try: sex, drugs, Jesus, rock and roll, or money

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

good ideas, but - nobody to have sex with
- drugs have created more problems than ever for me
- my mums religious, its not the route for me!
- rock and roll, it kinda helps
- i'm piss poor, (from spending my money on drugs)

But thanks anyway.

Music. Cats. Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

hope?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

A burning, passionate hate and a drive to round up all the lackey-haterz and rub their snouts in their own filth. That and cod liver oil.

Coffee.

My sense of hilarity towards most things.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

my wife, my kids, music, alcohol.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Lots of things in varying proportions: my friends, music, books, art, TV and all that stuff are the main ingredients. And the hope of finding love once again.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Scientology.

But seriously, my cats, music (duh!), kids in the hall and simpsons reruns. And I still haven't written my novel.

epic masturbation

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

A good question.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

epic masturbation
good answer

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Coffee and cigarettes / denial.

sweet sweet sleep.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, that too.

Snickers bars and masturbation, sometimes with Snickers bars

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

(... really, really satisfies).

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

dear God, i almost followed up with "PACKED PLENTY WITH DEEZ NUTS"

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:13 (twenty-two years ago)

See, I took a hit, but I left some for the rest of the class.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

there's no almost about it, it's done.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I just say that I find this thread even more depressing than the other one?

― mouse, Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I am unable to find any thread with the words "epic masturbation" depressing.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

ILE is all about epic masturbation today. Bonsai trees, Snickers bars, we really do love everything.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

The art of jouir*. Here's a definition: the sapience to give body matter the maximum occasions to experience the transports that it finds ravishing.
*what would be the correct translation: the art of enjoyment?

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

ahhh sebastien, don't ever change

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

My wife, my job, my kids and my car. My feet on my table, and a cuban cigar.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

preferably: "bring it on, fuckfaces!"

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Easy. "Heavens! I kill you now." You don't even need to add the emoticon!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh fine, have it your way.

Someday, he's gonna actually say fuckfaces, and you're not gonna be able to bring yourself to ground him :)

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

HAHA

'someday'

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

The terror of kindergarten.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, no, it'll be like Shirley Jackson's "Charles." "Charles? We don't have any Charles in our class..."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't even know what a fuckface was till I was like 10!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Ya sheltered bubble-boy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't even know what a fuckface was till I was like 10!

I wasn't your mom.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I sense subliminal advertising.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna that is awesome.
(alternate caption: "you want fries with that shake?")

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

The Bring It On, Fuckfaces pic is easily the most redeeming element of ILX ever.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Perfect for the (one-day) ILX shirt: in L, M, S, and OMG-is-that-a-handkerchief sizes: yours for US$19.99

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm buying at least 5.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm buying 2. Grab me another one, Tony, and I'll owe you a drink.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, no, it'll be like Shirley Jackson's "Charles." "Charles? We don't have any Charles in our class..."

We read that in my 7th grade classes last week. Two most common reactions: "I like that Charles" and "He was a boy and his name was 'Laurie'?"

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just realized a serious answer to this question is Elliott Smith's music.

Yes music, as for many of us, is important to me. But I think his more than anyone else's has helped me to get through life. It touches deep parts of me like nothing else does.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 02:25 (twenty-two years ago)

crank

― Skottie, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Coffee, drugs, music, friends via email, my apartment.

― 57 7th (calstars), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

My boy, my friends, my family, a bright future (although sometimes it gets a bit difficult to see), that and the thought that I cannot wait to have children of my own.

Luna - that pic of Spencer is too cute!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Family/friends/hope/music/art/books just the usual stuff I guess.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ILX!

Also, husband, family, red wine, music, football, tv, films, books.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, Ailsa is otm! ILX definitely gets me through my work day!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:42 (twenty-two years ago)

friends, music, cigarettes, alcohol, orange juice, food/cooking, shopping, watching sport, also my car gets me through life alot quicker and in a more private manner. family also.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It's nearly a year since I stopped using ILX at work (I'm home today). Whilst I think it was a good decision to make, the last year was a bit more depressing than previously.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

finding a tiny bit of weed in my desk drawer!!!!!!

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Unrepentant apathy and indifference, a burning desire to rise above it all and most recently, the knowledge that I'm really clever and everyone else is rilly stoopid*!

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

*Everyone else being the general population of Ghana, who are also mondo irritating in the bargain.

Oh, I forgot - music, movies, art and fashion, which aren't readily available during the day, though the thoughts of them keep me going.

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

accomplishing things, self-medicating, music, when something funny happens, onanism, girls, eating food, learning stuff, etc.

Today? Let's say.. Léo en jouant "Dans la compagnie des hommes", un film d'Arnaud Desplenchin. Sami Bouajila is top. Worth seeing, if you can find it.

(Am I the only person around here who starts singing the "whatever gets you through the night" line from Japan's "Adolescent Sex" whenever they look at the thread title? I'm thinking the answer might be "yes".)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 11 March 2004 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, the answer to my question is: friends, certain family members, my little six year old puppy, food, and the promise of sleep.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 11 March 2004 07:34 (twenty-two years ago)

(Ha. MY answer to THE question. Ok, someone's up far too late....)
