Great pictures Petrarch. Larry is having a great time. :)
wow, great pics PL! Larry looks cuter than at the beginning of his trip. the California sun must have been good for him :)
:lol: Wow, Hollywood's done their best in films, but pics of Larry are what really make a person curious about the U.S. Clearly a bit of leprechaun magic at work. :D Seriously though, it is true that this country is huge and, as I'm sure you'll see as Larry continues his adventures, has an absolutely mind blowing variety of places, many of them really worth seeing. I must say I find it pretty amazing myself that I routinely travel back and forth between skyscrapers among drifts of snow and Spanish style architecture along sun soaked beaches, all within my native land. California in and of itself is pretty neat, since I could enjoy a day of sunny temperate weather today walking under green palms by the sea, while some friends of mine drove a mere two hours from where I am to the local mountains and went skiing among the pines. Gotta love this place. Let me know if the the USA ever makes the to-visit list. :)Quote:
Wow, he got to be in snow and then on a beach! That's cool!
And those pics made me curious about the USA which is so weird because it's not a place in my to-visit list! Impressive!
I'm sure you'll find lots of great things to do. The beach there is so beautiful, and Larry's dying to get back to the shore and try executing an even more grandiose sandcastle. If I'm remembering right you guys have one of the missions too, and certainly a fair amount of quaint historic mission style architecture scattered about. Not to mention you'll have him for New Year's, and Larry's always highly photogenic at parties. He's really looking forward to coming to Ventura. :)Quote:

Yes, Larry's been working hard on his tan. California seems to agree with him. :cool:Quote:

I actually think that Hollywood is what has put me off the USA :lol: If I managed to forget all the Hollywood movies I've seen and all the TV series and all, maybe I'd start planning my trip to the USA ;)Quote:

Well, Larry took off for Ventura today in Priority Certified style. He should be with Adorero Dio in just a couple of days. Let us know when he arrives! I must say that I'll miss the little guy. Parting is such sweet sorrow. :bawling: :D
While Larry's on his way, I thought I'd post some of the pics I took of him on Christmas Eve. He started out in a Religious mood, going to visit the manger scene along with the shepherds and wise men:

Then he wanted to check out the Christmas tree:

And the Christmas table:

After spending this much time with Larry, I knew that the sight of him in an empty wine glass was bound to mean trouble ahead:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...nWineGlass.jpg
Soon we found him sitting up in the middle of the Christmas tree lustily singing carols:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...istmasTree.jpg
Shortly thereafter he started riding around the tree in circles among the presents on one of Santa's miniature reindeer:

Finally he ended up singing in the streets of the miniature Dickens Christmas Village we have out for the holidays. First he caroused by the castle and observatory:

Then he ended up sitting down between the Old Curiosity Shop and the Post Office:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...inVillage2.jpg
That reminded him of the real Post Office and was the only way we ever got him to get in some sleep so that he'd be up for packing for his trip up to Ventura. Looking forward to seeing what he gets up to on New Year's, A.D. :)
Aww Petra! You have such an imagination! Those pics of him in the wine glass and on the raindeer had me in stitches! He'll miss you!:p
Ooooh! I can't wait! I'll check the mail every day. Yippy! I hope he has a very safe trip and I'll post as soon as I receive him.
looool
I cant wait to see ventura! And there better be a pic of lily and yourself with Larry!:D
Thanks for all the wonderful pic, Petra. They're all so cute.
I'm looking forward to hearing about his stay w/ adorero.
Looks like he had a great Christmas. Great pics Petrarch. :)
I enter my house tonight and my brother says sarcastically "Hey, do you know an Adorero Dio?" and what do you know but in his hand is a package. I open it up quickly and there smiling back at me and already rambling of about all his great adventures was Larry! I finally convinced him to settle down (seeing as it is 10 o'clock at night and time for me to be in bed) and he told me his trip was wonderful.He is smiling as aways and will be sleeping in an old doll bed I dug out just for the occasion. Tomorrow we will be going to a homeless feeding in the morning where it will be Christmas all over again- I'll see if I can't get a few pictures (if I can get my camera to work :crash: ). Then we will be going to see the beach if the weather is right and sometime in the next few days go to see a museum. But for now, both of us are quite tired and are heading for bed.
Hoorar, Larry's in Ventura!
that's a very good idea. it's about time that hobo of a leprechaun did something useful :D ;)Quote:

If anyone can reform this leprechaun's madcap dissolute lifestyle I'm sure it's our A.D. :) Can't wait for the pics!
:eek: Personally I am very sensitive to that and if I send stuff to online friends I need to know their name at least, and can't put myself to use their screen name even if I'm not familiar with it. Same as I don't really sign with my screen name (well except that the one I have on this forum is one I've used in real life too so it doesn't feel weird to do it). Well I mean nothing wrong with that I was just commenting because it came to my mind :) (by the way how can you send something if there's no surname for the recipient? Although I guess it works in the US as most people seem to live in single houses? You wouldn't get anything to me at my address in Italy as other 7 families share the very same address, you'd need my surname to make sure it reaches my post box - well sometimes the postman leaves stuff over the boxes when he's in doubt whom they belong to)Quote:

As I say, it wasn't until I got to the post office that I realized I didn't have a name to send the package to, but it looked like a house address, so I figured there shouldn't be too much of a problem finding the right person. I stuck the screen name on because I figured that at least if there was some mix up and people were asking around, AD would recognize the name as something connected with her. I think perhaps especially being one of our younger members AD may prefer to keep her surname to herself anyway? I actually can't remember how Virg. addressed my Larry package. I think I gave him my impossibly spelled surname, but maybe my postwoman is still puzzling over who this "Petrarch's Love" person is? :lol: In any case, they usually just deliver everything addressed to my apartment number to my box regardless of name. It seems to me that in the U.S. the name in most cases is important only occasionally if there's some error, like a friend of mine left off the apartment number on the address or something. Maybe others, like my friends who live in the commune house have more trouble with that sort of thing though.Quote:

Yeah - maybe it's also different in the US. I would think it's barely legal here to send something without a proper name... though I might be wrong. Recently I participated to some mail exchange on another forum, and all the people who requested a card to be sent from me gave me their full name, as I suppose that's what feels natural. I understand the concern about giving names online, especially for very young people whose parents may be worried about it. I hate to give my full name simply because I dislike my surname, but I feel that there's no other way to receive mail... Maybe I should try, especially as now in England I live in a house for the first time in my life (and I'm already planning on never to do that again next time I move, living in a house with such a fragile little door is a nightmare if you've spent most of your life on a third floor (fourth for Americans ;)) with huge doors :lol:Quote:

and I get junk addressed to "Resident" sometimes. It could be addressed to I don't know, Hannah Banana and they would still drop it off here.
Indeed, here in the US names don't matter very much. And I do live in a house with only my family. Larry is enjoying his stay but is very mad at the moment, as am I, because my camera decided to die on us. I have pictures on my phone but with no way to transfer them to the compy. I am having my technological genius of a brother work on it right now and will get pics up asap. We went to an Old Folks home today and he enjoyed seeing my church. Tomorrow we will be playing with puppies and then going to a party for New Years eve- if my digital camera is not up and running by then I will buy a disposable one and scan them to the compy. Larry says hello to everyone by the way.
Glad that leprechaun's finally been dragged off to church (I thought of taking him to Christmas Eve service, but then I thought of the expression on the pastor's face as I snapped a pic. of a leprechaun by the altar :lol: ), and I bet he was a great help cheering up the people in the old folks home. Hope that clever brother of yours can find a way to get the pics out of the camera, and hope you get your camera up and running again soon so that we can see the continuing adventures of Larry. Any great plans for this evening? Just don't let Larry have too much of the bubbly (unless it's sparkling cider I suppose).
It's good to see Larry finally have some wholsome fun. After New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, he must be tired of all the wickedness. :DQuote:

Tonight we have a party (a youth one so it could get wild :p ) and then tomorrow there's another one (adults- even more chance). So maybe he'll get a break from all this 'wholesome fun'. :D Though with me, that is quite hard. Today we might visit the old Mission in Ojai.Quote:

Man you guys should put some faith in Lily...She might not be a murdering Leprechaun mutilator...I mean there is a chance? Right?!
:lol: Well seeing as a few pages ago she hinted at doing something to him, I have to be worried!;)
OOHHH!! maybe she can make him a little professor jacket!
I hope she doesn't make a devo hat for them...spooky

No way! Larry is safe and sound and pics are on their way!
Though Lily has been anxious about seeing him....I'll make sure she has no mutilating tools in hand when she does. XD
:lol: I come here and there's all these posts about me?! Talking about me behind my back, I see how it is.
To be honest with you guys, I haven't even seen Larry yet. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to see him Sunday afternoon and then the experiments can begin. Don't worry, Larry won't get hurt...much...I'll monitor his mind while I expose him to cheesy movies and excessive mutations.
But maybe it will voluntary experimentation. He'll go through some soft core mutation. :D (If he wants.)
Adorero told me to put a "mwahahahaha".
So, mwahahahahahaha!
You know what she just said to me? I suggested that I decorate the package when he gets mailed off again and she said "nothin scary, though, right?"
Geez. :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: Dont you dare Miss Lily Adams! :lol: I cant have that poor leprechaun come back here tramatised!:DQuote:
