― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 5 September 2003 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember if I did one of these when I first came here... may have skipped it if the thread was big, I dunno.

I'm Trayce, I'm 32, I work in IT at a large multinational ISP doing fairly dull admin/tech work, the beauty of the job is I have hands on all day access to a high speed internet pipe and next to no restrictions (apart from chat like irc heh). I like to think I'm a writer, though I've only had 2 poems published for money in small literary journals (laziness really - Im sure I could get more if I actually sent work places!). Im accused of being a goth but I hate goth music, so I really don't know why. Indiechick would be more accurate. I live in Melbourne which is the best city in the world, so there.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 5 September 2003 08:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Richard, 27. Increasingly grumpy old man. Computer programmer by trade. Bisexual. Very single. Likes beer a bit too much, and cheese more than is strictly healthy. Standard issue liberal socialist. Yorkshireman by birth, Londoner by choice. Recovering indiekid who still does a bit of djing and gig promoting on the side.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 5 September 2003 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

heh, ''Recovering indiekid''.

Ed, unemployed 23, but have been 33 since age 12. Bourgeois Libertarian Socialist hippy type, smelly hair, wants job on railways. Currently perfecting an as yet unnamed drink which is a mixture of vodka and dry sherry in martini proportions, could do with a bottle of gin to see if it works that way too.

Toby, 23, mathematician, alternating between loving and hating it as I try to write up my PhD and get a postdoc. Moving away from beer drinking because it gives me hangovers, and consequently from pubs to bars. Completely in love with (north) London. Own far too many books/mp3s/bottles of spirits. Liberal socialist. Most annoying habits are apparently droning on about tube routes and getting up from the table every two minutes during dinner to grab books off the shelves to find substantiating quotes.

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 5 September 2003 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't post here much. Some time ago I lost the plot and contemplated introducing a wonder woman theme to my sexual relationship. In an unrelated incident, my girlfriend and I split not long after. It was probably for the best. In my spare time I enjoy bottling things up and feeling angry with people. My favourite telly programme is Misomer Murders.

― Badger (Badger), Friday, 5 September 2003 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex, 21 (only just, still in denial about elderliness), student, future journalist, Cardiff but currently in London for Times internship (in denial about Cardiff too, that won't last any longer than it has to), black hair, inconsistent of politics (spend my life crossing back and forth over the line between hard-left libertarianism and hard-right libertarianism with an added smattering of 'everyone who disagrees with me should be executed!' totalitarianism), over-obsessed with music (pop, electro or female angst for preference) and tennis (Russian).

A bit late for my day job today (archaeology). I live in Tartu, Estonia. Keep doing music shows on the radio, also various music related translations now and again. But no music journalism or record reviewing any more.

Hiya!

Deanna, 23, payroll clerk and full-time college student, decided to go back to earn a bachelor's in computer science after not quite so amusingly finding economics not exactly setting the local world on fire, lives and breathes in San Antonio, possibly terminally single, loves music with synthesizers, the ILXiverse's most conservative person, still hopeful, still wishing, still here. My favorite colors are dark and pastel blue, dark and pale lavender, black, forest green, and ivory.

This almost feels like I'm writing a personal ad here. I feel as though I should add, "Looking for Michael Hutchence lookalike to 'disappear' with," at the end of the above paragraph. ;)

― Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 5 September 2003 11:29 (twenty-one years ago)

well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
i'm goin down in history

with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair
now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang
but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize

Wait, just kidding. My name is Nick. I am 24. I live in Richmond, VA with Sarah McLusky. But we are probably moving to Chicago. I also enjoy Law & Order. I also enjoy playing in rock bands. I work in an office. Hopefully we will move soon and I will be able to quit my job and get another sparklier office job.

Bill, 28, New Orleans (we will for the moment consider Bloomington Indiana a temporary and far-flung suburb of New Orleans, or imagine Bill as the pinch of gum at the end of a very stretched parabola thereof, with New Orleans as the mouth), writer (genre fiction and roleplaying games), editor (fiction and social justice stuff), painter (badstract expressionism, which is like abstract expressionism without actually being any good), cook of good food, player of bad tennis, owner of two cats, boyfriend to one girlfriend, never been to clown camp, once read a book about Iceland.

Heck, I thought that Nichole Graham and I were the only Floridians on here, Christine. Hello there. How's this darn storm treating you?

Half of my front yard is underwater, and I've had to park on the neighbor's property. (Yes, I park on the front yard of my house. My husband's boat--part of a money-making scheme that will probably never see water--is in the parking lot.) There's big tire ruts there now that I'll have to repair before the water dries up enough for my neighbor to see them.

Jody, NYC, few months shy of 27. Will defend New York to the death but am entirely ready to spend the next several eons kayaking down frozen Alaskan rivers and scavenging through rotting bunkers. Music: punk, disco, Dylan, soulful '70s cokehead goofballs, melodramatic organ freakouts.

― animal wrangler (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 7 September 2003 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Rob, 31. Midwestern through and through. Grew up in small town Michigan, spent the last 13 years in Chicago. I fucking love this city. Currently seeking employment in the, uh, financial services industry. I used to own two cats, both adopted strays, but sadly one of them recently passed away. I discovered ILX about 10 months ago, when I googled an excellent article written by Tom Ewing. It's been an incredibly positive, never uninteresting addition to my daily life; but I'd be lying to myself if I tried to claim I didn't waste way too much time here. I'm often cranky, but pretty easy-going at heart. I like to have a good time. I just grilled a steak outdoors in beautiful weather and washed it down with a few Millers and I'm listening to Steve Cushing's Blues Before Sunrise program and I quite honestly could not be happier. Tomorrow the NFL season begins. I'm excited. I hope I wake up in time to watch. I love music with a ridiculous, obsessive passion.

John, 24, Chicago. Went to college in Kalamazoo and got an English degree, fully expecting I'd be on the road to a Ph.D. within a year of graduating, but it's been over three years and here I am, with no current plans. Instead, I play keybs in a band and work with a non-profits arts org and try to write as much as I can, including a blog about music. But I'm interested in books and visual art and film, too. And I'm obsessed with "culture," however you want to define that. Music I like: post-rock, indie-pop, electronic, though 2003 is the year I've listened to straight-up pop and hip-hop for the first time in ages. Also, I have a bushy beard.

dog latin (Charlie), 23 on the fifth of october. Just managed to find myself a poorly paid job with an internet company after a year of temp jobs and searching. I've been on ILx since I was at university in Colchester doing English Language and Linguistics.
What did I get? A Desmond.
I fancy myself as a writer even though my writing style on ILx is sloppy, unimaginative and uninspiring. This is down to either being drunk, hungover and the fact that i am lazy.
I now live back home with my dad in Letchworth.
Where's that? North Hertfordshire in England.

(i'm east coast, born and raised.) i just graduated a few months ago with my master's degree, and now i'm getting involved in lots of projects i think are cool. most of my time is taken up by working for a certain SR on a certain post-punk book, but i'm also doing some work for a new pbs documentary on music and the brain, and to make beer money i review books about psychiatry and neuropharmacology (and the odd album or two.) yeah. i like music and brains. and bad horror movies.

Adam. 25 years old. Shortish. Born in London, UK, but now live in Berkeley, CA. Very recently married, and currently unemployed. Luckily, my in-laws love me dearly. Currently, I spend a lot of time reading grown-up comics and trying not to become my parents.

Are they unemployed comics fans living with their inlaws? Because, um, if so...

Incredibly boring trivia: twp62yo (my email and AIM name) stands for the well preserved 62 year old, as I behave like an old man most of the time (I did not name myself this, not that it matters).

Bryan - I thought your AIM name was toffeesock once - this had hilarious consequences.

It was me who was horrified!
