― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I recommend E.S.T

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

eastern standard time? is that a known aphrodisiac?

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

uhhh....no

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

why E.S.T?

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the only way to get rid of those nagging thoughts about guys.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I reccomend apostrophes.

― Super-Kate (kate), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

To clarify I actually mean E.C.T. Bloody acronyms.

Taking Sides: Convulsive v Shock

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, are we talking about Electro Convulsive Therapy or are we talking about psuedo-scientology bio-feedback E.S.T.?

― Super-Kate (kate), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Electro-convulsive, that's why I corrected myself ;-)

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Biofeedback might be helpful, too.

― Super-Kate (kate), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess it all depends what measures our friend CAss is willing to take.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i think im in love. i cant stop thinking of him and i associate everything i do with him. im obsessed!!! im quite a shy person so i could never tell him. it gets pretty upsetting sometimes

So CAss, how many candles on your last birthday cake?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:22 (twenty-one years ago)

ok i admit it is an immature way to handle it. but thats just me! ive always been like that

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

HOW MANY CANDLES?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

no, it was a serious question.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

fair enough. what's greece like this time of year?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I started a thread to this effect about a year ago, (something about how to stop obsessing/crushing) and I'd dig it up except I seem to remember it turned into a rather nasty "let's all take the piss out of Kate" session so perhaps the advice there wouldn't be helpful.

― Super-Kate (kate), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i think im in love. i cant stop thinking of him and i associate everything i do with him. im obsessed!!! im quite a shy person so i could never tell him. it gets pretty upsetting sometimes

So what do you want? What are you, 12? If you like him, talk to him, if you can't talk to him STOP BLOODY MOANING THAT YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM, BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY AREN'T!

x-post

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:25 (twenty-one years ago)

its boiling hot. and u can easily get tanned in the sun.
i need to know how to stop obsessing!!

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:26 (twenty-one years ago)

you can't be in love with someone you don't speak to regularly, PP?

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

we do speak regularly... but as friends.

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

concentrate on his flaws. tell yourself what a tosser he is.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Slip him a letter telling him how you feel. But write that letter very carefully and read it through before you give it to him.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i know this wil sound stupid but i dont care about his flaws! im even begining to like them!

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't mean that Kilian, I meant that to have the attitude that 'I just can't talk to him really I can't, but I am definitely in love with them' is an immature attitude to have. Fine you can be shy, but if your feelings for someone are not enough to make you overcome your shyness then I doubt it is love.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

boiling hot? Isn't it still early spring in greece?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

a letter???

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i dont care if im being immature!

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

a letter??! that would just seem weird! (x-post)

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Letters are what people used to write before email.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Letters are weird? Geez, I am definitely getting old.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

hey CAss, go look up infatuation in the dictionary.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i wouldnt write a letter!! that would seem weird! and anyway i dont think hes that type of person that would appreciate a letter

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i wouldn't tell someone i'm infatuated with them via e-mail either!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:31 (twenty-one years ago)

CAss, are you really from Greece? I think you're bullshitting. It's not even remotely boiling there right now.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

He can't read?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

it is ! i swear i am really from greece. and it is very hot! im sitting in a t-shirt and im still hot.its a little windy but in the sun its nice. why would i bullshit

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i dont care if im being immature!

My point is that if you are not prepared to do anything about it, you shouldn't moan about it!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, caught out CAss. The weather is quite mild all over Greece today.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i just want to know how to stop obsessing. what can i do to get over him?

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

um, get a life?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

MarkH OTM upthread. The phrase "pick on someone your own size" comes to mind here.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

and yet you lot are more than happy to hassle Aja or deny she is who she says she is, i'd say "shocka" but it seems redundant somehow

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

haha i'd believe aja if she wasn't constantly slipping up!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

surface otm, but i have been in mean-spirited form on ilx the last week so apologies.

don't get me wrong - i'm all for niceness across the board. all for it.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

perhaps we have fallen into bad habits

oh and dwell on the moral implications of fucking girls with boyfriends for eight hours

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:11 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry that "for eight hours" was badly placed. i'm not sting, you know!!

there were three potential meanings tehre

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

u guys suck. great advice

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

How long have you known him? How old is he? Does he talk about any other girls?

ie, we need more details, but letting him know your feelings is U&K.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

no. thanks but it doesnt matter anymore.

― CAss (CAss), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

my gf was in this situation when we were friends. she wrote me a letter. do as the mole tells you, write him a letter.

― kephm, Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

you guys r all gay!! my advice was so great. if you guys like each other and he comes and talk to you what's the problem? why do you want to resist it? bone him!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

How has Aja "slipped up"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

there was that time when no matter what we said she answered with "what?", and thus revealed the fact that she is actually the texas rattlesnake stone cold steve austin.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, I fear CAss has followed our advice, told him how much she likes him and he gave her that uncomprehending look, which is either followed in my experience with the embaressed laugh, or the look of revulsion.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Aja is the most genuine person on ILX, Strongo.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

CAss, did you see upthread? Kephm met his gf when she sent him a letter.

OK, I admit it may not work for you though.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 15 April 2004 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks everyone who gave me advice!! i decided to simply speak to him about it and it went pretty well! we are now going out!

Uhh, thanks. How did I come up on THIS thread??

we are now going out!

Congradulations! You must be very happy.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 17 April 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks. yeah i am!!!

― CAss (CAss), Saturday, 17 April 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

That's great.

Who asked who to go out?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 17 April 2004 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

no one really asked. i told him basically that i liked him and it just happened..
im really happy and grateful to those who said i should go tell him. otherwise i would have never done it

― CAss (CAss), Saturday, 17 April 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

So sometimes it is good to take advice from strangers. Well, people you don't know personally. That's the way it seems here.

ILE-ers: Should I do this thing, that I want to do anyway?
ILE: Yes! Go for it! Other people be damned! They don't post anyway!
Non-"us" people, on ILE: So, should I do the the thing I want to do anyway, too?
ILE: No, look, fuck off, your kind have ruined our lives, etc...

This thread makes me cry with joy

― Sym (shmuel), Saturday, 17 April 2004 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

But how did ipso know she was from Greece, anyways?

― Sym (shmuel), Saturday, 17 April 2004 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe she did it without a letter and everything.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:36 (twenty-one years ago)

while cass seems very nice, i doubt her letter-writing abilities are very advanced

― Sym (shmuel), Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Mate I wasn't suggesting a letter that went, "My Dear Alfred, I can hide my feelings no longer" or anything..."I think ur cute :]" would've been fine.

Anyway it's a moot point cos she was right - a letter wasn't necessary. And all's well that ends well.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:51 (twenty-one years ago)

can you do emoticons in letters? it seems wrong.

― Sym (shmuel), Saturday, 17 April 2004 06:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha, why not? I predict we'll be seeing them on wedding invites in ten years. Maybe even funeral announcements! Eg:
