Sounds like she wants you back, Horace.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 31 October 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

To be seasonal, obviously.

Sarah Mclusky (coco), Friday, 31 October 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Horace was a sk8r boi
Avril said "See ya later, boi"

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 31 October 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't guh-hood enough for her.

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Actual conversation:

Co-worker (who I've known socially for years): So what are you dressed up as, (Horace)?

(Horace): Someone who gives a shit.

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Sk8r Boi is a very mean-spirited song and I do not like it at all.

You are soo negative.

I am NOT soo negative. I'm quite positive. Positive Halloween is for nerds, that is.
All kidding aside though, Halloween sucks.


I kill me sometimes. And then I wonder why she left.

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

stevem (blueski), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

stevem (blueski), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

But mean-spirited Avril gets comeuppance in that song, surely?

Archel (Archel), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Only in that she imagined the whole thing...

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, that is what I do not like about it.

felicity (felicity), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I have forgotten the real lyrics.

Archel (Archel), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

what song?

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy
And Im just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock eachothers world

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Damn, I prefered Fr33 Ja22 Boi.

this puzzles me.

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Indie Boi

He was a geek
She was more chic
Can I make it any more obvious?
He wore brown flares
She had Amelie's hair
What more can I say?
He crushed on her
She'd never tell secretly she crushed on him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his corduroy clothes.

He was an indie boy
She said you're too skinny boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pencil case
With Hello Kitty's face
She needed to come back down to earth.

Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the goldfish she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Indie boy on the Open University.
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see the show.
She tags along
Stands at the back to
Look at the man and his protractor.

He was an indie boy
She said you're too skinny boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's earned loads of cash
Doing really hard maths
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We're discussing quantum physics
And waiting for aliens to visit.
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that geek could be.
There is more than meets the eye
I've seen the way he can recite Pi.

He's just a geek
And I'm just a freak
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we are happy being nerds?

I'm with the indie boy
The Mork to my Mindy boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be in the studio
Working out the formula
For how much of a bitch you are...

I am a Halloween-hating killjoy as well. Solllidarrity foreeeeev.... oh never mind. But I did wear a "costume" to work, in the form of a Mary Kay pin on my jacket, which my bf found last night. And so I pinned it on and declared it my costume for tomorrow.

"But, uh, no one will see it, because you won't be wearing your jacket at work."

Well, exactly.

Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

what the hell does that mean "turning into horace" anyway?

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)
