Hi everyone! I'm in Seattle.

I met the awesomest sauciest of people on the way, but which one is which I shall never know.

seraphcelene,

kita0610,

fodian, and

dakingrl take the cake. Cakes. They all have frosting on top of them and gooey innards. Okay that sounds dirty. Which is was meant to. I will reveal all their dirty secrets post haste. Watch this space. Or actually my IJ.

Speaking of up and moving and living in a new place, which I wasn't, how pretentious is it that some people feel the need to name their houses? ~~Very~~.

eta: I didn't mean it.

OMG HI JOY.

Good to hear from you! Glad you had fun with everyone!

*hands you cake*

My house is named Bob.

Joy! Yay!

Also, wtf: unless the house is, like, Falling Water, no. You do not name a house, geez.

Houses have a long tradition of being named in England. How that tradition ended up here, I'll never know.

HI HI HI! I am jealous that you got to meet all the shiny cakey people. How are you settling in??

Welcome to Seattle. And it's even all sunny here for you today.

Which neighborhood are you living in?

Oh come now, tkp. House names are okay. I mean you wouldn't want to call it ______ Shack. Gah! Even that sounds like a take-out place. I'll stop.

My in-laws named their property up where they have their cabin things.

I boggle at it. But I did almost name my house Sow's Ear Landing.

SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!

SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the weather...

JOY!!!!!!!!

I have missed you! And I somehow missed that you were moving ~~farther away from me~~ to Seattle until Fem told me. However, I have recently resolved to fangirl in all 50 states, and if I hit WA, I can round up at least 10 people I know, including you!

I'm kind of excited to see you. *acts cool*

punk houses in minneapolis all are named. (mpls=big punk/hobo/traveling kid scene.) my girlfriend has lived in houses titled "the squeezebox" (17 people in a six bedroom house), "the ink and stink" (dirty and tattooed) and "the twixt" (gender fucking at its midwest best).

one of the oldest is TMF ("the house of too much fun"), which has been around for 35 years with revolving door renters.

these houses tend to have enough people living in them (say, four or more housemates) that they're oft-referenced social landmarks. it makes sense to say "let's meet at the twixt at noon" rather than to say let's meet at that house on the corner of lake and portland with the tallish fence around the backyard at noon".

though i tend not to live like that, i admit i still name my houses (apartments) because of the cultural rub-off. my current is "the bee tomb."

(good to see you!!)

Seattle! It's like a mini SF with more rain. Less hills probably.

I have something to send you but I was waiting until you were ensconced at your new abode (that's my fancy typing for the day.)

Oh and Seattle is pretty much the garden capital of the country. Great weather for growing things.

Hey, welcome

Yay! Good to see you here, all moved and settled. Hope it all went well! And are you all fully-interneted up so we'll be seeing more of you?

Somehow I missed that you were moving to Seattle. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest (I'm down in Portland)!

And I am so jealous of you getting to meet all of the yummy gooey peeps!

Hi hi hi! I hear that Seattle is a wonderful place. And obviously it is, because it has some wonderful people in it, now including YOU.

Have fun in Seattle. Never been there...or any further west than Kansas.

Good to learn you're safely in Seattle. Best of luck!!!
