Once or twice at free jazz shows I have wanted to shout FOR FUCKS SAKE PLAY A TUNE

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 19:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Not sure if that's slightly too small or much too big.

That's how I feel at noise shows too. It's perfectly normal.

xp Laurel -- seriously. Though I was at a Lightning Bolt where it sounded like they were playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Things I hear about Glasgow make me alternately sure that I will love it/be terrified by it.

Noodle - that Bad Thoughts pg is pretty great.

Yeah, I was reading it too. Quite amusingly done.

That Bad Thoughts page is making me think I need my vision checked again ;_;

If you open it in a new tab you can enlarge it Abs!

^^^ now imagine those mad thoughts spoken by this guy

snoball, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link

No, enlarged is how I can't read it. I mean, I can't read it small either but that's not what's making me worry.

I, too, was wondering how everyone was able to read it!

incomprehensible Kool-Aid swallower (sarahel), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 20:57 (fourteen years ago) link

x-post - it's still small but if I put my face pretty close the the screen I can read it . . . yes, that looks are ridiculous as it sounds.

i feel the imps a lot when im standing at a great height and also A LOT when i'm using a large knife like "well what if i just felt the sudden urge to slit my wrists"

those are fleeting in a way but i really do get terrified that i'm going to let slip a secret of a friend in front of that friend in front of people that matter - one of the more recent ones is casually mentioning who my friend voted for in front of his father - just terrified of stuff like that

when i was working at a call center i felt this all the time too - like what if i happened to say the n-word to this black woman that im speaking to, things like that - always mildly freaked me out

sean hannity (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link

BTW - Asked someone at work about this earlier today and she brought up the jumping/pushing someone in front of a train as her most common example.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:35 (fourteen years ago) link

I think it's *the* stock example for people who regularly use trains.

thank you, flipper, for nickelback (country matters), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link

Are you guys ever even around trains?

kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player (Abbott), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link

I sometimes amuse myself by considering how painful it would be to put one's head in front of the train and cop a glancing blow. And yeah, all the time.

thank you, flipper, for nickelback (country matters), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link

Hey - it would quiet the imps in my brainz!

thank you, flipper, for nickelback (country matters), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link

xxp Twice every weekday.

sad-ass Gen Y fantasist (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link

It is bcz I live in rural America that I think of trains as things that haul agricultural goods and not humans.

Every time I cut myself shaving I have a split second vision of connecting the dots into a jagged red line from ear to ear. Then I finish shaving and go to work.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:39 (fourteen years ago) link

I often consider yelling gibberish at the occupants of stopped city buses.

Abbott I take the subway to and from work every day!

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:40 (fourteen years ago) link

They're probably used to that kind of behavior, as bus passengers.

I feel like I live in my own country sometimes.

I know, but probably not from a guy in a passing car. I wanna introduce some variety into their lives. xxp

"jagged red grin" seemed to morbid tbh

xp to me: There are many people that mistakenly think New Mexico is a country, Abbott.

kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player (Abbott), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:42 (fourteen years ago) link

for some reason I'm envisioning the Jack in the Box mascot here.

Bus passengers are generally pretty fucking crazy. A couple of years ago a woman who clearly couldn't control her imps actually flipped out on me and hit me while I was standing next to her on a bus.

Isn't that why the license plates say "New Mexica, USA"?

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Mexic"O"

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh god ENBB I never even noticed that, that's depressing as hell.

kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player (Abbott), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link

See?? I think it's the only state license place that actually says "USA" on it.

w/r/t putting body limbs (and your head) in front of the train -- a fantasy I've definitely had while waiting on the platform -- have you ever thought about what would happen if you touched a train with your hand while it was flying by? It looks like with the velocity/etc it could just rip your fingers right off if you touched it...

I occasionally get the urge to go the wrong way on the freeway, or stop in the middle of it.

incomprehensible Kool-Aid swallower (sarahel), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link

PP Hmmmm. That looks like gov officials just being cute cause it's already in the name. I think the NM one is because a lot of ppl don't know it'a part of the US! I had a friend who lived there for a while and repeatedly got asked what I was like living in Mexico even after he explained that he lived in NEW Mexico and not Mexico Mexico.

On especially frustrating days at work I have impy visions of picking up my keyboard and smashing my target (boss, coworker, customer, etc) across the face with it. This vision is usually a lot like that fantasy scene in High Fidelity where they hit Tim Robbins in the face with a phone and his teeth come flying out of his mouth like candy corn.

had the urge to edit program bios such that the lists of names, awards, and such were replaced by "blah blah blah"
