i'm michael. i'm in an office with plenty of windows 80 feet above an ncp car park. i feel like this (jittery) because i'm off out clubbing-it tonight and that always makes me feel this way.

I'm Andrew. I'm in my bedroom. I don't really feel like anything in particular. I used to really like that Jesus Jones song "International Bright Young Thing".

i'm gabe. i'm in my room. i feel like this because i smoked twenty cigarettes today, and its 6:34 am, and whenever i drink this much beer my organs feel like their turning to mush. i'm not sure which ones though.

I'm Ronan, I'm in my living room, I feel curious as to where Michael is going. I also get that jittery feeling, I find on Saturday mornings I have a perma-grin in anticipation of the night.

ronan, check your 'being drunk, classic or dud' thread.

You are Number 6. In the Village. That would be telling.

I'm Elisabeth. I'm in the lounge. I feel like this (slightly jittery) because I think up dumb ideas to scare myself.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 4 October 2002 10:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham. Adeplhi Library, Salford University. See here.

haha i always wondered why there was never an episode where the prisoner laughs at number 2 for being called "number 2".

I'm Andrew. I'm in my bedroom surrounded by crap. I feel this way because I've got an exam and an assignment due within the next 3 days and am totally unprepared for both.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 4 October 2002 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I am Julia. I am in an Alexandria office that overlooks the Potomac River. I feel this way because it has been several hours since my breakfast.

i'm jess. i am sitting at a desk covered in post-it notes, cds, one teen spirit deodorant, cups, an empty bowl covered in gunk, a transit guide, various drugs, and pens. i feel this way because i am stupid and headstrong and i bring it on myself.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 4 October 2002 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm another Andrew. I'm in my living room. I'm slightly antsy 'cos I'm waiting for the man (to switch his friggin' mobile on.)

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 4 October 2002 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm cameron. i'm at work in the library, under the fluoros, listening to the humming machines, hoping people won't bug me with their perfectly reasonable dumm requests. i'm still feeling the codeine in the painkillers i took even though i didn't really have a headache. (it was a pre-emptive strike.)

― cameron, Friday, 4 October 2002 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Martin, I'm at home watching TOTP and Oasis are covering My Generation. It seems to be the best thing they've ever done, in that it is a second-rate imitation of the Who (musically but not vocally) with a great song, rather than a second-rate imitation of, say, the Beatles with one of Oasis's own songs.

I didn't know who was #1 and when Lisa Snowdon (I think it was) said it was a song written by the greatest songwriting duo ever, sung by the year's biggest selling artists, for a moment I hoped the Sugababes had covered Paint It Black, but no.

I am William. I am in the studios of BURN FM, the Birmingham University Radio Network. That being the Birmingham in England, not the Birmingham in Alabama in The United States Of America. I am feeling... a bit bored, yet somewhat uplifted cos I'm listening to the Automation and it's brought up 'Hate Is All You Need' by The Delgados which if they release it will be the best single of the year off the best album of the year and they'll get on Top Of The Pops having gone straight in at, oh, number 20 or thereabouts (why my fantasies are so restricted by reality I wish I could change) and I'll start weeping with joy as I watch it on the telly while dancing badly round the room to the bemusement of my housemates but they will respect my glee and not turn over to Coronation Street at least not till it's finished cos then it'll be some shite like Starsailor or whatever and I won't care cos I will have gone back up to my room where I will have put Hate on and be air flailing to The Light Before We Land just like in the olllld days...

That said, also quite cheerful cos I'm back on the radio on Monday nite. But none of you lot will be able to listen, though you probably wouldn't want to. Not in a way that's synonymous with you lot being crap, you understand, just...

I'm Ellie. I'm still in my office writing about ecological utopias at 8.15 on a Friday evening. I'm feeling just amazed and appalled at myself because even with deadlines looming, even with a rest of a life to go home to, I can only make myself write in the late afternoons and evenings (also sneakily a bit delighted because it's finally coming out good).

― Ellie (Ellie), Friday, 4 October 2002 18:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Nory. I'm in my itty bitty cubicle here at work. I feel this way because I've had a pleasantly productive day today, and I effectively helped some authors deal with their book-related crises, which always makes me feel good (and relieved). I also feel this way because in approx. 2 hours, the weekend will begin.

― nory (nory), Friday, 4 October 2002 19:14 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm donna, its morning here now and i am at my desk in my living room. my son is having his morning nap so i have turned off the music we were playing and being saturday it is peaceful outside with the casual weekend sounds you tend to get.
i'm hungry and i have had 2 coffees already but no breakfast so my stomach is making noises i dont like much.
the day looks to be a fine one with crispy air and sunny skies.
i feel just fine, but then i am totally in love with my son so every day is just fine even when it is a crap day :-)
fine fine fine..............
FINE!!
just kidding.

i'm maria. i'm in the living room with my brother watching tv on my left. i feel like this because i've been trying hard at everything (academically and socially) to little success, but at least it's the weekend and I get a day and a half of rest.

― Maria (Maria), Friday, 4 October 2002 19:43 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Michaelangelo. I'm at Web2Zone, an internet cafe in the East Village. I'm impatient because the friend who was supposed to meet me here 45 minutes ago hasn't shown up.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 4 October 2002 20:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Nicole. I just got back to my apartment after a doctor's appointment and am checking my email (and also job leads, though not much there, le sigh). I'm tired and indifferent because I didn't get enough sleep.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 4 October 2002 20:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Jody, I'm in my bedroom, and I feel this way because my computer speakers suddenly decided to stop working.

― Jody Beth Rosen, Friday, 4 October 2002 20:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I am Ned. I am at work at UCI's Main Library at the Loan Desk, being quite bored. I feel both very tired and somewhat sick to my stomach courtesy of a rough night punctuated with a glorious technicolour yawn or two. However, weekend soon = Ned happy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 October 2002 21:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Aaron. I'm housesitting for some people and those people have 3 dogs, and I am a cat person. I feel jittery because I got a large Coke at the cineplex only because with Large Coke You Get Hot Dog for Only $1. Large Cokes are pretty darn large at the cineplex. I saw Red Dragon and it was my least favorite of the series.

― Aaron A., Saturday, 5 October 2002 01:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Arthur. I'm in my apartment in fantastic LA, waiting to hear back from my old boyfriend to see if he wants to hang out. I feel like this because everyone I usually hang out with on Friday night is either a)sick, b)studying for their Ph.D. interview thing, c) hanging out with their family or d) not returning my calls. But I have used my time constructively--Jess, the 70s soul CDs are done, just about! Send me your address.

― Arthur (Arthur), Saturday, 5 October 2002 03:52 (twenty-three years ago)

haha this is starting to sound like aa.

i am Dave. i am sitting in a dorm room in New Jersey and staring at a bunch of management consulting firms' free career fair crap (ie. tins of mints, frisbees, pens). i feel this way because i am trying to fight my tendency to choose the most unsuitable option in any situation.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Saturday, 5 October 2002 04:13 (twenty-three years ago)

― thurston, Saturday, 5 October 2002 05:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I am felicity and I'm an ILholic.

I am in my apartment on the sixteenth floor.

I feel this way because there is a nice breeze blowing in my window, the Angels pulled out a thriller, I had a steak sandwich for dinner, and I am seeing some people I like tomorrow.

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 5 October 2002 05:21 (twenty-three years ago)

― stevo (stevo), Saturday, 5 October 2002 10:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I am Livvie. I'm in the spare room of our house. I feel this way (confused) because there are too many Andrews posting on this thread and I can't tell which is which.

― Livvie, Saturday, 5 October 2002 10:04 (twenty-three years ago)

SIN. If the person you're sinning with is worth it, don't look back.
