despite me feeling like i'm george costanza and "relationship jess" and "friend jess" are coming into contact with each other...

the divine nancy b. currently feels apprehensive about coming out of lurker status and posting more frequently to the twin beeyoth (even though i dunno how often she'd post to ilm anyway, as all she likes is bad indie pop.) she think's she not "cool enough." which is rubbish, as i have told her, not the least of the reasons being that we're all a buncha geeks, dweebs, feebs anyway, and people (including muggins here) have made more of an ass of themselves on these boards than she ever could. so give her reasons to make her presence known.

new shyness is for wussies answers!

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She must never come here.

― Nick, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nancy please join us so jess makes no more aural sex jokes.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NANCY COME AND TAKE YOUR MEDICINE WITH THE REST!!!

― WE EAT NEWBIES, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Nancy. The best way to make us like you is to post something embarrassing about Jess.

― Tom, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm a pathetic, bitchy, unfunny, attention-seeking nobody. If I can come 17th on November's statscock list, anyone can!

― Mark C, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hush dastoor, you bridge troll.

my ear fucking jokes will only be likely to increase, btw.

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nope, I'm a grouch.

― Sarah, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i hate you all.

where's gale when you need her?

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Post, Nancy! Welcome here! They're only joking, bless 'em! ;-)

― Will, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is Nancy "NancyDrew"? If so I already like her.

If not, then she needs to start posting b/c I'm sure we'll like her. We love Jess!

― Samantha, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe i shouldn't be so scared if you are all so fond of jess, who even as a big 23 yr old grown up still snuggles up to a lil' teddy bear every single evening. (and sometimes, twice a day!)

hmmm.

― nancy b., Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess is smashing, and you're bound to be even better. Welcome from another Johnny-come-lately!

― Mark C, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This thread is very sweet. The world needs more sweet threads.

― Trevor, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Seconded, Trevor!

― Will, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not a loser, but I play one on ILX. Anyway, welcome to the fold Nancy.

― Sterling Clover, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

seems to me jess, like you're asking us to spread a little love = to be HIPPIES! you HIPPY!

welcome, Nancy - this is what it's like all the time round here! :)

― katie, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hippy love!?!?

eeek!! i gotta get out of here....

― nancy b., Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh hush. this is actually one of the most un-hippy riddled places i've ever seen. tom and his beard excepted of course.

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bah, ignore Katie. Her brain's been addled by vegan soya milk.

― RickyT, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hip hip hooray for Nancy, on her magical ILx introduction day! :)

Just post, post, post is what I say!

― james, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What Jess doesn't realize, of course, is that "punk rock" (or indie poop, or indie ruck, or what have you) is comprised of undercover HIPPIES.

And hello to Nancy!

― David Raposa, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hello, Nancy. Nice to see the growing Northwest contigency around here. When is Sire Jess gonna make it out to these them parts, hmmmmm?

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this isn't gonna get all PDA-ish is it? If not, then all da best to newcomer Nancy (formerly "olympia girl", right?). NB: What's the teddy's name, Jessediah? Bearington M. Mofuzzy?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You've got to elbow your way in or slip in, whichever you prefer, but being "cool" isn't really part of the equation. Unless you're Ronan or Suzy and you feel the need to exude it in every post.

― Maria, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry if that's how it seems, I don't mean to sound like that.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hello and welcome, Nancy. Erm, if I count as enough of a regular to say that, anyway. And please feel free to post lots and lots about liking "bad indie pop" so I won't feel so alone.

PS I am the least cool person EVER and I enjoy being here, so you have no need to worry. In the extremely unlikely event that you post anything perceived as uncool, you could always just pretend it was actually written by me except I was so stupid that I forgot my name and address and wrote yours instead and I'm sure all will be well...

― Rebecca, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Welcome Nancy. Jess is quite correct about us all being geeks, dweebs, feebs (or at least in my case).

― stevo, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I myself am an impressive chunk of man-feeb!

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, I love you, Ronan. I wouldn't say it if I didn't. I love Suzy too.

― Maria, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I love me too.....NO wait I don't. I don't.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Everybody! :) Hi Nancy and please know that everyone here welcomes YOU with open arms. Everybody I have met on this list are wonderful folks, they are showing you there humor so you won't be shocked like I was at the beginning. Lol Please join us if you feel that you would like to talk with someone. Hugs Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Nancy, it's about time you showed up!

― rainy, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm more of a goth than a geek according to those online tests! (which I take as 100% reliable! :)

― james, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

IS MY MEAL READY YET?

― WE EAT NEWBIES, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you hush.

she is on her way home right now, so she will probably not post anything further this evening.

― jess, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Welcome Nancy! Don't ever worry about not being "cool enough" to post here because it has been Proven By Science that I am one of the goofiest dorks to ever walk the earth and yet somehow even I am sorta accepted here. And you're bound to be way cooler than me.

― Nicole, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nicole is of course NOT A GOOFY DORK, though she'll never believe me. ;-) Hurrah for Nancy! Let goodness shine down. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hello, fellow Nancy. I'm also new here and have been apprehensive about posting. But someone said recently they'd prefer it if people posted rather than lurked so I decided I'd pipe up.

I like this board very much, although it is fearfully time-consuming.

― Nancy Drew, Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am home safe now, and feeling quite welcome, though absolutely wiped from six hours on the greyhound. (ergh.)

thanks for the hospitality. i am no longer so spooked about being oh so very geeky.

― nancy b., Monday, 10 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

six hours onna greyhound - even the whippet fuckaz ov bedlington divint manage that - you and your stamina iz most welkum!!!!!!!!!

― , Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi to Nancydrew while we're at it. Her posts are grate.

DONT POST ABOUT BAD INDIE POP PLEASE!!!

I want as many people to post as possible so there's more people to sponge off when Philip Greenspun hits us with the mother of all bills.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

take my money but not my bad indie pop?

pah! i think not.

― nancy b., Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

tom has plenty of disagreeable indie pop anyway. he's the type of guy who would play belle and sebastian at a club night. eesh.

nancy, are you ever gonna post on any *other* threads? ;)

― jess, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She posted on the "I need direction" ones. However I was shocked and appalled by the sexually graphic nature of that post. Suffice to say the thread should now have be called what I've been thinking about saying it sounds like in my head for the last few days.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ronan yore brane is on drugs if that last sentence is anything to go by

― mark s, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was going to be crude and come out and say but that would make it even less funny. I TRY, OH GOD DO I TRY TO BE HUMOROUS. I only amuse myself. which is nice sometimes.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ps hullo you nancies

― mark s, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well hello, mr. sinker.

― nancy b., Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, hello from me also.

― Nancy Drew, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hello Nancy Drew, your posts rock. Hello again other Nancy, your posts would rock so post away. I was mostly joking about the bad indie pop. I mean, I love it and I'd love not to be the only one round these parts *weeps, violins start playing* too, but hey. 3y3 ph34r the WRATH of TOM. And his beard. Especially his beard. Eek.

I am probably not doing very well at convincing anyone that they aren't about to walk into a big cliquey minefield of injokes (mm mix those metaphors), but it's not, honest, no proper cliques would have me.

― Rebecca, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

urgent and key task for the nancies: in roles of attentive beloved and girl detective respectively

WHAT IS SIZE OF JESS HARVELL-HEAD?

― mark s, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do we really want to know? That aura of mystery will be shattered forever, and it will stop us from hoping, wondering, fearing about what it's really like.

― Nicole, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmm....i know the answer. and it promises to be quite interesting.

is it possible i could get goodies for such a thing?

― nancy b., Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Which head are we actually talking about?

― David Raposa, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― jess, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess' head. Duh. Pay attention, dave.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the contents of this head remain classified. as well as it's size and location.

― jess, Friday, 14 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― nancy b., Friday, 14 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)
