I'm thinking the havoc I hath wrought unto my yard hast revisited me tenfold in teh form of exaustion and fatigue, coupled with increased consumption of barleyhopinated beverages, makes for one weary wore-out feller.

No prob, understood - actually, I was mistaken, I was thinking of a first-person series of writings on the job market from 98-99 or so, but am pretty sure it was by an graduate student in English.

I'm thinking I wish ABC showed, instead of Any Given Sunday, actual NFL football - even at this late hour. Also, Redskins over Jets on Thursday, without Pennington they're done.

There are all these night noises. The cicadas and the crickets and the frogs. One of them, some kind of bug probably, sounds like spokes clicking rhythmically as a bicycle wheel spins.

I'm glad that this weekend is over.

i am thinking "you asshole. how will i explain this to my boss in the morning!"
[obviously nothing to do w/ anyone posting here or ILE so chill]

"How am I going to get through these three months ALONE, without any guidance, at work?!?" (My mum's away on bizniz for three months, so I have to lead the shop. Lead?!?)

― nathalie (nathalie), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:09 (twenty years ago) link

you've gots to chill. dooon-doooon bowmf-bowmf-bowmf-bowmf. jungle boooogie.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:12 (twenty years ago) link

how can you not chill? it's too damn late. and why the hell am i still awake at 20 after 2 in the morning?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:21 (twenty years ago) link

I am thinking:
Good night Spencer.
Good night Vic.
Good night Australian foot guy.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:30 (twenty years ago) link

uh, ok...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:36 (twenty years ago) link

I am thinking that I miss all the people who are not on ILX anymore due to needless recent drama, but then again I shouldn't be on here anymore either

― Vic, Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:43 (twenty years ago) link

I'm also missing a bunch of people who have been annoyed off the boards by INSANE behavior.
Good night Orbit.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:46 (twenty years ago) link

I am now thinking two things: 1) goodnight Spencer, I'll get your boss laid if it gets me paid etc 2) two weeeeks!

― Vic, Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:49 (twenty years ago) link

i'm thinking of howit's strange that salt-n-vinegar doesn't make me sick, but that s-&-v thread does, even though i love s&-v potato chips

― vic, Tuesday, 2 September 2003 06:55 (twenty years ago) link

Schlimmer Verdacht : O. hat nur das Kriegshandwerk gelernt und bricht ohne passiv-aggressiv provozierte (oder notfalls eingebildete) Anfeindungen auseinander wie eine gestrandete Qualle.

Ach woher kenn ich das nur, woher kenn ich das nur.

Mehr Kaffe s'il vous plait. Kaffee, Kaffee s'il vous plait.

― Herbstmute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 07:09 (twenty years ago) link

Hmm, what on earth is going with ILX at the moment & everybody hating each other?
I love peanut butter.
Wish I could be at home in bed with my boy.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 07:30 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking that I realize full well there are plenty of people who are regularly awake and engaged and at top form at this hour, and that not a bit of me cares: for me, this is being awake only slightly later than I'd be up in the context of "staying up late." This is insane in quantities rivaled only by animals in sweaters.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 10:45 (twenty years ago) link

I don't post here much anymore. I don't think anyone's noticed.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:34 (twenty years ago) link

Hmm, I wonder where Chris V has been lately!

x-post! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:37 (twenty years ago) link

I've been busy with work. And not too interested in all the fights on here lately.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:40 (twenty years ago) link

I am lost, i've been away (from ilx) for a few days & jeez, all hell has broken loose! Everybody is down on Orbit for reasons unbeknown to me & everything is just a bit odd. still ups & downs i guess.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:42 (twenty years ago) link

Hey Pinkie, everything okay? Would... SHOES cheer you up?

"I really don't know anyone here. Is it weird to read the words of and write words for complete strangers every day? Or nearly every day although god, work work work is evil at the moment. Was that 9 and a half hour day with no lunch break yesterday normal? Was it unreasonable to go home and feel tired and crap? Is my job better or worse than Matt's? I should phone the post office re. our move. And the council I guess. Glad there's some money in the bank again, even if it is illusory. I wonder what happened here over the weekend. I wonder what is in people's heads, really. I think I should worry more about the people in my real life than I do. I wish I hadn't eaten that tuna sandwich. I'm gonna order myself a little card catalogue when I do the stationery this afternoon. Must get everything organised before October. Hope Steve can do my stuff ok and doesn't mess up my desk.

My problems would be perceived by most people as unimportant.

It is easy to make people dislike you."

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:57 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah I'm cool def! I was just wondering what had been happening in short. I mean I don't really ever converse with Orbit, so I wasn't sure if people were reacting to summit or what. Anyways, whatever you know! But shoes are always a good thing! post away my lil footwear angel!

Archel - if they are a problem in your life then so be it, don't worry about what other people would perceive them as!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:59 (twenty years ago) link

I don't worry about it. But it is what was crossing my mind right this (that) instant!

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 13:10 (twenty years ago) link

Oh right, sorry.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 13:12 (twenty years ago) link

Aw but thanks for the positive voibe PP :)

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 13:18 (twenty years ago) link

Just jumping the gun, so to speak, again! oops!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 13:22 (twenty years ago) link

I should be happy for Sara instead of being sad that I may not be able to attend her wedding. I really wish that lawn guy below my window would go the fuck away. Much as I'm thankful that things are better for me now than they were Sunday, it scares me that things can get that bad. I wish I had a donut right now. Glazed, the kind that's kind of twisty, but twisty in a circle. I'm probably not describing that very well.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 14:29 (twenty years ago) link

Spencer what is your problem? I have not exhibited any insane behavior. I understand that if you are not on the boards the same time as things are happening it may be hard to follow things across different threads, esp if you read it later, but I have not attacked anyone except in immediate self-defense.
Please point it out if I have.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 16:00 (twenty years ago) link

And to follow up, whatever soap opera some of you people have going on in your heads, I have no clue what it is--and stop blaming me for whatever it is. Some people here are being very childish. No one is stopping anyone from posting. I don't like some people here, so what? I like others. Others like me. So if some people don't like me for whatever reason, unknown to me, so what? If they make a soap opera out of it, or harass me because they don't like me, that is their deal, not mine. I mean, can we get some perspective here?

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

the ironing is delicious

Is "eating [x]'s s'mores" an ingenious euphemism for analingus?

So why not just leave it? You are often, as in this case, the one to bring things back to YOU. Is it a desperate need of attention? Because all you're doing is turnign people away from you and causing ill feeling for pretty much everyone. Sure, you're not alone in this, but with the exception of a *very* small number of posters, no-one's being antagonistic towards you without (what they perceive as) due cause.

That last post of yours was "attacking people" with no hint of "immediate self-defence". You are rapidly alienating the people who are still sticking up for you - why do SO MANY of your posts have to either bring things back to this argument (which isn't even an argument as you are ranting at the void and everyone else just isn't listening to you any more) or attack some virtual army of hataz?

I know you said you're not going to leave ILX, but you taking a rest is looking a considerably better idea than continually stirrring up this entirely pointless shitstorm.

Oh I've been "following the boards" Orbit, and I'm sad to say that my initial estimation of you was wrong. You have single-handedly made this place meaner due to your outrageous behavior. I sincerely feel sorry for you because you clearly have some anger issues that must stem from some terrible experience, but at the same time I really do miss the people that you have driven away. In the past, I had defended you to other posters by saying: "y'know, she was really nice/cool/smart in person" but someone reminded me that one's online actions are just as real as IRL ones. I made the statement above in reaction to your "good night Spencer" because I don't want to be known as an apologist for your appalling behavior.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:04 (twenty years ago) link

pleae give examples of the appalling behavior.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking I miss Millar & Ally up in here.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

Mark I am genuinely surprised by your post. My last post here was not an attack, it was response to an accusation. It was asking Spencer why he was insulting me.

The next one gives my honest opinion about the whole thing. As someone said to me in email, there's a lot of talking going on here, but not a lot of listening.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

Nick, as always GOOMH!

I was just coming in here to post that very thing. I miss them too.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:09 (twenty years ago) link

You know, I miss Ally and Millar too, but I'm not going to invent a pledge drive against the person who allegedly drove them off. It's really not worth it and only makes the entire place INCREDIBLY ASININE AND UNLOVABLE.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

you're right, we need more lovable.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

Dan, there's no pledge drive from me. Just something I had to get off my chest. I'm writing out of sadness and have no interest in a crusade, honest.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:20 (twenty years ago) link

That dog's eyes are creeping me out!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:21 (twenty years ago) link

God knows I am as much a slave to the "I must get this off of my chest" syndrome as the next person (see the 10 Commandments thread), but is there any possible way that joining into this wouldn't be seen as dogpiling and, given the patterns and personalities of the people involved, do nothing but perpetuate the ill will and misunderstandings?

Also, nickalicious is OTM; that is a ridiculously creepy dog and therefore hella cute.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

Dan, Orbit's "Good Night Spencer" remark put me in an awkward position. I have tried to stay out of this, but that out-of-the-blue lovey-doviness really made me queasy. I had to say something. Is that ok?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

Surely I am not the only one to notice that Orbit is always right? and the world is as she sees it? so there's no point in arguing with her? I mean, it's kinda obvious? like, hellooo?

― Herbstmute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

Orbit has made the unthinkable crime of acting like [insert regular ILE poster here]!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

Dan I defer to your wisdom, I will mention it no more!

Justin Rulez!
