so i've started to worry about the glaring truth of it: i am matt's ambassador for bullish american tactics no-one in the rest of the free world would think to pull. my evidence

also, you have great eyes- total 1930s starlet eyes.
i always park illegally & hope for the best. i almost never get caught. it's taking a gamble but it often seems a better option that parking miles away & walking when all you have to do is buy one stamp, or whatever.
haha yes- approaching the car holding yr breath, looking for the tell tale bit of paper in the windshield wipers...and so much elation when it's not there!
you are beautiful you know? last night, when we were watching ID4 and you went upstairs, I had to change the channel because I realised the when the aliens come and atomise the white house, they'd atomise us too! that's why i was hiding in bed.
i like our botanical weekends; apple picking last week, conifer gazing this week! it turns out that peppers is the generic word for the whole family of...pepper?
"They are commonly called 'chili pepper' or just pepper in Britain and the US; the large mild form is called bell pepper in the US, capsicum in Australian English, and paprika in some other countries (though paprika can also mean different types, or the powder of dried capsicum fruits). Hot varieties are called chillis in Australia."
I love you smile in the first photo. I always wondered if you liked when I kissed you? Now i know. x
matthew will you answer the question of my good friend sarah / ladieschoir down there? i can't remember the name of that plant.
i'm glad you turned off ID4 - i can't believe we made this solemn "in case of national disaster" plan!! i am going to stick by it TO THE LETTER so you'd better do the same! i'll fight all the way up I-81 come alien or apocalypse and i'll be expecting you to be at glenstone road waiting for me!
i can't believe we use the same word as the english do for pepper. i like capsicum, it just sounds delightful to my ears. the things you teach me.
i love you! you should get going and work at home now.
When I came back from Australia I was PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE of stopping myself from saying things like 'capsicum' and 'take-away' and 'how are you going' etc. I think it really ticked my father off for a while, like I had assimilated into something he was unfamiliar with and the only lingering evidence was my vocabulary. But they MOCK you, those Aussies, if you don't buy into their SECRET CODES. ;)
hahaha, that's fantastic. we watched this discovery channel documentary ("docco", as some might say) last night and they showed melbourne and i thought of you. i say some of those things too, also "car park" for parking lot and "parking brake" for emergency brake, it's a little strange. i haven't yet said "how are you going?" yet but it delights me that you did. i think you should still!
oh, the arboretum looks lovely!!! those columns are soooo incredible. also, you look happy as a little clam and that makes me happy. also, i need to know what that poison boil down plant was? i'm interested, but not because i want to poison anyone. i'm just a curious sort. hemlock? oleander? must know, hils. i'll make the trip just to know!!! much love, sarah.
sarah, i've put matthew TO THE TASK to inform you of this plant's name (he told me yesterday but i've sadly forgotten!) - it always warms my heart when you comment in one of my entries, you are such a dear friend. i would love to go to the arboretum with you, we'd have such fun. i hope matthew answers you soon because i am curious about its name as well!
three cheers for matthew!!! in other news, very very soon I'm getting hermit crabs, and I'm naming one after you. That should be flattering. please be flattered, and not appalled or whatnot, my dear.
that's actually the best thing i've heard in forever! i love your mind and i am HONORED - i hope that my hermit crab has a heart of gold and is the best of the lot. he/she/it better represent well. and be a star pet for you. i'm going to put a fictionalized account of this in the book i'm trying to finish writing - you are a dream for creative ideas :)
Okay, that list there just made me laugh several times over, because that pretty much sums up a significant part of my relationship. EMBRACE IT, I say. Interestingly, I have a nearly identical picture of koi (complete with big scary mouth upon surfacing) from one of our arboretum-type dates. Our lives mirror each other in ways that make me feel warm and fuzzy. :)
haha, i'm so glad! you're a riot mari. i'll EMBRACE IT, i will. the koi are so nasty but yet so innocent? just ridiculously trusting and ridiculously greedy. i can't decide how i feel! i LOVE that you two go on dates to zoos and arboretums, nature-y stuff is WHERE IT'S AT. i'm proud that we mirror one another in such fantastic ways! let's keep it up.

yay for illegal parking - it always feels like a simple victory when returning to your ticket-free car!
