I'm sitting in an internet cafe/coffee shop on University Place and combing through Monster.Com and Media Bistro for job leads (`cos I'm an unemployed bum at the moment), and I'm staving off depression by trawling around ILM/ILE. I took most of 2006 and the first half of `07 off from the proceedings when my then new and seemingly promising job took up most of my time, but I'm astounded by the sheer volume of comments I posted between 2001 and the tail end of 2005. My job at the time had me working two overnight shifts a week, which explains some of it I suppose. But really. Why didn't more people tell me to shut up and go get a life?
ugh.

I might have been a more interesting poster a few years ago but in a train-wreck fashion. Do not want.

It's kind of jarring, esp. since the oldest ones were from when I was 17. I started a thread about how much I hated hacky sacks that I am kind of afraid to revisit.
― Abbott, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago)
I love rereading my old posts because there was usually some insanely funny shit surrounding them.
― HI DERE, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago)
There's never anything wrong with hating hacky sacks.
― Pleasant Plains, Monday, 1 October 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago)
No, but I discuss my horrible first boyfriend who only played hacky sack (and later disc golf)...he is a man I do not care to think about. My hatred for the game has only burned hotter over the years.
― Abbott, Monday, 1 October 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago)
First three posts otm.

Early days I had some pre-ILX life/ideas to draw on, now all I can say is otm when appropriate.

Back in 2k1 it was 1 1 2 3 5 was my user name. I was free of both letters and preconceived gender (tho most of the time no preconceived gender = everyone assumes you're a guy).

old ned post from tuomas' thread:
In America, you have the right to bear arms to shoot any family member who dares appear before you naked. You are not allowed to fuck the corpse, though. -- Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, November 4, 2003 9:52 AM (3 years ago) Bookmark Link

I agree with this, it's obviouly because male has always been and still is the norm.

Dude yeah I thought so until my ding-dong went down the toilet that fateful day. I am sure it is spawning mega ding-dongs in some municipal sewer system.

Is that a quote from some impromptu Lou Reed stage banter?

How do you reassure your spouse after said spouse has shared a bed with a masturbating college friend without dissolving into a fit of hysterical laughter?
― HI DERE, Monday, 1 October 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago)
Whoa did one of my ding-dong spawn crawl into Lou Reed ala Cronenberg's "Shivers"?

oh man, my posts here are a years-long chronicle of mental illness, with a few flashes of wit. I do not ever want to see most of it ever again.

Because you're cranky enough already.
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 1 October 2007 20:14 (seventeen years ago)
Classic nor dud really. Sometimes I cringe though, especially the ILM posts. Oh DERE oh DERE.
I <3 your posts Alex! Old 'n' new ones!
