SOOOOO

FIRST THING'S FIRST, check out this amazing site someone sent me:

http://gallery.andreas.id.au/knitting.html

I have no idea who did these, which is a real shame because they look like someone's thesis project. They are so beautiful and well constructed. I wish I knew the scale on them. Anyway,



So it's march the 1st and I haven't posted since December the 29th! what a bummer!
i've been busy with school and sometimes (most times) doing anything else is totally tedious.

so there is much to be said!

1. my 21st birthday is on the 15th
2. spring break is coming on the 24th
3. got a new AMAZING pipe
4. i gots babies!

i'm turning 21 on saturday, march the 15th. it's pretty awesome, but pretty bizarre and scary. i'll be a bona fide adult... i'll be able to rent a car and tell kids about back in my day when we had dial up internet and ace of base. yes, those were simpler times.

spring break is coming and it should be awesome. it will be the first spring break where i can essentially do whatever the fuck i want with some legal limitations... but not ALL legal limitations as far as age goes. with that, it shall be incredible. i didn't, however, think ahead and invited my little sister nikki (15 years with epilepsy) to hang out for the whole week. bad idea? we'll just have to see about that when it comes around.

this amazing pipe that i got... well... it's amazing. it's a vapor pipe! now, i don't know if you guys are familiar with vaporizers, but they are pretty fucking amazing. basically, instead of the flame touching the herbs (whether it be weed or lavender or mint or chamomile or anything!) it heats a volcanic rock just before touching the herbage so it bakes it instead. What does this do laura? you ask. well, instead of giving off dangerous toxic carcinogen filled smoke, it just gives off the vapors created by the herbs reaching a certain level of heat given off by the even distribution of volcanic rock filtration with a regular bic lighter.

translation: better for you, better high!

tastes just like REGULAR vaporizers, only completely portable AND not 300 dollars! and! there's more!

the top screws on so it's completely spill proof, AND it's powder coated so it's durable as hell. i've dropped it at so many parties it's ridiculous. with a glass piece, you'd have to go to the nasty head shop and buy another and haggle and bargain... fuck that! with the Vapor Buddy, you can count on having a good time, every time.

and there is my spiel, hopefully they will give me my own line of designer proto pipes. here's what mines looks likes:

VAPOR BUDDY!

lastly, world... ladies, especially... meet Dude & Walter:







The Dude









Walter


these are pictures of when they were little babies. they're a little bigger right now. currently, they are the pride and joy of my life. i love them immensely and it's incredibly embarrassing. i went to this party last night and they were pretty much all i talked about. some people are cat people, some people are dog people, i'm DEFINITELY a rat person. absolutely, no questions.

i sure miss you guys and i sure love you guys.

Dude and Walter and fucking awesome.
You need to knit them bowling shirts.
21 is a biggie,legal and all that shit. Don't fuck up now, is my advise. But you already knew that, smarty pants! The new bowl sounds awesome, but I'm still thinking about them brownies. Be nice for a weekend hike to have them in the knapsack.

See you soon and it's about fucking time you posted something.

Smooches

Happy Birthday - enjoy your first ETOH drink legally!
Your vapor buddies link takes me to DVD's on eBay - maybe I am missing something (?)
Rats look cute - they look like they are in their element.

I love your rat babies! I've always wanted a rat. They're super smart and clean. Marty says Jack would eat him and he's probably right. We miss you! Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

Laura,

I love rats too! I've had 2 of them over the years. I even dedicated one of my books to my rats. Dude and Walter look like real sweeties.

Anyhow, I don't know if you ever saw the reply I left for you regarding the gocco, so here it is again:

Laura -- I'm so sorry to hear about your ebay experience! Was ebay able to do anything for you? Anyhow, you can get supplies here in Portland, check out Laurie Mitchell's site http://lettersandprint.com/ for contact information. She no longer sells goccos though, but you can check with Judy at http://northwoodstudios.tripod.com/, or Marlene at http://www.marlenewatson.com/. Also, you can join IPRC http://iprc.org/ and use their goccos, if you don't want to buy them.
