if you are

― anthony, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

lots of practice + very shallow in the first place

― mark s, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just ate one quarter of my cheese sandwich that I packed for lunch! It is actually quite good! If I save money by making my sandwiches that allows me to justify spending money on a packet of crisps yes?

― Sarah, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish I'd packed some sandwiches. As it is I must go to the horrid canteen and eat something horrid.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have no sandwiches at all but still I am happy for in 12 hours and 20 minutes I can drink alcohol again, hurray.

― Emma, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am happy because I am tired. I plan to eat some rich food and then have a glorious technicolour nightmare to dwell on tomorrow.

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I feel for you Tom. My sandwich caused me unforseen happiness! Due to rushing I could not put cucumber in which I thought would lessen the sandwich when it came to the time of eating, but it has not!

It seems that I am incapable of waiting till lunchtime whenever I bring my own sandwiches! Gah. THEIR SIREN CALL IS A CURSE.

― Sarah, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I cannot bring sandwiches from home as there is no fridge in this office and on the rare occasions when I have brought them in by lunchtime they are all sweaty and warm, ick. However when I buy a sandwich from M&S or wherever they are overchilled and I am always so famished I cannot wait 15 minutes for them to warm up. I am destined to a lifetime of sandwiches at the wrong blimming temperature.

And yet despite this I am quite happy.

― Emma, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You'll be happy in your work if you're in love.

― Michael Daddino, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's not true. I find being in love a largely miserable experience.

― N., Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because it's a snow day and I don't have to worry about not doing my history homework or studying for my test or learning my mock trial part because no one's going to ask until tomorrow!

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

while on the topic of love, there was a song which featured the line 'the greatest love of all... lalalalala" and now I cant figure out what the greatest love of all is. Any suggestions? can you identify the next part of the lyrics? someone?

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What, you mean Whitney? Learning to love yourself, or some such egomaniacal concept.

― N., Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Certainly when I learned how to make love to myself I discovered that was the greatest love of all. Or at least I makes do with it. Which is possibly why I am happy.

― Pete, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmm.. "Because the greatest love of all is happening to me / I found the greatest love of all inside of me / The greatest love of all is easy to achieve".

Pete's thoughts prompted me to check this part of the lyric, which in conjunction with the 'learning to love yourself' conclusion makes me think that the song really is about masturbation for gurls after all.

― N., Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because L likes me but thinks I'm a psychopath cos of what I said last week.

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I'm not sad, cos I choose not to be"

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am worried about L liking psychopaths. Does she write to people on Death Row?

― N., Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Erm, she doesn't like psychopaths. See also here.

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's raining, which makes me content

― goeff, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You'll be happy in your work if you're in love.

ARGH. Supposedly that's the MST3K DVD...

Happy...too early in the morning to decide. I'm awake, at least, and it looks like it'll be a clear day. These are positive things.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ice storm!

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

cos i've finished updating and cataloguing our fecking font library. now i can get back to um... er...

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I'm not at work.

― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You'll be pleased to know that it's absolutlely pissing down outside and my brolly is WRECKED (and it's M+S, pah). Now when do I get my Ice Storm?

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Um, find a mutant who can control the weather and have her make it colder.

― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cos of the girlz.

― Ally, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm vaguely happy cos Mrs. Welthorpe indirectly agreed with me, although she only went so far as to say she was agreeing with Bloom, but I haven't read his views on Freud, so as far as I know she was agreeing with me!

― youn, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm in love with your feet.

― Ally C, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BECAUSE OF THE GIRLZ GODDAMNIT. I love you jus.

― ally, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just discovered a 5,000 year old book called the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra and successfully turned the first "key" I tried. This proved to me that truth wasn't in philosophies or "knowledge" but in experience. Knowledge is convincing, but experience ultimately changes a person whereas people who subscribe to certain beliefs aren't changed in any way; skepticism will always remain. There is a difference in logical belief and experiential belief. Intelligence is a very hard thing to dissect and it is more frustrating than satisfying to do so in many ways. As one philosopher put it, "I once thought philosophy was ultimate education producing the ultimate answers. Now I see that every answer leads to more questions and I can not recommend it." Everything people believe and convey in words is a philosophy and could never convey truth, just a bit of it. It makes me very happy to realize there is no truth.

― Nude Spock, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because I just bought a jar of Vicks VapoRub. And it smells good.

― kevin enas, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

parce-ce que je suis FOUCHÉ, totalement. je sais je sais. mais...

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"fouché" = "FAUCHÉ" mais bien sur

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Kitten Poster, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This reminds me of that other Whitney Huston song about how everything on Earth looks peaceful from a distance, and how God is watching from a distance. The conclusion I draw is: therefore, God doesn't know what is going on here.

― DeRayMi, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEE EE me, but that is Bette Midler thank you very much!

― Queen G, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Alan, that's the cutest thing EVER.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Uhhh Buffy spoilage for episode 20 of season 6. Uhhhh it looks like it gets GOOD!

― Sarah, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's all cute, Dan, until someone loses an eye.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

About time after 120 episodes... Christ - if we waited six series before something started to get good then they would never have cancelled Street Hawk.

― Pete, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

They cancelled Street Hawk?

― N., Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BAH! Not that I will get to see season 6 for ages - unless the House of Mentalism gets SKY!

― Sarah, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

five months pass...

Last night I discovered I can pick up a signal with my ITV Digital box, huzzah! Which I thought would be impossible from my ground floor flat, but no.

(The only channel it actually picks up is BBC FOUR, and the BBC radio stations they've put on there, but still)

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 14:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Because I went to the pub at lunchtime, have just fixed a very irritating bug and am listening to Vitalic.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 14:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not actually happy right now per se, but I'm feeling a bit better than I was.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Coz I'm in lurve and have just bought a new house and I'm living in sin.....bliss
You can all vomit now.

― Plinky (Plinky), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 14:43 (twenty-three years ago)

*vomits blood*!!!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 15:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes! Also, to Ned, yeah.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost, though of course I am appropriately supportive of Ally's healthiness.

That was supposed to sound less creepy.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Weirdo. I bet you're shirtless at work right now too.

You know, this is just something that I'm kind of hunching on, right, but I don't think that's you, per se, Andrew.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah fair enough:

http://www.mitte-west.de/dailydirt/bon1.jpg

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought this was you?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no response to that apart from mailing you scorpions.

I would like to note that the 1000th post on this thread was the Giant Gerbil => all is right with the world.

Jaysus!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, never mind then. I thought I might be getting something good.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Cuz I finally got rid of the shitty chair I had and got another one without the STEEL armrests that were making my elbows sore and plus now I can sit here cross-legged in my chair finally! Oh god the amount of pleasure I've gotten out of this tiny change is a good indicator of how shit my life is/how easily I am to please.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Because I did something today that could get me fired but I don't care anymore. It's nice to be able to just stop worrying and not give a fuck.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

What'd you do?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't even say.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, national security.

― David. (Cozen), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay mark!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 08:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Cos I've been working all summer and I'm fucking rich, and this weekend I'm going to spend like an idiot, starting tonight with a clothes/cd/booze splurge.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I am happy because my mum & dad just turned up at my work with a big bouquet of flowers & a bottle of champagne to say congratulations!! :-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm happy because

- We have some SHELVES so our flat will not be a tip finally.

- We have some BABY RABBITS and they are endlessly fascinating.

- I am getting married in TEN WEEKS and I have not had any kind of second thoughts, doubts, nerves, etc. etc. whatsoever, in fact I am grinning inside the whole time.

- I am having a BARBEQUE this weekend!

- I have seen Alan's designs for NOW ZERO.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Can someone send flowers and/or baby rabbits to my workplace please? Much obliged.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Weird - Pinkpanther's parents just turned up at my office. Nice people. Very ordinary ;)

Archel - rabbits only if you'll take them skinned and spatchcocked.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 09:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, we only want live rabbits, ickle fwuffy bunnies!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

"spatchcocked"

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Because I think I'm working up a head of steam on this research work that I've been lazing over and I seem to be making some sense of progress.

And I'm feeling alright, y'know kinda happy, lonely, a bit upset that I can't shake this ilx habit, and my bed feels so big, but I feel like I'm moving forward whatever that means.

Oh, and I have a crush but I don't know her number or e-mail & I've not seen her in 6 months so I can't ask her out, but I guess that means I'm healing up.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not unhappy.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 22 August 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

That's crazy, H! The only time I see wildlife these days is when it's dead on the side of the road (sad but true). I need to go to the National Zoo at some point.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 22 August 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Because my mum phoned me up today to tell me she'd opened my mail and I'd won a prize for my Legal Theory class of last year, the Theodore Sumthin Sumthin Prize for Jurisprudence and that the cheque (amount not specified) will be forwarded to me soon - wtf?! I never expected this. I'm chuffed.

― David. (Cozen), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Well done David! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, Nicole. : )

I am shaking. Why can't I stop shaking? Physically shaking.

― David. (Cozen), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

And for the first time in about a month I feel genuine happiness and just ambling around the city for 30 mins. there it strikes sometimes how pretty it is and how it occasionally seems to shine on me and I don't know if this date will work out but at least I've had a week's worth of sweet anticipation and... god, I'm nervous though, should probably refrain from posting personal information on ilx and actually try the hang of Josh's suit ("I'm doing a good job of staying away from places on the internet that are bad for me") but I'm weak but I'm happy, so yay woo ha.

― David. (Cozen), Friday, 22 August 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Time for a new thread, I think.
