I like these kind of threads, how are you ILX?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Pretty good,considering....

― Plinky (Plinky), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Blah, flim flam. Alright I suppose. When I got back from my mum's I spent the weekend smoking spliffs and listening to Joni Mitchell. Draw on conclusions on emotional state.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

my health is in question.

― Mike Dickin, Monday, 4 November 2002 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

CHeer up Anna. Hippy is not a lifestyle choice.

Me, 'mfine. How about you Ronan - I sense a disturbance in your force.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm good. I'd rate my well-being (physically and mentally) at 8.5 out of 10.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm just a bit pensive, pretty eventful weekend, way moreso than usual anyway and I'm kind of sorting my head out.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

ok, its been all go recently, moving to a new flat, going to america, getting this new pc, financially its been a strain, with it all being at once. then everyone i know seems to be calling and i'm going out a lot and this is all good, its quite different from the summer when i didnt have a home, when i felt lonely, when i considered leaving london quite seriously.

the busyness and quite excitingness of recently has helped to distract from the thing thats making me sad (i fucked up), thats still there, and i'm unsure how to proceed on that front, doing lots of fun things is good though, but i still feel sad whenever i stop (hence - trip to either cologne or strasbourg!). nearly everything has resolved, except this:(

Better than I have been, health-wise.

― Rockist Scientist, Monday, 4 November 2002 15:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Physically, I'm fucking awful. I have a racking cough so bad it nearly caused me to choke on an apple turnover this morning. I have a nasty, nasty stomach bug. And I can't shake any of these things because I live in a house where the sanitary conditions are so apalling that they are making my health much, much worse.

But mentally/emotionally, I'm pretty good. I have a new crush, which always makes me happy. I'm moving to a wonderful new flat soon, which is very very exciting and fills me with happy anticipation. And obviously, the album coming out is exciting and happy-making now that I've got over the stress and can just enjoy it as being something fun.

― kate, Monday, 4 November 2002 15:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Rather good, all things considered. (I am slightly edgy about recent major capital expenditures and no work assignment right this minute, but still I am quite well off by most quality-of-life measures.)

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I like how this How are you? suggests more than a Fine, Thanks answer.

I had a great weekend - a show Friday night and then spent the rest of the time at my dad's with my bf, sister, her bf, and 2 more of her friends out in the country.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

OK. a bit tired.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 4 November 2002 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I like these kind of threads, how are you ILX?
I doubt a message board could answer this question. ;-)

I am tired. It's monday. I wanna go home and read some more "Have Gun Will Travel" and blast JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE's Justified through the speakers. *weeeee*

― nathalie (nathalie), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

GREAT! I've been doing shitty temping work since arriving in Glasgow in February and have *finally* landed a decently paid job doing what something I want to do (organising an international conference on early childhood development). I will get to talk Italian and French all the time and they might even send me on a Dreamweaver course. I start a week today. Hurrah!

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

My back's been giving me gyp, and I have to have a Serious Talk sometime this week, but apart from that I'm pretty good. Listening to a friend's album, which is pretty cool. And lots of dull repetitive work, which I'm exactly in the mood for.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Improved, definitely feeling better on the housing front, still working through a few things and loving the novel in progress. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

great. i'd a fun packed weekend which included driving down the country, seeing an opera, getting the roof fixed, having lunch with my parents, having dinner with a big gang of friends, having people round from lunch, playing junta, seeing the DV's photos from the lebanon, reading the new lemony snicket book and starting the latest lone wolf and cub. i come to work to rest.

― angela (angela), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm not good. life just got complicated.

― michael wells (michael w.), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I was fine until last night.

Lovely weekend, lots of socialising, seeing friends I haven't seen for ages etc etc - went out for dinner last night, leaving dog snoozing gently at home. Whilst I was out the skies erupted with firework displays, lots of banging, crashing and whizzing .... dog (who, incidentally, is GUN DOG and should be used to such noises) obviously freaked in terror at finding himself alone during the re-enactment of Paschendale and consequently ate my house. He shredded (amongst other things) three sets of curtains, the vacuum cleaner, my Georgian doll's house (ongoing project of which I _was_ v proud) and even chewed whopping great chunks out of the mattress in the spare bedroom. *sigh*

He was a quivering wreck when I got home. Poor lad. He'd cut his mouth (unsurprisingly) so there was blood everywhere and it looked like the Texas chainsaw massacre had taken place in the dining room.

Everything cleared up now, and apart from all of that I'm just fine. I never liked those curtains anyway.

― C J (C J), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Poor CJ and dog.

― Rebecca (reb), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, poor CJ, hope your dog is OK (and may you have many happy Ikea trips soon)

― Plinky (Plinky), Monday, 4 November 2002 16:47 (twenty-three years ago)

It is between nine a.m. and one p.m. where I am, which means I am beatific and optimistic and calm, radiating light. Between one and two I'll be thrown into a panic, realizing all the work I haven't gotten done yet. Then for a time I'll be grim, thin-lipped, and frantic. Gradually I'll forget to be frantic, losing myself in the rhythm of a task. Then I'll go back to being frantic, and repeat cycle until sometime between four and six when I give up and go home to a bottle of wine. Asleep at eight p.m., up at four-thirty a.m., etc.

It's oddly depressing and reassuring at the same time.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:05 (twenty-three years ago)

not great, but what else is new.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:13 (twenty-three years ago)

hometime for mark s!! and the day off tomorrow = catching up with everything, blog, book, email to anthony, blah blah blah!!

what can possibly distract me?

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm deleriously happy today, even after this morning's fright. I din't know why. I'ma little concerned that someone might get hurt.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

i am very happy for a change. last time this was asked (here) i prob wasn't. in fact i keep smiling. unfortunately this means i don't actually DO anything, which is a bit dull for other people.

Actually no. I've only been back from Holiday for two weeks and i was thinking -- I usually get out and see people more than i have done since then -- but sod it, i've been looking for a new flat/room (done, = part of the reason v happy) and have caught up with quite a few people and done evening class, and, loads of stuff. Forget i said anything negative.

I will resume my looking for a new job while happy, that way when sad I will have built up my own reserve of good will to burn when times get a little darker (when job starts getting to me again)

Finally: MASSIVE WINK. (I said "wink")

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I am tired and confused and weary and appear to have developed a twitch in the following regions of my body - below left eye, in left finger and thumb, the thighs, the upper arm, and the jaw. I have been feeling queasy and headachey for the last few days and haven't been able to eat much. I am also behind in my college work and spending too much money on socks. Plus I got told off in my lecture for talking over the lecturer. I need a hug. Grr Argh.

― alix (alix), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Alix, Please do tell me about your expensive sock habit. I'm rather obsessed with them.

Oh, and I'm really not a huggy person, but just for you:
* hug *.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Grr Argh, I'm sure Alix would happily hug you, cuz she is letting you share her computer and everything (And I would too).

― Graham (graham), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

where did you move to alan?

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

(Sorry,. that was rubbidge)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

it didn't make sense either.

― alix (alix), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

(I was implying the Grr Argh at the end of your last post was your tigXor signing it. DO YOU SEE???)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I am nestled in the elbow between Portobello Road and Golborne Road. I LOVE IT! (and it's only a TEENY TINY bit because i lived not so far away once before). num num all-night patisseries. num num lovely food market. num num ALL GOOD THING EVER.

(Thanks for asking, g)

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 4 November 2002 18:00 (twenty-three years ago)

WEST LONDON - AAARRGGHH!!!

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 4 November 2002 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I'm turning a corner. I've been in a lot of pain over a girlfriend who "needs space" and is more than likely cheating on me, and this weekend I finally backed way off. I was able to spend the weekend doing a lot of things that I wouldn't have been able to do with her. I saw Dntel and Chessie last night and that was nice.

― dan (dan), Monday, 4 November 2002 18:09 (twenty-three years ago)

My bike and ID card were stolen, but I'm doing OK. I do regret not being able to ride through the woods anymore, and I'm not getting as much exercise. Maybe, I'll get another bike soon (older and unstealable looking, yet still capable of going off road)

― A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 4 November 2002 18:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Indeed I do see. I'm going home now. Might get some chips.

― alix (alix), Monday, 4 November 2002 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I've just made a huge saucepan of carrot and coriander soup, if anyone wants a bowl to cheer them up. Mmmm......it smells heavenly! Fresh crusty bread, and unsalted butter to go with it too.

― C J (C J), Monday, 4 November 2002 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

yaya kate album out soon thats great! and cj i hope your dog is ok now, ruby also used to be terrified of fireworks. thunder too, she would try to crawl into my skin poor thing.
we are fine, me n my boy :-) he comes out of his plaster cast next week WAHOO and i cant wait to see him start to crawl and explore the world!
financially fucked but thats nothing new and i got an email from an old friend last night so i feel pretty damned good!

― donna (donna), Monday, 4 November 2002 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

she would try to crawl into my skin poor thing.

This disturbs me beyond belief.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 4 November 2002 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Alan that's near the sausage restaurant isnt it? Num indeed.

I'm happy cos I've fixed a date to get married, cos I have a host of fun things coming up, cos I keep hearing good music, cos my job is going alright, cos I live in London, etc etc etc.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 4 November 2002 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I've been trying to shake off a whole lot of anxiety and badness ever since last thursday. I've been reasonably successful, but today I worked myself way too hard (seriously - it's an 'on principle' thing) and now I just feel completly burnt out. I hope it's not something that an early-ish night and a good hot shower won't cure.

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 02:18 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm doing great! i'm on holiday. duckling's band The Futurians are playing tonight, can't wait! i didn't get up til 1pm this afternoon. i feel optimistic.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

A bit tired, but happy and excited about this new girlfriend, with whom I've been spending lots of time, and things are going fabulously.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 13:20 (twenty-three years ago)

mmm... gingerbread latte...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

The fire alarm went off during my last lesson and I was bored so I didn't come back, and now I feel guilty.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 13:48 (twenty-three years ago)

haha, that's rock & roll. fuck that guilt, it's just jealous that it still has to do stuff. put yr feet up, yo.

― g-kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 14:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I've moved too and it's mostly (but not entirely) a good thing.

I don't seem to stop being tired, but aside from that I'm OK. In a week or so I will be getting very excited because I will be going on holiday, and I like holiday very much.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

MISERABLE!!!!

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 14:41 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm merely bitter.

― g-kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

in need of a vacation. been working and playing way too hard and am now exhausted, feeling sniffly and getting ready to go crawl into bed.

― H (Heruy), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

How am I? I'm fine. Been channeling my creative energy into cooking -- now that the weather's cold I can use the oven without making the apartment unbearably hot. Haven't gone out that much, and never made it to any of the CMJ shows (bad memories of being elbowed in the ribs by PR assistants and other industry mooks). My allergies are bothering me, but my health appears to be fine.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm crawling towards a finish line that keeps on moving!

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Im doing super thanks for asking!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel better today, I've just been kind of taking stock of things and decided I'm happy. I'm in a state of extreme fatigue though, hard weekend, I wish I could write something but my brain is too tired, I've got a good idea and all.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

thirteen years pass...

fuck!!
