Kirkland Bubble

Rumor has it that housing prices are falling, or at least stabilizing. Not so in Kirkland, WA. In the Kirkland Bubble (not all of Kirkland -- just west of 405, North of 520 and South of 116th) housing prices only go up, up, up. There are many reasons -- Kirkland (not Totem Lake, not Bridle Trails, not Juanita) a nice little town and many people want to live there. All the Microsofties pour over the hill and buy everything in sight. And everyone wants to buy here because the prices only go up and up and up. The Bubble distorts reality, and looking for real estate inside the bubble can cause suicidal ideation. But then, so does looking for real estate outside the bubble. The bubble is also metastisizing, creeping ever northward along the lake, so more and more neighborhoods North of the current bubble are being eaten by the bubble. Life inside the bubble is special and magical and also insidious and evil and soul-sucking.

That 900 square foot 1940 rambler with no roof West of Market just sold for 850K. Fuck the Kirkland Bubble, I am never going to be able to buy a house here. I am such a loser.

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

honkin

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
