hi y'all....

it's crazy but i've never been able to shake the feeling that ilx is just one big ole abstrack stream of consciousness novel; which as of now, i'm just finished reading.

several reasons why - the denise lambert thread was deja vu, i've met some of you, so it does not feel like characters in a book (good thing) and well... I'm just really busy. and the denise lambert thread cut into some valuable time that i needed to finish up an article. i.e. that's not a good thing.

i may pop up on i love music from time to time, so no, this isnt a rampant exit, it's just an exit from this board.

highlights: meeting some of you, getting a momus created word in the nme (aaahhh ... but you will have to scan it, as i use reviews in that paper as a coded little hello (to people) not just momus!), meeting suzy, mark, kate, marcello, all my favourite new mentalists.

so, if you see me walking down the street and i stop to speak just walk on by...ba ba baba.....OOooOOOOooo....

xxx
yr favourite new mentalist.

We don't believe you any more, Doomie. ;-) BTW, go to the Acid Ranch on Wednesday if you want to say hello!

Doomie, if I decided to stop posting every time I was procrasturbating over a deadline you'd read approximately zero postings from me here.

suzy (suzy), Saturday, 9 November 2002 12:25 (twenty-three years ago)

i think it was mark s that said pynchon was the overlord of ilx

i guess it must be busy being a Writer

bob zemko (bob), Saturday, 9 November 2002 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

ARGGGHHH!!! No! I am not a mere entity inside a Pynchon subplot! I *HATE* Pynchon. At least make me an Illuminatus meta-concept.

Joolz is my maaaaaaaaster.

Speaking of which, I've got to hack my Kaito interview down to about 1000 words *AND* get halfway through a tour by 17th November, but do you see me writing, or do you see me spouting depraved psuedoincestuous sexfantasies about Julian Casablancas all over the internet? I mean, do ya, do ya, huh?

Doomie, if I decided to stop posting every time I was procrasturbating over a deadline you'd read approximately zero postings from me here.

i know what you are saying and part of it is my fault, but between temping, and extending my range beyond the nme (which is a good apprenticeship for me, i.e. get the articles out there, finished and well-written and entertaining)....but I was pissed off at myself for writing so much on the denise lambert thread which was cutting into the time that i had set aside for an article that had to be done by friday - plus when you factor in my relationship w/Sophie plus friends who want to actually see me, occassionally, (yes i do have them) and the book, which is flowing nicely out at 3000 words a day and edits that take up too two hours a day, i'm just fucked for time.

and i can't commit or reasonably follow through thoughts that i do post up here (which as i admit, stream of consciousness, abstract, etc).

so i just wrote this to say, paul - do you want to be the world's greatest writer or do you want to fuck about on an internet board? i'm not being arrogant, but the time spent here is not creative for me, anymore and i might as well move on.

i do hope when i see suzy, kate, marcello, or the people that i met and dug on here for the past year, we can still chat and be friendly but i really have to call it quits.

even typing this, i've got my notebook filled with writing that i've got to be editing and it's cutting into it all....(get up six in the morning, sit in a cafe until 9:20, go to work at 9:30, write for an hour on my lunch break, write on the tube journey home, somehow use the nights and weekends to edit and perfect my ideas and keeping my relationship with sophie alive)...etc...do you SEE????

and even going on a pleasurable social outing with mark s and marcello (which was inspirational, as i do think marcello is an inspiration, that is my opinion) and then the next night seeing apples in stereo and the next night, turning down death disco because i've run WAAAY behind with my own tight schedule....and just being on the verge of nervous exhaustion.....

kate - i can't go to thee acid ranch as, well, to put it bluntly, i hate ian johnsen and wish him untimely death. he is a bastard, and if people read this, so what - i think he's an utter bastard - but those experiences of january taught me great lessons on how people are in the music industry - so really, at the same time, i should be thanking him instead of wishing him untimely death...

ANYWAYS! : - ) so, maybe i will run into you when i'm at a show, club, etc.

see you all!!!

doom-e, Saturday, 9 November 2002 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

See me? Doubt it. But hopefully one day maybe? Because if you like Marcello, then you can't be *all that bad*. ;-) Every SINGLE time I decided to cut down, I posted more. Then suddenly - without me having a say in it - I couldn't spend as much on the board anymore. Bummer/Yipee. Whatever.

nathalie (nathalie), Saturday, 9 November 2002 13:47 (twenty-three years ago)

so when the first novel is a success and my second one does an alex garland and i'm stuck writing porn scripts for companies in tennessee, then, maybe i can start up here again albeit more bitter with more complaints.


and i'm not all bad - but because i am stream of consciousness (which is one thing i will defend until i die....) people see all sorts of me, some will like, some won't.


doom-e, Saturday, 9 November 2002 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)

one last thing to clear up - i did talk about one person, i thought david h was a chump and told mark s so, because david, you seem to want people to think your a genius at writing *without* putting in the work. you have to come to terms with failure and complete anoymity. every writer that i've met, from denis johnson onwards, have done the same, what i'm doing, worked, and worked damn hard in investing in people's imaginations.

bye.

doom-e, Saturday, 9 November 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

doom-e keep me up to date w.yr email changes if-when they do change

i'm sorry i wz so tired on tuesday, but i'm super-glad we all met up

mark s (mark s), Saturday, 9 November 2002 14:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Come and have tea at the House of Trustafarai some time! (That is completely honest and straightforward invitation.)

kate st.jack, Saturday, 9 November 2002 14:19 (twenty-three years ago)

hahahaha - i will cause havoc if i show up at thee acid ranch. might be thrown out - which will be rock'n'roll. aarrgghh - why does everyone that i like on this board have to be posting on this thread!!!!!

back to work....

yeah, i do want to stress, i don't want to lose touch with anyone and won't....i just won't be writing on here or involving myself, much, anymore.

doom-e, Saturday, 9 November 2002 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

that's true, paul, yes. i guess, with your big future, i'll see you in the future. can wait.

david h (david h), Saturday, 9 November 2002 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

but i'm super-glad we all met up

(and then they all met up?)

mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 9 November 2002 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

kate are you a trustafarian? or do you live with some?

these departure threads are v. annoying every time

ron (ron), Saturday, 9 November 2002 16:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I am a FAILED Trustafarian = I live like a Trustafarian, but without the money. When the embargo was lifted, the sanctions were over, the last relative died, and I finally GOT my trust fund, there was, like 22p left in it. Waaaaahhhhhh!!!

kate, Saturday, 9 November 2002 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

it's for the best, it can ruin you. a lifestyle too detatched from reality

ron (ron), Saturday, 9 November 2002 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Like my CURRENT lifestyle is SOOOO based in reality. (yes, please rub a little to the left, Julian... yes, get that little piggy good, mmmmm...)

kate, Saturday, 9 November 2002 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

:-)
