i don't want to type about it.

does one suddenly become too old to form a crush? or do they happen forever and ever.

― umm.whats.her.face, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

har! he works with me! I think it's true love! swoon.
just kidding, i barely know him.

― umm.whats.her.face, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

My current 'crushes', although I define them slightly different form THE HUSBAND LIST! However the Husband List must come in units of five and unfortunately I only have two at the moment, they ARE:

1. John Simm as a chinless pleeceman in the 70s, I love his little screwed up face!
2. Simon Pegg as a chinless pleeceman in the 00s, I love his little screwed up face!

As you can note, there is a theme. SUGGEST MORE PLEASE. Robert Lippok was suggested yesterday but I can't have an ex member of To Roccoco Rot on my Husband List for goodness sake now.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

Crushes are rubbish. They should be banned. They are a waste of time and energy. I vote "dud".

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:58 (eighteen years ago)

I am aware this is sort of strange.

My real ACTUAL TV Husband is over and above this list though and it is Logan Echolls on Veronica Mars, I love him, I love him, I love him I do.

David Tennants is not on the Husband List but Dr. Who [i]is[/is]. Wouldja go figger?

Life is better with crushes, and worse! "What torments you've thrust me into all over again....Torments that I wouldn't exchange for all the greatest joys" and so on.

Also useful for giving you a reason to get dressed and come to work in the morning.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

these days crushes are just on celebrities I see cute photos of and usually fade in a day or two. I don't develop all-consuming crushes on real people anymore.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

I have ordered "Lego Star Wars 2" for my GameCube so Lego Han Solo might be on the Husband List soon if the game is any cop.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

Kinda crushing on new gf at the mo. I haven't cared about anyone like this for so long, it's really weird. And horribly cliched - the feeling of wanting to skip through meadows and proclaiming how wonderful everything is grates horribly against my natural cynical instinct. I'm sure it'll fade soon.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

J'en ai toujours au moins un petit béguin pour une demoiselle ou une autre.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

Surely real people aren't allowed to be crushes - how would anybody get anything done? You must try harder Johnney B. What about the lady pleeceman from Life On Mars? Don't worry, we won't tell yr gf.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

hmmm... lego han solo!

the right crush on the right person is just magic (but it fades). bleh.

― umm.whats.her.face, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

Go away. The whole point of a crush is that it is on someone you don't actually have.

Actually, I've decided that what is rubbish is *not* having a crush. Everything seems better when you have a crush. But when you've not got one, the world seems grey.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

Police OFFICER!

Haha I have no chance with beardless chinless Pegg at this rate.

Michael White said "petit big 'un".

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

i can't think of anyone really crushable on my TV these days.

― blueski, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

celebrities are dumb

― umm.whats.her.face, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

This is why I should do you that dvd of Veronica Mars if I ever figure out "compression". Or you should just buy it. I'd probably crush on Veronica (I think I DO a little bit, but mostly I just like her huge bags full of photographic equipment).

HAHA maybe I should add Keith Mars to the list, but he is more one for the I Wish He Was My Dad List.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, someone I don't actually HAVE? Oh well, J0@nn@ N3ws0m (still). But crushes on people you don't have are rubbish, esp. if they're people you see every day. I don't like being controlled by my subconscious that much. But this is an old ILXrgument, I'm sure.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:09 (eighteen years ago)

I kinda had a crush going on Julian Barratt for a while, but it unfortunately seems to have faded, mainly due to lack of exposure. Crushes on musicians are better, because you can listen to them all the time. With persons off the telly, you actually have to watch them.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:12 (eighteen years ago)

Thank you, Dom, for making a perfectly diverting thread non-work safe.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:12 (eighteen years ago)

I had a bit of a crush on a dude on the bus for about two minutes. From behind, I thought he looked like Jake Gyllenhaal. But then when he turned around, he didn't. :(

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

i love the feeling of pure glee that comes along with it.
it intrigues me a lot, but it feels so sappy and clichéd.
i too feel like skipping in the meadow or something...

― umm.whats.her.face, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:15 (eighteen years ago)

I have a crush on either Keef or Stet, whoever invented the magical thing that turns pictures off so I am blissfully safe from whatever, I'm sure, very attractive picture Dom posted.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:15 (eighteen years ago)

Oh please, we've all had crutches on Keef since like 1998.

I am never without a good crush. It passes the time. Although I do think somehow that it was more acceptable when I was 19 than it is now that I'm 36.

You and me both, lady.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

My problem with crushes is that I spent nearly the first 20 years of life taking pains to conceal all signs of liking anyone, ever, and then found myself unable to make any of the silly & coy but mutually understood gestures that '80s teen movies would have one believe were the norm. So when I have a crush on someone and don't know what to do, I either ignore 'em hardcore or turn even more brusque than usual. It's embarrassing but fortunately there's alcohol.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

I used to be like that, Laurel, but now I flirt with everyone, so I flirt with my crushes safe in the knowledge that I can always claim to flirt with anyone and if they so desire, they can flirt back.

béguin

Really? I have been reading about béguines, who were sort of amateur nuns in medieval France. Nuns without the vows. Do the words relate, I wonder?

Anyway, crushes are dud dud dud. I mean they're better than the Iraq war but worse than finding a hair in your pizza.

Yesterday some absurdly hot hottie came and sat directly across from me in the computer lab and my brain shut down and I couldn't focus and, after a few attempts at getting further work done, I had to leave. Screw that noise.

― Casuistry, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

thread title otm. Crushes are either awesome or wahtttttt???!!!

― kenan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

Anyway, crushes are dud dud dud.

shockah. Anyway, know that any of your opinions are forever tainted by the fact that you prefer cuddling to fucking. You are officially weird.

― kenan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

and if kenan declares a person weird, it is definitely official.

I was going to add that my views on the topic are well known around here and so my posting that was perhaps redundant. But I also thought that posting the fact that my views were well known was also obvious. And I didn't manage to vent about yesterdays' hottie to anyone yet, so why not here?

― Casuistry, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

Crushes are classic if they stay as just crushes.

― jel --, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

yeah jel is probably otm

béguines.

Béguin in the sense of avoir un béguin pour qqn apparently comes from the verb béguiner.

The béguines were nuns without the vows and the very lack of vows was a testament to their piety. The verb meant to act like a very pious person and eventually, by extension, the expression [avoir un béguin pour qqn came to mean to be single minded and then especially in relation to always having someone (or something) on one's mind, so yes, Chris, they are apparently related, though I hadn't known till you pointed it out.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

The béguines were nuns without the vows and the very lack of vows was a testament to their piety.

That's not what my sources suggest! Since the béguinage didn't require vows, you could leave any time. This made it (at least in the view of the "men of letters" of the time, c. 1300) a bit suspicious -- women were only half-cloistered, after all, and it was almost a way of them to sidestep social structures. So it was seen as sort of conveeeeeenient that women be religious for a while until something presumably better came along.

But a crush is a sort of amateur, disposable devotion. Interesting.

[That dictionary site looks awesome, I am totally crushing on it.]

― Casuistry, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

This made it (at least in the view of the "men of letters" of the time, c. 1300) a bit suspicious -- women were only half-cloistered, after all, and it was almost a way of them to sidestep social structures.

However, eventually the béguines became seen as bigots (or paragons of piety), for whatever reason, (the suspicion of the 14th century may have given way to an admiration for women who stayed even if they didn't have to, I don't know) and to act like one was faire la béguine and eventually béguiner. Interestingly, there were béguins in medieval Belgium male equivalents to the ladies, but the present word for 'crush' only dates back to the 19th cent and derives from the verb, supposedly.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

I'm trying to think of an English equivalent. "I've got a major vestrywoman for that barista"?

― Casuistry, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Go up to the barista and tell her you'd join a monastery if the order worshipped her (and there were no vows of celibacy, obviously). Let me know how it all works out.

I still can't see Billy Kennedy in House without laffing, however I think I might have a crush on Dr Cameron - she has that whole seemingly cute and fragile yet actually strict and steely thing going on...

But, but those awful waistcoats! At this stage my crush on Hugh Laurie, which began when I saw him in Peter's Friends is beyond ridiculous.

I am enjoying the dictionary discussion.

I have crushes! They are not healthy ones though, one on a girlfriend of a wonderful bro who is not to be betrayed, one on roomy's (married) boss, and another on a doesn't-meet-half-plus-seven-rule youngster of a baristress at coffee shop around corner (how original).

There is a girl I was bros with back in high school who was always hot but I just didn't get it back then, I have seen her at the grocery every Monday for 3 weeks, I am afraid I am grocering on Mondays now just to see her. This however is likely just a crush of convenience and will pass with the clementine sale.

Ken, if it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing 2 weeks ago after a few too many straight scotches. I declared my crush to my crush. As a result, he turned up at the beach last weekend with a new girlfriend (and her 3 kids). No bigger turnoff than a just-add-water-family. :(

Now I have to find a new crush.

Oh man also there's another crush on a girl who came over and jammed last week w/ her trumpet and I wasn't sure how fair game she was because she came over with some dude who thinks there is something happening btween them only he has a girlfriend who's not her. We had wicked good jams and she said my spicy-sweet cornbread was the best conrbread she'd ever had.

ARGH

congrats louis! how far did it go?

― modestmickey, Monday, 12 March 2007 05:03 (eighteen years ago)

erm, as it was all for a dare there was no consummation, but i was manually stimulated in turn by the girl i pulled and a boy who was also in the room, who wanted to see my knob in a fully erect state. alas, i had drunk far too much to get it all the way up (it still beat HIS even at 90%) and the full glory was spared. there were 3 boys and 3 girls in the room, all 3 boys and 1 of the girls were fully naked, and the other 2 girls were only wearing knickers. the night ended (after the naked girl upped sticks and headed off) with a wanking contest, the 2 remaining girls (whose idea it was) watching intently as we strived to bring ourselves to climax. it took me about twice as long as anyone else, mostly through fear of being struck by another's jet, being as i was in the centre of the three. throughout, i was made up in lipstick, rouge and a headband, and when i had been wearing clothes it had been drag. one of those ordinary student nights, then...

Fagging in British English, is used (as a verb and a noun) to refer to a kind of apprenticeship practiced historically within public schools. Younger boys within the school "fagged" for the older boys (often prefects) by acting as an unpaid servant, performing menial tasks such as cleaning a sports kit.

Why gleefully wallow in one's own shameful produce? It makes a good story, I guess.

A little context: Our annual drag competition occurred last night (and there'll be a whole new slew of photos you're no doubt straining at the leash to ogle), and I, the lovely Diana Swirl, proceeded to come third out of about twenty-five, a sterling effort indeed. Participants were then paraded about the combination room (posh room for fellows/dons/tutors) where the more outrageously homosexual members of the Peterhouse teaching staff had assembled to appreciate and compliment alike (again, more photos coming soon). After that, back to the bar for a quick alcopop or five, and then off to the 2nd-place ladyboy's room for fun and games! At first, mere nudity and running about Old Court in the buff were the order of the day, but as more port disappeared down our gullets, an empty vodka bottle presented itself and before we knew it we were locked into a vigorous Truth Or Dare session. Truth grew rapidly dull, as is its wont, and upon my response to the question 'Have you ever pulled?', the young lady next to me was dared to rectify this sad state of affairs. One thing led to another, and a couple of minutes later she was tossing me off, my spongy love-length refusing to straighten out to its maximum rigidity despite the expertise with which she palpated its bulbous form. Then the 2nd-place ladyboy decided that he'd make a better fist of things, and thus was my first heterosexual experience pursued hardily by my first homosexual one...

What he wants is ATTENTION. He's getting it on a massive scale. Doesn't matter if it's good press or bad press, it's all the same as a fan club to him - read the article linked to. It makes sense. It's like he would be YouTubeing his own Paris Hilton style videos if he could, turning embarrassment in on itself.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

That was a x-post to Tombot, who thinks he's the only ILXer to have never posted narcissistic drool.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

"Narcissistic" is right. Also "tedious".

none of mine has been my graphic sex adventures. and when nick s. put his out there it didn't get reposted by half the populace. thank you very much.

I'm going to regret this but I suppose today on ILX has been one of OMG WTF is up with humanity. What is Nick S' story?

― kv_nol, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

The point of using ILX as a confessional is that I (almost) never see any of you guys, and therefore feel safe to spill here whatever wonderful, strange or otherwise remarkable eventualities have cropped up recently in my life. When something bizarre or amusing happens to ANY of you, you ALL post it here (aka the very fucking point of ILE). This is no different, but perhaps a little more extreme than many cases.

Tombot, why are you being such a cunt?

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

i don't need to read an article to know the internet is full of narcissistic people. world in being full of idiots shocker etc. i'm just saying that reposting a story like THAT seems like an even worse idea than anything either you or i have ever posted, and it's saying something! his real name is all over the boards--he should consider toning it down before he gets googled, is all.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

i'm glad that you think the rest of us have spectacularly boring lives, but this is so stunningly untrue that i don't even know what to do with it. seriously, dude, other ilxors have gotten themselves in REAL LIFE trouble doing what you're doing--chill out.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

Yeh, you're going to want to change your mind about that. These boards are incredibly long-lived so far, and that isn't changing. There's also about 10 times as many readers as posters, so they aren't that small either. And everyone knows your name. And knowing you, you're going to want to do something in the public eye later on, where explaining all this is going to be an unneeded pain in the ass arf arf.

― .stet., Monday, 12 March 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and I've kept it to one thread. I expected a few snarky comments, a bit of flaming, but the viral spread across ILX has been ENTIRELY down to your (pl.) vicarious enjoyment of the whole shebang.

Wow, the word 'shebang' takes on a whole new connotation now...

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:24 (eighteen years ago)

Ally, both you and I have seen the effects of what can happen when you let your personal life get out of control on this board. You live and you learn. There's vast swathes of ILX that I would erase off the database if I could, but I can't.

The linked article provides a different viewpoint on what drives the narcissistic fuckers.

Alls I'm saying is, the more attention you give LJ, the more of this sort of thing you're going to get from him.

OK Louis I am on the one computer I use that I have not (yet) installed killfile on so I am going to give you some very serious advice: DO NOT POST SHIT LIKE THAT ON THE INTERNET. IT IS THE INTERNET. ANYONE CAN FIND IT. THINK OF THIS FACT. unless of course you have no problem with any random person you know finding these tales, in which case um.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

oh for fuck's sake STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH ALL OF YOU
It's what you said, more or less. You think everyone posts all the details of their lives here. To think that, you must think their lives are pretty boring or mundane, to think you're seeing all of it. Few people post here in as explicit detail as you do.

― .stet., Monday, 12 March 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

lol xpost.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:29 (eighteen years ago)

Tombot, why are you being such a cunt?

I don't think he is being one at all. I'd say it's very irritating having this pop up everywhere but I am actually enjoying this for some reason, slow day at work perhaps or something a bit more "oh that was me a few years ago, thank goodness there was no internet for me to globally show what a tit I was being." Personally I think that you're a bit of a fool and that some day you will regret what you have posted on ILX more than you can ever imagine. Unfortunately being aware that one's actions have consequences is only something you will understand with a few more years. In this age of traceability you have guaranteed that in future someone (possibly even a relation) will find all of this and what you did as a young man will ruin something very important to you in future. That is all I have to say about it, I've said it to you before: Not all attention is good attention and negative attention is the worst of all.

LJ, I don't know you but I care as in it does worry me to see someone do something so stupid. Personally I'm getting back to the LOLz but I do think you should consider it. You're smart, use that big ol' brain and think next time before putting something so damning on the internet.

― kv_nol, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:29 (eighteen years ago)

― Administrator, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:31 (eighteen years ago)

what was originally quite a funny reaction (for the first 50-60 posts) has turned into a mean-spirited takedown of the so-called 'narcissistic fuckers' and the 'idiots' of the world, of which I'm plainly a founding member. I'd just like to say that you are acting like cunts. My posts were of the roll-eyes wow-that-was-stupid-but-kinda-funny-eh variety, now I'm some sort of monster who seeks to spread his network of egomania across the internet (read: one thread on a messageboard) and pollute the minds of all and sundry.

Ally's advice is probably sound, however, so I'll stop. Only this, however: Nobody would have been able to find this thread unless it had my name sprinkled all over it. You were the ones that did this. Not me.

My point about everyone posting details of their lives here was an EXAGGERATION, granted, but I don't for a second mean to suggest that everyone here leads a dull life, I know for a fact that most of you don't!

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:32 (eighteen years ago)

These are the paragraphs I wanted to highlight:

It’s hard to pinpoint when the change began. Was it 1992, the first season of The Real World? (Or maybe the third season, when cast members began to play to the cameras? Or the seventh, at which point the seven strangers were so media-savvy there was little difference between their being totally self-conscious and utterly unself-conscious?) Or you could peg the true beginning as that primal national drama of the Paris Hilton sex tape, those strange weeks in 2004 when what initially struck me as a genuine and indelible humiliation—the kind of thing that lost former Miss America Vanessa Williams her crown twenty years earlier—transformed, in a matter of days, from a shocker into no big deal, and then into just another piece of publicity, and then into a kind of power.

But maybe it’s a cheap shot to talk about reality television and Paris Hilton. Because what we’re discussing is something more radical if only because it is more ordinary: the fact that we are in the sticky center of a vast psychological experiment, one that’s only just begun to show results. More young people are putting more personal information out in public than any older person ever would—and yet they seem mysteriously healthy and normal, save for an entirely different definition of privacy. From their perspective, it’s the extreme caution of the earlier generation that’s the narcissistic thing. Or, as Kitty put it to me, “Why not? What’s the worst that’s going to happen? Twenty years down the road, someone’s gonna find your picture? Just make sure it’s a great picture.”

And after all, there is another way to look at this shift. Younger people, one could point out, are the only ones for whom it seems to have sunk in that the idea of a truly private life is already an illusion. Every street in New York has a surveillance camera. Each time you swipe your debit card at Duane Reade or use your MetroCard, that transaction is tracked. Your employer owns your e-mails. The NSA owns your phone calls. Your life is being lived in public whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

I mean, as someone who has had their internet honesty come back and bite them in some horrible ways, I don't necessarily agree with this. But it is very much an opinion that is out there.

You will be. At some point, you will be. Trust me.

Or worse, yet, if you can get this through your adolescent brain, at some point you may be attempting to *date* someone who does.

A couple of years ago, I went through a horrific breakup, and posted every gorey bloody detail on ILX, as a way of getting it out. Fast forward a couple of months, the first guy I meet who shows a romantic interest in me is someone I meet through ILX. On our first date, he asks (nice guy, mind you, to ASK) if he can google me. Up comes all of that awful horrible shit. He runs a mile. Bye-bye goes relationship.

You might not be thinking of that sort of thing now, but imagine you meet the love of your life - or even just a nice filly you'd like to date - and through a couple of clicks she comes up with the story of you trying to lose your hetero and homo sexual virginity on a dare at a drunken college party? Bye-bye relationship.

I was the first person to ever make that joke on ILX! Except that Dom was the target, obviously.

Seriously, though, this was all intended as a bit of drunken-fun shame-confessional distraction. Those who laughed, mocked, and entered into the uproarious spirit got the idea. Those who theorised about narcissism and idiocy may have had a separate point, but it wasn't what my post warranted. What I was doing wasn't narcissism, it was self-flagellating 'I KONFESS ;_;'-style amusement.

That reads like gloating, it's not (really) it's more: Learn that the submit button is not always your friend. Pause for 10 seconds and if it still seems like a good idea press it. Remember that it's always going to be there so be cautious before you reveal anything else.

Sure, except for the part where most of ILX is made of people who either can still KIT under the influence, or are canny enough not to post things that are more than a little bit risque or embarrassing. You may laugh at that claim, but if it weren't true LJ wouldn't stand out so much in the first place.

Also, I demand my right to make durnk posts and poss regret them later.

― Laurel, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

After that story, do lots of ILX girls now have a crush on Louis?

(just trying to turn this into a crush thread again)

― StanM, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

I'm with Laurel on that subject. ILX would be far less amusing if there weren't the occasional drunk posts.

― Michael White, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

drunken posts=of course

drunken posts about cross dressing and whacking=no

― Mr. Que, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

Con: a crush thread is ruined.
Pro: a drunk thread is spared.

― nickalicious, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)

i don't necessarily object to either of wanking or drag! i do object to LJ's prose style, however. that's just embarrassing for everyone.

― elmo argonaut, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)

It is not the posting that is a problem, I have met the guy and he is a decent chap but anyone with half a brain, and without balls full of zings is thinking.

Dude, do you or any other of the people involved really want that out on the internet.

Maybe it is a generation gap thing but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

No, I am only a year or two older than him and I wouldn't want it out there either.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:31 (eighteen years ago)

It never stopped me from regaling y'all with a story of a cat playing tetherball with my nads.

― Michael White, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

your cat is not likely to have an opinion about that.

Maybe we are being a bit over protective and patronising of young Louis., he certainly doesn't deserve the levels of abuse he gets from some quarters, and quite frankly we have given him fair warning, so he can post what the fuck he likes but maybe a little warning for us prudes would be in order.

― Ed, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

If LJ was funny, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

louis jagger should get a livejournal

― 597, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

think people are over-reacting over louis once again.

i can think of at least one or two other ILXors who have given more explicit anecdotes over the years - and using their real names too, without other people doing so.

― blueski, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:29 (eighteen years ago)

I know what you mean, but there have never been such explicit stories involving a 20-year old virgin who has pretty much gone around with a large sign saying "LOOK AT ME!" to the extent he's posted about the aforementioned incident on the night it happened.

More importantly, this is the only time I can think of when the original poster will be hugely ashamed of this being on the internet sooner rather than later.

Really, what Louis has to do now is forget whatever he was planning to do and focus wholeheartedly on a career when such formative experiences are expected and desirable. Like becoming the next generation's Steven Fry or something.

Ronan: mean seriously you're on some Dickensian bumbling oaf shit when you get drunk if you think people are going all clap their hands in delight and go "oh my dear fellow you cad" or maybe at worst venture a "good heavens ; )"

Give it time, Ned hasn't posted here yet...

― Matt DC, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:50 (eighteen years ago)

this story is not shocking really, it's just tawdry and dumb and the retelling makes it seem as though the whole thing was meant as a performance to talk about later, i agree, if lj was funny this would be different but he is no evelyn waugh is he, he is just an annoying but probably pleasant enough boy trying to make a splash on the internet (and not on the chap sitting next to him). some of the criticism and warnings about how he has ruined his future seem a bit homophobic. i cheered when the naked girl upped sticks, she was clearly the brains of the outfit.

― estela, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:53 (eighteen years ago)

Dude if you're really lucky there'll be a serial killer called L0u1s J4gger in the next few years and then no one will pay the blindest bit of attention to anything they read about you on the internet. Of course you'd have to change your name by deed poll but you'll probably need to do that anyway.

― Matt DC, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:56 (eighteen years ago)

lol

― ^@^, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:57 (eighteen years ago)

louis gets really excited about things in a very sincere way.

just look at the way he talks about music.

look at how he relishes in jessie's disdain for him.

so when you're someone who's 20 years old and wasted and have never kissed a girl or had sex or whatever and then you go and have a night like he had, well this is what happens.

just think, we still have his de-flowering to look forward to.

How is this board so poorly equipped to deal with one goofy-ass 20-year-old

― A B C, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 04:02 (eighteen years ago)

dear lj –

until this point we have had no interaction. no beef, no amor. but i must tell you, and i mean no disrespect, i have some poignant words for you. stop posting the personal shit. it'll come back and bite you in the ass. more than anybody else on the board i can attest to that fact. if you're like i was, you might say 'hell, i've nothing to hide' - but you're wrong. just because you're ostensibly honest and trusting doesn't mean that anybody who reads your private airings will feel compelled to respond with the same honor, the same trust. as direct as the line was from your private cogitation, viz. 'i'll tell 'em what strange crap i got up to this weekend' to the act of opening a browser window, firing up ILX, plicking the keyboard a bit, whacking the submit response button and then reloading the page – that's how easy the same line of action will be for somebody whose initial cogitation is something along the of 'i kinda feel like fucking with louis jagger.' and lord knows there's enough jerkoffs around here that'll do that kinda thing. be careful kid, don't give 'em the opportunity. i hate to say something like 'you're asking for it' but speaking personally re. a rather infamous ILX experience of two years ago i can't say you're not.

Oh yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. *sigh*

Much as Ed and Gr4dy would be most excellent floating heads of conscience, I'm kinda with Enr1que on this. :-D

And cheers Remy for some honest, forthright advice that doesn't resort to abuse (unlike a few people upthread who have hopefully now stopped reading).

― unfished business, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know about g-symbol-y, but Ed's hair alone would make him worth having as a floating head of conscience. Plus he is hi-viz, so you would always be able to find the lock on your front door, even in the dark. I recommend him.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:14 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, N1ck, of course it was a huge fuss over nothing. I was merely answering M1ckey's question of how far it went. The rest was down to OMG LOL WTF ILXors. I can't be blamed for being excited enough to chronicle my first pull, although I may have erred in recording its circumstances.

The worst thing done here is the use of my name without Googleproofing. GRRRR.

No. The worst thing is your denial.

i do wonder about how future politicians etc will get round this kind of thing because even if they don't deliberately post revealing things about their sex/drugs lives on the internets, it'll be much harder to keep stuff on the down-low. that said, the circles tonly blairs was moving in in the early 70s -- i guess there's a kind of islington omerta thing going on. political hacks just keep quiet about things in the uk, though how long for i don't know. recently with the shocking revelation that an oxford student smoked pot the columnists were all 'yeah-yeah, no-one cares'. the hell they don't!

What I thnk is weird/slightly uncouth perhaps is not what you did, but how you chose to tell everyone. You said Mickey asked you so you told him. Did you really have to go into all that detail? Could you not just have said "yeah I met this girl and blokes and on a dare we.. heh heh... got up to some crazy shit".

If someone at work asks you what you got up to with your ladtfriend on the weekend are you going to go into gynaecological detail about the heavenly visage of the folds of her womanly flower?
