Brief Update
April 10th, 2008 by Evil Beet
So I’m just getting settled into Seattle, which is why posting has been slow.
I rented an apartment in Queen Anne, and I move in tomorrow, so posting should resume as normal by then. Today I explored University Village (explored = shopping) and then went out to Lynnwood to see friends. On this one street in Lynnwood, there is a Red Lobster, an Olive Garden AND a Panda Express. All in one glorious row of culinary genius. I should have rented an apartment on that street. Seriously, whenever anyone’s like “OMG I loooove Spago” my response is “Oh, you clearly haven’t tried the Olive Garden.” No matter what my financial situation, my idea of fine dining will always hover somewhere around lower middle class.
I’m staying right now with my friend Trish, who lives in the South Lake Union area of downtown Seattle. The public transit system out here is called South Lake Union Trolley. This morning, Trish got me a shirt that says “Ride the S.L.U.T.” I am beyond delighted. I love you, Trish!!!
Anyway, sorry posting has been slow the past few days, but thank you all for your comments and support. It means the world to me. Things should be back to normal (well, as normal as they get around here) by tomorrow.
xoxo,
Beet

Welcome to Seattle Beet! You will love it here
Welcome to Seattle! I live in Enumclaw, you have to come thru here to get to Crystal Mountain for snowboarding! You will love it here!
OMG how cute! I heart life changes. So refreshing.
Again, from Wa (Olympia) and it’s great here. Have fun, and be sure to go to that wonderful bagel shop on first ave (near Pike place). You’ll see a big bagel with wings painted on the glass.
God, I wish I could pick up and move to a new city like you have. I am sooooo
jealous, but in a good way. Enjoy your new digs.
OMG – you’re in Seattle?? I love that you’re kickin it with the fabulous Trish!
Abby!
Yes!
Come visit!!!
My boyfriend left Seattle (he lived in Capital Hill) a year ago, and misses it like crazy. I miss visiting him there. Grab a cup of joe at Fremont Coffee, and check out the Lenin Statue and the bridge troll (yes, troll) while you’re there.
Hey, welcome to Wet Washington! Where the Rain Festival is January 1st through December 31st!
It is so pretty here; sometimes the rain gets to me a bit, but I know I’ll miss being here if/when I ever move, so I do my best to just love it all! :c)
I live down near Portland, but I’ve friends and a sis up in Tacoma & Lynnwood areas. :c)
I too love Red Lobster (a bit rich for the wallet, but I still go sometimes), and Olive Garden, home of my first two dates. :c)

My boyfriend whom I met on millionaire dating site “wealthyRomance.com” last year will go to that city nexy week. Any advices?
Beet…. I love you. You’re on my blackberry every day. I’m a girl and I’m not even a lesbian but love you!
thats cool…but don’t commit suicide!
I love the shirt!!
Love the shirt,
and a toast to new beginnings!
It’s only the beginning now
…a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
…sometimes we walk alone
The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.
So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.
Into each life will always come
A time to start anew
A new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.
Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.
The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It’s only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.

Have a good one!
RIDE THE SLUT!!!
gotta love it! that is freakin hilarious…
Hey! Welcome to Seattle. Good thing you moved here now. When we’re finally starting to get some sunshine (nevermind the past 9 months of gloom). The summer will be fantastic. It always is. Make sure you check out the Cap. Hill eateries. Oh and if you like Indian Food make sure you check out Cedar House in the U-District. It’s the best Middle Eatern/Indian food on earth.
went to seattle for three weeks to visit a friend and lost my tan
i am jealous. i am in AZ but hail from Seattle. I love it so much and hope you will too.
To be fully Seattle I also highly recommend the Cupcake Royale “Legalize Frostitution” Tshirt. And oh yeah, while you are there, Cupcake Royale’s cupcakes are completely addictive! (I don’t work for them, I just have a lil bulge around my middle that shows my devotion to that place!)
Beet! Love the shirt! I just ordered one for myself!
if you like olive garden, you should really try Carrabba’s!
good luck with the new place :)
I have to get me one of those shirts when I go to Seattle On Wednesday!!! I ♥ It!! Just thinking of all the punchlines I am going to get is cracking me up!!!
Oh my God! I must have that shirt!
I think your dining tastes might be my fault. When you were 4, I took you to McDonalds and halfway thru your Chicken McNuggets and fries you said , “I think McDonalds has very fine food”. Maybe if I had taken you to a higher end burger joint, you would have turned out differently.
OG is so corporate, one word beet, Mama’s. you will die for Mama
