It all started with having lunch with Mom in Little Tokyo.
We grabbed sushi – I got her a sashimi platter and a bento with pork katsu and grilled salmon teriyaki for myself. I think we even shared a small Japanese beer as well. Afterward, we took a walk around, went into a small gift shop. There, as I looked around, saw in one corner, llamas, plush llamas. Yes, llamas. Pipp had this seemingly-unrealistic obsession with llamas – I think I asked her once why and she said, while I don't recall all the details, she was swimming at the beach one day when she was little, went in little too deep and couldn’t get out. As she was struggling, a llama, out of nowhere, came and pushed her to the shore and disappeared into the opposite direction it came from. It was enough to have little Pipp to share this fantasy-like experience with everyone and anyone she could get a hold of. But she had to learn soon to keep it to herself once she overheard her folks discussing about taking her to a doctor. Yeah, anyways, going back to the gift shop, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity and took couple pictures and shared them with her. She liked them. She liked them a lot. So, next time I was in Little Tokyo, grabbed four llamas from the same gift shop. Two big ones and two little ones. I went through all of them, picked the best looking ones I could find. My initial plan was to pack them up in a box and ship it through USPS. But it wasn’t long after since I quit my job at the time, a stressful job that turned my hair salt and pepper, and the idea of taking a long road trip to unwind sounded fitting at the time. Why not deliver these plush toys to her, in that way, I could accomplish three things; getting these llamas to Pipp, have a pleasure of meeting her, and enjoy a nice long road trip at the same time. So it began, a long road trip across the country so these little ones would be loved by one who could truly love them, and perhaps she could reminisce about that one time, a fantasy-like encounter with a real one.
And... that’s how I met Pipp.

I don't understand. How did this story begin with you having lunch with your mom? lol...
I met Pipp at seouls house when she invited me (and everyone else) to stay for a week and told us we had to prepare dinner AND look after her goldfish.
I was no good at looking after goldfish but Pipp, being brilliant at IT said we could turn seouls tv into an aquarium so we wouldnt have to feed her fish, someone else could, and it would be done with video game controls.
we then hatched up a plan where the guys had to cook dinner by making it into a grilling contest while the ladies sat back and had pedicures.

Hope you like vegetarian/vegan food. It will be very plain. Probably have to order some samosas for take out, if you want anything that's has any sort of flavor.
I fear if Pipp is driving, is it o.k. if 17Bees drives the bus?
I'm not really allowed to say, but she ran off with a biker gang, and nobody has heard from her since.
Majestic Llamacorn has departed CC
At least, I think she has
Otherwise, she'd totally be on our CCC ship
Do you think she'd make a good room mate @seoulsearch Does she snore?
I kind of liked having a cabin to myself, but if I had one of those balcony ones where I wouldn't get seasick, could work.
I mean you and Carrie Pie seems to be in kahoots.
But I am not sure if she'd like sharing with my giraffes.

@Pipp (aka Majestic Llamacorn) is one of the sweetest, most easy-going people you will ever meet.
She is an amazing roommie to any gal who is lucky enough to snag her first.
While I have roomed with her before, I can't say if she snores or not -- I honestly didn't notice -- and this brings up a good question... Is it proper etiquette to rat someone out to others if they snore??!!
The funniest thing is that Pipp is this sweet, gentle Southern belle -- but when @Lynx says something just to get a rise out of everyone, she'll shoot him a look that could cut through plexiglass!!
It would be worth buying a ticket for to see! 
And @Pipp loves all creatures big, small, and questionable (sometime the more so, the better,) so I'm sure she would adore your giraffes.
As for whether or not I'm "in kahoots" with @CarriePie or not, I can't say...
Everyone knows that keeping things under wraps lets you get away with even more kahoots!
Er, I mean...
Aw
Well, I don't know if you allowed to rat out anyone who snores, but everyone could hear my mum talk in her sleep.
She even did it in the hospital, and was really loud. The patients she was sharing a ward with couldn't sleep lol
She had no idea, and said, next time it happened I had to record her, as she didn't know what she was saying, and I couldn't really translate because all I heard was she was yelling something in Chinese.

I liveeeeee ! I had to take some time away do to family illness and yours truly taking a staycation in the hospital for a boulder lodged inbetween my kidney and bladder, but alas all is well . It has been removed and I'm recovering as we speak. Also.. I do not snore lol

What you all folk don't unnerstand is... I say that stuff for my own amusement. Y'all just fortunate enough to be there when I say it. I ain't tryin ta git no rise outta nobody. I'm just tryin ta innertain myself.
Yes.
The way you entertain yourself is by seeing how people react.
And I define doing things just to get people to react to them as trying to get a rise out of them.
If it's any consolation, why do you think I write half the threads I do here?
What do you mean 'alas all is well'?
Did you...not want to be well?
There will be a ship's doctor on our cruise. And a wellness sanctuary/spa
I was typing with anesthesia brain.... look over my flaws woman. You know what I meant. Lol
