― Nellie (nellskies), Sunday, 3 August 2003 03:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Exercise. Become a clean freak. Get a better job.

masturbate. drink beer. listen to tom waits.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

(but is masturbation something you really "aspire" to? some things take care of themselves.)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Masturbating daily if you're over 18 is something you have to work at, IMO. I mean, just getting over the chaffing takes a lot of discipline.
I try to bathe, write something, make someone laugh even if I'm finding nothing funny, and wear my mouth guard when I sleep.

I knew this thread would proabably mainly consist of the jerking off answer... I was just kind of wondering what people entrenched or hoped to entrenched as good habits (not just what seems like good habits). I want to pick up some good daily habits. I used to try to learn a new word every day but at that rate (probably at any rate) I often ended up forgetting the meanings. Maybe I should try to draw something every day.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Sunday, 3 August 2003 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Each day, I try to go swimming... damn good exercise

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

My serious answer? I try to do something every day. And even at this level of vagueness, I don't always succeed.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Could be because of the vagueness.

Me? I just try to live, man. L-I-V-E.

a reasonable amount of schoolwork.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 3 August 2003 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Masturbate. Drink beer and smoke pot. Listen to Tom Waits.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 3 August 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

500 words.

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

also, avoid hearing tom waits at any cost

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

ANY cost

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

― duane, Sunday, 3 August 2003 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

mission in life statement: go to duane's house and play some tom waits and await reaction.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 3 August 2003 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Bad habit that's really, really easy to keep: Drink two cups of coffee every morning. Good habit that's harder: Give my dog enough exercise.

― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 3 August 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

What I aspire to do: exercise, eat well throughout the day, do household maintenance, read the paper, complete every task I need to complete throughout the day.

What I actually do: take showers, skip breakfast, watch TV, save papers to read "later", complete 75% of the tasks I need to complete throughout the day.

― Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 3 August 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck you luna.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

at least *my* recent outburst had a *context*
what the hell is *this*?

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

to quote the klassiks:
"an apple a day - and an onion - keeps everyone away"

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess you're just better than me, Orbit.
(psst, just because one isn't aware of the context doesn't mean there isn't one)

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Give simple instructions to the Filipino maid.

― kayT (kaytee), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I try not to get depressed

― hebe cat (hebe), Sunday, 3 August 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess you're just better than me, Orbit.

Your answers are so defensive and insecure.
I wouldn't post something without some kind of context, and when I have, I have given an explanation right away.

You seem to be a generally hostile person, given your email address of don'temailmebitch@hotmail.com
I'm still trying to decide if you're a troll.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

And yours are smug and assume a lot. The email address and the 'fuck you' (which was not intended for you, thus I didn't need to fill you in on the context) is a joke, a thing which you seem not able to comprehend.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

The smugness is your interpretation. My posts don't assume anything. Your email address joke is not funny, it is stupid and misogynistic.

what do you do (or aspire to do) daily

I aspire to ignore Oops.
Return the favor.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't like playing with you either, Orbit. I'm always afraid you're going to tell on me.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't give me anything to tell.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not gonna play this little back-and-forth game that you seem to enjoy any further. (I've seen on other threads where you just HAVE to respond and won't let anything slide, which, if you want to make assumptions, says a lot about your character) I really couldn't care less what you think of me.
Misogynistic? Give me a fucking break. Exactly how long is the stick that is up your ass?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oops is not a troll! And personally I can think of nothing better to say to potential spammers than 'dontemailmebitch'. Except maybe 'dontemailmeBIYATCH!'

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Most days: get through it, survive.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and my aspirations are the same as Martin's.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Oops' e-mail address is an old ILM in-joke referring to the time Robert Christgau put in an appearance on a thread, ended his post with "Don't e-mail me," and never darkened our doorstep again.

― Asymmetric Cocktails (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

What happened to Pabst Blue Rosen? That was sweet.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Blount made fun of me for it. :-(

― Asymmetric Cocktails (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck Blount.

;)

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, if everyone stopped doing things that Blount made fun of, nothing would ever get done.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked it too, Jody. Blount is a dick.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:13 (twenty-two years ago)

- What happened to Pabst Blue Rosen? That was sweet.
- Blount made fun of me for it. :-(
- Fuck Blount. ;)

weird, this.
does it mean, like, if i also made fun of somebody then somebody would aspire to also...
*is overwhelmed by impure thoughts, shyly crawls away*

*crawls back, backwards*
khm, actually my nearest modest aspiration is to go to sleep not too late and get up reasonably early in the morning. seriously.

*is engulfed by impure thoughts again*

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 3 August 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

anthony OTM

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 3 August 2003 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I knew about the Christgau posting on ILM, btw.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Theres a fraction too much friction.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Sunday, 3 August 2003 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is insane. I can't figure out what the hell all of you are fighting about. Have another beer.

and a limb, not a limp

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I really should just give up on typing.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

but you're yjr best!

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

This is pre-drunk, if you can believe it.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

'yjr' = the new 'teh', hopefully

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

More beer!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

and 'go out on a limp' should be used regularly as well.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Like when you go out on a walk, but you have a bunion.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

look, i've rocked the boat, listened to tom, i'm out of pot, so c'mon and gimme more beer, please.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Lone Star okay?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but only if it's not your only one.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

*splashes around in kiddie pool*

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm tired of the virtual white trash backyard. Let's go to a virtual airport bar!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm there.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, me too. Kinda boring, ain't it?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Wanna get drunk and steal a plane?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

No. But there are a LOT of hotels around here...

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

(Just heading off the inevitable "get a room" comment.)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

#312, Hilton Airport.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Get a roo...Damn!

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

[Offering Luna a coat hanger.]
Kenan: Wood?
Luna: What?
Kenan: Wood or wire? They have both.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Wood, please.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh, a mini-bar. Cocktail?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

You're wasting time on coat hangers?!? Proceed directly to the rough sex, wussy.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(Yeah, that was the joke, oops. It's a scene from The Graduate.)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

(But I guess that would make me Benjamin, and Luna Mrs. Robinson, which is rude to both of us, so forget I said it.)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:00 (twenty-two years ago)

(who said I didn't catch that?)

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:00 (twenty-two years ago)

http://www.salmon-trout.org/Catch%201.jpg

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Now, that I did not catch

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

if you don't mind my saying so, this conversation is getting a little strange.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I do mind. But if you say something is strange, it *must* be.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Yr all nuts. Kenan, you crack me up.

I knew what Oops was about upthread. I read this board, see, and pay attention to the cliquey-shit that annoys others.

I want to go back to the backyard and the Lone Star, please?

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok. You're right. It's better. And it's so damn hot outside, I am really longing for a kiddie pool.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

1) Not fall down the stairs.

That's about it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

1. Not get drunk and take my clothes off in public.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, come on. Every once in a while?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

1)Not fall up the stairs.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam, you learn to give up on that one after a while.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

*sigh* I've done it too many times already.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

New ones: Not fall up or downstairs, not get drunk in public and take my clothes off (though I'm learning that this is a losing battle), and not give my phone number out drunkenly to people who later call me and I have no idea who they are. Woo!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i apologize oops.

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, but it's not even necessary.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 August 2003 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

tonight i'll aspire to have impure dreams,
for a change

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Monday, 4 August 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

If I could just not do the thing that breaks my heart all the time, I'd really like to do that. Well, not do it.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

what do i aspire to do every day?
i aspire to stay alive.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 4 August 2003 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

If I could just not do the thing that breaks my heart all the time

Should I ask?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

The same old song & dance. Remind me later on aim or somethin'.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Acually, it's very boring - you may wish to skip it. Ask me about the falling down the hill at a concert thing instead, or something - at least that was sort of funny.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)
