No.

Telling me to read the book so I can find out if you are right or wrong about whetehr I should read the book is a purely misguided argument. You are the one who has taken it upon yourself to convince me that I should read this book. Therefore I am leaving it up to you to explain to me in greater detail what it is that is so good about this book, so that I might overcome my disbelief.

What you have to say about it so far is singularly uncompelling.

wait actually i think they're all my favorites.

the dentist's nurse correctly guessed my star sign recently, claiming she has a gift, but my file was up on the computer screen in the surgery when she did it and she was standing next to it, behind me, when she was talking about it so i was extremely skeptical, though i faked some awe because i felt sad for her.

when i arrived she had said, 'how's bub?' and when i said calmly, 'i don't have any children' she went into huge these long profuse apologies and ended up saying it was probably for the best and that children are completely overrated, she betrayed her own children just to make me feel better when i was quite peaceful about the whole thing anyway, i told i think children are very nice and in the end i let a small shadow cross my face so she would change the subject, which she did, to astrology.

Apparently, 75% of office workers have a "workplace spouse" - a fellow employee that you have an intense relationship with due to the fact that you spend most of your working week together, and whom you would try to protect to ensure that they remain close to you and in the relationship. And I presume the gender that you're attracted to.

I think I have one of these workplace spouses and our relationship has been getting weirder in recent times to the point of outright flirting.

Hi. I've tried to clean up my act, and in spite of the occasional grievous error (which I've profusely apologised for) such as JFC.jpg, I think I'm largely succeeding. Whether this is a sign of belated maturity or a reaction to the sword of Damocles imminently pendant over my very ILX existence remains to be seen; I'd rather hope to think it's the former, but if SB has had a positive effect, it HAS been to impress the value of thinking before posting with somewhat more assiduousness than I'd been exercising beforehand. 3 SBs gained in the past 4 months (at last count; can this please be updated in case I've caused any significant offence in the past few days), as opposed to 90 in the previous half-year, bears testament to this. I'm seriously trying to stave off the remaining nine, even indefinitely, if I can.

Anyhow, enough of the self promotion. I've been banned from 77 since before my temp ban, following an offence that although serious (reposting a non-77 user to 77) I think I've served enough time for. I maintain I was made something of an example of, and also maintain that my offence was borne out of stupidity rather than malice, stupidity which I am slowly weaning out of my system. This sort of self-analysis can come over a bit jerkish so I won't press my case any further, but it'd be cool if you could let me back onto 77 kthx :)

for a facebook status. (i attributed it to "anonymous friend")

i found the right girl btw - after a whole load of wrong girls. estela even more otm than it seemed

Sometimes I read this thread, and I imagine estela is the parsley and everyone else is the sesame cracker, flattening her under the weight of expectation.

haha awesome trayce

i was in a store and a man dropped a big jar of candy and looked mortified and said, how embarrassing, so i said kindly, it's all right, we'll all forget about it in the end, and he smiled gratefully at me, but then i said, unless we keep talking about it because then it will get seared into our memories and we'll all think of it every time we come into this store for the rest of our lives, and then he looked angry.

underrated post

one christmas my youngest brother was complaining about how people ridiculed country music even though some of it was very good and then a couple of days later someone gave him a cmt cap and then the next day we were driving to town and in the car i asked him sternly why he wasn't wearing it and he said he didn't feel like it so i called him the coward of the county.

"i'm guessing you don't have kids" is def one of the most annoying things parents say to non-parents, esp in that superior tone it usually comes in

damn right i don't and there's a reason for that. i don't like them or being around them. i'm not going to be overtly displeased with kids in bars (well, kid-friendly bars, some bars would be just wrong) but i reserve the right to prefer them elsewhere and bitch about it privately afterwards. i don't think "enjoying the company of strangers' kids" should be a general expectation. i don't like the company of obnoxious adults either and pick the places i socialise to avoid them where possible and basically 90% of kids have the same effect.

kids that i actually know are slightly easier to tolerate, i guess.

call me a ho saver, i don't even care.

estela is the poster about whom I sometimes wonder 'would she have posted that?' after one of my more emotionally wrought or indulgent outpourings. she is the finest corrective ILX has had to offer

I feel sure that it would be an estela-approved sentiment to state that you should consider asking it beforehand anymore

Earliness is a form of unpunctuality. I hate early people, especially if they come to my house before a designated time. Also, if I'm late and they're being all indignant about waiting, a big part of the waiting time they're being indignant about is the period of time they were at the meeting place before they should have been.
(I'm never mad if people are late, I always give them the benefit of the doubt.)

My favourite teacher at my primary school, Brownhill St Saviours C of E, ran a group called Crossbearers. Given that it involved not even the slightest religious overtones and much frolicking it wasn't until years later I realised it wasn't anything to do with bears at all. I know none of this is technically a pun. The teacher later turned out to be a paedophile.

kurt godel also a restricted diet

Gödel subsisted on a valetudinarian’s diet of butter, baby food, and laxatives.........He had an obsessive fear of being poisoned; he would eat only food that his wife, Adele, prepared for him. Late in 1977, she was hospitalized for six months and could no longer prepare her husband's food. In her absence, he refused to eat, eventually starving to death.[19] He weighed 65 pounds (approximately 30 kg) when he died.

RIP Tom Petty

years ago in orlando i was driving down a long hot dreary road when i realised tom petty was the front seat passenger in the car behind me, looking very relaxed and cheerful. they were behind me for a few miles (quite slow miles because i was new to driving and a complete ilx-style duffer at it and i was petrified of making a mistake and harming tom petty.)
but anyway i liked getting to see him not performing, just chatting in a car, and how the person appeared to match the persona.
another time on that same road i saw a space shuttle going up which was a stupendous sight even from 50 miles away so to be fair it wasn’t really a dreary road at all.
