my profile is perfect apparently.

i doubt this.

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

also i have an intimidating gaze.

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Well come on - pics so we can be the judge! ;D

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:30 (twenty-one years ago)

AHH: i just noticed I AM gaz at the top of ther page...is that new?

(also trayce neither is true: no photos required :-P )

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

AHH: i just noticed I AM gaz at the top of ther page...is that new?

Yeah, I've got something similar. Must be some sorta fun new tweak, but what?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM Orbit

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i have been told i'm intimidating.
i think i'm pretty fluffy so i never understood it.
maybe i need to flash my tits more, to throw 'em off

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

This isn't a problem, but a feature request: would it be possible for when you go to the main ILX page, it say something like "Hello, (username)!" so that you know what name you're logged in on? This would be particularly helpful for 2 ILXor households like ours, where I have to log out of Sarah's name before I login as me. Currently I can't find out who's logged in until I open a thread and scroll to the bottom.
SHOUT FOR THE MODERATOR VI

First person to register the name "Canadian" gets 10 points.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:57 (twenty-one years ago)

This is handy, as the other Neds in my apartment now know which Ned is logged in at any given time.

*rethinks this statement*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

it's kind of comforting to see that, all caps at the top, just in case i forget who i am
;-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 05:59 (twenty-one years ago)

and yeah I need to fix it so it doesn't look so stupid but its Friday night and Im tired.
Up next, Kate's red number crusher button thingy.
Thats if I don't get distracted by something else thats breaking like the edituserinfo page or the general asshatry.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to make it like Dr Zeus.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Mr Noodles, you rock. Thanks for the added customization feature thingy!

And keeping in mind the original topic at hand:

One of my high school classmates signed my junior-year yearbook by describing me as "verbose".

Bitch.

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I am Orbit am I

it went existential!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

identity crisis!

Never big on Green Eggs and Ham?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It comes across all yoda-like, now.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Who am I? I'm 24601/*Orbit*/! am I

AAAAAHHHH!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:12 (twenty-one years ago)

It comes across all yoda-like, now.

Makes me smile very broadly now, this thread does.

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, vocal warmup exercise.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i am not a number! i am a (wo)man!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:14 (twenty-one years ago)

And I am Javert,
Do not forget my name

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:15 (twenty-one years ago)

distracted by "something else" heh heh

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, I really need a picture of Ron Stoppable.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Get OUT! Nancy Cartwright is the voice of Rufus.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:37 (twenty-one years ago)

orbit, cleavage can be pretty intimidating i find.

(its always hearing "o that guy just talks to my tits" and then thinking "i don't do that, do i?" and then encountering cleavage and...and...and...)

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:45 (twenty-one years ago)

haha!
i shall continue to keep the twins under wraps.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I have an interesting laugh. (If you've heard Dylan cracking up at the beginning of "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream", you have a good approximation.)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahah this new I AM thing results in threads that look like this:

I AM trayce

Damn straight. One down safely, another to go.

Oh. Dear.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 4 January 2004 06:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I act totally gay.

― Aaron A., Sunday, 4 January 2004 07:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Trayce i see what you mean:

I AM Orbit

my profile is perfect apparently.

i doubt this.

oh wait, i see. umm...

― Slump Man (Slump Man), Sunday, 4 January 2004 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i am bitter and neurotic.

I think it may have been a joke.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

or was it?

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

who gives a shit either way.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

the trees do

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm right-wing. This idea had never occurred to me until someone told me last night. I don't think it's true, but it's a lot more true than I realised.
Also, that I say 'like' all the time. This is very irritating.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone at the last FAP pointed out that I'm good at pissing people off. Which I hadn't really thought about.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently I am "flighty."

Oh, and i've got one friend who just introduces me as his Weird Friend.

What the fuck does that mean, weird? Because I have no idea what it is that makes me weird. I watch Buffy, I like music, I read books, I post silly things on ILx. what the fuck? how does this make me different than say the six million other users here? Besides the liking Buffy part.

― Catty (Catty), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

apparently, i'm an unusually considerate ex-girlfriend. (which was nice to hear)

and i'm scary. but i've been told that enough at this point that i guess i just kinda know it. even though i don't understand it.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Does cleavage serve some other purpose aside from attracting attention I'm unaware of? I mean you have to buy a special bra and everything, so maybe it does

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean obv just staring at it in "conversation" is atrociously rude, but y'know it's not very surprising, I suppose. I don't do it but I DO read shirts a lot

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Shirts about breasts?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't know that I sing under my breath. At work. Constantly. Apparently.

(Hi and happy new year by the way. No posts for nearly three weeks, what have I been DOING?!)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The tip of my nose wiggles up and down when I talk.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a sweet ass!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i "radiate heat like a great sun."

― joday (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

the hair on the back of my neck spells out "OMFG"

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

my spunk tastes like blackberry jam

i was not aware of this?

― omg, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

My accent changes significantly and immediately depending on who I am speaking with, which I was unaware of previously.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Archel!
Um, I've been called scary. I have also been told that I look like a bouncer. I do not beleive either of these things.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

My blood type is A+.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a moviestar nose. Whoopee doo.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been told I'm scary as well by guys who could EASILY kick my ass. I've been told that I smell good even without having to use cologne. I should do like Sammy Kershaw and sell my sweat as a perfume. YUMMY.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I have some sort of problem with authority.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I have two extra teeth.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have balls the size of coconuts.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I am "like a cartoon character".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I sound like fucking Rowley Birkin QC, can't you shape up, man for god's sake?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I sabotage my chances at happiness.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently I walk with a swagger. (Undeserved, most likely.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

My boyfriend is really weird. Oh wait, I knew that without having to be told.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm really annoying.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a lot of self-confidence in the sack.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

People actually said these things to you guys? To your face? Odd.

I apparently also have a very distinctive walk but I don't see how it differs from anyone else's. I mean, people spot me from a while away and I'm like, how did you know it was me? And the answer is like 90% of the time, from the way you were walking. WTF?

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Everybody has a distinctive gait, I've actually had occasions where I didn't recognize somebody until they started moving and then I knew exactly who they were.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Ally, that's not about yourself...

Mine is: when VERY tired, my left eye goes a bit lazy. Kapow goes any hopes of broadcasting career (although it hasn't harmed Natasha Walter's prospects).

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I have inherited my father's gait, even tho i have a longer stride.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Suzy's reply wins. Anyway I disagree about this gait thing, I've never noticed people having some kind of distinctive walk. Except this one dude I knew but that was because he purposely tried to strut like John Travolta everywhere, so it was kind of obvious

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE WRONG OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE'S WALK IS GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BEING AS WE ARE NOT IN THE CLONE AGE YET.* I AM SAYING I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE TO BE SO EXTRAORDINARY AS TO BE COMMENTED UPON. OK?

* I think. I wish we had, I would send my clone to work.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Back on topic, I also never knew I was a Type A personality until I was sitting in class at 22 and I said 'I took this test last night and it said I had a Type A personality, WTF is up with that' and everybody in the room was like "DUHHH HELLO"

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

What's a 'Type A Personality'?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"there's something different about you. did you lose more hair?"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I'm 47% Type A. Three years ago I would probably have been all the way. Three years from now, I'll probably be Hansel.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Why do people continue to employ Natasha Walter? Her feminism book was one of the worst things i've ever read, i don't think i managed more than about 10 pages.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Because she can *** a ************ through a *******, maaan.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

You seem to be far from having a Type A personality. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind. You know how and when to relax. The hostile, aggressive and competitive part of you surfaces rarely. You are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. It's a very healthy attitude towards life. Just make sure you don't miss important opportunities because of being too cool and relaxed. Picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life.

You thrive on rubbish cliches and mixed metaphors.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh i got the same thing as nick (44% B)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)

79% A, but I didn't really need a test to tell me that.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Eeek I am scared of all you go-getters now. I was 29%.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Link didn't work for me, but I don't believe in all that shit anyway. What's type A and what's type B? Does me being sceptical without any grounds whatsoever to be so make one of these types anyway?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

*steals archel's job* mwahahahahhahaa

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe this link will work for you, Enrique.

that's just creepy

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

mark s told me at a fap that I was the biggest idealist on the board. I told him I didn't know what it meant since I did not attend a humanities type department at university so he shouldn't take advantage.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

My girlfriend told me the other day that I speak really slowly to people I don't know, especially if I'm trying to be polite (like in a job interview or meeting inlaws etc) and this has the opposite effect of making me sound either stupid or condescending or a bit of both.

No wonder I can't get a decent job!

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I was told that about how I speak differently with people with strong accents. With a different cadence or something.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 5 January 2004 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 5 January 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

So just a moment ago someone told me that I "tend to ruin every good thing I'm part of by embracing it too much". I don't find this inaccurate.

I'm afraid of people loving me, so I push them away because secretly I'm happier being miserable.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 5 January 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I make people's decisions for them because I (think I) know best. I did know this, but wasn't aware to what extent I did it until I was made to realise. I felt dumb.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently, I have never, ever, at any time informed my supervisor that I was overwhelmed at work and needed additional assistance at any point over the past four years.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

theres loads of stuff i've apparently never informed people of too ally. i always send an email and archive it and responses now.

i am a hunter gatherer type. i do a minimum amount of work and then like to sit around the camp fire getting drunk and singing songs. its lucky i have avoided heroin cos with my personality i'd be dead quick as.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still not sure what Type A means even after it's been explained to me, so I like imagining it as this descriptive term that everyone applies to themselves at various points as needed. It's somehow protean.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

- how are ya Ned? -

- type A today gaz, type A! -

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

See, I could imagine saying that! But I could imagine anyone saying that and me going, "Oh, that's nice." It's like that whole Meyers-Brigg thing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Type A = hippies and badly fitting pants drive you insane

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought hippies and badly fitting pants drove everyone insane?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Hating hippies is not a sign of Type A personality so much as a sign of having a sense of smell.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Once a horrible sleazy guy at an IRC meet told me I puffed my cheeks out whenever I drank liquid. ie take a sip of whatever, fill cheeks up with it, then swallow. I guess I subconciously knew I did this but no one ever pointed at me and said "you fucking freak" about it.

I was also informed by my first bf that I "walk like a duck". I've been paranoid about my gait ever since. Thats a bunch, Tony.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Trayce, I think ducks have a very nice walk.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Hippies are often wearing badly fitting pants.

No one ever tells me things about me. Except "you have food on your upper lip" and so on.

― isadora (isadora), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't especially notice you had a strange walk trayce. nor this puffer fish thing either :)

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I also run like a duck - always have, always will.

I am tall, so they say. I should have played basketball.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, also I saw this pic of me from this summer over Christmas. I grabbed it up in horror. I'm all slouched over in it and look like crap. I asked my youngest sister (she's 21), "I don't really look like this do I???" making sure she was aware of the answer I wnted. Instead, she replied, "Oh, yes, that looks exactly like you. You really should try to sit up straighter."

Ok, thanks, now I know I look like crap all the time, beeooowtch. ha ha

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG I just scored 100% on the type A quiz. I guess this explains why I'm still at fucking work at 10pm AT A JOB I QUIT TWO WEEKS AGO.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I smoke like an old woman.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

strange grabbing movements with my hand when im tring to formulate a thought (in speech) as if im physically trying to grasp it.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 05:05 (twenty-one years ago)

puffer fish thing, hahaha!

Apparently my gait (ie being knock-kneed and pigeon-toed) is a good way to get a Marilyn sexy-bum swagger (for, 'twas she who had knock knees also thus her cute wobble-butt walk), No wonder guys say I have a nice arse.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

she shaved 2 inches off one of her hi heel shoes to amplify that walk btw

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm really cool.

This told to me by an old friend who I confessed my crush on to today and was told along with "maybe three years ago things would have been different" and anyway I'm still thinking of her smile, her gait, all tha little things that make me want to eat her right up. Also, I want to call her "captain, my captain" fwiw. (not in a kinky way either)

I stick my tongue out when I am putting a mouthful of food in there. I have tried to curb this one.
Also, apparently I have green eyes even though they have been blue for the last 27 years!

I apparently have good skin. I think people who say this are crazy, but a few people have said this so .... (My mom: "When did your complexion get so good? Oh, I guess you got old")

someone just called and told me that when my hair is dark, i look like the girl in shakespeare's sister that isn't in bananarama.

i'm researching this to see if this is a compliment or insult.

I'm an asshole apparently, and arrogant/snobbish as well.

I have beautiful eyelashes that several ex-girlfriends have been bitterly jealous of.

When I used to smoke, I smoked like a girl and held my cigarettes too high.

Colette, it's a compliment. Though however well-meant, you do not look like Siobhan Fahey. You look better than that, she is a bit ropey and Pam Hogg-looking now.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Suzy, I think they meant Marcella Detroit, i.e. the one who isn't in Bananarama. I don't think that's an insult either.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i think he meant the detroit one as well. but all the pictures online are fuzzy or her hair is covering her face.

and since i'd never heard of her (or the band) i guess that ruins my potential career as a celeb impersonator!

and as long as we're allowed to disagree with people, mr. crack you're more of an elitist, surely?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

actually, there may be a market for vaguely familiar, but unplaceable celebrity lookalikes. because that would only heighten the versimilitude!

That does tend to sum it up, doesn't it? Though I like to think that my elitist tendencies have dimmed to a certain extent.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

well, huck, if you ever find details of that market, let me know. people are always saying, 'you look like that one girl. you know, from that show/band/movie'. usually they mean someone that had a bit part on 'saved by the bell' or something.

but if i could make money off of their confusion, that would rock!

i walk like a penguin.

attention: all pigeon-toed knock-kneed women report to Matos immediately. thank you.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

and he claims he doesn't know he's flirting!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

that's not flirting, it's being an obnoxious twat

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

it's a fine line between the two

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I supposedly look like a Renoir. Which painting was not specified.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently I mix up "bought" and "brought" all the time.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

it's a line I spend most of my life crossing to the wrong side of

That I walk fast.

That I have 25 years of experience dealing with difficult women. Thanks, Mom (note: she is the one who told me this).
