I AM Slump Man! not you!

― Slump Man (Slump Man), Sunday, 4 January 2004 12:44 (twenty years ago) link

oh wait, i see. umm...

― Slump Man (Slump Man), Sunday, 4 January 2004 12:45 (twenty years ago) link

i am bitter and neurotic.

I think it may have been a joke.

or was it?

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 January 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

who gives a shit either way.

I'm right-wing. This idea had never occurred to me until someone told me last night. I don't think it's true, but it's a lot more true than I realised.
Also, that I say 'like' all the time. This is very irritating.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:09 (twenty years ago) link

Someone at the last FAP pointed out that I'm good at pissing people off. Which I hadn't really thought about.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:13 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently I am "flighty."

Oh, and i've got one friend who just introduces me as his Weird Friend.

What the fuck does that mean, weird? Because I have no idea what it is that makes me weird. I watch Buffy, I like music, I read books, I post silly things on ILx. what the fuck? how does this make me different than say the six million other users here? Besides the liking Buffy part.

― Catty (Catty), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:16 (twenty years ago) link

apparently, i'm an unusually considerate ex-girlfriend. (which was nice to hear)

and i'm scary. but i've been told that enough at this point that i guess i just kinda know it. even though i don't understand it.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:20 (twenty years ago) link

Does cleavage serve some other purpose aside from attracting attention I'm unaware of? I mean you have to buy a special bra and everything, so maybe it does

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:25 (twenty years ago) link

I mean obv just staring at it in "conversation" is atrociously rude, but y'know it's not very surprising, I suppose. I don't do it but I DO read shirts a lot

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago) link

Shirts about breasts?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't know that I sing under my breath. At work. Constantly. Apparently.

(Hi and happy new year by the way. No posts for nearly three weeks, what have I been DOING?!)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago) link

The tip of my nose wiggles up and down when I talk.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

I have a sweet ass!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

i "radiate heat like a great sun."

― joday (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

the hair on the back of my neck spells out "OMFG"

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago) link

my spunk tastes like blackberry jam

i was not aware of this?

― omg, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

My accent changes significantly and immediately depending on who I am speaking with, which I was unaware of previously.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:58 (twenty years ago) link

Hi Archel!
Um, I've been called scary. I have also been told that I look like a bouncer. I do not beleive either of these things.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

My blood type is A+.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

I have a moviestar nose. Whoopee doo.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

I've been told I'm scary as well by guys who could EASILY kick my ass. I've been told that I smell good even without having to use cologne. I should do like Sammy Kershaw and sell my sweat as a perfume. YUMMY.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

I have some sort of problem with authority.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

I have two extra teeth.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

I have balls the size of coconuts.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

I am "like a cartoon character".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

I sound like fucking Rowley Birkin QC, can't you shape up, man for god's sake?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

I sabotage my chances at happiness.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:17 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently I walk with a swagger. (Undeserved, most likely.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

My boyfriend is really weird. Oh wait, I knew that without having to be told.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

I'm really annoying.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

I don't have a lot of self-confidence in the sack.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago) link

People actually said these things to you guys? To your face? Odd.

I apparently also have a very distinctive walk but I don't see how it differs from anyone else's. I mean, people spot me from a while away and I'm like, how did you know it was me? And the answer is like 90% of the time, from the way you were walking. WTF?

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:22 (twenty years ago) link

Everybody has a distinctive gait, I've actually had occasions where I didn't recognize somebody until they started moving and then I knew exactly who they were.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

Ally, that's not about yourself...

Mine is: when VERY tired, my left eye goes a bit lazy. Kapow goes any hopes of broadcasting career (although it hasn't harmed Natasha Walter's prospects).

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:29 (twenty years ago) link

I have inherited my father's gait, even tho i have a longer stride.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

Suzy's reply wins. Anyway I disagree about this gait thing, I've never noticed people having some kind of distinctive walk. Except this one dude I knew but that was because he purposely tried to strut like John Travolta everywhere, so it was kind of obvious

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:38 (twenty years ago) link

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE WRONG OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE'S WALK IS GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BEING AS WE ARE NOT IN THE CLONE AGE YET.* I AM SAYING I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE TO BE SO EXTRAORDINARY AS TO BE COMMENTED UPON. OK?

* I think. I wish we had, I would send my clone to work.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:39 (twenty years ago) link

Back on topic, I also never knew I was a Type A personality until I was sitting in class at 22 and I said 'I took this test last night and it said I had a Type A personality, WTF is up with that' and everybody in the room was like "DUHHH HELLO"

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

What's a 'Type A Personality'?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

"there's something different about you. did you lose more hair?"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:46 (twenty years ago) link

Haha I'm 47% Type A. Three years ago I would probably have been all the way. Three years from now, I'll probably be Hansel.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:47 (twenty years ago) link

Why do people continue to employ Natasha Walter? Her feminism book was one of the worst things i've ever read, i don't think i managed more than about 10 pages.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

Because she can *** a ************ through a *******, maaan.

I stick my tongue out when I am putting a mouthful of food in there. I have tried to curb this one.
Also, apparently I have green eyes even though they have been blue for the last 27 years!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 12:26 (twenty years ago) link

I apparently have good skin. I think people who say this are crazy, but a few people have said this so .... (My mom: "When did your complexion get so good? Oh, I guess you got old")

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

someone just called and told me that when my hair is dark, i look like the girl in shakespeare's sister that isn't in bananarama.

i'm researching this to see if this is a compliment or insult.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

I'm an asshole apparently, and arrogant/snobbish as well.

I have beautiful eyelashes that several ex-girlfriends have been bitterly jealous of.

When I used to smoke, I smoked like a girl and held my cigarettes too high.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

Colette, it's a compliment. Though however well-meant, you do not look like Siobhan Fahey. You look better than that, she is a bit ropey and Pam Hogg-looking now.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:23 (twenty years ago) link

Suzy, I think they meant Marcella Detroit, i.e. the one who isn't in Bananarama. I don't think that's an insult either.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

i think he meant the detroit one as well. but all the pictures online are fuzzy or her hair is covering her face.

and since i'd never heard of her (or the band) i guess that ruins my potential career as a celeb impersonator!

and as long as we're allowed to disagree with people, mr. crack you're more of an elitist, surely?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:49 (twenty years ago) link

actually, there may be a market for vaguely familiar, but unplaceable celebrity lookalikes. because that would only heighten the versimilitude!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

(insert an I somewhere)

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

and as long as we're allowed to disagree with people, mr. crack you're more of an elitist, surely?

That does tend to sum it up, doesn't it? Though I like to think that my elitist tendencies have dimmed to a certain extent.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago) link

well, huck, if you ever find details of that market, let me know. people are always saying, 'you look like that one girl. you know, from that show/band/movie'. usually they mean someone that had a bit part on 'saved by the bell' or something.

but if i could make money off of their confusion, that would rock!

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:00 (twenty years ago) link

i walk like a penguin.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

attention: all pigeon-toed knock-kneed women report to Matos immediately. thank you.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

and he claims he doesn't know he's flirting!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:31 (twenty years ago) link

that's not flirting, it's being an obnoxious twat

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:35 (twenty years ago) link

it's a fine line between the two

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago) link

I supposedly look like a Renoir. Which painting was not specified.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently I mix up "bought" and "brought" all the time.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:38 (twenty years ago) link

it's a line I spend most of my life crossing to the wrong side of

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:40 (twenty years ago) link

That I walk fast.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:41 (twenty years ago) link

That I have 25 years of experience dealing with difficult women. Thanks, Mom (note: she is the one who told me this).
