "people" I mean "nobody at all, ever".

And it's going to get cooler again, so REJOICE or COWER or BOTH.

[sparklyoctopus]

YEAH, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WORK LIKE, TWO FEET FROM MY HOUSE. also, i will probably slash hopefully be moving FREAKISHLY CLOSE-BY as soon as march. like, the NE corner of 44th and thomas. WHOA.

BY THE MCDONALD'S AND THE STRIP CLUB???

Holy hell you sound like I ignore you people.

If you wanted hiking you could have gone up to the hills/mountains that are five miles from my doorstep. Or I suppose one day we could actually go up to Montezuma's Well. Mayhaps spring break...

I will grace you with my presence if you attempt to contact me. But the rescue chopper is doubtful.

[thez]

You're confused. "Grace us with her presence" was meant earnestly, in the "she is awesome and it would be awesome to hang out with her" sense. It was not meant sarcastically in the "Where the fuck is Lesley and why is she never around?" sense.

[shinikius]

In all fairness, I have been avoiding people this week so it could have meant where the hell I've been.

I was thinking of seeing that movie myself so it most definitely is something we should do.

I'm glad you guys got to go to Teeter House finally, but really, I don't want to see you guys getting lost whilst on the Greater Phoenix Trail and then have to have all this big blitzy fuss about it at my place of employment, at which point some members of your party get cholera in an unfortunate twist of events, forcing you to ford the river until one of your f**king oxen dies.

[thez]

That's why I always caulk the wagon.

Wink wink.

[sakibombshell]

Always the best strategy ... although the way you write it implies some sort of double entendre...

[rotsman]

I suggest for the next Z Nature Trip another of your great passions besides hiking.

You should go kayaking. In fact, you could make it a race! Invite your friends! We'll divide into teams; you, Mko, and shinikius in one boat and me, sakibombshell, and Ernest Borgnine in the other! ^_^

In other news, there's a student in 6th Hour that reminded me of you BEFORE she wore the Pez shirt. I'm not sure how to take that, Universe.

[thez]

Are you sure you're up for that sort of trip? If the events of "Deliverance" and your boat mate are any indication, that trip will not end well for you.

[sakibombshell]

If I should partake in this potentially life-altering kayaking trip, I am definitely NOT taking one for the team...

[rotsman]

...

Is there something you'd like to share about sakibombshell...?

Ernest Borgnine was in The Poseidon Adventure. Not that that's much better.... *^_^*

[thez]

I hope we never get lost in the wilderness together. We'd probably wind up walking off a cliff.

SPEAKING OF THE WILDERNESS, remember when you visited many moons ago and took pictures of you, me and Kate in the Petrified Forest? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THOSE?
