You know, the one you didn't hit "Submit" on!

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 5 December 2003 05:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh that one. no thanks :-)

If I don't hit "submit" it's for a bloody good reason. I do this a lot more than I'd like to admit lately. But it's somehow therapeudic to type out the rant, then take a deep breath and just hit "new answers" without posting it. And it makes me a nicer person. (Or at least seem like one.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Friday, 5 December 2003 09:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Too often I get "No message entered" so I mostly "copy" my messages before posting.

Apart from when I don't and I go "Gaaah" and either retype of forgetaboutit..

1) The way I see it, the ILX boards have become secondary, it's more the message board of a bunch of people who meet socially or chat on IM.

2) In my first post I was just kidding, I'm kinda surprised by the sarky/serious response.

Something extremely uncomplimentary about hand-held mobile users in cars, which I pulled up after hitting submit once, getting the 'in the meantime' messages, and realising I may have been wound up....a common story, but not near as common as me not realising until too late.

Mine was a post that I thought was affectionately ribbing someone, but after recent unpleasantnesses I'm trying to do this less as it just upsets my friends.

I didn't even type this in yesterday, but thought about it - something to do with the fact that I was trapped at work, vomiting every 30 minutes and terrified to leave because I didn't think I could manage a 40 minute bus journey home :(

It must have been a 24 hour bug though as I feel pretty much ok today. Either that or I'm pregnant. watch this space...

Urgh. I'm feeling REALLY paranoid these days around here, as if everyone is talking about me behind my back when of course NO ONE talks about me EVER (which is probably good). I really need to stay away from here. I'm pretty sure I'm not emotionally sound enough to handle being around so much craziness. I've been thinking that the main thing I want to scream at everyone here is SHUT UP!!!!! but it wouldn't be much of a board then, would it? So I'll scream it at myself instead.

I don't even think Brad would've fallen for that, you know. And what with him being gone at all the chances of tricking people with that math is only about 43%!!!!

I am thinking just rounding it out and writing the 31st? That's the last pay period of the year so I might as well just do that instead of playing halfsies with that paycheck and leaving on the 29th which by all appearances would be the date exactly 2 weeks after the 15th?

31st sounds good to me, I seriously doubt anybody will notice. They will probably just keep paying you anyway.

Yeah, I really really need a smoke. Make sure you get plenty of sauce on the pizza though? Sometimes they get all gyppy with the damn sauce as if sauce is expensive.

Unfortunately they do not have garlic knots, just garlic bread. Friday we ate at the empanadas place? I am sorry, you should have said something. I will try and track down some garlic knots in my neighborhood for future reference.

No no you didn't have to get me garlic knots, I wasn't even thinking about dinnertime when I posted that, my assfuck coworkers should've got me garlic knots, do you see? They were going to Rigoletto's anyway to get chicken parms, wtf would've been so hard about even offering me anything? OH RIGHT THEY'RE DICKS.

I could totally go for fries!! I've been wanting to get fries for like ten weeks now, do you wanna go to the belgian fry place this weekend with me? Then we can go to the dance club, not that any exist in NYC anymore.

To clairfy anyway:

Occams' Napkin---> the idea that perhaps the simplest analysis, the one would fit on a napkin, is best. (See Occam's Razor). But I expected people to know that, so no other explanation is given. Short comments are not always meaningless zingers.

*cough*---> Comment on how reliable the electorial system is *anyway*, which is that it is *not* given the stolen election. A short comment, but I expected people to know its meaning without me going into a threr paragraph explanation and then getting called "pedantic" for doing so.

Carry on.

The majority of regular posters here, the majority of my friends, know my real name. I just don't want any random googler being able to pin me and the school I teach in down. That might cause unneccessary problems.

The Moderator thread is too long, and I'm sick of the whole argument, but I needed to type this out to blow off steam, so here goes.

1) I thought you were going to leave off the Blount stuff? This is the number one reason why so many people are not willing to give you a chance.

2) "If you don't like, don't click... blah blah blah" - sorry, there is a line below which this is not true. It goes towards the nature of this board and the tone. Most of us like this board because it is NOT as hostile and sexist and intimidating as many of the hellholes on the rest of the internet. DO YOU KNOW HOW INTIMIDATING IT IS AS A WOMAN to want to post to a board, and come in, and find dozens of offensive and sexist and demeaning threads? I will choose the rights of those posters to co-exist in a non-threatening environment ANY DAY over the "rights" to "free speach" of any one person. The end.

I think the mods are right, and the more you post, the less support you have.

Happily, I don't feel that way today. Everyone is hating on each other, but I think they've somehow forgotten to hate on me.

[I'm posting this here for real, not yadda yadda] Not that it makes difference etc, but oh let me just clarify here that when I said
I am taking a break from ILX aim chat for some time
...I specifically meant ilx AIM chat - and it has ZERO to do with all the drama around here (it's immoderately entertaining actually..if only there was more popcorn indeed!!) and everything to do with whats notgoing on with me - ie, not reaching the boals I set for myself since I spend my time discussing the world with lovely strangers like you.

Its funny that I am even bothering to make this distinction, since its just obvious that I'll probably keep lingering on the board and pop on by from time to time - especially if Julia ever testimonializes me on that thread. I genuinely feel pretty bad/stupid/awful/worthless now that I am soo behind on Kate's chart (yeah, only 9 months), and that my godawful, sickening, obnoxious habit of procrastination (which must be _pathological_ I am convinced - see how that overdue paper thread was started by me?) has stalled me from completing it, as well as getting around to Ms. Laura's (who NEEDS it)... if Julia ever revives that shit in January or whatever, I am so there.

But that's precisely the reason I want to stay away from aim chatting for now - I am tempted to enter every one I am invited to and find myself not getting anything done that I should - like working on horoscopes, reading more on different systems of analysis and calculation, going forward with my scripts and screenplays, working out and writing film ideas and actually doing something productive with life if I wish for it to go anywhere. I mean as much as I love talking to a lot of you, at the end of I'm wondering whether or not "chat," endlessly ruminating on something I find to be pretty trivial (pop culture) etc, is just a waste of time or not for someone who's largely unemployed-except-for-garbage-retail-jobs-and-doesn't-have-the-time-wasting-luxury/or-need-of-posting-from-an-office... since I question whether or not I'm learning anything from any of this, and I have to be honest and say no. I also often wonder whether I'm a fish out of water (or perhaps swimming in an incorrect/dangerous depth) whenever the discussion veer toward the abstract in any way since then go off and make a spectace of myself by posting steams on (metaphysical, etc) subjects no one here gives a shit about - I shouldn't discuss the rigors of Saturn with people who care more about kittens or postpunk - but damn if I'm not guilty of messing arond with stuff like friendster (sorry!) or "bukkake" etc myself - it's just too easy here. I _love_ the cyber interaction but I know that I'm not going to meet most of you, who will largely remain words on a screen as opposed to ever becoming a (literally) extra-textual presence in life (barringafewfantasiesumwhoa)... and the screen is pretty much driving me blind by this point. I do the dimming-the-light thing when I read at times which is so unhealthy for my eyes!!

I now (!!) believe that "Internet Addiction" is a serious illness, and as someone who's in one way or another been dealing with it for 7 years, I have to realize that now that college is over, if I ever want to accomplish anything enough is enough now - I have to cut back and really try to be judicious with my time. I'm not on here because there's not much happening in my life, but on the contrary there's at time so much oddness or overwhelming intensity in various doses taking place that I've used the Internet as a major distraction (which is so stupid, inflicted as I am with Chronic Procrastinitis), unintentionally getting dragged into its miasmic addictiveness and yet compulsively coming back for more. Of course I could blame some of you for this too, if you just weren't so damned attractive and intelligent and endearing...< g> I wish to emphasize though that this is just a personal situation with me, and in no way reflects upon anyone else here. I really envy the types who can just post/chat/review endless music/filmic-reviews-which-are-totally-irrelevant-to-their-actual-lives at work or the OFFICE, etc and then come home and not even think about signing on; I'd be much too stimulated by the often entertaining exchange of ideas/jokes on here to resist, even if I had an office...

So anyway, yes, to try to solve my dilemma I put a lot of AIM names on block for now, especially the ones who chat a lot..and I felt so guilty about this! Haha.. I've done his before, it's just oneo f those hiatus cycles, yadda, I could say, but this time it feels different - I have been out of school for exactly a year now, and it's time to get serious and try even harder, rather than talking to wonderful long-distance friends/cyber strangers who have no direct bearing on my various daily realities. Discipline! Self-control! Argh! Masturbation? I have a really strong drive that's been buried for quite a while, and all this employment adversity would have kick-started it already...if I had gotten offline. I cannot make anymore excuses for myself; every day we are closer to death without realizing it, and usually go on about unconsciously squandering our time on small things rather than looking at the big picture, and then ask ourselves "where did the years fly?" I just wanted to point out that if I'm sure I may have forgotten to block some names as I was trying to think of all of them off the top of my head, it's nothing personal..so please don't take it that way!

So, now that my overlong speech #47475675796 is over, I just want to give a shout out to all my peepz here, U know who U be..I'll definitely be around the boards but let's just say I'll "chat" later!!

love,
V

You never learned anything in all our chats? Hm!

Vic, I haven't testimonialized you on the Horoscope thread because I never got through the hundred (s?) of posts, and I don't like to post to things where I haven't read the thread in a cursory way at least, which is why I end up going through fits of barely posting at all, in contrast to my usual occasional-posting tendency.

But: in terms of the horoscope chat we had on AIM: you had a lot of general stuff right. Lots of time frames that you cited *were* periods that were good, or difficult, or whatever. You were of course very correct that this phase of my life really sucks--ha. The most interesting thing was a specific(recent) time that you said was a major shift with things in my life. You named two dates(spanning maybe 2 weeks?). I *did* have a recent big change in my life, at the time I thought it was temporary but things haven't been the same since. I looked back in my calendar (I keep track of some things in everyday life), and the date that things shifted dramatically for me was right in the middle of those dates you'd said actually. I *do* prattle on about personal things somewhat on ILX, but this was something that I hadn't talked about.

Now I'm curious so I'm doing a search on myself during that time period and it's all my typical blahblah. Nothing that would indicate what was going on with me. Nothing about my posts seem any different from the sort of everyday bullshit that I always post.

I don't know if/when I'll get to that thread, Vic, but I will say that it was really cool to get that horoscope reading. As I've said, there was some reeally fucking interesting accuracies.

Wtf, I have to get up in the morning, I will be hating myself.

I slept half the time, the rest I was extremely irritated.

That's my epitaph right there.

What do we know about abusers?

They minimize and deny their behavior
They veil power and control over others
They blame victims
They distrust others
They usually have low self-esteem
They are not in touch with their own feelings
