Well? How did we? Was it because I left the cake out in the rain?

Mmm... Cake...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

I still have most of a birthday cake (that I bought myself, ha ha what a loser) at my house if y'all wanna come over...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

What flavor?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

What's the point of these threads, anyway?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

PSYCHE!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

Apricot/passionfruit. It could use more passionfruit and less apricot, but it's pretty good.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

I've never posted on one of these threads before. What's it all about?

I'm really happy that image didn't post.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

Today I feel like being wildly flirtatious, bordering on lascivious, with someone I don't know that well.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

(I have no idea who that person is, fwiw)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

If I'm very productive I can pretty much finish unpacking today!

So that isn't going to happen.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

You're cute when you're lascivious, Luna. Congrats, BTW, on releasing oily bohunk. Good luck on replacement.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Would ye like a sub without bread?

It would need to be carried in some sort of container.

The clock is ticking.

Wacy has entered the room.
Pato: Wacy, what comes to mind when you hear the word "Freedom"?
Pato: Is it apple pie? Is it baseball? Is it Coca-Cola?
Wacy: Yes
Pato: Wacy, you are wrong.
Pato: Freedom is...BOB HOLLY.
Pato: Bob Holly is Freedom. Bob Holly is America.
Pato: Bob Holly is apple pie, baseball and Coca-Cola. Bob Holly is the Atlantic coast and the Pacific blue. Bob Holly is the land inbetween, of the midwest, of the far west.
Pato: Bob Holly is more America than Mt. Rushmore times a thousand. Bob Holly is brave Americans punching through the sky to send humanity beyond the bonds of Earth and into space.
Pato: When you go to bed tonight, Wacy, I want you to thank God above for Bob Holly.
Wacy: You mean, thank Bob above?
Pato: Yes. Bob is not only America, he is everything.
Wacy: Wrong.
Pato: I beg your pardon?
Wacy: Bob Holly simply is
Pato: Yes. You've said it better than anyone else could. Bob Holly simply IS.

Hi luna, I don't think I went to your thread, so I'll wish you a happy belated birthday now. I usually don't post to these threads, but I kind of liked the title of this one so I figured I'd give it one more crack.

Oh, this old thing? I wondered if it wasn't a bit sheer for the office, but then decided what the hell?

well...not on everyone, actually. but on you... RADIANT!

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

this is the song of mehitabel
of mehitabel the alley cat
as i wrote you before boss
mehitabel is a believer
in the pythagorean
theory of the transmigration
of the soul and she claims
that formerly her spirit
was incarnated in the body
of cleopatra
that was a long time ago
and one must not be
surprised if mehitabel
has forgotten some of her
more regal manners

i have had my ups and downs
but wotthehell wotthehell
yesterday sceptres and crowns
fried oysters and velvet gowns
and today i herd with bums
but wotthehell wotthehell
i wake the world from sleep
as i caper and sing and leap
when i sing my wild free tune
wotthehell wotthehell
under the blear eyed moon
i am pelted with cast off shoon
but wotthehell wotthehell

do you think that i would change
my present freedom to range
for a castle or moated grange
wotthehell wotthehell
cage me and i d go frantic
my life is so romantic
capricious and corybantic
and i m toujours gai toujours gai

i know that i am bound
for a journey down the sound
in the midst of a refuse mound
but wotthehell wotthehell
oh i should worry and fret
death and i will coquette
there s a dance in the old dame yet
toujours gai toujours gai

i once was an innocent kit
wotthehell wotthehell
with a ribbon my neck to fit
and bells tied onto it
o wotthehell wotthehell
but a maltese cat came by
with a come hither look in his eye
and a song that soared to the sky
and wotthehell wotthehell
and i followed adown the street
the pad of his rhythmical feet
o permit me again to repeat
wotthehell wotthehell

my youth i shall never forget
but there s nothing i really regret
wotthehell wotthehell
there s a dance in the old dame yet
toujours gai toujours gai

the things that i had not ought to
i do because i ve gotto
wotthehell wotthehell
and i end with my favorite motto
toujours gai toujours gai

boss sometimes i think
that our friend mehitabel
is a trifle too gay

Michael, there is a version of that that's illustrated by George Herriman. I have never seen it (I've seen some samples) and would love to.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 11 July 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Look at you baby look at me
So in love we used to be
But now it's just a memory
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way

Well I recall when things were fine
And every day the sun would shine
When I was yours and you were mine
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way

Remember how it used to was
Before the rovin eye of love
Why does it do the way it does
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way

Time and time and time again
I wonder why it all began
Tell me how's it gonna end
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la

Baby, how'd we ever get
Baby, how'd we ever get
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la

I have to tell my husband I recognized this name. There was a time - oh say three weeks ago - I wouldn't have known the different between Herriman and Gaiman. Yeah, I know, everyone here probably already knows a lot about comics, but this is pretty new to me. :-)

More an old, unpeeled, unwashed potato just sitting there looking unappetising, really. Sorry, I am told I overdo this self-depreciating thing a lot. I always think I'm showing off far too much and don't run myself down as much as is warranted, but maybe I could just stop doing both...

Just got back from lunch and a shower (I'm a messy eater). Martin, I'll take a look at the book and if the binding will hold up to it, I'll scan some of the illos and post them somewhere.

But for now I'm going to the P.O., for I have sold a CD to a lucky contestant in Ohio.

HI LUNA.

ok so yesterday i wanted to get out of the house while roomie was moving out, so i bought a sunday times and went to the closest park to sit on a hill in the shade and read and people-watch. just down the hill from me there was this FANTASTIC girl. i'm talking SMOKING. she was sunbathing. she was wearing a small, yellowish bikini. tall-ish, long black hair in a single braid, pale, with a large-ish tattoo right above her ass. and my, what an ass. w00t! i wish i could've done something other than just, like, stare for a while (which is pretty much what i did). funny, since after my dating frenzy of a couple months ago, i'm not really interested right now.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

William, I have seen some in repro, so don't go pushing your luck with the book for me. I'll get hold of a copy one of these days.

ha, I wander in and out of this thread while trying to write about Japanese Zen calligraphy of the last 400 years...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

does it not already do so? I'll check...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

There's a whole big section on the subject, from http://www.japanese-arts.net/painting/printmaking.htm down, but this page in particular discusses the term's use: http://www.japanese-arts.net/painting/print_ukiyoe.htm.

Sorry dahlin, I am not good at it, online at least. That isn't to say that I am good in person, just not as useless.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

I'm not wearing pants, either, dahlin...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

wow. that's quite a coincidence

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

i just got drunk with ned. unrelated

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

I did not get drunk with Ned or anyone. Alas.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

I'm still not wearing pants, though!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

I, alas, am at work. Sober and betrousered. 'Course, it is starting to empty out around herre...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

are you not at work luna?
go on then roger... nip off to the loo for a wee bit and do a lil trouserless dance

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

I've got one of those desks you can't see under. And it faces my office door. So I'm thinking it would be funnier if...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

Though that would curtail the dancing.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

oooooh do it! do it!
i read a brilliant story tonight about a young teacher who got into trouble that way... lemmie see if i can find it

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

"Yes, Kenny, that young teacher was me."

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh well see, now you're on to me - I'm not wearing pants! but I am wearing a skirt.

Damn.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:19 (twenty years ago)

and oh, how we roffled...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

I'm off. In 45 minutes I will not be wearing teh pants.

Now I'm not wearing a skirt, either..

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:36 (twenty years ago)

oh and as a result of my encounter in the park, all day yesterday i was thinking to myself, "self, i really would like it if some random woman came up to me and rubbed her titties all in my face." just thought you all should know.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

shorts?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

yeah, khaki shorts. they're kind of old, and ripped, and have some inkstains, but they're still pretty comfortable for summertime wear.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:39 (twenty years ago)

oh, you're asking luna. heh.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

yes i was but your description just made me tingle.

kinky.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:45 (twenty years ago)

i am watching baseball in hopes of distracting myself from the fact that luna is sans skirt/pants.

oh i really was just sitting around in my underwears. ah well
it's nearly 4am! i should be in bed, surely

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

you bet. i was too hot and sticky when i came home to keep my clothes on
now my toes are cold tho

Nope, no shorts either. In fact, as of this moment, I'm just out of the shower and am dewy and nekkid.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

hot! altho probably not, you're more likely cooled off, i'm sure.

Too late. I can't very well blame hstencil.

ok but that means i get one free "blame luna" card with no expiration date.

Sorry, no.

luna can blame me all she wants! i mean, if blame is a euphemism.

You know what's good about staying up really late? You can watch the Tour de France live. I would say "Go Lance" but that seems so obvious at this point.

Hello all, sorry to interrupt the hottness with prosaicness. I've lost the ability to flirt, I fear. I have an interview with a temp agency today at 2. Wish me luck. I feel unprepared! and nervous. I have been trying to do tutorials on MS office shit and feel like I'm retaining no knowledge.

― sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 08:54 (twenty years ago)

I have no words, just tears at the moment.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Aw good luck sweetie! OW I just bit my tongue OW. I'm sorry I didn't wish you luck before I left this morning!

(and I wouldn't say you've lost the ability to flirt ;))

xpost obv :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Oh shit shit, I guess that's the thing everyone's been thinking of (the article Pink posted), just that no one has dared to say it. I think I need to get away from here.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

good luck sarah! i'm sure you'll do amazingly well! i suspect, if anything, you are OVERqualified!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

:( I just read that on the other thread. I feel like I can't allow myself to really feel or express anything just yet, otherwise I'll cease to be able to do the things I have to do today. I hate having to attend this interview and worry over my dwindling finances at a time like this--the shock just seems to keep reverberating and amplifying and it's hard sometimes to keep going with the things I have to do. This sounds so callous...I feel like I'm pretending.

xpost thanks dahlin. It's a specialized agency so I'm hoping that my interest makes up for my lack of software skills.

― sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:05 (twenty years ago)

i went to a temp agency and had to take all those tests, including one for excel, which i had casually mentioned i knew, when in reality i hadused it twice, for a science project, about 10 years ago. i was convinced i was about to be exposed as an ignorant fraud, but ended up scoring something insane like 90%! the thing is, you can use the menus and stuff, so if you have any computer common sense, you'll be fine. i actually learned a lot about word by taking the test. like how to merge documents and address labels....
that was way too detailed a reply. sorry. good luck at any rate :)

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

You'll storm it Sarah.
Dahlin, your pics on the "what do you look like thread" were great. You look like my friend Bec, although it's pointless to say that when you don't know her!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:46 (twenty years ago)

aww thanks pink... it's all part of an elaborate evil plan to gain your trust and then... er... do something bad with it!
one of my aunts is called pinky. tante pinky, to be precise

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

What a fantastic name! Are you an old poster with a new name? Sorry if this has been covered already.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:52 (twenty years ago)

that is a cool name

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

ahaha tuomas asked that yesterday on this very same thread, silly
(no is the short answer)
tante= french for aunt
pinky= cos she used to wear pink pyjamas everywhere apparently

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 10:03 (twenty years ago)

what dahlin said. i'm a know-nothing when it comes to excel and most high-level office functions, plus i work on mac not the standard pc, but i've still never scored below 90% on those pesky agency tests. i think they're mainly to weed out the total cretins. you'll be more than fine, sarah. just don't get flustered!

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 10:58 (twenty years ago)

A new thread with nearly 200 responses? I've totally given up on keeping up at this point.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

Don't worry, Sam, 90% of the posts are just "I'm not wearing any pants" or "I'm still not wearing any pants."
Not that I'm, y'know, wearing any pants.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Hi Sam! How's it all going?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

i'm wearing the same shorts again. it's mofuckin' hot. gotta run around midtown all day.

pink, nothing much more to say about the foxxxy chick. other than her memory is seared onto my mind.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

I keep looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind

They say I got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found

Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
What's it all about

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times

x-post obv!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Hi, all. I am wearing pants.

Sarah, have no fear. You'll do fine.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

sadly, i am also clothed today

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

my house mate has buggered off to amsterdam, so no pants for me around the house!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

dahlin, I saw your pretty eyes on the other thread....

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

and my puckered mouth? that's a funny picture, in retrospect.
was it a come hither stare to you?

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

'Twas mesmerizing, milady.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

awww you're a charmer, you are

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

i actually learned a lot about word by taking the test. like how to merge documents and address labels....

Yeah, I think my first encounter with mail merge was on a temp test as well. Now, sadly, I do it all the time.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Hi Pink (and everyone else),

I'm cool down here in Austin. Ok actually hot but you know what I mean.

Today I'm banging my head against the wall as I try to figure out how to properly write web scripts to interact with our mainframes. I've flown through training so far but now it's getting hard. :(

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

You'll cope, Sam! I can do that kind of thing, so I'm sure you can!

I won't say what I'm wearing - it always seems to kill the mood when I do.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

Again, no pants.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

I'm wearing three pairs of pants (two trousers and one slacks) to compensate for all you dirty perverts!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

pants. no shoes though.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

I do have pants on. It's sad but true.

I'm really upset with my sister right now.
Wanna hear about it? Here it go.
It all comes down to this. She thinks my boyfriend (*cough cough*) is holding me back in life in general. She's sent me a million emails to this effect. So I finally blew up on her and sent her a really long YOU BEST BACK UP! sort of email. Then I felt ashamed about it. I should have just called her and talked to her later when I feel more calm instead of sending her a flamer.

I mean, you guys know my bf, sort of. How could anyone say such a thing?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

Your boyfriend is soooo cute though!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

Plus, has your sister heard "Lasso The Moon"? I mean, cuz if she heard that, she'd realize how full of shit she is.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Is she just angry because you have maintained a successful relationship for 7(?) years? Has she been having problems in hers? She may be projecting or jealous or angry because you have a cool life in Chicago with cute cats.

― Dr. jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

That's probably true, doc. Plus, she resents me/him because we moved all the way to Chicago, my youngest sis moved to France, and now the one sis is stuck with appeasing both parents back in ol' Virginny. But anyway, don't take it out on my Dreamboat! That's right! I said Dreamboat! I don't care who hears me! I should have a shotgun wedding to get revenge on her.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

Jocelyn, is your last name Elders?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

Rick the Dreamboat Stagon.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

Holds you back from what, Sarah? Being in love and complicit in a band together? What nonsense!

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

Don't shoot Nick!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

Holds you back from punching your sister in the cock?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

Not everyone in Virginia raises chickens.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

my bad

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

no, she was a Joycelyn.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

I was actually confusing her with Joyce Brothers, anyway.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

I think SHE thinks that if I broke up with him I would magically:
a) have a lot more ambition on the job front
b) start dating some millionare client
c) move back to Virginia

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

hang on, what is wrong with b) there?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

So with regard to your life and love, she is a self-centered twaddlespout.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

I couldn't date Nick and a millionare at the same time. Or I don't know. Maybe I could... Maybe I could...

xpost. Basically. I don't know for sure what a twaddlespout is, but it sounds pretty accurate.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

I just coined it. I get irrationally testy when my relatives offer free advice.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

If my girlfriend/wife were dating a millionaire too, I would demand 50% of the gifts.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

P.S., when your little ménage à trois starts up, see if you can intoduce me to his rich sister.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

Also, I just had to borrow MORE money from said horrible boyfriend to avoid an overdraft fee.

Tomorrow will be better. I will be pantsless! It's these damn pants that are holding me back!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Martin, what would you do with all that lingerie and jewellry?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

I like Nick. Your sister is a stupidhead. THAT'S RIGHT, I WENT THERE.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

Sarah, none of us mind if you ditch the pants. Half this thread is apparently verging on full nekkidness, despite Huk's best efforts.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

Stupidehead = twaddlespout

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

I am with Huk on this one. I am currently wearing 19th-century scuba gear from head to toe, including the big spherical helmet with the swinging glass door.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Martin, what would you do with all that lingerie and jewellry?

Don't worry, Michael, I'm sure he'll provide photos to anyone who emails him.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

So basically this party consists of me in my sensible business attire, several half naked girls, a man in lingerie and jewels, a man who may appears to be wearing several layers of clothes and a man in a old diving costume.... I think I need a drink.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I know I do.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

I need a drink too. Is Tuesday too early in the week to start drinking?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Early in the WEEK? There is no early in the week. There's only early in the morning.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

I'll wear the harem outfit.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

Can someone pour a G&T down my breathing tube please? Thanks.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

It's like the green room of Let's Make A Deal in here!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

Early in the WEEK? There is no early in the week. There's only early in the morning.

Truer words were never spoken.

Can someone pour a G&T down my breathing tube please? Thanks.

Nick. Ready? Here goes. Is there any link between the bends and a bender?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

I'll wear the harem outfit.

Can you do a veil dance?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

I'll wear the Secretary outfit.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

I wanna be the lusty bar wench!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

(Surprise)

So because I know you are all *dying* to know: the agency didn't even give me any freakin' tests! Not even a typing test. I thought my interview went well, but...it was rather quick. So maybe it actually didn't go well. And they told me they've got nothing for me at the moment. I'll have to sign on with at least one other place. I am ready to ENTER DATA, employers. Also, the only time I have ever used mail merge was while applying for a job in 1998, when I figured it out while taking the test.

Anyway, back to talking about no pants.

i am not wearing pants, i'm wearing a kimono because i just took a shower. i need to get dressed because a friend is coming over and bringing CUPCAKES.

am in the middle of reading the thread on atheism which is really interesting to me, though i feel too spacey to contribute. and the church bells started in. do i complain about this church on my block constantly? i kinda feel like i do. loud church bells three times a day, which sometimes i don't mind, but. sometimes it annoys the shit out of me. and they play 'america the beautiful' in addition to hymnstuff. wtf.

― juliaaa, Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

I only like religious stuff on the bells. My grandmother lives in a development community whose country club plays fake bells on the hour every hour during the day and it's so embarassingly hideous.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

i'm still wearing the same shorts, i'm sweaty and gross and tired. i'm going to eat dinner, take a shower, and then GO GET DRUNK BECAUSE I'M NOT WORKING TOMORROW.

ok, so i had a relation about beautiful girl in the park, scratch that, all women, as i was walking home from the grocery store just now. i looked over and saw a similar looking beautiful woman jogging, with an arm full of tattoos, longish black hair, and pale skin. basically, i'm crazy for pale women with tattoos. i don't know why this is. but that's how it is.

just thought y'all should know.

I'm not sure how I haven't seen this thread yet -- but then again, my brother used the computer for ten hours today. I've got nothing to report (due to being socially impoverished and not being able to afford anything to do about it) aside from having watched Fantasy Mission Force, about which I have two things to ask: "Does this movie hold the world record for having the most anachronisms?" and "How many drugs did it take to create this film?"

Yeah, I'm in the middle of a New Way (OMG I just typed in "New Wave" -- er, me is pathetic) Of Living And Eating. Lots of measuring stuff, lots of reading labels, lots of saying "Can I have this?", etc. oops might be happy to know that I'm eating healthier and am getting in more fruits & veggies (& am so happy Wendy's is there to help me along at lunchtime), but... well... I guess the one positive aspect of this all is that I'll get so trim & fit that I'll actually want to take pictures of myself and post them onto one of those "what do you look like?" threads, which will hopefully start the whole online flirtation process with someone who will half-jokingly say things like "so, how are you doin', sweet cheeks?" or something like that. I don't know the exact wording, though. Have never had the pleasure ("pleasure"?) of being the subject of flirtation.

So I'm sitting here in my bedroom, trying to figure out which MP3 to listen to next, still wearing my 3/4 length dressy blouse and black slacks (me is also a masochist, apparently), trying not to think about anything at all except for regular, everyday, average life type stuff (for obv reasons), gulping down a slowly warmer glass of soda (Coke Zero) (the ice has already melted), and, well, typing away. Yeah.

Okay. I really need to get into a nightgown. One of those muumuu-y looking types. Hell, they're comfortable and I'm not looking to impress anyone (not like I could right now -- this is honesty, people). Someone requested something REALLY good on VH1C's "All Request Hour" just now, which is really great. And, well, I kinda need to get up to get changed, so, well, yeah. Hey you guys!

I am currently listening to some Talk Talk! From The Colour Of Spring, which seems to get mistaken for being a world away from The Party's Over, but both are only different in the chosen instrumentation and a slight maturation of Mark Hollis's songwriting abilities. (Not meant to be a slight -- those early songs were TIGHT.) Anyway. Enough ILMish yammering. ;) I'll listen to "Driver's seat" ASAP.

Good luck with being healthier, Dee. No one can ever tell you that's a bad idea -- as long as it's healthy.

Thanks, hon. Next thing I need to do is sign up for some form of group exercise. I don't know whether I want to go the Jazzercise route or the yoga one or to try for some circuit activity or what. I'd like to go swimming too, but, well, swimsuits.

The London explosions thread makes me really sad, too. Well, not so much the thread itself but what's been going on that's being reported on the thread. And even without the ILX link to the events, 7/7 held much more resonance to me than 9/11 ever did, because I've actually been in London and can picture the surroundings well. ARGH.

Enough enough enough enough enough enough.

Dee, I also recommend Eurythmics Greatest Hits. Is it raining with you?

Ooh! I have (not going to think) an import of that compilation I purchased in London. The main difference -- the UK one has "1984" on it, whereas the US version doesn't. And -- it's not raining here, hon. Unfortunately. Everything is arid, bone-dry, the grass crunches beneath your feet, things are starting to look brown -- that kind of dry. We haven't had a good rain in about a month and a half and even a sprinkle worth mentioning in nearly as long. The aquifer level keeps dropping half a foot a day.

Dee, I like this new screen name of yours.

Aw. Well, thank Orbit, hon -- she's the one who dreamed it up for me!

It's so fucking hot, and I've been all kinds of weird shit in case one of my visiting siblings decides they'd rather stay with me than with my parents, so I broke down and I'm wearing shorts.
I don't have sandals though, and I feel like some sort of guy Loudon Wainwright III would play in a movie who's wearing shorts for the first time and has black socks on.

Dee, I'm going to heartily second that yoga nomination.

It's a slow starter -- it'll feel good at first, and you might feel a little sore, but you won't really feel worked out until you start hitting the intermediate/advanced classes (prolly about six months in). Then, whoa nelly. And the better you get, the harder you get to work!

Whereas jazzercise or whatever'll feel really hard at first, but will start feeling routine pretty quickly as your body adapts. Bah.

NAMASTE, BITCHES!

I'm totally going to look into yoga, then. I'm sure there are yoga classes in my area, as there seems to be every other form of exercise available.

Hm.

Okay.
So, after having just come back from searching for yoga in my ciudad, I have realized there are a lot of yoga places here that are quite a long way away from where I live. I'll have to phone up a few possible places "tomorrow" (i.e. later today).

Oh, and as for socks -- I only have WHITE ones. Well, I have black (and only black!) trouser socks, but the regular cottony ones? White.

(xpostage)

HHGG = Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. I really enjoyed the book series but am still unsure about the film. But now that it's at the discount cinema close to my house, I'll have to check it out. For curiosity's sake.

― giboyeux (skowly), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 06:21 (twenty years ago)

roger you are the first person to make yoga sound appealing to me. Probably because my gym routine has become so routine that I've gotten out of the routine of even going. Anyway, as you describe it, something appeals about the workout continuing to get better I suppose, though my few exposures to yoga proved more frustrating than anything.

M White, it was more of a "we'll call you" situation, although she did say (in response to my asking if I should call) I could email to check in, particularly if I saw anything on the website that appealed. It gave me the distinct impression I should also sign on with other agencies.

but my gym offers like 10 kinds of yoga. which kind is best? if i'm aiming to increase my stretchiness and also get a workout eventually, which kind should i try?

Much love to you too Pink, and to everyone else here. What's been echoing in my mind today is "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" by Dylan Thomas. I was going to post it to the Liz thread, but I wasn't sure if it was appropriate, so I'll put it here:

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Through they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it

Dream of keeping hold of
You’d better forget it
You’ll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh you’ll regret it

No you’ll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick cos seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know

You’re the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You’d better forget it
You’ll never get it
For she’ll say there’s no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it
Oh you’ll regret it

And don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know, oh

No don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know, oh

She’s an easy lover (she’s a easy lover)
She’ll get a hold on you believe it (get a hold on you)

i did bikram yoga (the strenuous kind done in a superheated room) for a while, but i gave it up mainly due to the expense - i was paying $80 per ten classes in addition to my gym membership. also, the instructors made a big deal about needing to practice at least 4 times a week to feel real benefits and i just couldn't make the time and keep up a cardio routine as well. still, i'd recommend checking it out.

the other kind that is supposed to have more of a workout effect is astanga, which is offered at my current gym. thus far the times have been inconvenient, but i'd like to try it someday.

Good morning!

In the summer, I only like to wear tiny white ped socks with my tennis shoes. In the winter, I like to wear dark patterned knee socks. This sock report brought to you by ME.

I'm so in love with all of you today, partially because I'm not feeling so in love with my own family, but whatcha gonna do? I called my sister last night (the HAte-uh one) and she apologized, but kept saying, "I put this all in a long email to you that you probably haven't gotten yet." So, I read it this morning. And it's dumb because the first 7/8 or so of this huge email is about how she wants me to break up with my bf, but realizes, deep down, that I would never get a "good" guy and I'd probably just end up with someone exactly like him anyway, so we might as well stay together. So then the last couple of lines is something like, "You love him so I guess you should just stay with him then." Grrr.

My meddling sister arrives in town tomorrow, Sarah. I understand what you're dealing with.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Does she look in your cabinets and open drawers? Because I hate that.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

She always tries to reorganize my mother's kitchen. I think that's why my parents picked the month she was coming to have their kitchen remodeled. So she might end up staying with me. At least for a couple of days.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

According to my sister, my family is never coming to visit me again. :-( I do know, though, that my dad is still coming to visit me in September, so I guess she just means my female relatives.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Older or younger, Huk? Or perhaps she's a twin?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

this huge email is about how she wants me to break up with my bf, but realizes, deep down, that I would never get a "good" guy and I'd probably just end up with someone exactly like him anyway, so we might as well stay together.

Were my sister to send me such a long-winded, unsupportive ('never get a "good" guy?' Fuck you! I have one.) and useless e-mail i might be tempted to send her a large dog shit by Fed-Ex.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

that's too bad about your sister, sarah. sounds like she's pretending to make peace but really just taking more shots at you. grr indeed.

hatha yoga tends to be the more beginnery type. they generally have beginner classes anyway, which just have the instructor telling you variations on the poses depending on your level of flexibility, because some people just don't have the flexibility to do the stuff you might see if you look it up in a yoga book. it's pretty mellow and involves some guided meditation at the end, or just laying there being all relaxy and stretched out.

the only other yoga i have experience with is iyengar, which is great once you're in pretty good shape, but can be hard, depending on the poses. the warrior poses, for instance, can really get your thighs.

there was a yoga thread somewhere, it might be worth searching on it...

― juliaaa, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

She's three years older. My siblings are all three (school) years apart. 30, 28, 24, 22...HOLY FUCK, my baby brother is 22!!! I thought maybe, maaaayyyyyybe, he was 20. Well, I never really thought about it. I don't want to be old anymore. I want to go back and start over at 18.

Huk, on the bright side, he can take you out for drinks now.

Wow. Nice.
xpost

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. The drinking age here is 19, so that's been going on for a while. Last year, he took me out on my birthday, and we had a few, and he wound up getting all sentimental and stuff, like we had maybe just had our first, y'know, hang out as peer-ish adults, and when we were leaving the bar to go our seperate ways, he gave me this big hug and held it a little long, and it was kinda weird. I haven't spoken to him since.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Dude, he was 21, not the grizzled old blase veteran that you are.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

I just drooled coffee all over myself.

Here's the view from down the hall, looking East:

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

Great pic, M White!

According to my sister, the reason no one says anything about her boyfriend is that:
1) he never does anything wrong and
2) there's no chance they'll get married any time soon

I know she's stressed out though. She takes the bar next month. Also, she's worried my mom will have a heart attack and need to be supported financially. But STILL.

Ok, I promise I'll shut up about this... for, um... a couple of minutes.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

I wish I had Nick's digital camera at work with me so I could take a pic outside, but here's one from this past spring.

Sarah, you forgot

3) I have no effin' idea who the blighter is.

Last photo, I promise (I just got a hand-me-down digital camera from a friend so expect ungodly amounts of photos of my cats). This is the view looking West from the window behind me:

sarah, i'm really sorry about your sister. i don't know what to say except that we all know that nick is a decent & good man & it's puzzling where all this criticism is coming from. it almost sounds like it's less about him though & more about her creating an opportunity to make you feel bad about stuff...?

it's crazy how that little ad is such the focal point of that photo!

i am so lucky to have a sister i get along well with. my earliest memories are of listening to music with her.

a friend of mine is taking her sister to court and dealing with alllll this vitriolic bullshit. wow, family.

i like those pics...

― juliaaa, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

xposts. Re:pic 3: Wow.

Actually, my pic doesn't capture any of the excitement of the view out my window. There's a draw brdige with traffic zipping over it. Underneath (on the other side of that fence) is the river. The factory on the other side of the water is huge. I think they make cement blocks there. There's a large machine that lifts some sort of sand off a boat and into boxes that travel up a conveyer belt, through a huge metal box, and then up another conveyer belt... What a need to do is take a short video.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, kelceeeeeee. Apparently, it all boils down to him not being a good enough HOST when people come to visit. Next time I'm dressing him up in a butler's outfit and making him serve cocktails. That will show them! But really, he just doesn't DO small talk.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

I chatted with dahlin for a long time last night. She's pretty awesome.

Pic 3:

You can tell it's morning because of the shadows, yet already in the distance is the summer fog, lurking with intent. Nothing short of coming up here to the 46th floor conveys how impressive the views are. There's only one other building this tall in SF and I'm 5 floors below the top. Maybe later in the week I'll take some photos of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge from the other side of the building.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

So you're saying your family want you to marry a butler, Sarah? I pride myself on being a pretty good host. On a good night my gf and I run like a well-oiled machine, putting up coats, fixing drinks, serving food, etc... but that's hardly the most important criterion in choosing a bf, is it?

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Ground floor. Were there a window (and there are windows, it's just that they're reserved for the Important People who need cubicle walls and are all currently on vacation), and had I camera, I would post a picture of a grimy intersection, with a McDonald's on one corner, a Burger King on the other, and a strip mall with a Dairy Queen, a paint store and a laundromat on the other.

xpost,

Also, from what I've gleaned on ILX and from the FF songs, you and Nick make each other happy. I envy you two.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

I want to visit, M White!

Huk, the only reason I have a window is that I'm in the LOBBY Receptioning people. Also, screw her. No, that's not a request. I didn't mean... I take that back.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

M. White, those pictures are great! I don't have a window in my office, and we're only on the second floor, so the view would be the gas station and self-storage building next door.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

Any time, Sarah. No offense, but your sister doesn't sound too happy.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

It's just a little digital snapshot dealie but the City's been beautiful over the last couple of days.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

The thing with Sarah's family is very complicated and there are several factors that lead to these tensions, but the main parts are:
* Sarah's family, at least her and and her mom and her sisters, is very close. They visit each other a lot, talk to each other daily, share everything that's going on in their lives, etc. My family isn't that close. I love them but I talk to my parents for maybe 20 minutes every week about day-to-day stuff and my sister every couple of months. So the way they interact with each other is just different from what I'm used to. Plus they are all ladies, so I'm the one guy, so I'm an "outsider" in more than one way.
* I'm not good at small talk and I'm not used to lots of people being in my apartment for several days in a row. So when they visit, I tend to retreat into another room and not talk very much. They (understandably) see this as rude.
Basically I just need to realize that behavior that I see as normal can be interpreted as rude by others and think more about how I act when Sarah's family is in town. I think her sister is being kind of overblown and exaggerated about the whole issue but there's probably a truth at the core of her problems with me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

The next time you have a party dress Nick up like the Penguin from Batman, and whenever anyone asks him anything, he has to reply with "ack ack" and rub his hands together. That may just freak her out though.
I don't have a window either, and I wish I was in San Francisco. I've never been there : ( I've been staring at the same shelf of books for weeks now...
I am going to see Fantastic Four with my dad this weekend when he comes to visit and it will be great! His wife hates cheesy sci-fi/comic movies and I love them, and we have a history of seeing them together in the summer.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

The responsibilities of hosts and guests are reciprocal, Nick. Do you spend a lot of time at home laconically killing time on your own? Once you've ascertained that the ladies are well fed, refreshed, and reasonably entertained w/TV, music, comfortable reading chair, etc...you shouldn't have to wait on them hand and foot. They are family. Also, since they purportedly know you, why would they expect you to turn into a sparkling small talker overnight? Why can't they take you for who you are? Sarah has.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

sarah, that email sounds terrible! i don't know him for real, but i have to say that n/a rocks around here, and any guy that can make you laugh with rubbish puns is worth keeping. maybe you could have him make a list of rubbish puns about her, and the two of you could send them to her?

i agree with dr joycelyn, it sounds like she's feeling sorry for herself (stuck out there) and trying to make you feel crap so you give in and move back home. i can almost convince myself to feel sorry for her! but not quite...

I guess today's my turn to be clotheless, since I'm not wearing a shirt. It's freakin' hot in here at the moment, and I just put my last good shirt at the washing machine. I'm looking at my chest and tummy hair, and I just realized that there's quite a lot of it! The amount of hair on my body has grown slowly but surely, like some sort of a alien parasite that infiltrates your body, but does it in such a sneaky way you won't even notice it until it's too late! I've often considered a wax job, but I find the idea rather repulsive, so maybe I'll just have to hope for chest hair to come back in fashion again.

I agree this thread is great for keeping your spirits up when everything is down.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

Beware Tuomas! If she actually fancies you her powers of perception will penetrate your faux-gay mask and she will sexually enslave you. OTOH, I've always enjoyed this.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand the whole hanging-out-nekkid thing. At most, at home, I will strip down to boxers and a t-shirt, but I don't really comfortable going without a shirt unless I'm going to sleep.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

Be careful what you wish for, Tuomas.

I'm with Nick on this: At most, at home, I will strip down to boxers and a t-shirt. I feel terribly vulnerable with all my dangly bits unclothed and I don't relish the idea of anybody, save perhaps my cats, sitting naked on the furniture and it's just never warm enough to go around shirtless chez moi.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

I only spend time naked when I'm in the shower or when I have special guests.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

I think part of the reason I'm usually somewhat clothed from the waist down is that the couch almost always has cat hair on it and.. I don't know... I just don't want it touching my skin. I do like cat hair ON cats though.

I don't think I have explained here that I may have made a final break with my mother. Our phone conversation, something over a week ago, went something like this.

Her: "I was VERY disappointed you didn't call on your birthday, so now I've had to call." (yeah, I kind of thought people called you on your birthday, but it seems I was wrong)
Me: "Yeah, I am sorry about that and I have been meaning to call, but I've had the most horrible month - an old friend of mine was the victim of a hit and run accident, and eventually died, and I just went to his funeral and all that. I've just been horribly depressed and haven't felt up to calling anyone."
Her: "Well I didn't know that - you should have called me to tell me about it."
Me: "Um, I didn't feel at all up to calling anyone - it really upset me."
Her: "So who was this, someone you work with I suppose?" (context: she has never accepted I could have friends, making comments like 'but they don't bother with you, do they?' with as much loathing as she can inject into the 'you')
Me: "No, a friend, someone I'd been friends with for about fifteen years."
Her: "Well, I didn't know this person, so you can't expect me to take it into account." (note that she didn't actually ask who - she has met some of my old friends)
I can't remember exactly where it went from there, but I got pretty upset and angry. She left it that she'd expect me to ring back and apologise for being so unreasonable. I left it that she would have a very long wait for that.

I predicted to one or two friends that she would at least suspect that perhaps it wasn't 100% me to blame for the disagreement, so she'd be talking to family and trying to get them to weigh in on her side - I said I expected contact from my brother within days. It was actually my cousin, so I wasn't quite right.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

I like my housecoat, even though it's waaaay too hot for it these days. But I'm almost never naked under there, either.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Aw, hey, Martin, I'm not sure if that good or bad news.
Bad news in that it's such a drastic thing to cut off relations with your mother, but good news in that, y'know, you deserve to be treated better than that.

I don't mind hanging out naked. I would do it more often if it wasn't for, yes, the cat hair.

I do it all the time, including right now. It's hot, and this flat isn't overlooked by anywhere else.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

I rarely walk around completely naked, usually I at least have panties on, but sometimes in the summer when it's stinking hot and I'm home alone and just out of the shower, I'll stand unclad in front of the airconditioner and get deliciously cold.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

i want an apron. where does one buy aprons?

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Here we have lots of kitchen/cooking supply stores. I'm sure you look delicious in nothing more than an apron, dahlin.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, that's what i'm talkin' about

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

"Diamond Girl Apron. Look fantastic even while you're doing the housework with this gloriously glamorous gift set. The words ‘housework' and ‘glamour' just don't go together somehow. After all, where's the glamour in scrubbing the floor or washing up? But all that's about to change thanks to the Diamond Girl Apron. With an apron and washing up gloves that are more catwalk than kitchen, you'll look like a million dollars even when you're serving up dinner. This unique apron is designed in the style of a sultry evening dress, with a sexy red Basque-style bodice and revealingly risqué red and black net skirt. A red and black rose corsage completes the look. It's the ideal choice for a dinner party; after all, you don't want to let your perfect hostess image slip even for a moment. Your guests will gasp in wonder at how glamorous you stay even when you're cooking."

god it's hideous isn't it? catwalk my ass....

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it looks rather silly. Besides, you wouldn't want it to get dirty, which is contrary to the whole idea of an apron.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

I just realized that I don't find the color red all that sexy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Or at least, no more sexy than any other color.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Red is almost always sexy. However, apron = washing up, cooking, cleaning = not sexy, so making an apron red is insufficient to make it sexy.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

£7.95/$12.32 doesn't speak too highly for its quality either.

What's the sexiest color, then? I say... black. Or maybe purple.

I like the fancy aprons at Anthr0p0l0gie.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

a woman dressed to do your culinary bidding is not sexy? hmmm. men.
i think black is definitely sexy. i hope so, at least. it's all i tend to wear.
point me in that direction, sarah!

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

I like walking around the house nude, but unfortunately right now I live with three girls I don't know that well, and I guess they'd find it rather uncomfortable.

It was easier with my previous flatmate, she even asked me to feel the lump on her breast.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

inspired by the pix above, here's one from out my window earlier this afternoon. also i'm naked, though not by choice. well, gotta go. time for them to wire me up and strap me to the rusty bed springs for my 2:30. i'll never talk!

Speaking of my ex-flatmate, is it unpolite to ask a girl whether her breasts have turned bigger? Because I asked her that yesterday, and the other girls present thought I was implying she'd gotten fatter, though that definitely wasn't my intention.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Tuomas, you crack me up! :)

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

they get bigger during "that time." you should've politely asked if she was on the rag.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

Maybe her breasts are the same size, but she's getting smaller?

I think that gradually shrinking until you were the size of an ant would be terrifying enough, but imagine if one part of you, like your ear, wasn't affected and stayed the same size, and eventually you died from being crushed by your own ear.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I think they looked bigger because she wearing a tight sweater, something that she usually doesn't do. It felt like the other girls were more offended by my comment than she was, because, as I told her, having shared a flat with her I was already acquainted with her breasts.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

the other girls were probably offended because you didn't inquire about all of their breasts.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

oooo, i vote for black for sexxxy color.

of course, i wear a lot of black because it always matches and doesn't show stains rhat much when i'm all klutzylike with food or whatever.

but oh yes, sexxxy.

purple's pretty great too.

oh, i thought i posted this and then didn't and so lots of xposts because i can't keep track of things.

how well acquainted are you with this girl's breasts, tuomas? i think i'd be a bit baffled if someone commented on my changing breast size, i have no idea how i'd react.

― juliaaa, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

You should put together a line graph that represents the changing sizes and shapes of all of your roommates' breasts, and stick it to the fridge with a smiley face magnet.

When I lost a lot of weight, my chest dropped a few sizes. :-( Now I just need to figure out how to only gain weight in that area and then stop.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i've dropped/gained sizes over and over with weight swings. and now none of my bras fit me, though i have a variety of sizes, which is irksome.

i've lost so much weight and all this time has gone by, and i'm gaining a bit now but should probably gain more to be more of a normal-me kind of weight. but part of me is kind of wondering if now that i'm oh noes over 30 it'll all go to my thighs or something and i'll become this freakishly proportioned monstrosity instead of looking the way i did before the weight loss. or maybe it'll all go to my ass and i'll have a hard time keeping my balance because of having a huge ass. or something comical and ridiculous like that.

― juliaaa, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

And -- oops, I thought you ate really healthfully all the time... ?

hahahahahahaha no. I'm lucky in that I have a very quick metabolism and I like sports and outdoor activities. I don't remember exactly what our conversation consisted of a year or so ago, but more often than not when I give advice, it also serves as a way of reminding myself to follow it.

Anyway. Thank you for your really kind words, hon. You is big sweetie and me want give you hug! HUG!

Sure, anytime. for both the kind words and the HUG!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Wait, do you girls really not have male friends entitled to comment on your hair/clothes/breast size, etc...? I'm not saying one shouldn't be diplomatic, but I have plenty of friends, male and female, that comment upon me and vice versa. I'm not sure I'd approach one of them out of the blue, and perhaps not in earshot of others, and say, "Honk! Honk!, My, but you look bustier today!" But I might nudge a friend and tell her tits/top look good today, new bra?, or something like that.

My gf comes in the bathroom while I'm in the shower in the morning and makes me check out her ensemble if she's not sure, regardless of whether I'm shaving or have shampoo dripping down my face.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

sure, male friends are welcome to comment on various aspects of appearance. breast size...well, yeah, i guess it's all in how it's said.

How about "BOINGY BOINGY BOINGY"?

how well acquainted are you with this girl's breasts, tuomas? i think i'd be a bit baffled if someone commented on my changing breast size, i have no idea how i'd react.

Well, as I said, when we were sharing the flat she had a small lump on her breast and she asked me to check if it felt weird or something, so I'd say her breasts are no taboo. Generally I don't have much trouble talking with my friends about theit boobs, but I do realize some people are more sensitive to the issue than others. The last time I mentioned to an another friend that her boobs seemed to have gotten bigger, she just replied, "Gee, thanks!".

I like the night time best, and feel deeply cheated and resentful when it is still hot and sweaty at midnight. (Assuming that's down to temperature - hot and sweaty down to company is another matter entirely, obviously.)

I'm off to work now. I'm going to be exhausted by tonight, having got up about an hour early, again... I hope your migraine vanishes.

I'm still up, awake, sitting here on my chair, nodding off, feeling like my head is about to roll off. So why am I still up? Because I'm insane, that's why. And why am I posting this to this thread? Because I just wanted to check in. And I haven't read much ever since the last things I posted herein, which means I'm going to have to play catch-up yet again when I wake up in the a.m. Okay. I just ended up dozing off, so I think I'm going to need to wrap this one up for now.

Also, Sarah & Martin, I wanted to lend my sympathies/baseball bat to your siutations with your families. I am lucky enough to have a fantastic family & this kind of thing is alien to me. Indeed my mum sent me an email the other day (after my sponsored run) telling me how much she loved me & how proud she was. Also, how much she loved James & seeing us together made her so happy.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 14 July 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Took me one hour 50 minutes to get to work (normally 45 minutes). Victoria line down - those who know London, and know the Piccadilly line is out for a while after the bombing, will understand what that does to transport in NE London. Crowded bus, really sleepy after a bad night => dozing off. Add in the heat, and you wake up covered in sweat and feeling headachey - and that's a hell of a prelude to a day's work...

mullygrubbr, is other such work feasible? How soon would you be in desperate financial trouble if no more materialises?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 14 July 2005 08:57 (twenty years ago)

Horribly so, but really a bit of transport inconvenience is nothing.

It's always a hard gamble, and one that has a lot of factors. All I can say is weigh up: pleasure at leaving the current job; pleasure at spare time; difficulty of finding other work; likely income level, and what that does to your lifestyle options; how you'd cope if nothing else came in over that 3-4 months. Some people make jumps like this and regret it, some thrive.

Ooh yes, good calls, J.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 14 July 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

Yes, The Lex is Alex in his civilian identity.

I don't think he's too musclebound at all - those forearms have the longer lines of functional muscles. I like him.

I just realized I don't know Pinkpanther's real name either! Nor M. White's first name (unless it really is Miguel). My name has never been a secret, it's Tuomas Tapani Alho. And there's no need to worry about googlers, the content of ILX threads is ungooglable nowadays.

Mine is the English version of Miguel.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

I think dogs are cute and all, but I don't know that I could own a big dog with a big penis. It would be too disturbing.

I would get my dog fixed on principle but Pugsley is a sweetheart. he lives with two cats and a teenager and still manages to be very good tempered.

and i read m. white as 'mr. white' in my head. mr white was my elementary school principal. he ran away with 'a married lady'. i assume you are not actually him.

i'm in a funny way today. i went to bed last night with a couple bug bites, couldn't sleep (and have a cold and have hardly slept all week, i'm going crazy) and got up about 3.30 to find huge welts all over my body, like a million mosquitos chewed on me. took a cool shower, toby put on some cortosone creme and i took an antihistimene. which i can't spell. oh well. welts went down but reappeared today. pharmacist says it's likely a food allergy of come kind. it itches SO BAD.

parents, welts, and sleep deprivation? sounds like a rather challenging combo.

― juliaaa, Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Aaargh! My French teacher in High School insisted on frenchifying our names which I hated. Michel Blanc, though I respect the actor, is a name that gives me the willies.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

M'el Blanc?

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

i was frenchified to juliette. i always wanted a cool name like chantal.

I came frenchified already. Dammit Mom!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

I figured that if it was good form to pronounce the name of a Frenchman named Richard, 'reeshar', then it would be good form for the french to call me Michael. Instead, they tend to call me Mickael, which is pronounced approx. 'micka-el'. Strangely, I don't mind my name in most languages as much as I do in French.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

me too, luna. except my french teacher was weird so she made me pick a different name. i was 'pauline'.

I've told you before, luna, I really do prefer your name in French. Their was a girl who spurned my love in kindergarten who really ruined the English version for me. (This may be entirely fabricated)

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Haha, you should hear foreigners try to pronounce my name...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

At the risk of getting a smack, I'd venture to suggest that that's proven to be a rather useful language for the French to speak, Luna.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

(x-post)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

I made out with a Hanoi Rocks worshipping Finnish girl in Copenhagen when I was 16 whose name was so hard to pronounce, I can't even remember what it was.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

tuomas, i was just wondering yesterday how exactly your name is pronounced.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

My name does not have a Spanish equivalent apparently, so in the 6th grade, the other Kenny was called "Enrique" (Henry, maybe it was his middle name) and I was called Quintín (Quentin), pronounced Kean-TEEN. My friend Doug was called "Diego" (James).

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

I think I tried to use every possible pronunciation of your name on the ILXor rhymes thread, Tuomas.

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

Didn't he go over this somewhere, once?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

Well, it's kinda hard to explain in English... You could take the name "Thomas", the English version of mine. The t and the m and the s are pretty much the same as in Thomas. All the vowels are short. The a is pronounced like the o in the word "blood". The uo is kinda hard, but the u is pronounced like the o in the words "cool" and "move", and the o is pretty much the same as in Spanish (like in the name "Diego").

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Is the 'uo' anything like it is in duo?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

so like, too-oh-mus? which syllable gets stressed?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

A bit, thought the u in my name is closer to o in "cool" than the german ü; and if you think the o in duo consists of two sounds, then you use only the first. I can't really think of any English words that would have the Finnish o sound, that's why it's easier trough (Spanish pronouncation is quite close to Finnish anyway).

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

I always think of it as essentially 2wamuss.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

(x-post)

so like, too-oh-mus? which syllable gets stressed?

Yeah, expect that the word "to" is closer than "too". In Finnish the first syllable is always stressed. And Finnish pronouncation is easy in that sense that every letter is always pronounced (almost) the same way.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

is the finnish 'o' kinda like o'er? or akin to a strong minnesotan accent? (guess you might not know what that sounds like)

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

we need a .wav file!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

In Finnish ears the English o consists of two sounds, which are like the Finnish o and u (though the u sound is perhaps closer to the German ü than the Finnish u). The first of those sounds is pretty much like the Finnish o.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

wait do you pronounce "too" different than "to"?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Isn't the vowel part in too longer than in to?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

Not really.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure I'll get some pushback, but actually, yes.

haha xpost

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Hold on, you're saying to and too are pronounced the same way??!! Have I been misled for the last 15+ years??

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

haha yeah they are. or *I* have been misled for 27 years!

did you take english class throughout your schooling?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

Of course they are pronounced differently, but only some of the time. You can never blur 'too' to 'tuh', is the main difference.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

'Too' is subject to stressing more often, "too kind of you" more often than 'to' is, though if you're correcting someone's misuse of the preposition, 'to' can be stressed as well, "I said to the right, not from the right.'

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

It may vary slightly regionally (vis. mary/marry/merry, pin/pen, cot/caught), but in spoken American "to" is often pronounced t' or t[is there htmlz0r for a "schwa"?], while "too" is always fully voiced.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

yeah now that i think about it, 9 times out of 10 i'll say "i have to go tuh the store". i'm guessing british english speakers do not do this.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 14 July 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

With nothing to go one but the spelling and this discussion (and my old Swedish mechanic's awesome accent), I'd prolly pronounce "Tuomas" as T'oam[schwa]ss

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

English people pronounce "to" "tuh"/"t'" in normal conversation, but taking it as a discrete word, it's pronounced exactly the same way as "too".

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

I always figured it was pronounced TWO-ah-mas

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

^^Me too Orbit.

My name is just plain old "Sarah". Although I think it's a pretty name, it's not that exciting. That said, I instantly like people called "Sarah". I always presumed M White's name was Michael as I'm sure that he used to use his full name which is actually the name of someone I know irl! I wondered for a while if it was the same person, but it's sooo not! hehe!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

There was a Tuomas from Finland who went to my high school, so I assumed I knew how to pronounce it correctly, but reading your instructions it sounds like it's actually pronounced differently. Perhaps High School Tuomas had simplified it for Americans...

Tough week indeed. :-( I'm a bit up & down. One minute I'm ok, the next I'm unbearable sad & upset.
Plans for this w/e well it's difficult, I should let TITTWIS decide. Tomorrow I could
1) Go into Cambridge & have a mouch around for the day & then get a yummy curry in the evening possibly with the chance of seeing new baby godson
2) Go for a bide ride & a picnic
3) Go to the seaside
4) Stay at home & have a BBQ
YOU decide!!

In totally unrelated news, the other night I found a list of names in my journal from 1995. It was the summer right before I went to college and I had decided I wanted a new name to match this new identity I was going to have. I read it out loud to Nick. Luna was on there, as was Lili, which I seriously considered using. But most of the names were completely embarassing, like Ophelia and Sabrosa and Soma...

If I had a blog, this post would go there, but I don't, but I wanted to put it down somewhere. Please either read or skip over as you see fit & I'm sorry if this is inappropriate & massively self-indulgent.

After all of the plans that were loosely considered for Saturday, we decided to go to London. Then, after hearing the sad news on Friday evening, I wanted to go to London more than ever. I purchased a posy of flowers that comprised of gerberas (my favourite) & lilies, both pink of course, & a card with Picasso's dove of peace on the front. We got on the train bound for London & as we neared Finsbury Park I decided to write in the card. I thought I knew what I wanted to write, but I only got as far as "Dearest Liz" before I broke down. It is a strange thing to be so publicly upset on a crowded train with people staring at you. J gathered up the card & held my hand. When we got to King's Cross I was glad to get off the train. I was surprised to see that there were no obvious signs of anything being wrong, although I’m not sure what I expected to see, but still. I took a deep breath & we headed down to the tubes. There were continuous messages about the Piccadilly line being closed & I know it was necessary, but I wanted it to stop. It was crowded & extremely hot. We watched one tube arrive & then leave, as I wasn't keen to squeeze myself in with all of the people. J held my hand until we got on to the tube; we were split up, which unnerved me. I wasn’t scared of something happening, just scared in general I think. We got off the tube at Warren Street & made our way to Russell Square. I managed to stop en route & write the card. It’s such a nice part of London & was a pleasant walk, which helped immensely. We then saw a road closed sign & a policeman standing guard next to it which kind of brought me back down to earth with a bump. I had never been to Russell Square & was surprised to see how pretty it was. There was a fountain in the middle with lots of people milling around. It was so peaceful too considering there were children playing & dogs barking. We made our way through the park to where masses of flowers had already been laid. I knelt down & placed the flowers & the card next to a single dying rose. Again I was overcome with emotion. We sat nearby to the flowers & I was astonished at the amount of people that came over to the same area, not to lay flowers, but just to read the cards that had been left. If it helps you to make sense of it all, then fine, I just don't think I could have read any of these cards. One woman was very overcome, but kept on reading. I walked over to her & handed her a tissue, for which she seemed grateful. After a while I decided it was time to go, although I could have sat there all afternoon. I went over to adjust my flowers although they didn’t need adjusting & turned & walked away. Upon leaving Russell Square, I saw some “missing” posters on a telephone box. I felt sad, as I knew the poster had been put up with hope & that the woman was now a part of the ever-increasing toll. We walked & walked around parts of London that I don’t recall ever having been to. Bloomsbury, Holborn, etc. The streets were quiet & most of the shops were closed & it was all so appropriate. Eventually we headed back into London’s busier areas & spent the afternoon mingling in with the crowds. It was then time to return home & we headed back to Kings Cross. Our train wasn’t for another 30 minutes & I foolishly requested that we walk outside to the platform. Again I expected to see something, but there was nothing. Then I looked up at all of the “missing” posters on the boards outside the station; Liz’s amongst them. I had an overwhelming urge to take the poster of Liz down so that her family & friends wouldn’t have it there as an horrific reminder, as if they needed one, but it wasn’t my place & I couldn’t have done it anyway.
Although it was a sad day, I am glad that I did it & I am glad that I walked around London in the sunshine & reminded myself about how much I have always loved London.

I hug you, Pink. That was very touching.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 18 July 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

I have avoided the area completely but now have a sense of compulsion to stop by and pay respects at some point this week. Maybe it will help make it all seem more real to me too (this perhaps being a big reason why I've been able to carry on 'as normal' for much of the last week).

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 18 July 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

In the summer, I only like to wear tiny white ped socks with my tennis shoes. In the winter, I like to wear dark patterned knee socks. This sock report brought to you by ME.

today i am wearing girls' socks that i bought at glastonbury to prevent welly-rub. they are supposed to go all the way up and over the knees, and they are red/black striped. obv, they are rolled down to look like normal socks. sock report ends.

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 18 July 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Stevem - although it was extremely upsetting, it was somewhat cathartic. I had the chance to say goodbye to Liz on my own terms in peaceful beautiful surroundings.

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me
Here tonight
The music playin'
Our bodies swayin' in time
(In time, in time, in time)

Touching you
So warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darlin'
Oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on your face I see a trace of love
(Of love, of love, of love)

Come hold me close
Don't let me go
I need you, honey
I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above

Oooh
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

And baby baby!
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me
Here tonight

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby!
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Orbit, I thought of you on the weekend when I was covering a big country music festival in the sticks and missed the shuttle bus and had to kill 90 minutes in a suburban mall.
In a discount store they had these little rubber Mounties that you stick in water and they expand. It had a card attached that listed ten reasons why a rubber Mountie was better than a man (#1: He's always at attention!), and, y'know, sexy citizenship, etc.

i don't know. he met her while he was dating me, i believe him when he says they just really started with the chemistry and such recently, and started dating last week. but, fucking OUCH.

i was just thinking last night about how i keep deluding myself into thinking i'm getting over him, and then the truth surfaces that no, i'm still all piney and all that shit, deep down.

― juliaaa, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Ouch. I know how that feels, Julia.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

That must be extra tough, julia, since he's been visiting you. I mean, it's one thing to try to be friends afterwards, but quite another to be the kind of friends that talk about who they are dating.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

This is just a bad week, I think. Yesterday I talked to my sister and she intimated to me that she thought my dad is finally entering the latter stages of Parkinson's and you know, when your dad (even though you don't get along as well now) was your superman as a kid and now is all shuffly and can't walk at all when his meds don't kick in, well, it just really, really fucking sucks ass.

oh, luna, i'm so sorry to hear that. that must be heartbreaking--i can't imagine. hugs to you.

I mean, it's one thing to try to be friends afterwards, but quite another to be the kind of friends that talk about who they are dating.

it's not like he had talked to me about it...he just sent me an email to tell me so that i would know, which is fair enough. a friend thinks that i should take a break from him altogether for a while, and i don't know wtf to think.

― juliaaa, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

It is so, so hard to let go, but your friend is most likely OTM.

You don't have to do it cold turkey though -- that works, but it can create drama in the short term, requires intense discipline, and like any cold turkey plan, is vulnerable to backsliding. (The rules are so rigid that once they're the tiniest bit broken it feels as though they've gone out the window.)

Here's a field-tested program:

1. Don't initiate contact (phone, email, txt, whatever).
2. When contacted, don't reply immediately (let phone go to vmail, wait overnight).
3. Keep contact very brief (after 5 minutes of phone, "you have to go" - no explanations; if you reply to an email, write no more than a few lines, no paragraphs.)
4. Do not discuss feelings, emotional state, or details of personal life (what you're doing, who you're doing it with).

This may seem severe, or even manipulative. But it's mostly, er, self-manipulation - it helps to affirm the "I'm over him" feeling and quiet the deep-down piney feeling.

fwiw, anyway. just a stranger on the internets etc etc, but a connoisseur of heartbreak, so naturally my heart goes out...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

thank you.

we'd been hanging out, with other friends around as well, regularly since the breakup. i guess the new gf is long distance, so it's not like i'll have to see her or meet her, anyway. but maybe even a break from the impersonal-occasional-hanging-out is needed. i miss him as a friend as well as a bf though, and this just sucks. it was hurting enough feeling like he was at such an emotional distance, without knowing he'd moved on moved on. i may not be making any sense at all.

i will try to stop whining. not sure how successful that'll be.

― juliaaa, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, cause I went to high school in New England and we used to spend time in Boston... It sounds like 'home' to me.

Also, I still have no idea what's up with him, did he have surgery? did he not? no one knows! but my mom emailed her aunt who lives near him and so maybe she knows... it's weird, tho. I mean, I've known he's dying since I was 12, but now that it's getting to the point of 'nothing else is gonna get him because he'll die of Parkinson's first' and though it will still take some time, it's just... bad. REAL bad.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 07:24 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I guess I have to. My sister and I have both said we'd go live with him, but he's so fucking stubborn and refuses to admit that he wants us to. My sister said she was telling him a story about her son shitting the bed - yeah I dunno, she's weird - and she said 'well, gosh what would you say to me if I did it?' and she laughed it off, but she said he sounded really small... Oh fuck I don't know, my melodrama quotient is so high at night and fuck this really just isn't something I can handle.

Hey. Wait a sec. Even in my universe, work is, as my dad used to say, "knocking my dick in the dirt", though I am entirely of the wrong gender to actually have a dick, so let's just consider that phrase a metaphorical one, shall we? Anyway. Work is really, really hectic for me right now, but this should be good news, as it means my employers are doing well and there's no chance of layoffs because of that, and hopefully there'll be some new hires in my department soon. Anyway. The universe must really be grinding us employed dudes in right now. Hm. And I have no idea what to watch right now. I'm thinking of just putting on either the Weather Channel or NBC Weather Plus and then muting the TV, then listening to some MP3s. Hm. You know, that'd work really well! I think I'll do that now. But first, hughughug galore to you lot.

nono - it made perfect sense, and you're absolutely right. it's just hard to see when you're understaffed and everything's coming off the rails around you and you're apologizing to your friends for nreaking plans and you've got a white-hot ball of stress in your belly that tastes just like tears...

Happy Birthday Orbit.

I was just reading about Record Stores in the Austin Chronicle. They're all gone. Sound Exchange looks like this now:

http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2004-06-25/music_feature-7.jpg

So they saved the mural. Big fuckin' deal.

Jupiter -- gone. Both locations. 33 Degrees -- gone. Tower -- gone.

I'm depressed. All the places I used to buy music are dead. I feel so old and worn out.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Last week my boss asked me to sell or donate some office furniture that we no longer need. A friend of mine works at a women's theater here in SF and I have contrived, hopefully, to have them take some/all of it. I love the idea of this giant, soulless investment bank donating to a theater full of angry drama dykes. It appeals perfectly to my sense of humor and to my sense of civic duty.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

The record store that I spend my entire teenage years in is on the verge of closing for the second time.
I suppose I'm part of the problem. I'm not buying that much music anymore (I'm just not as compelled to hear EVERYTHING like I was when I was 15-25). But yesterday, or maybe the day before, definitely the day before, I bought this really awesome recent collection of Brit Girls Pop from the Sixties. It's so good.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 21 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I'm trying to remember the name of our main competitor when I ran the Music Baron store there...might've been Tramp's on Scarth. It was somewhere near there I think, a few blocks SE of there, kind of an oldish store but still kinda cool. That was a long time ago, though. Is it X-Ray that's closing? That's terrible.

Happy birthday, Orbit!

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 21 July 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

A local record store I used to adore, Apple Records, closed up shop about eight years ago, which made me really depressed, until a new business opened up in its stead some three years ago. It's a branch of CD Exchange, i.e. basically the same thing Apple Records was. (Both of them were/are secondhand music outlets.) So maybe there'll be some new, similar businesses opening up in those now-lost music stores.

Kenan: At least Waterloo Records ain't going anywhere. But... all the Tower locations in Austin are shuttered?! Dude, that's kinda harsh. I was kinda looking forward to playing hooky one day from work/school and going to Austin so I could get the opportunity to do some browsing at a Tower. I better hurry up there to A-Town before they start closing all the Half Price Bookstores.

Pink, Archel, dahlin, Martin, lauren: My thoughts are with you and the rest of the UK crew. Please stay safe! *hug*

Welcome back, Ian! Your dreams are your ticket out... oops. Sorry, that song just floated right into my mind. Even though I haven't seen an ep of that program in YEARS. Anyway -- welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaack.

Je4nne: That is... ick.

Chris V: You work for P N C? OMG. It must seriously suck that you're hearing that about your employers, though, yeah, it does afford you the luxury of anticipating what might or will happen to YOUR job and thus makes you able to start looking elsewhere. BTW, I've never seen a branch of this bank locally but have seen their ATMs at the shopping mall nearest to me (odd, but maybe they and the Simon Mall Group have some sort of national arrangement) and know that That Duran Band has performed at a venue called the P N C B a n k Arts Center before in the past, so I've heard of it.

Emma Lazaraus was born today in 1849.

NOT like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

It's not illegal to OWN spray paint in Chicago, it's illegal to sell spray paint in Chicago. At least, that's how I understand it.

I'm bopping to Gang of Four, but I'm pretty peeved because I sent Vivien Goldman's "Launderette" to myself but Yousendit isn't letting me download it, saying that I've used up the bandwidth for it or removed it when I haven't sent the file to anyone else and I haven't even touched it until now. BASTARDS. Stupid me also didn't think to split the first four Disco Inferno EPs into four separate .zip files, so instead I've got one big .zip file that will take five hours to download and the internet connection frequently cuts out so I have to redownload the whole file over again.

And we stay there really late. And then I realize - Oh shit - I forgot to book a hotel room for my stay and hadn't saved up any money for a room anyway.

gah, i woke up with a sappy song in my head. begone, sappy song! i had sarah in my head the other night, i don't remember what song it was. it was kinda funny because i was in a bit of a foul mood but i had a cheery fake fictions song singing to me. which is cool.

i'm watching out of order discs of 24. i really need to learn to get my netflix list in order a bit better.

good morning!

― juliaaa, Monday, 25 July 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

Good morning, julia! I hope you really meant it was cool and not annoying. I can't get our newest song out of my head. It's too catchy! ARGH!

It's ok, Pink. I forgive you! I was too embarassed to tell anyone I couldn't afford a room, so how could you know? You were very friendly though.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

Phew, I am friendly irl too I promise!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

According to the Crate & Barrel catalog I received in the mail, my name is Sarah Hively Johnson. I can't decide if that's pronounced HIVE-lee or HIV-uh-lee.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Hively to rhyme with lively, at least that's how I'd read it.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

Hello, everyone. I'm usually rather stoic about Monday mornings but today, I'm not at all happy I have to be here at work.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

There's still major construction going on right here in the office.
But I'm going to see Anvil Laveen tomorrow night, so I just go to my little happy place and think about that when the hammers and buzzsaws start.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 25 July 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

I also am not happy about having to be here at work... there are so many other things to do!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

like what?

― stelf)xxxx, Monday, 25 July 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

What if every TITWISer around the world simutaneous got up from their desks and walked away? We could build a new society, based on kitty cats, boobs and "Lasso the Moon".

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 25 July 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

Like anything! I could go to the beach, I could still be asleep, I could me meditating, masturbating, reading a book, taking a walk, playing a guitar (okay, so I'd have to know how to play, first), I could be swimming or sunbathing or driving up the coast, watching a movie, watching a dirty movie, having sex (okay, again, I'd have to have a partner), taking photographs, eating a burger, walking the dog, baking a peach cobbler... hell, anything.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

i love burgers, peach cobbler, movies and can't play guitar, either

― stelf)xxx, Monday, 25 July 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

Then why do you question me?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

curiosity... i'd fill the time with crawling under my bed and hiding at the moment.

― stelf)xxxx, Monday, 25 July 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

See? Even that's superior to being at work.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

My sister just called me on my cellphone from Paris and was upset that I couldn't talk to her. B-but it's Monday morning and I'm at work! Also, it was a bad connection. So I heard every single thing I said repeated back to me.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I'd settle for some sunscreen, a book, and a chair in the sun, and maybe clothes so as to avoid getting arrested.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

We let our cats, and one of our neighbor's cats (who we are cat sitting) down into our little 'back yard' concrete paved patio area on Saturday for the first time ever. There was sun, butterflies, plants, and a plethora of smells. I think it was their best weekend of this year.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

gosh, luna. you horny or something?
hmmmm work...

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

i ate a Snickers today :(

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

I'm trying to give up sugar and it's making my libido skyrocket. I don't see the correlation, but my god. Like worse than usual. Like if normal is 20, I'm at 75.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm, I wonder if that works vice versa. I gotta get me a Three Musketeers.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

I really don't see how it could possibly be related, but that's the only thing I've changed!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

My sugar consumption is almost entirely in fruit or liquor. Perhaps this explains my perennial randiness.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

randiness. i like that.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

How's things, dahlin?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to put ice cubes down my pants and see if that helps.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

not so bad, thanks. i think i smell tho. it's this shirt. it has bad odours hidden deep within. i should bin it, but i keep forgetting. grrrr...
how's tricks for you?

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Good. Good weekend. I've been half-way sick for most of the summer and I think I'm getting better now. If you need to take off your shirt, dahlin, you won't hear any complaints from me.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Also, luna dear, shall I just pop down to the liquor store for a bag of ice?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Yes please. And hurry.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

So I heard every single thing I said repeated back to me.

It's funny how in the age of better reception, this still happens. More than anything else, what bugs me is the way it makes me self-conscious. Do I really sound that stupid? God, what a disagreeable voice, etc...

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

ice is too stimulating. you need... er... an old folks home
i shall keep my shirt on for the moment, as i am at work. plus, my bra is very unexciting today.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

I'm drinking a Coke! I never do that!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

That wouldn't work either as um, there was this one uh, summer in high school when I um, well we were volunteering and there was this guy and the laundry room and uh... well, yeah. It wouldn't work.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Why, Sarah? I generally don't like soft drinks and especially not Coke but every once in a while, out of the blue, I'll get a craving for one.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

hmm. i had decided to give up sugar starting today but considering the fact that last night & this morning were sort of "charged" i caved & ate a chocolate cookie.
maybe tomorrow.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

shocking luna, truly shocking
how about a tour of your friendly local sewage plant?
(i've actually been on one. fascinating...)
coke.. the elixir of life. mmmm

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I know... I'm appalled myself.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

i had a sewage tour in high school . . . i guess those are the kinds of field trips one goes on in a town of < 2,000

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

what can you do? when you're hott, you're hott

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

I toured one of the sewage facilities here in SF but I was scouting for a movie or a commercial. It wasn't gaggingly fetid but it didn't smell nice by any means.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

i think my uncle used to design sewage vats. now he restores furniture.
my dad used to design nuclear reactors. now he fixes radiotheraphy machines.
i used to design stories. now i fix them.
weird.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I used to drink soda all the time, but that was also when I was a Fatty FatFat. Now I usually only have Coke if I'm at the movies. But today I was just craving something bad and there wasn't any chocolate around, so... Now I'm crazy. I'm so easily affected by caffeine.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

I can't imagine you were ever really fattyfatfat, Sarah. You look like a strong gust might carry you away.

Now I usually only have Coke if I'm at the movies

My gf has remarked that I invariably say I hate popcorn, but I always manage to eat half of hers when we're at the movies.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

mmm popcorn.
i am a fattyfatfat! it's reassuring sometimes
most times it just sucks tho
i once gave up caffeine for an entire summer. then, the first coke i had, i was off the wall for 36 hours! scary stuff.

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

My caffeine is almost entirely delivered through espresso and the occasional dark chocolate. All the tea I drink is usually tisane and I don't drink soda hardly ever. I had a 'Rock Star' once (never again after learning about Michael Savage's connection) and I thought my head and chest were going to explode.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

Am I correct in assuming that you meant 'shouldn't'?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

am i correct in assuming you wear tightie whities?

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Hiya guys, my libido's been running pretty wild too lately, as you may have deduced from the flirting thread. Last weekend I thought I might get some friendly casual sex, but in the end I didn't, which in retrospect was probably a good thing. Why is it that lust erases all rational thinking, is it some sort of deficit in our brains?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Can't talk, busy masturbating...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

gack!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I'm not, really. Also, M - I didn't ignore your email, I replied, but the filters hate me again, I think.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

tuomas, you do seem a wild and crazy guy at the best of times...

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

I weighed 40 pounds more than I do now about 2.5 years ago. I bring this up alot, because it kind of amazes me.

Anyway, I want some dark chocolate.

I am a popcornaholic. I eat the dumb microwaved popcorn at work and I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have to get it when I go see a movie. I was shocked the first time I went with Nick's family to see something and his parents were the "what a ripoff! Can you BELIEVE some people fall for that?" and then I had to hear all the other moviegoers chomping popcorn the whole time... and smell it...and yeah. I thought I might flip out.

Nick usually says, "Um, get popcorn if you want it, but I don't need any," and then eats half of it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

it is insanely ridiculously expensive
but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

am i correct in assuming you wear tightie whities?

Are you asking me? Well, in an effort to seem a man of the people and in order to further my presidential career, I'm prepared to respond. No, I do not wear what you so endearingly call 'tightie whities'. I am, as I have stated elsewhere, a boxer or boxer-brief wearing man.

Nick usually says, "Um, get popcorn if you want it, but I don't need any," and then eats half of it.

I think this must be an X chromosome failing on our part.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

Dahlin, thanks!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

Boxer briefs are so fuckin' hot.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

I think this must be an X chromosome failing on our part.

I totally do it, too. I don't have any specific craving for popcorn (my parents were resolutely anti-concession, too), but if you set a tub in front of me, of course I'm going to eat it!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

I used weigh about 35 pounds more when I was younger, but I wouldn't have called myself fatty fatfat even then... The stupid thing is, even though I constantly criticize the Western beauty standards, and even though I'm generally attracted to chubbier girls, I myself wouldn't want to get chubby again (nor do I think chubby guys are hot). I hate my own mind for being so hypocrite, but I guess the said beauty standards lay so deep in our thinking that's it's extremely difficult to debunk them altogether.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

i love popcorn.
i love boxer briefs.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

i'm also probably about 25 pounds heavier than i was 6-8 years ago.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Tuomas, you're too harsh on yourself.

It's not just that I weigh more than I did ten years ago, it's that I'm fatter. I'm probably only ten pounds above what I used to weigh, but most of it is predictably on my belly (though some wags are wont to tell me it's in my head too). If I could just get the discipline to go to the gym more often, I could probably lose half of the weight and at least tone the rest.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 25 July 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

My heaviest was at 20 years of age - I was (does US-friendly sums) 191 pounds. This morning I was 176 pounds, which is acceptable.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 25 July 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

DYING.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 July 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

I'm about Mark's current weight (my heaviest ever) and I guess 5" shorter than him, at 5'7. A bit saggy in the face, but otherwise I can't really find any fat anywhere. This is among the small number of life's aspects that I don't let worry me...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 25 July 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Tuomas, you're too harsh on yourself.

Seconded. There's a world of difference between insight ("debunking") and singlehandedly rewiring your libido. As we've discussed elsewhere, imho you should be free to like what you like (consenting adults etc etc) without second-guessing the politics.

Unless there's some sort of guilt/shame dynamic involved that makes it all XTRA HOTT. That would be different.

Tuomas, since I don't really have a type, I can lust after chubby little maidens and tall, stick thin naiads, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to remain thin and lusting after plumper girls or vice versa, or lusting after whatever catches your fancy, for that matter and.

― Truckdrivin' Buddha (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh dear. You misunderstand things so fundamentally. Add "power" to that equation, and that's what sex *is*.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 00:45 (twenty years ago)

"Sex is a natural act," they say. Not anymore. Not unless you want sex like it is between boar and a sow. Sex between humans is hot or not hot dependiong on an incredibly complex social structure and a power structure, and we find each other attractive for reasons that have nothing to do with evolution, at least not evolution the way Darwin imagined.

I think Luna is insanely hot, for many of the reasons you all understand and for some that you do not.

What would I give
for just a few moments
What would I give
just to have you near
Tell me you would try

Oh I need you darling

Slip away
oh I need you so

You misspelled "pointedly."

I have here one pair of magic glasses that allow the wearer to perceive irony. You are welcome to borrow them.

Dude, talking about how cheesy I am and then citing Trent Reznor may be the irony of the goddamn month.

Eat me.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

fwiw, of course "like an animal" is the way I want it. the lure of "passion" is precisely its promise that those complex social and power structures can be short-circuited, if only temporarily, by a feeling that exists in some pure form beyond or outside their dominion.

naturally, this desire too is surdeterminé

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

No, no, I get it. Your picture was still ironic.

You can still eat me.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

In fact, please eat me. I haven't been eaten in so long. I don't care if it's ironic to you. Can I ironically come on your face? Funny, no?

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

I suspect Teh Trent may be more loaded for you than for me. No irony intended there, other than that our more recherché pleasures seem driven precisely by our frustration with the impossibility of getting outside of the constructed self, even through physical union with another.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

Yes. She is a chanteuse of sorts.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I had the exact same thought. I wonder if it was intentional.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Must have been.

Also, love love love that song. You know me too well.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

Wait... I know this song!

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

hahaha

I already have this on my hard drive. Just never listened to it.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

Nice!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

Also, that Feist pic is nowhere near as good as the Patti Smith pic. Not that it's bad or that she isn't pretty, but the photo itself doesn't say as much.

Feist photo = cute indie chick in her boyfriend's shirt.

Smith photo = cute but unmistakably masculine indie chick in her boyfriend's shirt, and a tie as well, and a hairstyle that frames her girlish but square-jawed face in a way that only serves to make her more boyish, and then playing off of all this androgyny her long, slender fingers. Those fingers make the photo what it is -- they are the drama of it. Without them, we would be looking at just another defiant tomboy. With them, they are a satatement about gender.

The Feist girl has her hands in her pockets. Just another girl.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:02 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand this thread anymore. I seriously just read the last 50 answers slowly, twice.

And I don't understand why the hell you're attempting to understand the thread.

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

Or why you're even on this thread to begin with.

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

Holy shit! Dee is drunk and antagonistic!

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

Don't let Dee bother you, John. I know she can be a hard-ass sometimes, but she just doesn't know you.

Now now. Stop crying.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm not drunk, nor am I antagonistic. I just won't take comments such as these lying down:

dee is sort of the jean teasdale of ilx.

Geez, thanks a bloody lot, Stratego.

Hey, I already called you a hard-ass earlier. What do you want?

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

I don't think you appreciate how classic Jean Teasdale is.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Let me see -- shall I either be viewed as an annoyingly banal and overcloying persona or a raging bitchperson? Gee, I syre don't know! I'm going to have to flip a coin!

(xpost)

Well, please tell me how "classic" this persona is supposed to be, because all I'm getting from the search results I had to run in order to get the reference is that she's "'an overweight woman in a small town who loves her cats and Patrick Swayze,' and is someone 'who thinks she has a sense of humor but has very pedestrian tastes and a very humdrum lifestyle.'" Which sounds like a FINE individual to be, I'm sure, but I'd rather slit my wrists than actually turn into someone such as that.

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 04:29 (twenty years ago)

Dee, you're fine. It's just that sometimes, we want to help you in ways you may not want to be helped.

I'm sorry, Dee. Really, I am. I never wanted to make you feel bad.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 07:29 (twenty years ago)

Hey Pink, I'm really sorry I didn't go up and say hello to you and James on Friday, I don't really know what's wrong with me--I suppose I assume that when I've only met people once before they're not going to remember me and awkward moments will follow--even though thinking logically about it now, that probably wouldn't have been the case! Most of the day I was either on the verge of crying or falling over drunk, and in between not thinking very well, as anyone in the car ride with me can attest when I referred to the Millennium Dome as the Eye among other things...anyway just wanted to say I regret not saying hello and hope you don't think me rude.

― sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:10 (twenty years ago)

And yeah, hm, maybe time for a new thread.

I am procrastinating everything today. Looking for a temp job while searching my mind for evidence that I'm really doing what I want and should do with my life isn't really working out.

― sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

Don't be silly, it was an emotional time & like I said on Marcello's thread, it wasn't the time to "try" & I don't have issues with anyone for it. The last thing I'd have wanted to do if I was amongst friends I knew well was to chat to people I didn't know. It was nice to meet people I hadn't met before, but considering I haven't attended any sort of fap for a year, it was unfortuante it was that one. Seriously, don't worry about it.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I probably should have made more of an effort, but the overwhleming feeling I had was me being a massive intrusion & it was almost as if I had to wait to be invited before i could join a conversation. God how lame is that? :-(

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:20 (twenty years ago)

Aw, Pink, I got shy with you too! A couple of times I hovered on the edge of a conversation but ended up wandering off to the loo or something. Damn sobriety! At least we got to say hello at the funeral.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:27 (twenty years ago)

See that's it, you know me online & not irl. I guess I can deal with that.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

What about a title taken from this?
Gloria
by Patti Smith
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
meltin' in a pot of thieves
wild card up my sleeve
thick heart of stone
my sins my own
they belong to me, me
people say "beware!"
but I don't care
the words are just
rules and regulations to me, me
I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
and I go to this here party and I just get bored
until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
ooh I'll put my spell on her
here she comes
walkin' down the street
here she comes
comin' through my door
here she comes
crawlin' up my stair
here she comes
waltzin' through the hall
in a pretty red dress
and oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
and then I hear this knockin' on my door
hear this knockin' on my door
and I look up into the big tower clock
and say, "oh my God here's midnight!"
and my baby is walkin' through the door
leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
and oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
and I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine
and I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
she whispered to me, she told me her name
and her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
and I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
counting the time, then you came to my room
and you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
and oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
and I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
and the tower bells chime, "ding dong" they chime
they're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine."

Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A,
Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria .

Or maybe something from Free Money?
Free Money
Every night before I go to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery,
Scoop the pearls up from the sea
Cash them in and buy you all the things you need.
Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.
I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad.
I take that money, buy you things you never had.
Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free.
I'll buy you a jet plane, baby,
Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
And take you through the stratosphere
And check out the planets there and then take you down
Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia, then cool, cold fields of snow
And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream.
When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money,
Free money, free money, free money, free money, free money, free money.
Every night before I go to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery.
Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.

Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
Baby, I know our troubles will be gone.
Oh, I know our troubles will be gone, goin' gone
If we dream, dream, dream for free.
And when we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
Let's dream it, we'll dream it for free, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money,
Free money, free money, free money, free.

Is it ok for me to ever talk about sex? I feel like since I'm not single, it might just gross people out, but that's not fair, is it? Monogamy is cool too, right?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Well I think so Sarah.

Today fucking sucks so much.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

Why would you gross people out? Because you're actually getting sex? I think we can handle it. ;)

what's up, pink?

― juliaaa, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

― Truckdrivin' Buddha (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

part of my low yesterday was the swirling thought that i really don't know what i'm doing with my life . . . and the fact that one of the things i might want to do is probably entirely too selfish & i ought to be "giving back" more. i think this somehow ties into some things that were posted upthread.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

I think there's something in the air today. A coworker just walked by my desk saying, "OH my god! I'm totally going to kill someone today! I really am!" and then glanced over at me and said, "But not you , Sarah. Not to worry."

I'm doing fine. I just feel sort of restless and bored in general. I guess that's better than hitting a low though. I just wish I knew what to do with this sudden burst of energy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

Hi dudes,

I'm probably feeling better than most of you, and I may at some point later be able to make one of you feel better, mm yeah baybee, I'm gonna make you feel so good... ahem. But enormous sympathies to all y'all - I'm pretty sure I can identify with each and every one of your sadnesses.

I wonder how I can cheer you up? It's a tricky one. I love you all, of course, but you knew that.
