hes an arrogant, annoying attention-seeking, rude little pratt. he is impossible to get along with. he's not even very good in bed. why do i still wanna jump his bones?

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ans to thread question = marry him
ans to other question = you are very extremely bored and need the electric crackle of rubbish romance to push you back into ordinary-life equilibrium *between* fun and tedium?

― mark s, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

on ally mcbeal last night her therapist said she should wank her lust away. well thats a silly suggestion, innit? i don't want to intensify my lust, i want to KILL IT!!!!

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm not extremely bored. i do have a life outside of this computer lab, y'know. really.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I dunno if it's that silly, 'cuz it might burn it out temporarily & free yer mind to get on w/ whatever you want to get on w/. that works for me, sometimes anyway. Really I'm just posting to say yer mp3s (ld50 & murdering monsters) fucking rock, di.

― Norman Phay, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

he has all the physical characteristics i admire in a boy... big eyes, long eyelashes, receding hairline, pot belly. *sigh*. maybe i should imagine him with boogers all over his face?

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh and did i say thank you? don't blame me, duckling is the lead singer.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

marrying him could work. but that would violate one of my Principles.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what do you think, rainy?

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

um, I don't really know. I am no good at controlling crushes. Maybe avoidance? Or else the opposite, see him so much that he loses his mystique.

― rainy, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

perhaps i should try harder to avoid him.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"he has all the physical characteristics i admire in a boy... big eyes, long eyelashes, receding hairline, pot belly."

di's one of the good ones.

also, mr. k-rad is right: yr empeetwees fuckin rawk.

― jess, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

di's one of the good ones.

Very much so! It is for this reason that we must help her out of her conundrum. Hm. Imagine him looking like Tom Cruise seeking to take your virtue. That'll put you off your cookies.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm blushing. y'all are too nice.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And damn straight she and her bandmates rock. Yay me for getting to see them later in the year! :-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey jess when you said also, mr. k-rad is right: i thought you were gonna tell me to go home and have a wank!

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

tom cruise makes me shudder, you could be onto something nedster.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hurrah! Success! Now imagine him playing a vampire.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no that won't work, vampires are sexy. except for kiefer.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

why not! wanks all around!

imagine him looking like tom cruise greased with i can't believe its not butter and wearing a leopard print loincloth. 'at should do it.

― jess, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Wearing tight briefs. Yeah, that's it.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

would anyone like to read about how insufferable this boy really is?

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes, I would.

― rainy, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ah but you probably have if you have read my web diary.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i second rainy's suggestion about spending too much time around him. it's the only thing that works.

― Maria, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Really u should just over-lap him with a new crush. We will be #1 on dunedin chart soon! To much olympics for me.

― ducklingmonster, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

replacing one crush with another doesn't work for me. see i am capable of multiple overlapping crushes. actaully, i have a total of about 4 or 5 at the moment. and i don't think seeing lots of him would work, cos see i DO see lots of him, i try to avoid him but he even turns up at places that i go specifically to avoid him.

hey so duckling you must be laughing at me right now huh? i mean that guy is a bit of a dick, innit he?

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What? You keep telling me he is a dick. I couldn't comment. I dont know him. If I said "matty matty dipped in fatty" then you will end up going out with him and my comment will hang in the air like a smelly parp. I dont want to disapprove of any ones romantic choices on today of all days.

― ducklingmonster, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

go out with him?!?! okay the thought of that has officially put me off him. case closed.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NOT!

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought I had over stated that just enough that you would get angry instead of lusty.

― ducklingmonster, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i knew you were up to sumthing, you trickster.

― di, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it."

But you went to bed with him and you say he's not even very good in bed? Hmmm, well just go ahead and jump his bones again anyway. Maybe Mr. Wilde's maxim will kick in at some point, and you'll be cured of this madness. Or maybe you will return to normal when your ovulation cycle is done.

― Melinda Mess-Injure, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

shuttup! i'm ba-yootiful!

― matty, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe if i ignore him he will disappear.

― di, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmm, well just go ahead and jump his bones again anyway.

hmm i don't think i wanna do that. he's very arrogant already, he doesn't deserve my validation.

― di, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hmm i don't think i wanna do that. he's very arrogant already, he doesn't deserve my validation.

If you do it for selfish reasons, you're not validating him, merely using him. It's only a big deal if *YOU* think it's a big deal. Screw whatever he may think.

But if you can't get past the idea that you'd still be validating him, suffer and just avoid him completely until you regain your sanity. Good luck!

― Melinda Mess-Injure, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Di, have you considered hypnosis? I'm serious.

― N., Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

emigrate?

― chris, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

excepting that i don't like being away from my regular hangouts, avoiding him is working splendidly.

― di, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it seeems i have a serious problem with despicable boys

― di, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Smoke pot.

― maryann, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pot is boring.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am giving up boys. yukk.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What is it Houellebecq in 'Atomised' says about feminists and their tastes in despicable men? I seem to remember it was wacko but quite funny.

― N., Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

don't call me a feminist, you feminist.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am having giving up boys thrust upon me as my (male) colleagues have pronounced that I am a lesbian because 'you don't go on about men's arses all the time Emma'. Hmmm. Their logic astounds me.

― Emma, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Most men don't have arses. They're not bubbalicious.

― Nicole, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite. They don't have arses, they just ARE arses. Bah.

― Emma, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

arses are mnot al they are cracked up to be, hahaha. no buttt seriously, i like nobutts. i like fatt boys and skinnny boys. no defnition thank you veryv much.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Try to understand that the person and the identity you thought they might have been was created inside of your own head and that the identity you imagined could be used as a template to look for something better, perhaps?

Goodbye,

― , Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had the why don't you talk about boys bums conversation today too.

Must be something in the air.

― Anna, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's really not a lot to say about them is there?

― Emma, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No. They are bums. They do not show in my radar. End.

I would like to say this is because I am not shallow and think only of their minds. This is a lie. It's because I always seem to fancy skinny boys who do not have bums.

Did your lot finish up by saying 'Go on, be a lesbian, it would make you much more fun?'

― Anna, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Work out something to do in front of him that would be so embarrassing that you'd never want to see his face again.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This of course could include sex.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

did it last night. so much for avoidance. liquor is evil. i went to this bar called pop with my friends and HE was there and i shoulda left, but instead i made a fuckin BEE-LINE for him. and threw myself at him, and he started playing those dumbass "its all the same to me" boy games that arrogant wankers play. jesus christ, as if i don't have a steady supply of GOOD sex coming from somewhere else.

pffft! so yeah now i REALLY think hes a dick. i don't even think hes sexy anymore.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what, did it DID IT did it? i am speechless

― mark s, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What did you think of Pop, Di?

― rainy, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DI GO POP?

(Sorry, Ned isn't around to make obvious indie puns, so I'm taking over..)

― Brian MacDonald, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i bet it was a noisy mess.

(and there's jess with the assist. a truly stunning display of bargain basement punnage.)

― jess, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

di on pop: see ned down under thread.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no i didn't fuck him, he was all like "oh maybe" so i picked up my jacket and left. but do you wanna know something wierd? he found my webdiary - i dunno HOW the fuck, but he knows i described him as a chimpanzee.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes i have gone pop. my new direction is britney spears impersonations. oh wait i've been doing that for ages.

― di, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Di, if I could get 1000 people to each chip in a dollar to get you to visit the states, would you accept?

― Brian MacDonald, Friday, 15 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

question: 1000 people who want me in the states, or 1000 people who want me outta nz?!

― di, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but do you wanna know something wierd? he found my webdiary

He is obviously obsessed with you. Either that or the link to your webdiary is being passed around NZ as the new laugh-at-the-netfreak laugh.

― N., Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

in that case, time i think for more quotes from le Weblog de Nique de Stoor

― mark s, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Later.

Does anyone think my hypnosis idea is non-wacko?

― N., Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no.

― di, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

my new crush is a gay boy, i'm convincing myself he is suggestible because he always sits on my knee and lets me suck his face.

― di, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"suck his face"..."jump his bones"...di, i think you wuz brought up by SAILORS.
by the way, do people say "jump her bones"...i mean is it actually about "boners". i don't understand. on campus today i saw a boy with a t-shirt that said "i just cracked a big woody"

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Sunday, 17 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sailors or demons

― mark s, Monday, 18 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"suck his face"..."jump his bones"...di, i think you wuz brought up by SAILORS.

just because i have the UTERUS to be vulgar. pffft! stop being mean to me y'all, or i'll make you throw you overboard into a firey pit.

― di, Monday, 18 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

last night i was at the terminals show and matty bounded up to me and asked for my number. silly fucker so missed that bus!

― di, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

shag him and spend time around him in the days following. guaranteed to reveal all sorts of disgusting personal habits/thoughts/features that will repel you for life.

― petra jane, Friday, 8 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

its okay, i don't want to root him anymore. even though he tried to take me out to dinner last night. ermmm sorry i've got more important things to do like smokin da hooch with my friends, thank you very much!

― di, Saturday, 9 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know how well this will relate to the thread topic, but.....a few hours ago I just did it with a 6-months-pregnant chick.....oh don't worry the baby's daddy is long gone....and of course I packed the plastic.....no strings attached.....it was tres surreal.....showing, but not big as a house yet....overwhelming scent of elementary school hallway/peanut butter sandwich/PISS....you know what I mean....whoa. I swear to God I wanted to start busting a freestyle rap about her similarity to Ethiopian Wormbelly Kids....arms and torso were still very skinny.

how do you stop having a crush on a person you emphatically DO NOT want to have a crush on?

Apparently, I have no idea!

― Ramosi, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh get this.....I was still wearing my t-shirt, sweater, watch, socks, and baseball hat? (not sure)......next time I'm going to see if I can get away with all clothes still on, eating a pizza sub and sipping on a Korean carbonated milky-Sprite drink (they are called Lotte "Milkis")

― Ramosi, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

and of course I packed the plastic

Can someone tell me what this means? It might come in useful, or something.

― N., Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tsk, N. Condoms, though presumably to prevent the spread of bugs as opposed to pregnancy, given the situation.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well that was what confused me. Yeah, v.responsible and all, but there was something about the way Ramosi said it that made me think he was worried he might somehow make twins.

― N., Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey! stop hijacking my thread! grrr! ;)

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Di have a dance-off with him ... oh wait u and Liz did and won hands down with a simple but drunken waltz

― ducklingmonster, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes well we weren't trying to pass boxer shorts off as hotpants like his dance partner. and we got da moves, we don't just vaguely motion around trying to look hip.

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey duckling, whaddaya rekkin about being on the ILx compilation?

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what is this your personal thread? Yeah we should be on ILx copm. so long as we dont have to listen to the cd agin

― ducklingmonster, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe we could do something new. like, not LD50 but i dunno, something else. i believe we have till may.

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no i'm just being an attention whore.

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― ducklingmonster, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Back to the thread question:
just *do* the person and stop whining about it.
if they say no, find another crush.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Better or worse than crushing on someone who used to reciprocate, but no longer does?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

if they don't reciprocate, you just find another one.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

orbit, this thread is from 18 months ago. i think its fairly safe to say i have stopped whining about it. i revived this thread to laugh at myself, i was hoping everyone else would find it funny too.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

um, i wasn't saying that in a mean-spirited way. i was saying it a cheerful, hopeful way.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm really glad i don't drink anymore.
