― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Saturday, 22 November 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, ok, i like the kid but if i could explain to him the absolute drearieness of doing what i hoped to be doing (writing The Great Canadian Novel), he might understand.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Saturday, 22 November 2003 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

you know this thread would be a lot less embarassing if some of you fuckos would answer it.

Tequila.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 22 November 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

ten yrs ago?

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Saturday, 22 November 2003 05:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Tequila for me too, come to think of it. Had only had crap college-campus tequila ten years ago.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 22 November 2003 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah - I drank a bottle by myself at 19 and couldn't take it for many years after that. Now, well, Jose Cuervo ain't my friend, but his hot cousin Patron Silver sure is.

Drugs.

All of the above and more can be yours if the price is right!

Tomatoes. bnw, do you remember when you said I didn't deserve a medal? I just re-read that and it made me laugh.

― maryann (maryann), Saturday, 22 November 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Tomatoes are also called 'love apples'

― maryann (maryann), Saturday, 22 November 2003 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

60s music, red wine, avocadoes

― the surface noise (electricsound), Saturday, 22 November 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

and probably some kinky stuff

― the surface noise (electricsound), Saturday, 22 November 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

My husband (who doesn't look like the stereotypically indie guy that I would have insisted upon ten years ago). Radio Two. Chris Sutton. Shane Richie. Kylie. (Isn't it great how circumstances can change your views on people?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 22 November 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Fritz, by the kid do you mean yrself ten yrs ago?

Hmm, the 20 yr old me wouldn't have been disgusted, but rather extremely surprised, by my love of country music.

All of my tattoos would've come out of left field for 20yr old me as well.

Oh, and that operation.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 22 November 2003 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Maryann OTM.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 22 November 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

A boyfriend with a beard.

I'm really not sure who's right on that one. Probably me, cause I love the boyfriend, but the Kid is right on beards in general...

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 22 November 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

90% of all music that I listen to now. Going out. Getting intoxicated. Conservatives (as in, ten years ago I would have dismissed anyone with those kinds of political views from the get-go, which I don't do anymore.) Beans! Sauerkraut! Well written reviews that I don't agree with. Well written anything that I don't agree with! Hell, I was even starting to enjoy school towards the end, which is probably the one thing 10 years ago me would have NEVER thought would happen.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, great question, btw.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I SWEAR TO GOD, I CHANGED THE NAME ON THAT!!!

― Kate @ Suzy's (dali), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

HAHA ED LOVES KATE'S B/F!!

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

It doesn't matter that it's not true, it's out there now and that makes it a FACT!

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I think me at ten years younger would've not been as into forensic science programs as I am currently. She would've probably yawned at cooking shows. She would've been surprised to find me crushing on guys who don't look at all like Nick Rhodes. And she'd have been surprised to find me listening to a lot of the music I currently listen to.

― Pancakes For Breakfast! (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, the music is a definite change since I was so dogmatic about music made with guitars. So all the synthpop in particular, but also mainstream pop and mainstream country would have been disgusting to 18-yr old me. Also would have been shocked by booze and other drug use. Those would be the big ones.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 22 November 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

HAHA ED LOVES KATE'S B/F!!

I was wondering about that. The passion!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 November 2003 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm only in it for the oscillators.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 22 November 2003 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Everything I hated at 17 I hate even more now.

― disco donut (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 22 November 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

that i'm still living in ann arbor, that i still don't have a job in the field i spent years here to learn, the weight I've put on since then

I kept staring and staring at this and couldn't figure what the fuck was going on. .. had I missed Ed's coming out thread? ;)

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 22 November 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I know! Ed, if you're going through changes in your life, it's OK to start threads about them, you don't have to be all stoic!

and basically everything else I've learned from Stairway To Hell.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 22 November 2003 23:14 (twenty-two years ago)

also bnw & nate's first posts are totally OTM for me. Actually I think I've always enjoyed R&B I just never would have dreamt of purchasing some. And I think at 14 I was still averting or closing my eyes whenever horror movie ads came on TV.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 22 November 2003 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

thongs

― Dante-Cubed (Sean3), Saturday, 22 November 2003 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha, yeah, thong underwear.

And asparagus.

I never would have imagined that I would learn to knit either.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 23 November 2003 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ooh I've never knitted asparagus!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 23 November 2003 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

You'd need quite large needles...

(I'm not wording things well, ignore the "either")

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 23 November 2003 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

my liberal political views (i founded the young republicans club in hs)! my love for balding bearded men.

Cranberry juice, girls in glasses, horse racing.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 23 November 2003 01:23 (twenty-two years ago)

my lack of control.
ten years ago: "I don't care!"
...but I really did.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 23 November 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

The sex business. I mean, ten years I would I would be thrilled to receive the kind of sex I get now. Then, I was scavenging in the ashtray for old stubs to smoke. But also, then, I had an idea of the kind of sex I'd be getting in ten years time. It certainly isn't happening.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 23 November 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

That doesn't seem to make sense, really, given the thread title. But my answer is "sexual compromise". I quite like it.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 23 November 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

But the kid is correct.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 23 November 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

In this exact way. Otherwise, believe me, the kid is incorrect.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 23 November 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

bnw, do you remember when you said I didn't deserve a medal? I just re-read that and it made me laugh.

I had to look it up, but yeah, I was such smart-ass.

"was"

Olives

― Hunter (Hunter), Sunday, 23 November 2003 07:18 (twenty-two years ago)

For the most part, I don't think I've changed my opinions all that much since 1993 (which I still consider kinda recent, oddly enough).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 23 November 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

My increasing level of patience to put up with BS, while finding ways to solve it.
