Uploaded this for my mom, though I might as well share! It's a music video made of clips from our vacation to Germany a year and a half back. More of interest to me is the fact that during me and Bryce's drunken conversation, near the end of this video? I attempt to insult him by saying, "You're like the thing Captain Nemo was afraid of!" Because that makes utter sense.

...P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way?

[unicorn]

Or perhaps the giant squid.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Terrifying as Australia is, I think I was talking about the squid. Not that is makes much more sense.

[unicorn]

Maybe that is where the squid lives. A shocking thread of connection!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It would be a convenient place for such a creature. It's an island, so boats to devour much be coming and going fairly regularly...

[unicorn]

Waiting there in comfort and obscurity to strike.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

And I bet they can swim pretty fast, so they could book to anyplace on the planet in a hurry!

[unicorn]

So if we ever get giant squids, we'll have to move to Australia.

The icons keep leaning in opposite directions, look!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Don't we want to avoid squids?

Now I have to actually look at them to make sure the pattern continues!

[unicorn]

Depends. I've heard they're pretty smart. I bet they'd make good minions...

Yeah, and more of mine lean the other way. No fair.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

How will we handle the communication barrier?

I think mine are EVENLY DIVIDED. So I can probably do this for longer than you!

[unicorn]

Hand gestures!

Nooo, the bitter taste of impending defeat.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Do they speak ASL?

MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

[unicorn]

No, but just plain gestures work pretty well on my deaf dog...

Maybe I can find new icons. To foil your evil plot.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

They are squids! They might have an entirely different frame of reference, making mere gestures useless!

That's an awful lot of work. Maybe you should just surrender!

[unicorn]

It is worth TRYING. They are apparently trainable.

Surrender is not an option.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Trainable to do what?

Are you certain about that?

[unicorn]

Well, they can open jars and stuff.

Yes!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I can do that, too! What can they do that would be useful.

It'd be so much easier!

[unicorn]

Open ten at once?

What would be the fun of easy.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Huh. Anything else?

I... I don't know! EFFORTLESS... ness.

[unicorn]

Tentacle pornos.

Pffft, like we have anything else to do. Well. I do. And you probably do too. But you know what I mean.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

... Anything else?

OF COURSE I DO.

[unicorn]

Be creative! Plus they are cute.

YOU SEE THEN WHY I CANNOT STOP.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

But we are talking about giant squids. Very giant.

OKAY MAYBE I CAN'T. ISN'T THAT ICON LEANING THE WRONG WAY, THOUGH?

EDITER! EDITER! AND IT'S STILL ON THE WRONG SIDE.

[unicorn]

They are cute and giant!

It is. I got confused because your last one was pretty far over to the left.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

How are they cute? They're pretty hideous by most standards.

Lu was leaning to the right, though.

[unicorn]

They are cute by my standards.

Well... Lennox is leaning left there, though.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

What is not cute, by your standards?

He's almost entirely on the right, though! So it makes sense. Look, this one counts, too, because Peter is heading right.

[unicorn]

Hmmm. Certain varieties of insect?

Like Xigbar, here!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Which ones? I'd think most all of them qualify.

Yes, but your direction is left.

[unicorn]

The ones that aren't furry and don't have funny faces when blown up to many times their actual size.

In that case, both this Franziska and your Trish count for me. I think our standards are becoming confused.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Ew. Furry.

I think the rules should be that I win, and you surrender.

[unicorn]

I think your rules suck!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have let me be in charge of the rule making!

[unicorn]

I'm pretty sure I did not name you rulemaker at any time. Just pointed out that our current rules weren't really clearly defined...

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Now that's how to get people to look at your vacation photos.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Setting them to music? It was my mom's idea! And my sister spent forever working on them.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Tender my compliments to both involved parties. It looks like an AWESOME time.

Did you get much guff for being American tourists?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Nah, we had a posse of natives who helped us fit in. And even when I wandered off on my own, everyone was super nice to me, even if I spoke like three words of German.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Mmm. My family's going to Ireland at the end of August, and I'm worried about being a tourist. Even thought the primary language over there is English. Aaugh.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

You'll probably be fine! I've had maybe two people be rude to me whenever I'm traveling abroad. People generally think it's awesome if you're curious and interested in their culture, but also friendly and polite!

[yamiaudra.livejournal.com]

Looks like fun! You guys were so drunk! *laughs*
^^

When is that convention? That the one you're going to with your mom in San Diego?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It's the one in San Francisco, yeah! We go at the end of this month, and come back on August 3rd.
