Everyone talks to themselves, at least inside their head. But what thing do you tell yourself most frequently?

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:02 (twenty years ago)

"Shut up. Twat."

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:02 (twenty years ago)

"Stop being so negative"

― Kate's evil twin (papa november), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

"Listen, you're going to be fine. Lot's of people walk behind other people and aren't trying to knife them."

― Fa Fa fa FA, Fa fa Fa fa FA Fa (poop), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

"fancy a shag?"

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

that's a question, i guess, but it's rhetorical. maybe "nice hair"

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

No no no no no no no no no, please God, no

"gonna get a 2:1 gonna get a 2:1 do some fucking work greg"

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:53 (twenty years ago)

"It really doesn't matter. Boys are twats, it's in the past, you're better off without him, or him, or him. Now change the subject you stupid ho."

that's a question, i guess, but it's rhetorical.

You're allowed to include things you ask yourself most often, too.

(I suspect, going by the thread so far, for most people that will be "why the fuck did you just do that?")

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:56 (twenty years ago)

Why do I even bother?

― Rumpie, Friday, 8 April 2005 07:58 (twenty years ago)

"Stop being so positive."

(on a slightly more cheerful note, before the last two months it was probably "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 bollocksdroppedthem 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 bollocks 1-2 etc repeat") (5 ball is hard!)

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 8 April 2005 07:59 (twenty years ago)

i mainly just sing the Meowmix theme in my head

― $V£N! (blueski), Friday, 8 April 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

I swerve between:

"La la la, I'm so bored, la la la, I'm so bored"

"Stop it John, just stop it."

"Phroar, look at her arse, isn't that the peachiest arse ever, my word."

"I wonder what to eat tonight"

These are a few of my favourite thoughts.

me, i've been singing the vonage jingle to myself nonstop.

― jody the country girl doll (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 8 April 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

either "They think I'm weird" or Downtown by Petula Clark. It seems to be the default setting in my head.

― Alix with an I ? (alix), Friday, 8 April 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

"For fuck sake just get to sleep!"

I think it too loud and it keeps me awake.

"stay away from ilx"

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 8 April 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

"stay away from ilx"

-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), April 8th, 2005. (nostudium) (later)

Haha - same here!

Also: "You HAVE to clean this bathtub this weekend, do you hear me? Uaaagh! Mold! " and "When are we running away to join the circus again?"

― Vic (Vic), Friday, 8 April 2005 10:18 (twenty years ago)

i'm never drinking again or should i ask her out!

"when am i going to stop winning at things?"

Waking up: 'Only (x) more days til the weekend'
At work: 'Only (x) more hours til 5:30'
Doing errands in my neighborhood after work seeing hot chicks: 'Oh My'
Late in my apartment: 'I wonder where (x) is right now'

― 57 7th (calstars), Friday, 8 April 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

"i hope i get to communicate with (x) later"

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 8 April 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

(x) - (y) != (z)

― 57 7th (calstars), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

I guess the top few would be "What the FUCK is wrong with you," "Your life is never going to get any better, so what's the point" and "You don't have to kill yourself right now - you can still do it later/tomorrow".

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

Those three are all big ones for me, too.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

I mostly just tell myself to stop worrying about whatever thing I'm worrying about that day.

― Leon WK (Ex Leon), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

It's when that last one is followed by "why wait?" that things get really dangerous.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Mmmm

"She's never going to go out with you, she's gay for a start"

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

I almost always have a song playing in my head. Lately, it's been "It's an M.I.A. thang, I've got the bombs to make you blow, I've got the beats to make you baaaaaaanggg."

I'm always telling myself not to worry so much, while simultaneously making five different TO DO lists in my head.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

I think "why do I bother" and "would anyone miss me if I was dead" are high up my list, along with "I know my wife doesn't understand me, so why does that still bother me".

What a maudlin lot we are on ILX.
