This is the Thread Where I Say Pt. 21: You Have to Understand, I'm a Woman of Zest

Just in time for Halloween.

luna (luna.c), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure whether I should be proud or not that I made it to the title with that quote.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:02 (twenty years ago)

Hi Luna! How yer doin'?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:03 (twenty years ago)

I would give anything to not have to go to the laundromat tonight.

Hank Tenbeer (kenan), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:36 (twenty years ago)

I totally got scammed on the way home. Dude asks me for change for a dollar, so I fish out a bunch of change, but doesn't give me a dollar. "No, I said, 'Can you help me out with a dollar?'" I felt like such an idiot. I should never have fallen for that.

Hank Tenbeer (kenan), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:37 (twenty years ago)

I am frickin' tired. I will go home, make dinner and veg on the couch (but will watch Withnail and I if I can help it).

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 25 October 2004 21:53 (twenty years ago)

I got off my butt and made an updated myspace profile. Add me at your leisure if you like...

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:17 (twenty years ago)

I'd have to get my butt onto myspace first, though.

Argh, times are tough, many points to ponder, walls of stress caving in upon me and suffocating me....

Accept No Substitutes (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago)

Oh dear. Do take a deep breath and think of something pleasant.

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:40 (twenty years ago)

MySpace is IMO the nicest of those sites, except for the rating system.

I have this weird feeling lately that I've done something horribly wrong, everyone knows it, but no one will tell me. Not good to be so paranoid.

I do feel very bad that I've disappeared somewhat lately. I kinda got tired of typing out the same whiny crap all the time so I thought I'd spare everyone. I'm coming to terms with a lot of the things that've caused me trouble in my mind and that can take a lot out of a person. I do sincerely hope everyone is doing ok around here.

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Holy crap! I'm finally listening to the new album by this band I interviewed last week, and, uh, it's beyond awful. And I'm a fucking soft touch. This is really, truly terrible.

xpost, Hi Bryan! Glad to see ya!

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:45 (twenty years ago)

Hi Huck. I wore shorts today to show my defiance towards the oncoming cold (it was about 6 when I went out so it wasn't too bad). What band? Is it a Winnipeg band? There are almost no good Wpg bands and when I say that I'm including the We4kerthans, a band I consider to be terribly overrated.

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:49 (twenty years ago)

it's st@993red cr0$$!n9 good lord. life is really too short to endure another second of this.
I bundled up this morning in fear of the oncoming cold. I think it was around 6 this afternoon, and I was hot and sweaty on my way home from work. Stupid mornings with their cold and then afternoons with their warm. ARGGGG!

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago)

Their bio makes them sound quite dreadful.

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:01 (twenty years ago)

Their music doesn't do them any favours either!

I have let fear push me around for too long. Tomorrow, I wear short sleeves to work. No sweater, no parka. Just a shirt. Porky pig style.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:03 (twenty years ago)

I just tried to listen to the st@993red cr0$$!n9 song "Bus1ness As Usual" but shut it off after about 15 seconds. The recording is terrible, very Canadian local indie in quality, and the vocalist is "givin' 'er" a little too hard for the material. They're a shitty bar band at best. I'm little Mr Fucking Opinion tonight!

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:07 (twenty years ago)

Yup, learn how to write songs kids, then maybe W@rner Mu$!c won't drop your ass three years ago (I'm in a time travelly mood)

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:12 (twenty years ago)

Well heya there Bryan, good to see you again. :-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:14 (twenty years ago)

Hi Ned. Is it still raining? Any mudslides yet? I hope not, of course.

Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 04:41 (twenty years ago)

This is the thread where I apologize for leaving the AIM on when I went to work. And when I hung out with a friend tonight. But "Hi" right back to you all!

Except Huck.

Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:21 (twenty years ago)

hI DERE CHR1S! (when I first saw lady di, I recognized her by the minor thirds pin she had on her lapel!)

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:22 (twenty years ago)

OMG I SEND KISSES TO DI! She is the raddest thing. If I had an International Telepathicos pin I would wear it too. (Or a Flake Flictions pin, for that matter.)

Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:31 (twenty years ago)

Actually, are there pictures of the DiFAP on that thread?

Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:32 (twenty years ago)

Hey HEY!

No British people appeared on this thread yet? It's afternoon dudes, get to it! I'm intending not to go Barry today like I did yesterday, which is probably a good mood - if feeling pissy shortens your lifespan I definitely lost a few weeks of decrepitude over the last few days.

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Dude, what's up? Why you going all Barry huh? I keep meaning to post to this thread, but I'm not really liking ILX at the moment so it's hard. i want to speak to ppl on this thread though!

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:22 (twenty years ago)

Well, devote yourself to the cult of TITTWIS instead! I dunno, ILX seems okay right now - I wouldn't have said it was in a slump, or particularly bitchy, even if Marcello seems to have woken up on the wrong side of bed again lately, and Calum is back and being the world's biggest dickhead (which is quite some feat).

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:24 (twenty years ago)

Not saying it's in a slump or anything (everything has peaks & troughs anyway) just not hitting the spot for me. not sure why. I just think i get fed up with all the pretention & oneupmanship.

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:28 (twenty years ago)

Huh, you think YOU get fed up with the oneupmanship!

(hoho I am so funny)

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:33 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I see what you did there!

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:35 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna do a Dee style post now, so bear with me kids!

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:55 (twenty years ago)

Hi everyone, the heat in my shitbox car no longer works.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:58 (twenty years ago)

oh and i got my new license in the mail yesterday, Captain Fat Head.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:01 (twenty years ago)

Hi, this is the first time I have posted to a "This is what I say" thread. I'm still unsure how it works. Recently I shared a jacuzzi with Claire Gr0gan. (Is that what you do here?)

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:05 (twenty years ago)

welcome and yes, you can talk about anything.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:07 (twenty years ago)

Especially Clare Grogan in a bikini.

(What I didn't understand on the other thread was why she was looking at you slightly quizzically? Are you a minor celebrity? Do you share a sordid history? You're a very good looking man, but it can't just be that, can it?)

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:38 (twenty years ago)

I don't know. It might have been a "He's recognised me, uh oh" look which I interpreted as "He should know me and say Hi, (name), how is ... (etc), or maybe that isn't Mark"

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:41 (twenty years ago)

Hey, guys. I got to work extra early this morning under the pretense of catching up a bit, but instead I've just been reading ILX. At least I got overtime for that. ha ha

Who is Claire G? (too lazy to google obviously)

Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I just can't believe the news about John Peel. I also can't believe how upset I am about it!

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:46 (twenty years ago)

I want donuts. Lots and lots of donuts.

Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago)

I feel embarassed asking this on the JOhn Peel thread, but can someone explain the John Peel/"Teenage Kicks" connection to me?

n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:25 (twenty years ago)

Clare Grogan was in pop band Altered Images and acted in Gregory's Girl and Red Dwarf.

http://www.fhfilms.co.uk/M%20-%20Clare%20Grogan.jpg

"Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones is the song that John Peel claimed was his favourite song in history. He wanted its lyrics carved into his gravestone.

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago)

She is pretty horrible, her voice is so irritating.

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Do you ever have really heavy pop-up ad days? I'm having one today and it might be the death of me.

Also, why oh why did I think coming in early would be a good idea? Somehow it always translates into more work in my in-box.

Sorry I'm just talking about myself. That lady looks annoying.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Do you ever have really heavy pop-up ad days? That's why they make different kinds of pads. Er. Uh.

No hi right back atcha Chris and I totally forgot to send you my address. I am shitty. I'll see if I can find it.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago)

hI DERE!

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago)

I think I want to cover "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton, but replace the word "cocaine" with "caffeine" throughout.

n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:52 (twenty years ago)

Part of my larger post upthread was supposed to contain the following...

Julia How are you hon? I hope things are going well with you & i know I owe you yet another email, but then you know how crap I am! *hugs*
Penelope I am so glad that you have to decided to start contributing to this thread. I hope you are well.

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Argggggghhhh! You'll never guess what I found in my mailbox this morning? More terribly Cdn rock. I'm going to come up with a new name for this stuff. Potato Rock, like meat&potato rock, only with no meat. Ha ha ha, potato rockers!
THough my Irish mum might think it's a slur.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:58 (twenty years ago)

Noooooooooooooo! You can't call it potato rock, that would incinuate that it tasty, good & nummy, which is apparently isn't. What about cabbage rock?

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Nobody's ever included me in a big post!

remy Hi, how are you? How's school? How's it not getting more than 20 hours sleep in the past week?

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago)

What if we don't actually miss her, though? (I kid!)

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:18 (twenty years ago)

I miss you much (oh I miss you much), I really miss you much (oh I miss you much).

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:18 (twenty years ago)

This thread title keeps making me think of "Downs are Feminine Balloons" by Mercury Rev. Because it has the word "feminine" in it.

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:19 (twenty years ago)

I was wondering what happened to Luna!

Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:19 (twenty years ago)

She's been out of town for the weekend - I think she may not be back here until tomorrow.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:21 (twenty years ago)

But this thread is becoming DANGEROUSLY long!

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't think anyone else should start a new one! And it's not up to 1000 yet, so we can wait until tomorrow!

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:26 (twenty years ago)

Post sparingly, true believers!

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:26 (twenty years ago)

(just kidding, let's see how high we can get the post-count!)

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:27 (twenty years ago)

This is one of the reasons I stayed away from so long. You're gone a day or two and there's a whole new thread!

Orbit, Cali's not out of the question. It's not that I want to leave Dallas but I don't want another job here. That would feel defeating to me some how. If I stop teaching I think I'll have to do so with the plan of moving out of state in order to continue teaching and putting all monies and time toward that effort. That would also unfortunately moving myself and my things into my grandmother's place/storage but it would be temporary.

I've planned on my next (and probably final) move out of Texas to be to the West coast but am not sure yet. I've never been to Portland or Seattle but have been told by many friends that they are my types of cities. I also love SF and have thought of moving to Oakland to teach. Chicago's a fantastic city and I'd love to live there if it weren't for the cold! too much for me.

This is still just in the thinking phase partly b/c I have no idea how difficult it would be to get certified in another state (I wouldn't have TX certification to transfer over). I've got research to do.

N/A, my brother and I were driving through on our way home. We meandered a bit on the way home from the Beasties and went through Gary, Chicago and St. Louis, (the whole trip was kind of a hip-hoppers midwest road trip.)

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Monday, 8 November 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago)

I was going to bitch about my assfaced coworkers, but instead I wrote a big letter about them to an ex-coworker, one who "gets" me. Because I was her mentor. And now she owns a house.

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago)

Everyone I've mentored owns real estate now! I'm really good at mentoring. I'm the best. Why is my life so far in the suck?

Huk-L, Monday, 8 November 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Mentor, mentor thyself!

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 8 November 2004 21:35 (twenty years ago)

What a boring day. Every few minutes I'm like "Oh, I should stop playing on ILX and get some work done" and then I look around and realize I don't have anything to do. But I can't just unabashedly play online because my boss is here. Tomorrow she won't be here. Then, LOOK OUT WORLD!

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 November 2004 21:49 (twenty years ago)

I was hoping to have a smidge more work to do today. ILE is pissing me off again, but not you guys. I want a Fanta, although I don't remember what this is and probably don't really want one. The end.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 8 November 2004 21:50 (twenty years ago)

I think I am insane. Every time I get really depressed I go do a film job. That is so LA, I hate myself. I'm going to be script supervisor for a film shoot this weekend. Why do I do this? To remind myself how miserable film people are so I feel better? To see 20somethings fresh outta film school working their way up so I can be even more depressed at my lack of direction and old-ness? Why do I *do* these things. I guess it's better than obvious self-destructiveness like clubbing and drinking, but I can't help feel it is self-destructive in some insidious way. Then I always forget to write down the film director/title so I don't actually have a resume but my name is in the credits for a handful of small productions.

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 02:10 (twenty years ago)

I know you're talking about Porn, Orbit, and I accept you anyway.

Huk-L, Tuesday, 9 November 2004 02:33 (twenty years ago)

Hahahahahaha! rofffffffffllllllll
No just bad indie films.

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 02:42 (twenty years ago)

awww Orbit. Maybe you'll be inspired by something? This usually happens to me when I'm not expecting it.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 02:44 (twenty years ago)

I worked for a few hours, came home, and napped. And now it's 9:30. And I'm like, uh-oh. Goodbye, normal sleep schedule.

Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:28 (twenty years ago)

orbit -- I did the same thing last weekend. :( No fun.

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:29 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for the thoughts, Sam. Maybe I will. I hope so. I guess it gets me out of the house. Remy are you a script supv?

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:30 (twenty years ago)

on occasion. I gaff, lens, and write as money and time allow.

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:34 (twenty years ago)

when not composing evil lamprey dentatas, that is ;-)

Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:56 (twenty years ago)

yeah. I've got a few biologic fixations which need a bit of heeding, ehh?

Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 05:57 (twenty years ago)

Orbit - I meant to say yesterday that you post upthread was very moving. *hugs*

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 09:33 (twenty years ago)

Hi guys. I got mugged on Sunday. In broad daylight in a small country town, next to a church. Oh I love teh world.

I don't even really know how I'm doing now, just numbly at work because I need to pretend that it's all fine and over with. It's not.

Um, the police arrested someone on Sunday night I think but I haven't heard from them since although they were supposed to come to my house yesterday to take the official statement. I feel like I've gone over it 100 times now anyway.

I'm so bloody angry, why should I have to be scared to walk down the street now? Fuck the fucker.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 10:42 (twenty years ago)

OMG archel, that's horrible. I can't believe it, which i could give you a big hug & then go and kick this dude's ass. damn that's nasty, I am so sorry Arch. Whereabouts was this?

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 10:45 (twenty years ago)

It was in Lewes. Highly ironic that I'd been there on Friday night for bonfire celebrations in at atmosphere of absolute anarchy, and it was completely trouble-free, and then two days later...

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 10:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh Archel, I'm so sorry. I wish there were something I could say or do. I hope they have caught the bastard who did it. Are you okay physically?

Ha, I like the idea that porn films have a script supervisor. After all, we pay such close attention to the dialogue parts...

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 10:59 (twenty years ago)

I am ok physically apart from feeling sick and sort of clenched from the adrenalin and anxiety. My mouth was a bit hurt where he held his hand over it but that's better now, and my shoulder hurts though I can't remember why. Could have been worse.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:04 (twenty years ago)

Did he take much stuff?

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:05 (twenty years ago)

All that was in my bag was my cheap mobile phone, my wallet with only about £6 in it, five books and a box of tampons. Not a great haul for him really.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Ah this totally sucks, I really don't know what to say archel, apart from I am sorry that it happened.

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Archie, that's terrible! I thought when you said you'd lost your phone you meant someone had lifted it from a desk or something. Big hugs sweetie :(

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:22 (twenty years ago)

I know Mark, I didn't want to email everyone in my address book saying I'd been mugged... I know this is a public forum so actually it's worse in a way. But I wanted to tell you lot. Thanks for the virtual hugs etc, it feels like they're real.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:36 (twenty years ago)

It's just a shame they are only virtual. :-(

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:37 (twenty years ago)

They'll be real next time I see her.

Oh, Pink, I saw a cab with the licence plate P1 NNX today and thought of you :)

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:40 (twenty years ago)

They'll be real next time I see her.
Well that goes without saying, although i would hug archel anyway tbh!!
Oh, Pink, I saw a cab with the licence plate P1 NNX today and thought of you :)
Cool!!

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 11:46 (twenty years ago)

Argh, Archel, getting mugged is no good. Although the time I was mugged at least they didn't actually touch me. Hope it's not troubling you too much.

Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:00 (twenty years ago)

It's troubling me a lot. But soon, I hope, it won't be.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:03 (twenty years ago)

I was mugged once when I was 23, not a fun experience. Sorry to hear about that Archel.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:13 (twenty years ago)

Oh God Archel I'm so sorry, I'm just relieved you weren't physically injured.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I'm glad you're doing ok, Archel. I'm sure you're feeling very shaken up. It sounds like a nightmare :-(, but you're strong.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:35 (twenty years ago)

How great is this...
http://diggastyle.net/images/10-9-03/purple%20hippo.gif

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:47 (twenty years ago)

pretty great!

so sorry to hear, archel. i was mugged and beaten up a bit when i was 18, and even though it wasn't anything serious, it was really emotionally jarring. more virtual hugs for you...it might be really disturbing right now, but with time, the experience will fade.

JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago)

Archel, that's heinous. Karma will catch up to the cocksucker.

Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:46 (twenty years ago)

sorry archel, :(

this is nowhere close but all of my diet dr peppers were stolen from the lounge fridge, again. this was after a very mean sign i posted about the thefts. i think it was b/c of the sign actually. i hate people.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 18:30 (twenty years ago)

We have some regular Dr Peppers in the basement if you need a cold one.
