I love myself

I just thought you should all know that I find myself to be the most fascinating person alive. Discuss.

I'm also currently the most exhausted person alive. Discuss that too. In fact, anything that revolves around discussing me is good.

I am never posting to ILM again, my god.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

And as Ally's first client (legally speaking) I would like to state for the record and the CD, that we love Ally, and her bitchy cakes.

― Geoff, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Anyone else up for making Ally board mascot?

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I dont think Ally would like the term "mascot" somehow.

― Michael, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I prefer whore, thank you.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Aw, no fair and I wanted to be the forum whore...

― Michael, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You could always be the forum Tart. Or Harlot.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Who's going to be the forum Strumpet?

― Dan Perry, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Forum Trollop?

― , Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dan, only you can be the forum Strumpet. You would do it so well.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

*preens*

― Dan Perry, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Whenever you guys say "preens" it makes me think of peacocks.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

God, this all reminds me of the Lady Marmalade performance at the mtv movie awards.

Mecha-Christina looked like a female klingon.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I dream of being Mecha-Christina. In fact, I want to be referred to as Mecha-Ally from now on.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeah, Dan has to be the strumpet. Especially after his "Just look at what Lil' Kim was wearing. Ewwwww" bitchy episode.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Nonono. It was "Just look at what Lil' Kim was wearing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I sense "Fake Breasts: Classic or Dud?" coming on...

― Dan Perry, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Don't forget to advertise this place! we need fresh blood!...can I be a vampire?

― james e l, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I've written to Tom telling him about this place, I'd hope to make it part of Freaky Trigger but I'll wait for him to get back to me before advertising it as such. How else do we advertise it...suggestions please?

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well I linked to it on my blog but damnit those people who read it are losers.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Killjoy is here. ;-) As part of Freaky Trigger...well, why? Wouldn't it make more sense to target everything and everybody? ILM is linked to FT, whereas ILE seems more ripe and ready to be mentioned in every blog ever to attract every reader ever.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

1) We potentially get all the ILM and FT people. 2) This board can be used for threads which run out of musical steam on ILM and can then be taken up over here without anybody getting annoyed about the lack of musical conversation.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Er...okay. I think my reticence is due to the fact as well that at heart one board taking up a lot of work time is bad enough, but two is deadly. Which is why I doubt I'll be here much.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well, you're the editor now (aren't you?) so it's up to you. :-)

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think we should do anything possible to avoid being mentioned in the same breath with those Freaky Trigger jerkoffs.

Right, Ned? ;)

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"Kid tested, FT disapproved"

Now there's a tagline.

At least no one's brought up classic rock yet...

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

So, Nicole, what do you think of Led Zepplin?

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Thanks, make my sinus headache THAT MUCH worse.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm really truly sorry. You should try excedrin migrane. Even if it's a sinus headache, it seems to work best. It's very strange. Probably because it has like 3 types of drugs in it.

I don't have any headache, I'm just bored to DEATH. No one is at work today besides me, I swear.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have some, just not at work. D'oh!

No one is here either, but I was supposed to leave early but now it's looking like I won't be able to. :-P

Hence much silly chatter on ILE.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Argh, not disapproved or anything. *grumbles a bit* Can't put my finger on it and can't find the words to properly talk about it, so I won't. I shouldn't have said a thing.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, I wasn't talking about you, I was referring to Tom freaking out yesterday and calling all the chatter on ILM a load of wank. :-)

Which it probably is, but hey...

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Thing is, I *like* the random conversations everywhere. I guess I'm just interested in one overall board -- alt.music.alternative encompassed all sorts of things, so why not ILM? There, maybe that explains it.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hey, how about REO Speedwagon, then ? They're midwestern classic rock !

― Patrick, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Others get annoyed by it, though. Not me, but I know some people just want to discuss the merits of Spirit of Eden versus Laughingstock.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well if it's not from California or New Jersey, it's crap.

Anything from the midwest is so slow and hopelessly unsophisticated. Sheesh, they probably didn't even make it out to New York to catch the Magnetic Fields special show.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I find a lot of the music related discussion boring and uninspired these days, actually. It's like, erm, we ran out of good bands to discuss so...ermmm, how about...Sugar Ray: Classic or Dud?!?!

*shrugs*

I'd rather talk about the guy who just told a friend of mine to tell me to never mention his name again. WTF? I don't even know him, other than he's an asshole.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It does seem like everything has been talked about right now. It's probably just a slow period, hopefully some new albums will come out and set things right.

― Nicole, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think the time is right for a religious conversion. Muhammed Ally anyone?

― Steven James, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Only if I can call you Richey James.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I dunno, sorry, I missed the conversation that made this board split off and be founded, cause, well, of all the shit going on in my life yesterday.

I know that some people get really annoyed at all the personal chatter on That Other Board. But, if the topic always comes back to music (as it usually does) *I* don't personally have a problem with it. But I know some people do, so whatever.

Damn, better go, Paul is home. Maybe will talk more later...

― masonic boom, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Who is this Richey James? Is this your nickname for Rick James?

Anyway, this is what the Clash look like today. Warning!

Hopefully someone can make this into an active link.

http://www.mick-jones.fsnet.co.uk/main.htm

― Steven James, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

THIS is who that Richey James is.

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I just want to make it *totally* clear that this board is meant IN NO WAY to rival ILM, or as a snub to Tom or anyone else. In fact it's meant to complement FT/ILM. Prompted by the chat/fora suggestions thread and various questions that have popped up from time to time I thought it might be a good idea to set up a sister board. Go have a look; there are many questions about favourite books, kid's tv programmes and other non-music related stuff that people have put up probably because they would like to know and perhaps value the opinions of the ILM crowd, but sadly those questions don't fit into the ILM mandate. So, I thought, why not have a board for the ILM community to talk about other stuff so as not to piss anyone off. This may be a generalisation, but we all seem to be (pop) culture junkies, and of course that encompasses *so much* that isn't music. Some topics will naturally overlap, hence the (proposed) link with FT/ILM. Sorry to go on a bit, but I realised after I'd started this it may look like I'm sticking two fingers up at Tom or trying to muscle my way on to the FT crew, both of which are NOT TRUE. Cheers for reading this...now on with the bitching! :-)

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

But can we still bitch about how boring I personally find the board to be nowadays? I mean, as I said before, I am clearly the most interesting person on the planet and therefore my opinions are most important, and I'd really like to just go on and on.

I'd like to think it's obvious everyone is kidding (mostly) :)

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh yeah, bitch about ILM as much as you like if you want to, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that the reason for starting this board wasn't to rival ILM.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'd rather not bitch about them in the end anyhow because it totally takes away time I could be spending talking about how hot I am.

I wonder how much I rile people up by posting shit I don't even believe. I look really nice right now though, too bad I'm wasting it ON THE INTERNET while my sleepy pothead roommate gets dressed and drinks coffee.

I realized today that the only reason I like Richey is because he has all the same problems as me but much worse, plus the same opinions and we even have vaguely similar eyes and grins, so when I talk about him it's like talking about myself, which is so fantastic. If Fabio was just like me, I'd probably love him too.

My mom believes there are a race of aliens that look like Fabio. She claims they are democrats. Did you know the Bat Boy has the hots for Jenna Bush?

― Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, but I do now. Besides, there's no point bitching about ILM, we're not jumping ship and if you offend anyone you'll have to go crawling back to them.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I crawl back to no one, my friend. No one.

― Ally, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I reckon Ally will break the 100 posts here by Tuesday.
