I have never, ever heard a Rolling Stones album.

I am unable to follow even simple plots in the movies.

I am 36 and cannot drive; nor can I use a mobile phone or a lawnmower.

I stopped going to synagogue the week after I got my Bar Mitzvah. The rabbi stopped me in the street one day, got out of his car, and threatened to take it back off me! Can you revoke a Bar Mitzvah??

the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I am 30 and cannot drive, and don't intend to
I am lousy at sex, but a pleasant kisser (i am told)
I have not done a jot of work this week or last
I haven't bothered to visit any members of my family this xmas

Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

there's lots of groups or ppl in the canon that I've never heard a record by: rolling stones, motown, stax, james brown (the odd tracks I've heard on the TV but not a Cd collection). plenty of composers too.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I am 24 and still live at home. I am also probably not very good at sex. I am without God.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't even remember if I'm good at sex.

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i stole Bob Monkhouse's jokebooks

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Julio, buy a James Brown cd.

I stopped going to synagogues the day after my Bar Mitzvah. If a rabbi ever said that to me, I would likely tell him to fuck off. He's welcome to it anyway.

I'm very grumpy this morning.

I can sing in tune only about 40% of the time.

Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i am still in love with at least two people who are not in love with me anymore (for differing reasons).

if i don't somehow turn my life around in the next few months i am going to probably off myself.

hopefully this will be my last post to ilx for the foreseeable future, but i doubt it.

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm beginning to think that either 'love' is a lie or else I am incapable of human feeling.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a carton of milk in my fridge with the expiry date of Nov. 11

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm at work and looking at ilx on this all-time rock-bottom day when I could be here: December 30th ILx Pub Crawl: The Other Euston Hexagon aka The Mornington Crescent

This situation will be rectified within the hour.

Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

we lead uncannily similar lives today tim tim

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

not unless you've sorted your hair out, we don't.

Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

You would think you would've "remembered" to throw that milk out, Huck. Don't worry, I just smacked myself in the nuts for that one.

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm within 500 metres from that event right now yet i'm still at the office. :(

ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i love the royal george pub as well

ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I just noticed it yesterday. When I added a new carton to the collection (exp. date: Jan. 15). I was going to take it out to the garbage, but I didn't. I'm so lazy in the winter.
But I did eat cereal for breakfast today for the first in nearly two months! And I used the right milk!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I've read 2 books in the last 5 years and they were 'Atomised' and 'Platform'

dave q, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

take part in the 'I love books' book group dave.

you also read 'The Creep' by Jeffrey Frank (i came across yr post abt it while searching for somethign else yesterday).

being 24 and still living with yr parents is not that bad surely.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Sometimes it feels it.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I was living with my parents for a while when I was 24.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

and 23 and 22.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I essentially rent two rooms off them and occasionally join them for meals, so it's not that bad.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

And they have just bought me a chair!

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I confess I confess!
I bought the Finding Nemo DVD

The colors are so pretty, and I love it when they are trying to speak whale.
I know, I am a freak.

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

For the past seven years, I've only read books that are about music. There's no joy in my life.

may pang (maypang), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't stop re-reading the dirty parts of Henry Miller books.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i cry at movies and music, but i dont cry when sad things in real-life happen

todd swiss (eliti), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I ate a whole cheesecake. All by myself.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I refuse to see Super Troopers cuz my ex told me she liked it. It's weird, since I totally listen to albums and see movies she likes too, but for some damn reason I get all tense and edgy when friends ask if I've seen Super Troopers or invite me to.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen...nor particular cared to see..."the Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't done any serious job searching in weeks. I've read the Lou Reed 'Transformer' bio four times through, and I don't even like his solo career.

Sean (Sean), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

If I make a frozen pizza and I'm home alone, I invariably eat the whole thing.

Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I EAT DUST AND I'M ALL RUN DOWN

Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm on my way, I'm making it
I've got to make it show, yeah
so much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing

the place where I come from is a small town
they think so small
they use small words
-but not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
to let those big words come right out

I've had enough, I'm getting out
to the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
there's so much stuff I will own
and I will pray to a big god
as I kneel in the big church

big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
big time big time
I've got to make it show yeah
big time big time
so much larger than life
big time
I'm going to watch it growing
big time

my parties all have big names
and I greet them with the widest smile
tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed
when I show them 'round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
with a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
and my heaven will be a big heaven
and I will walk through the front door

big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
big time big time
I've got to make it show-yeah
big time big time
so much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing
big time big time
my car is getting bigger
big time
my house is getting bigger
big time
my eyes are getting bigger
big time
and my mouth
big time
my belly is getting bigger
big time
and my bank account
big time
look at my circumstance
big time
and the bulge in my big big big big big big big

TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen...nor particular cared to see..."the Rocky Horror Picture Show"

you must be my long-lost brother!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i have been driving around in my unregistered unwarranted car for almost 2 years now, and just today got busted.

donna (donna), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so bored with books lately. It's frightening.

Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i am naked in the dark and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire.

gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I have no driver's license.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

If I make a frozen pizza and I'm home alone, I invariably eat the whole thing.

It's funny how doing this makes one feel like such a complete schlub.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, so my turn: I've not so much as kissed anyone since April 2001.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i cry at movies and music, but i dont cry when sad things in real-life happen

me, too.

lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't cry at anything.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I have also not seen any family member this xmas.

I have not spoken to or seen my grandparents since Easter.

I haven't mopped in two weeks.

I'm afraid of what lives at the back of my fridge.

I've never seen Titanic.

Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen any of the Godfather movies, nor LOTR.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I not only can't drive, I'm scared of driving, and I'm 32.

I am also scared of balloons (in case they pop, dig?)

I have been known to go more than several days without bathing on the odd occasion.

I have never seen Rocky Horror or the Blues Bros films properly, and I've never seen any of the Aliens trilogy at all.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Eating a whole pizza or a whole pan of lasagna is a normal thing for me.

I like Aja (but not in that weird creepy way people imply).

Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I just found a baby mouse in my kitchen sink.

Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

(and if no one else had been in I'd have left it there too)

Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I was wanking before and Andrew WK's "Ready to Die" started playing in my head and I thought "ANDREW WK IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF MUSIC!"

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't remember if I ever was any good at sex, it's been so long.

Sometimes I realize I've gone 5 or 6 days without washing my hair.

j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know if I'm any good at sex, but I like practicing.

I think I'm a pretty bad boyfriend. I don't know--I'm getting better but it never is quite enough.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

When I was in Italy in 1991 in the middle of a very hot summer I spent a month with only 3 pairs of pants, none of which got cleaned during that time.

Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i confess to thinking Peter Gabriel's 'Big Time' is a stupendously good record

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i find both Big Time and Sledgehammer painful to listen to

H (Heruy), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

i worry too much and cry WAY too much lately.

nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Too many of the above confessions apply to me too for me to be able to copy and post them all again. I am beyond help.

silver girl, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I still listen to the Fixx.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I like quitting smoking. Or maybe I do like quitting smoking, and that's why I always start up again, because I like the withdrawal. Am I sick or what?

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't swim.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

You're not alone, Eisbar.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the reason why i can't swim is b/c i almost drowned when i was 9.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Nothing so traumatic for me, thankfully. I just found that floating was beyond me.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe it's all those quarters in yr shorts.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I had no quarters at the time.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm crap at pool. I hate football, and I cannot figure out how to bet at horse-racing to save my very life.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I still listen to the Fixx as well as Jamie West-Oram is one of my favourite guitar players. I really like to sing even though I know I'm lousy at it. I don't like hockey as much as a good Canadian boy is supposed to. I hate the feeling of hand lotion on my hands.

Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i just bought the classix nouveaux best-of cd.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate the feeling of hand lotion on my hands.

Oh, speak `dat truth, Brother Bryan!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I once ran over someone's cat.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

and i like coldplay :-o

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I once kicked my old dog, who is now dead.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

So you kicked him to death, you sicko!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I really like Christopher Pike books. When I was 14 I stole Suede lyrics and turned them in at school as poems. I used to be in love with Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. I really like natural disaster movies.

Mandee, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I killed all my brother's fish when I was 4 because I took them out and put them in my piggy bank so they could "go on vacation". I was too dumb to get the fish + water = happy fish and fish + no water = dead fish thing.

I put them back and never confessed.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

there are two Barenaked Ladies songs that i like a lot. "Blame it On Me" and "Lovers in a Dangerous Time"

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a jealous heart.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

For a very brief and dark time in the early 90s, I was a coke addict.

boywasIdumb (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

For a very brief and dark time in the early 90s, I was a dimetapp DM addict. Seriously.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I borrow books from people and read them in the bathtub. I think Scott Peterson is cute.

Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I am acutely paranoid and terrified of abandonment which causes me to push people away constantly. Also I used to hate eggs but now I do not.

Allyzay, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm afraid of people who want to be good to me, and usually find a way to make them get pissed off and leave me before giving the relationship a chance to work.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i cant whistle :(

phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I may be allergic to certain antibiotics.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i think impure thoughts at all times.

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I am increasingly impatient of nervous/shy/depressed people.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm prone to road rage.

Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

my low self-esteem and complete lack of self-confidance cause me to constantly seek the approval of others. I cannot handle it when people are mad or upset with me, and i don't stop using favor to try to make things better, even if i go over the top.

Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I likewise cannot whistle.

I also 'throw like a girl', due to being left-handed but learning sporty things as a kid right-handed.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I am often let-down when I see I am not on the 'Laugh out loud' threads even when I thought I'd been dead funny.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

When I started playing baseball when I was 5 or 6, my parents bought me a left-handed glove (i.e. it went on my right hand) because they thought that a child so absolutely NOT WITH IT must be a leftie. No suck luck!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I am incredibly lazy.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I, too, throw like a girl.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I fear I am now trying to out-do people on this fuckign confession thread, as if being a twat/idiot/fuck-up/emotionally-cold asshole was some kidn of achievement.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

What would give you that idea?

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't wink. I'm really clumsy with chopsticks.

Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

im bad with chopsticks too, and i'm korean!

phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

due to how i talk, my speaking voice is higher than it should be, since I don't talk from my lower chest, as i do when i sing.

Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I am a terrible dresser.
Sometimes I look awesome, but lately, I've noticed around noon that I put absolutely no thought into what I throw over my skin & bones and have on several occasions worn the same colour pants as shirt (today for example) and thus look like a big dork.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a pathalogical hatred of those who write slash fiction.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I am also deathly afraid of having people not like me and tend to be very moody and irritable when people don't instantly take a shine to me. As I said on the shtick thread I am self-deprecating because I actually think I'm cool but want others to contradict my negative self-assessments.

Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

as i grow older im really starting to not like most of my best friends.

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so obsessive-compulsive that having a few dollars left over on a Best Buy giftcard is currently driving me insane. Also, I didn't read anyone else's posts on this thread because I don't really care.

dean gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I only wear one kind of aftershave: Old Spice.

David Merryweather (DavidM), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I only use one type of deodorant which is apparently no longer made and I don't like any of the other scents--I do not want to smell like an alpine forest, etc.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

as i grow older im really starting to not like most of my best friends.

Me too.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm hungry, sad, and bored.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't raise one eyebrow at a time and really wish I could.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I can only raise one eyebrow!

Allyzay, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

You only have one eyebrow!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Pluck.

X-post - damn you, huckster!

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm tired, really not feeling well, and I'd like it if someone would take me home and put me to bed and bring me tea.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

also, i can't handle most instances of confrontation, and do almost anything to avoid it, including being far too conciliatory.

Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

my two front teeth are fake, i lost them playing hockey.

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I no longer have a belly button ring - my dog caught one of his nails on it, and ripped the surrounding skin enough that I had to take it out.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

OK seriously I have the most obsessive eyebrow grooming habits of everyone in the entire world, this is no laughing matter for me, gentlemen. I know you think it's funny, but you're just sending me into another hysterical eyebrow fixin' fit right now.

Allyzay, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Ally from what I've seen your eyebrows are as magnificent as your breasts and legs. So chill.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I've always secretly wanted to be a woman.

latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I've always secretly wanted to be a man.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm wasting my fucking time here.
At work. Not ILX. Well...
Whatever. I want to go home.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

You can go. Tell 'em I said so.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still at work too. Everyone else is going. Like I just said to Ed, the same people who are ready to come bitch about how far behind I am right now on Monday and scream and yell about how they're being held up have already LEFT FOR THE DAY. Way to help out the team you cockfarming shitfaces. I was so set off yesterday because this dickwad David is making this BIG FUCKING DEAL about how he came upstairs and picked up his checks himself. WTF?? Oh sorry I didn't take a break from sending 186 wires yesterday (normal day is 10) to HAND DELIVER YOUR SHIT TO YOU YOU FUCKWAD.

ugh

hahaha I confess that this company is going to be so screwed though because I refuse to stay past the 9th and the girl who was replacing me is MIA.

Whenever an episode of The Sopranos starts I turn over and watch something else. I just can't be bothered to watch it even though, from the two episodes that I have watched, I know it's quality TV. I'm not really sure why this is. An unwillingness to concentrate for what seems like too long a time at too late at night? Something like that.

David Merryweather (DavidM), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I am actually scared by how insecure Nick Southall is.

Patrick Kinghorn, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks Luna.
I probably could just walk out.

On Monday, my boss said "you didn't work on Christmas did you? Boxing day?"

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I do what little I can.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm actually not very insecure at all, really, just bored and hating fucking New Year.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

It sucks. But hey! One year closer to blissful oblivion.

Patrick Kinghorn, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I already have a playstation.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but soon they're going to be able to hook that shit up to your cerebral cortex....

Patrick Kinghorn, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I already have booze.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I have no plans and no idea what to do tonight..

It's True, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen any of the Godfather movies, same as Luna said way upthread.
I like all sorts of music that would be widely disdained round these parts.
I am really good at being unnoticeable, which actually really annoys me lots of the time.
A couple of my wildest nights out at bars were when I was sober.

JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

My livelihood for the past 50 months has been a complete and shameful waste of American tax dollars and this situation is only going to get worse in the coming years unless a miracle happens.

I have been profoundly unable to derive happiness from almost anything since yesterday morning and I don't know why.

TOMBOT, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm realizing that putting aside insecurity and self-doubt could actually help me to achieve more than i was ever able to even dream of wanting. i'm realizing that it's not only okay to love myself but that doing so enables me to be a better person to the people i care about. i'm also realizing that it's okay to be selfish with myself and my time and to demand respect and care from those people that i do share my life with -- life is too short to waste it with the wrong people, feeling bad, internalizing all of the shit and stupidity that exists in the world around us. i accept that i prefer people who wash the dishes by filling the sink, instead of putting soap on every dish (when there's a shitload of dirty dishes, that is). I am seriously rethinking my disdain for television.

ishouldvesaidsorry, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Sometimes it feels like my two greatest talents are leaving people behind and needless lying, and I spend most of my time trying to avoid doing one of the two.

cis (cis), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm addicted to gambling and have probably spunked away around £3,000 in the last two and a half years. I haven't had any form of personal contact with a woman since August 2000. I deliberately avoided going out tonight because I can't be bothered. I regularly have violent sexual fantasies about women I used to go to school with. I like "American Pie" and "Vincent". I've committed a crime that would see me go down for 2 years as a first offence if anyone ever found out about it. My great-great-great grandparents were brother and sister.

And that's why I'm so fucked up.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a pathological hatred of ham and salmon. I have nothing but abject loathing for any individual that sees fit to recline their seat back into my lap on airplanes. I don't believe in travelling-with-food (i.e. don't bother packing me a sandwhich before a flight. I don't want it in my bag: it's bound to stink up my other belongings, possibly spill or mess up stuff). It's inefficient. If I'm hungry, I'll buy myself something on the fly.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

i derive happiness and self worth by verbally abusing others. I drive people away by getting bored and seeing how much verbal abuse they'll take either on the phone or internet until they stop speaking with me.

i am obsessive compulsive and cannot let things go unresolved.
my parents sadden me and i find it near impossible to do anything that might help me get ahead in life.
I am also vain and think far too highly of myself

heyyyyysd (kissmyfist), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't remember writing that...

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't get why people are so crazy about The Simpsons, Home Movies, or Family Guy.

I like BurmaKitty and AjaKitty.

j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I smoke more pot than is even remotely healthy.

I wish I were having casual sex with my ex for the next week, before I go back to New York.

I don't care about some fanzine you're going to write or about the bands you've been in.

I don't really like the taste of alcohol, and I usually get sad when I drink, but I really have no resistance against peer pressure.

I'm supposed to be DJing in a half hour and I'm really not in the mood. Oh well, Spencer, if you're still looking for something to do, I'll be at Akbar, on Sunset and Fountain/Hyperion from starting at 9. You, too, Vic, and anybody else from the LA crowd.They usually let in anybody who says they're there to see me.

Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 1 January 2004 04:24 (twenty-one years ago)

when i was in high school, my little brother saved up all his money for a long time to buy a Super Game Boy (which allowed you to play Game Boy games on teh Super Nintendo). Very soon after that, I sold all my Game Boy games. My little brother was crushed. He always wanted to fit in with me and he saved up for so long to buy the Super Game Boy, and by selling the game boy games I pretty much rejected him and wasted his money.

I know it sounds like a pretty minor event, but I've felt guilty about it ever since, and for some reason in the last six months i've been thinking aobut it mroe frequently and feel inexplicably horribly sad every time I do. I tried to make amends by selling it on ebay (it's been in my possession ever since) recently, but the $7.50 I got didn't really help any.

Shep, Thursday, 1 January 2004 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

(I gave my brother $10, I guess the $2.50 was some sort of guilt tax or something. He said thanks and didn't mention anything about the past incident ruining his life or anything, but my guilt has not diminished one iota)

Shep, Thursday, 1 January 2004 04:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i am commitment phobic and emotionally unavailable. also i am horribly passive aggressive. i once broke up with someone via friendster after dating him for 5 months. i hate it when guys get mushy and say romantic things. it instantly triggers the dump switch.

Emilymv (Emilymv), Thursday, 1 January 2004 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Which is why a good way out of a relationship is to get mushy, knowing there is a good chance they will dump you, making everything cleaner and easier all round

Ballboy, Friday, 2 January 2004 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen...nor particular cared to see..."the Rocky Horror Picture Show"

you must be my long-lost brother!

neither of you will ever be allowed into new zealand.

at two times in my life, i have written my own erotic slash fiction. in the high school phase, it starred members of jodeci. in the boring-boyfriend phase, it starred shayne lovecushions carter.

The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 2 January 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Two years ago, I killed two children and dumped their bodies in a quarry. You would've heard about their disappearance on the news, but they were unattractive street urchins, and therefore no one gives a shit.

The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 2 January 2004 01:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I have a stomach virus because I feel like I'm gonna hurl hard. But I can't. And I have a headache and my body is all shakey. And for reasons unknown to me, this makes me cry. So now I feel doubly pathetic -- I'm severely nauseous AND I'm weepy about it. When the hell did I get so soft?

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 2 January 2004 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a staggering fear of rejection that makes me a bit of a cranky asshole at times.

i secretly (not so secret now hey) think that i am a brilliant songwriter (despite some, any or all evidence to the contrary)

i have some extremely leftfield sexual kinks that if you care you can search easily for on this very site

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 2 January 2004 01:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i read mills and boon/harlequin/generic trashy romance novels by the bagful. (and thanks for reminding me about christopher pike, mandee, i used to love him!)

i eat english doritos even though they say they aren't for vegetarians.

i'm completely nocturnal right now, and my boyfriend is asleep next to me while i'm trying to make myself tired around here...

colette (a2lette), Friday, 2 January 2004 04:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I completely relate to Kingfishee's insecurity-based confessions.

If I could, I would only consume cookies and milk for a meal. Especially Mrs. Field's freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and the oatmeal raisin cookies I make, and Oak Farms Dairy milk.

I'm unusally good at keeping secrets. In general. Both those told to me and those I choose to hold within me. Unless the "secret" is so obviously not a "secret" anymore.

I get envious of people easily, but there are only a handful of individuals here whom I'm truly envious of. (Only those people whom I've already chosen to reveal anything further to will ever know anything more about that.)

Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 2 January 2004 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

todd swiss (eliti), Friday, 2 January 2004 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)

don't be tellin my secrets dee;-)

Oh, of course not! Totally Fort Knox up here. *points to brain*

Another confession: I can get massively paranoid. The reason why I'm not asleep at the moment is because I kept on thinking that while I had my eyes closed, someone had broken into my house and wished to do my mother and me harm (and in fact was inflicting harm on my mother at the time). I secretly prayed but it did no good, so I figured I'd best keep awake. These are the nightmares I've faced ever since I can clearly remember (i.e. when I was around four years old).

Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 2 January 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

dee i had that same problem for years, but it stopped abruptly as soon as i no longer lived with an unhealthy person who was intent on harming me. you see i wasn't paranoid--i think my mind was trying to tell me there was danger in the house-and there was--just not from where i was expecting it. this could mean yr living situation is too stressful and you can't see it. or at least that is what it meant in my case.

Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 2 January 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 2 January 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i only OWN one pair of jeans.

sometimes i pee in an empty cup if i am too lazy to make it to the bathroom.

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 2 January 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I do THAT too but I can pour it out outside, I live on a semifarm, and also the toilet's upstairs and I'm halfway through a record etc

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 2 January 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel loads better having that "peeing in empty cup" thing off my chest.

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 2 January 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you not terrified that you'd overfill the cup and end up with piss ont he floor? I would be. The bathroom's only four eight feet from the bedroom (and three from the living room) so this is not a concern.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 2 January 2004 14:14 (twenty-one years ago)

well you have to exhibit control over the pressure and release.

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 2 January 2004 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

alternately get a big gulp cup.

Zero's cool.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 3 January 2004 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I am much more scared about being in a new city than I thought I would be.

I tend to try harder when people seem to be against me. Surely, they must not know the real me, or they would like me, right?

On the other hand, I can be blatantly rude to people I'm not interested in befriending simply because I hate making small talk. If we're not on the same wave-length, then what's the point?

I tend to be pretty selfish in general, but am always calling other people out on it. If someone points out my own selfishness, I tend to wrap myself even deeper in my own egocentrism.

I am extremely sensitive.

In the end, I'm a big peace-loving hippy.

I like to talk about my bands because it is a big part of who I am.

I really should be in bed now.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Saturday, 3 January 2004 06:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I've had a codiene addiction for something like 10 years now. I cant even begin to imagine getting off it. Also, when anyone expresses concern and tries to suggest I do something about it, I get irrationally angry and have to change the subject. I'm really not proud of any of this.

Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 3 January 2004 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm noticing weird side effects from the drugs i've been doing (recreationally) for almost a decade now.
i've not exactly slowed down lately either.
also, i should be in bed.
but i have to do the dishes.
which i never do.

dyson (dyson), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:00 (twenty-one years ago)

re: codeine

that's an odd addiction! in pill form, or T3s or ??? Since it is an opiate, there are medical detoxes for it. they can sedate you until it is out of your system. 10 years is a long time, but you can do it. plus, opiates are nasty for men, they kill sexual urges. you'll want to fuck like a bunny once you're off it! good luck :-)

Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, I'm female BTW :)

Its in pill form, in Aus you can buy a paracetamol/codiene tablet from chemists quite easily (no prescription). Interesting about the sex drive thing, never heard that one before... hmmm...

Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds basically like T3s in the us. oh, yeah, opiate addiction makes guys completely useless. if you want to get laid 24/7 date a speed freak, lol

I have nothing but abject loathing for any individual that sees fit to recline their seat back into my lap on airplanes.

Who doesn't feel this way? This isn't a confession, but just plain common hatred.

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 5 January 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

but he has the good sense to feel guilty for harboring abject loathing towards perfectly innocent people, therefore it *is* a confession.

I know an awful lot of people, my wife included, who don't feel that way.

They're not perfectly innocent, they're careless, selfish and woefully inconsiderate.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 5 January 2004 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

What the fuck is wrong with reclining yr airplane seat? So you people are telling me that you keep yours upright for an entire cross-country flight? What kind of unfathomable masochism is that?

Broheems (diamond), Monday, 5 January 2004 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, then he feels guilt about harboring abject loathing for careless, selfish, and woefully inconsiderate airline-loungers. It's still therefore a confession.

Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

At the very LEAST, they could turn around first and say: "If you don't mind, I'd like to put my seat back a bit. Please let me know at which point it becomes inconvenient and/or uncomfortable for you, as I know that it can be a space-cramping, circulation-bothering nuisance!" That's what I do, and I damn well stand by it being the RIGHT and CONSIDERATE thing to do....regardless of the length of the flight.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 5 January 2004 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

what i hate most is when motherfuckers put the seat back, hit my fucking knees, and then, instead of pulling the seat back up or at least STOPPING, they just KEEP TRYING TO PUSH MY KNEES INTO MY FUCKING CHEST. the REAL prize, however, is when they turn around all indignant with that "why are you kicking my seat" face on.

I'm so obs/compulsive that every single one of my folders and mp3s is in lowercase.

I have a hardwired religious paranoia that makes me surreptitiously look up and say 'sorry!' quickly in a little squeaky voice when I take God's name in vain, and notice how I always capitalize God (I also always capitalize "Mother" and "I").

Many of my friends are ironically racist, often towards people in the same room, leading to complete etiquettal entropy where nobody knows why or how everybody is calling each other a crazy _______ and being totally okay with it.

I feel the best form of revenge is strategically stealing your enemy's friends, because it really is.

I got so annoyed about this bloke leaning back into me, despite him being a scary drunken oaf, that I literally yelled obscenities at him when he tried it. Amazingly, he turned round, looked concerned, apologised and moved his seat back to upright. Which is lucky, as it's a long way to Denver.

Jess, do you arrive at the check-in 5 hours early to get the emergency exit seats? I try to and I'm only 6'.

Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I always ask for bulk-head seating (seats at the front of the compartment), but they generally say that those seats are reserved for disabled folk....usually prompting me to make some woefully predictable comment ala "Someone's gonna get disabled alright if I hafta...." etc. etc.

Its in pill form, in Aus you can buy a paracetamol/codiene tablet from chemists quite easily (no prescription).

but isn't the paracetamol quite bad for you? Or, as I heard recently, can you cut Sudafed pills in half and one side is Codeine, the other paracetamol?

OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

sudafed is pseudoephedrine. tho' if you're talking about Panadeine, as far as i'm aware it's not designed that way. can't speak for other pills though.

paracetamol is v bad for your liver in large doses (large = any more than 12 or so tablets in a 24-hour period really)

the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:28 (twenty-one years ago)

OK I'm only 5'8 and I can't sit in seats when people recline back in airplanes. I mean, I don't know who actually does sit in those seats. I never recline at all, maybe I'll push it back an inch if I'm getting really sore from sitting but that's it, and only after double checking the person behind me. What is wrong with people that they seem to think there is this limitless space behind them? I mean they're sitting in the exact same seats so they can see that this is not the case, just by looking at the seat in front of them. WTF?

gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a cat when I was little and would sometimes grab him and hug him too hard to make him meow.

There is snow outside, yet my window is wide open.

A lot of the time I keep track of what day it is by what's on prime time TV (grr goddamn fucking Mondays). During the holidays it gets confusing.

I was thinking about New Year's resolutions and realized that I really need more vices. Maybe I'll work on that.

oh yeah, you're right. I mean...oh, I can't even remember! The painkillers that have a sugary coating...er...

Apparently codeine and paracetamol (or whatever the painkiller ingredient is in this case) are impossible to blend, so it's two different halves stuck together.

OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Colin, one time I happened to be snuggling a little kitty inside the zipper of my sweatshirt while we were all getting high and I kept blowing my hits down in there at it. Afterwards the poor thing made a very un-catlike comic pratfall while trying to jump up on the couch. It was adorable.

I refuse to grow up.

I'm, essentially, a recluse (I don't like labels). I refuse to leave the house for months on end. When I do have to leave, I feel disgusted the moment I'm back home and need a shower right away.

Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Saturday, 25 March 2006 09:18 (nineteen years ago)

I am genuinely terrible at all sports, and will not even play a friendly game of volleyball, for fear of pissing people off.

If I'm dancing in a club, I am compelled to sing along with songs I know all the words to. And I know the words to a lot of songs.

I am outwardly quite friendly, and usually make good friends wherever I go. But I have a misanthropic streak a mile wide, and I worry about becoming a lonely, crotchety, reclusive old man. People disappoint me with their greed and their stupidity.

I get seasonal depression in the winter time, and it's been bad enough for me to think about doing myself in.

I am so ambivalent about both of my parents that I could happily never speak to either one of them again.

I think I'm addicted to the internet.

#fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Friday, 30 August 2013 19:42 (twelve years ago)

five months pass...

Last night I had a rare night out to hang out with some friends in a bar -- it's actually a book club that meets in a bar. My wife and daughter go to sleep early, and although I figured I'd be home by 10pm or so, I decided to stay a little later and have an extra round with a few of the people who stayed. I was a little drunk by the time I walked to the subway. I was also hungry but there was nothing to eat between the bar and the train, and also my phone died on the train, which was my only source of reading material, and it was a long ride home. So I decided to get off the Subway at Broadway-Lafayette, not really remembering what was around there. Well, nothing is around there in terms of purchasing food or reading material late on a Wednesday night, so I just walked for a while, in the freezing cold, until I came to an area with more stuff. I bought a Harpers magazine for the first time in a long time and picked up the Brooklyn Rail. Then I went to one of those shitty Ray's-type pizza places and sat and ate a slice and read, and then went to the nearest subway and made my way home. I got home around 2am, which is pretty late for me these days. It's a very banal story, really, but it felt very strange the way I had the impulse to do this thing and yet the product of my impulse was extremely boring.

I stopped going to synagogue the week after I got my Bar Mitzvah. The rabbi stopped me in the street one day, got out of his car, and threatened to take it back off me! Can you revoke a Bar Mitzvah??

to belatedly answer the original poster's question, no one, including your rabbi, can revoke your bar mitzvah. nor can he award you a bar mitzvah. all he can do is lead the service at which your bar mitzvah is publicly acknowledged, which, technically speaking, is all that happens on that day. so if you've been avoiding him, you can stop.
