Whoa!

I take it you've met him outside the Internet too?

I once was on a date with a girl who told me that some guy had flewn to from the US to Paris just to meet her, although they'd only exchanged messages on OKCupid before that. Dude must've been pretty desperate, or at least with a lot of extra cash.

An IM Infatuation Turned to Romance. Then the Truth Came Out.

She's moving to Oakland, guys = True love ;)

oh yah if it doesnt work out in oakland im right across the bridge baby! oaktown is grosstown!

chaki all rollin up on girls with foreign accents just telling them "gross!" and having a nonzero success rate

I'm sorry, but LOLOL

You haven't actually met him in real life? Horror stories aside, wouldn't it be much better to meet him at least once before moving to the other side of the planet? I mean, you surely know what to do with your own life, but I don't think I could ever do anything like that.

(several x-posts)

Why would you think she'd be better off listening to you? After all, you're just some stranger on the internet.

Horror stories aside, wouldn't it be much better to meet him at least once before moving to the other side of the planet?

Not if you have a hankering to see the other side of the planet anyway. I mean, it's not like she's breaking up a long-term existing relationship to go across the world. If it doesn't work out, fuck it, she'll move on.

Not that you can't speak for yourself, Rubyredd.

Ruby, you have opened me up for all manner of zing with the vagina comment but that's okay. I forgive you.

But on the other thread you said you play in a rock band... And you hate Jaco Pastorius. :( What's a "noob"?

c: Is honest about when he doesn't know something!
d: beard

A noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense, most people think that noob is a word used only in the online gaming world, but in reality it is becoming an ever popular word with teenage society.
a noob could be simply a level 100 running round shouting ''WTF DO I GO!?'' or someone calling someone else a noob and then getting hit with a brick, anyone can call anyone a noob, but normally they are noobs themselves

*gets shot with chaingun*

"this game is no good, you all suck noobish balls you stupid noobs!*

Abbott gets a free pass on posting to ILX a lot: I love New Mexico and all, but the Enchantment comes with a decent amount of free time.

(agh, xpost to nabisco)

This thread moves too fast.

I remember when I first met this student pal of mine, and he said he plays the bass, and I was like "Wow, really?" because I'd been just listening to stuff like Mingus and Stanley Clarke, and then I asked what band he plays in, and he replied, "Children of Bodom". I had to hold my tongue not to say my opinion on that band, because the guy was really nice and friendly.

good story

Just to make it more clear, Children of Bodom is a local death metal band. Or something like that, I'm not too familiar with metal subgenres.

they kind of kick major ass

playing in a death metal band is like the golf of scandinavia

or it will be in ten years or so

Dude, Bodom hoodies are at the mall here. Pretty well-known in those circles.

The Finnish foreign exchange student at my high school was a complete snob about the pronunciation of Bodom. If someone said it "boh-dum" she would go on this huge soapbox about Lake Bodom and how can you be so stupid that you don't know about it, etc etc etc for at least five minutes.

"local"

xpost, I'd be pretty pissed if I had to move to middle America

Just to make it more clear, Children of Bodom is a local death metal band. Or something like that, I'm not too familiar with metal subgenres.

"local"?

xpost

She was very, very funny about it. "I'm not allowed to wear a see-through shirt to school? What the hell is this country! In Finland, we get all our food for free and bus rides, too. And we actually think!" It was kind of awesome.

stfinnsu

i'm assuming that was after you explained what food and buses were to her

I'm not if all the Finns can pronounce "Bodom" properly either, it's a Swedish name and should be pronounced boo-dom, but I've often heard people say it boh-dom, the Finnish way. There was a very famous murder case in the sixties that happened at Lake Bodom, which is why the band chose that name I assume, but I don't see why your exchange student thought Americans should know about that.

I know! She was hilarious because she was so vituperous about fucking EVERYTHING. "These trees are so ugly here! I hate the sounds of your filthy American birds!"

Did you also explain that she paid 50% taxes? Or did they not teach that in Finland?

We don't get free bus rides here! Free lunch in schools yes, but no free bus rides.

golf is the golf of scandinavia

Tuomas, because I hate Jaco Pas-bore-ius and play in a rock band means I only play rock music? I see you only deal in rock solid logic, pal.

ZING

Actually, I think I'm wrong, you do get free bus tickets if your school is more than three kilometers away or something. But I've always lived in the city where the school is within walking distance, so there were no free rides for me.

+ Endless <3, endless musical enthusiasm in areas I enjoy
- Would end in tears, wine and being discovered sleeping in the garden by his kids

loooool that'd have been better if you hadn't made a 2nd post

+ lives nearby, enjoys all the best things in life (music, cricket, football), enjoys a drink
- i'd have to live up to a string of ridiculously hot women incl. an american popstar ffs

why does this thread exist?

+ she seems very cool (especially when mocking this thread)
- probably in a relationship already and I don't wanna move away from Portland at the moment

amusement iirc

xpost

nate carson clearly does not read ilx

+ we seem to go to a lot of same shows and probably have quite a few mutual friends & acquaintances
- even though I'm single, I'm pretty happy living in Oakland, even though I'm hearing a lot of good things about Portland right now

why does this thread exist?

Because Chaki was a shit stirring little bugger is why.

He also was the mastermind behind that ILX secret crush thread, right?

(To be fair - little to no shit was stirred on this thread)

now i feel like kinda a bad sport because my first post didn't follow the rules of the thread.

I thought this thread was just innocent fun, Chaki wasn't "shit stirrer" all the time.

Thats true E, it was quite the nice suprise tbh.

c: nice
d: FAKE

Ha! I read ILX. I just don't stalk on ILX.

dude, it does not take a stalker to know something that's been very widely discussed!

Widely = on two threads, one of which is on a secret board and the other one on ILTMI.

Well I mostly read ILM and don't have a lot of time to lurk over here unless it's a thread about Portland or some movie I just saw...

No offense Sarahel! I'm sure your personal life is fascinating ;)

+ pretty, cool, smart and fun
- is clearly a stalker

xxpost to tza

lol!

(hahahahahaha)

xp - Nate - got your message - done - 15

Ok did a little research. Sarahel is roughly the same age as me and into Magma and that's definitely hott!

we can be fb friends now.

+ Seems like a thoughtful and caring person.
- Dating most likely isn't an option right now.

Not to keep breaking the rule here but now that I figured out who Sarah is in real life, I found a brief email correspondence that we had back in April 2006. Incredibly shrinking universe :)

Nate - I figured that if you weren't fb friends with Ge0rge Chen I'd be shocked.

All of our mutual friends are scenesters.

It would be funny to do an ilx thread about how Ge0rge knows everyone.

Another thread bites the dust.

http://www.google.com/talk/

one reason why dating Ge0rge Chen would rule and one reason it would suck

+ knows about most everything that's going on and who random obscure bands are
- unhealthy diet

+ likes wordplay
- forced me to rewrite this twice because of xposts; probably dating someone

xpost to Sarahel - I'm giving this another show, now that I've been informed.

+ is a music scenester and into lots of obscure shit (like me)
- is a dirty thread hijacker, who will stop at nothing to ruin my sterling reputation

+ has sterling reputation
- sterling reputation constantly under threat of ruin

+understands ilx addiction
-unsure of what we'd have in common

[ronan i have read your blog for years and we like a lot of the same music ACTUALLY and TBH]

[this poster doesnt count - consider ronan the last poster]

oh well that's good, the minus part is quite awkward to be honest, i should have just said "long distance" like everyone else, haha

+good to go dancing with prolly
-from dublin

+ interesting, fun, likes things i like, lives on a farm iirc????
- gay

+would probably be fun to cook with
-doesn't like anything

(Srsly the only even semi-suck thing I could think of. No big!)
