successful. handsome. articulate. upright. moral. capable. healthy. sober.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I knew I was too short to be any kind of model. And then my best friend in high school became a model, and turned into a complete jerk. So now I don't care.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I never actually wanted to be a supermodel, mind you

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Never going to be a rock star, too damn lazy. Probably all for the best.

Oh I dunno, I think standing around snorting coke off the buttcracks of young moroccan boys* and being a handbag for the Edge and David Copperfield would be good... oh, wait. No it wouldn't.

* obscure Aus comedy reference.

I will never have rock and roll hair.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck all of you! I'm going to be a supermodel and a rock star!

p.s. I am drunk and should post on the other thread.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You have rock and roll shirts though Jim =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll never be a roadie for Killing Joke.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

but no rock and roll pants :(

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Feh, rockstah pants smell funny.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

a professional musician of any sort. a novelist (although fate my have something in store in the future, perhaps i'll learn to write again). rich.

― Maria (Maria), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Maria, aren't you too young to be posting to this thread?

I haven't given up on anything yet. Jesus you fuckers are depressing.

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

stuff could still change. but i'm not getting my hopes up.

― Maria (Maria), Friday, 21 February 2003 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

maria = still in high school therefore excluded, in a good way

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 21 February 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm 32 and I'm in Maria's shoes. Resigned to the fact I may never make a living as a writer, as I've dreamed of. Knowing this is mainly because I wasn't prepared to work hard and go without makes it all the more bitter. But it hasn't stopped me writing at least. And who knows? Maybe I'll get there someday.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

But Trayce, you are really cool looking as a cartoon

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Thats it! I have a new goal in life - to syndicate myself weekly :D

Thanks man!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 February 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I've resigned too, but people keep asking me about it. Stupid weather balloon...

― Chris Barrus (xibalba), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm resigned to never making it as an alcoholic: I hate the taste and smell of alcohol.

I'm resigned to never being a druggie: I narcotics make me paranoid and violent, so I'll off everyone before I qualify as a junkie.

I'm resigned to always being the family oddball: this I actually like.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never be African-American. I accept this.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 21 February 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i've resigned myself to the fact that i will never be a vegan.

― di smith (lucylurex), Friday, 21 February 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never have a successful relationships or get married or anything like that.

But fuck that, I'm going to be a pop star AND I'm going to get my novels published. I will resign myself to loneliness, I will never resign myself to failure.

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

last night I was listening to Morton Feldman and Scelsi's string quartets and I'm reading adorno's 'In search of wagner' and I had those feelings of resignation regarding the fact that I will never fully comprehend classical music (not to a musicological level) to at least knowing some musical theory.

I want to a gain a fuller understanding but I don't quite know how to go abt this.

But actually it's an almost. I'm not going to give up that easily.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i will never get to be in space *sigh*

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never play the Dane.

Actually I haven't resigned myself to anything. I want to write a novel, record an album and play myself in a film of my life all before 30 and all under different names.

― Sam (chirombo), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I *will* get to space. I am GOING to explore Jupiter. ;-)

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 10:32 (twenty-two years ago)

b-but its just a big ball of stormy gas! no exploring Uranus jokes now please

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes. He is a big ball of stormy gas. INDEED. Suzy has already been making jokes about big red spots.

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

My deadlines for doing all the stuff I want keep getting pushed back, probably to the point where there won't be enough time between playing computer games.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I've resigned myself to never being the subject of anyone's secret adoration. I don't particularly want to be but I think my karmic balance on secret adoration is pretty fucked and it would have been nice to have balanced the books, so to speak.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 21 February 2003 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom, I totally hear you.

But you never know. I tend to find out YEARS later that I was the subject of secret adoration, but the adore-er was too intimidated to act...

Besides! the object of my not-so-secret adoration secretly adores you, so I'm jealous of that!

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

... to the fact that Spurs will never win the Premiership in my lifetime.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 21 February 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

damn right they won't!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 21 February 2003 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm beginning to think I'll never find a job.

― JS Williams (js williams), Friday, 21 February 2003 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i have resigned myself to nothing. least of all denial.

― di smith (lucylurex), Friday, 21 February 2003 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I've almost completely given up hope of ever being a commerically successful artist of any kind.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 21 February 2003 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is almost as miserable as At what age [did you]/[do you expect to] give up on your dreams? !

(Tom you do have a secret admirer)

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 21 February 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I've resigned myself to never again being a virgin.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 21 February 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

But you can have surgery for that, though! See the Designer Vaginas thread!

― kate, Friday, 21 February 2003 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

My heart (and cast of checkered past) would know though.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 21 February 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just outside and a police car past and I suddenly thought "I suppose I'll never be a policeman now" and spent five minutes in Pret daydreaming about my imaginary policeman career that it's too late for. I have never in my life wanted to be a policeman. Is this what it's going to be like until I actually turn 30 :(

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 21 February 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

It'll be worse, your standars will drop and you'll wonder why you never considered being a janitor. I mean they whistle while they work so they must be happy, huh?

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 21 February 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

tho i just found a website which claims it first appeared in a book by pg wodehouse (who in fact invented the entire language: prior to 19290 we actually all spoke spanish)

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 21 February 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

19290 galacticon time

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 21 February 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

How could 'we' have spoken Spanish?? None of us were born! Major hole in Mark S' argument...

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 21 February 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 21 February 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)
