Sigh. I miss you guys so much. What is going on in ILX land? I'm in a web cafe so I can't read everything...

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

The girl across from me in the library, Kate, is amazing and I should really just say 'er, I know this is a bit weird but would you like to go for a drink' but then she'd say something like 'no' or 'I have a boyfriend, sorry' or 'wtf?! I'm a trainee hellcat, get outtamyface'. Sigh.

Lots and lots of self-analysis. That's been about it in the last few days.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:22 (twenty-two years ago)

And we discovered that Kate The Saint is an anagram of A Hate Kittens.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm off work for a fortnight, and have nothing exciting to do, so i am mainly playing around on the interweb...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

well it was only yesterday for the self-analysis (if there was anymore, I must've had a lot of work bcz I didn't bullshit on the boards as usual).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

New Sloan Album out!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

HOW'S HANDSOME JEDI KNIGHT's BEARD!?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

mmm bread.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Self analysis is good. I've been doing too little of it. And last night I dreamed about having sex with the 80s B--Line Matchbox Disaster. Ugh! What is my subconscious thinking?

I'm reduced to recording on my 4-track at the moment. Boy, is the sound quality shite.

Come on, scandals, fights, there's got to be something moving in here...

A Hate Kittens. Mwah hah hah, that's priceless.

David, smile at the girl across from you. Catch her eye and give her a good smirk. She'll wonder what you're up to. If she smiles back or giggles, you're in like flint.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate - she's behind me!! Argh, the politics of library positioning.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Kate! How the hell are ya hun? I hope all is well with you & HSA. Well in a nutshell, we are still waiting to buy a house, but J got made redundant, but all is well now as he found another job! I passed my exam & all is right in the world cos I just had a pint! yay me! We miss you round here lady! x

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

New Sloan album? WHAT?!?!? WHERE?!?!? (Is it true there's no Andrew songs on it? Feh.) The beard is still present and beardy. HSA is hard at work on postcards and posters for his upcoming shows. The first opening is only a month away! Gah!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

David if you go talk to that girl i'll...think of something

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Argh, I just found out we're playing a gig in Liverpool. This is what happens when you don't check your email for a week! Eeep!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

20 bucks can't hurt too much when it's Canadian. Sadly its outta stock on that website. Something about the first pressing coming with a free 7" or something.
Action Pact, no Andrew tunes and only two from wee lil Jay.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

(OK, I'll wait till she's about to leave, thus avoiding any horrendous silence discomfort if she was to say no and have to stay - then I'll just say that I think she's pretty [we had a thread on this Kate, 'pretty / cute / beautiful / sexy / zzzzz'] and ask her if she'd like to go for a drink.)

This is all that's going on in my life right now, Kate. You sound chirpy! (Which is good.)

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Till the end of lunch (seven more minutes, noooo), Seedling's "Dutch Disease" is the best song ever.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

There's this weird thing where people are getting all aggressive on the "why don't people like you?" thread, because they find people "boasting" about their flaws offensive. And all the other threads on ILX are the epitome of humility and modesty. I dunno.

Other than that, we have a new troll, an extremely amusing gerbil situation, and a newly found fear of Dom Passantino and Alex K.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Details of Liverpool gig please - the Ormskirk possee may well come down for it

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

No, best song ever at the moment is "Negative Capability." But the rest of the album ain't up to Manitoba.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

David if you go and talk to that girl I will send you five australian dollars.

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw Kate we miss you! Since you've been gone ILM has been talking about slap bass and nothing else, where've you been?

(j/k)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I have missed our new troll... please point him out.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, me too!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, Nickalicious, I actually put a slap bass sample on a track the other day! You would have been proud...

LIverpool gig is Monday, 13th October at the Cavern Club. We're playing the International Pop Overthrow festival.

Since my bandmate has effectively resigned (read: stopped returning my texts or phone calls) does anyone else want to be in my band? You don't have to play a thing, it's all done by computer. You just have to stand onstage and look good. ;-)

::waves at Pinkpanther:: Have another pint for me!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Kate, I can't play anything except for the recorder, but I have got nice boobs, will that help?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

based on my "gatwick runway 3 not yet available for landing please carry on circling pilot" theory of work production, i am thisclose to a new book commission which WHEN successful will help me finish the 138945890271039847 already in progress YAY!

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't shit my pants once in the past few months.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate I would love to get all dressed up and stand around on stage with you, but I wouldn't even know how to mime playing bass/ guitar/ drums/ etc. Which is a real shame. (For me)

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink, yer in! Rehearsals start... erm... I don't know when. Anna, it does not matter. Can you shake a tambourine?

Good luck, Mark S. I just started writing a new story, too... it's a spooky ghost story, oooooohhhhh, which will be as unsuccessful as all the other ones, but hey. It keeps me from endlessly playing solitaire on the computer...

20 minutes left... it's been so long since I was on the internet I don't even have any mail to reply to cause no one's written. Wah, I am sad.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Tell me: 'just do it, fuckass'.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

OH, and I just found out that I was published in a book and didn't even know about it. Or maybe I did know about it and forgot about it. Maybe if I would get off my fat ass and do something occasionally...

Nah.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I can be Bez, but with better clothes and less drugs.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I could be Bez but with better drugs and less clothes.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Excellent! Every band needs a Bez! At least our Bez will be attractive! Wah-hey!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

See my "two years" thread a little further down the page. Sadly Kate I fear that I would introduce too much of an "improv input" into your band... ;-)

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

who's the troll (the new one)

― james (james), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

yay, i can mime & stick my boobs out, oh & shake my booty, obv in a sullen way of course! I'll quit washing my hair immediately!! :-)
Good luck with the Liverpool gig btw!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

It doesn't matter, Marcello! No one in my band will actually be PLUGGED IN. I will be sitting at the back with the computer doing everything (as usual) and everyone else will just be miming.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

kate are milli vanilli making a comeback

― james (james), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:04 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no new troll, just christian from sweden who claims to be 11, who tuomas ph34rs for historical reasons

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Girl you know it's true, but what can I do, ooh ooh, ooh. Milli Spirilli in the house!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I lost a limb. It has inspired countless 'lost a limb' parties across London so I really don't feel bad about having no arms.

― deathnight, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

No one looses limbs any more, they can just sew them back on. You wuz robbed!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

damn! they were mocking parties afterall!

― deathnight, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd just like to let Mark C know that his newly found fear of me is completely unfounded. Dhharling, I'm an oh so sensitive artiste you know, and not a thug, honest like.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

You're always being mocked, I would have thought you were used to it by now. ;-) Make mock turtle soup.

Beautiful soup, so rich and green, waiting in a hot tureen, who for such dainties would not stoop, soup of the evening, beautiful soup.

Right. I'm down to five minutes left and then I have to buy batteries.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

for my automatic limbs? how are things going with joe? and joe?

― deathnight, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Could I just be plugged in at the Liverpool gig just long enough to say 'Good evening Newcastle'?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

In case you go b4 Kate, take care & hopefully we'll see you back here soon! *hugs*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, that's it. Bye-bye, guys!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Seeya! Oops, a bit too late on my part...

― Thy Lethal Zen Ned (Ned), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I did it.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no new troll, just christian from sweden who claims to be 11, who tuomas ph34rs for historical reasons

He was from Norway, actually. He started his "Sweden or France" thread quite trollishly, but after a while he seemed to mellow out, so there's probably no reason to fear him.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuomas, he's started quite a few of those in the last weeks. All my country / video games / answer now idiot stuff. If he's not .xi., he can fake it so well that it doesn't matter whether he's a troll or not.

― nestmanso (nestmanso), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

and?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I may need surgery on both eyes, but I doubt the specialist who has decided this.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that 'and?' directed at me, Julio?

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

yes it was cozen. didn't copy and paste as usual.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Aha, well I'm going on a date on Monday. It all looks exciting and promising and she is so so pretty, but enough said. (I met N. tonight and he was really nice but I'm afraid I might have mildly upset him because I was so shy / reticent. : (.)

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Plus he bought me a drink. Thanks, Nick! We'll meet again, I'm sure.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

that's great cozen, good luck.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 21 August 2003 07:36 (twenty-two years ago)

well done Dave.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 August 2003 08:04 (twenty-two years ago)

haha "well done", I don't know what else to say, "good work, thanks for touching base on that one". Is there a male version of girly excitement? Maybe I shouldn't go there.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 August 2003 08:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, I'm an emo drunk.

― David. (Cozen), Thursday, 21 August 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

He hasn't touched base yet! (I'm so very very sorry).

Also well done.

(Bloke version is "High five!")

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 21 August 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course, HIGH FIVE DAVID!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 August 2003 09:06 (twenty-two years ago)
