Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about Picthfork, I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

I always like going on the Pitchfork thread because it makes other people who allegedly don't read it cry.

?

talking about the "omg ppl are talking about Pitchfork, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" contingent

xxp - do you talk about provates or something?

oh. that's me, sometimes, too. i mean, i can't restrain myself and i should

Provates--their new album is great, much improved over that EP last year

kinda feel like derailing LJ's epic poll thread and protest vehemently that he should have included track 6 from the last Provates album.

Wait was the Neil

what? I didn't catch that. But my hearing's been for shit since I was a kid.

100 miles isn't really very far - there are people out here that commute that distance to work every day.

'shut up'

;)

ha - that is my US-centric view of things.

pennyroyal

I said basically the same thing when I got a ticket for not having my headlights on over the weekend driving my mom's truck.

i wouldn't mind being a mod, actually.

I just noticed this thread happening. So that comment happened near the beginning of the thread?

I can't

sometimes I think cat power is the only music i agree with

Agree with, like, the sentiment of the words? Or the entire musical aesthetic? Maybe I shouldn't ask. Maybe this should be a safe place.

I wasn't gonna ask what you can't, but this is a haven, so I didn't.

that guy is an old friend and collaborator of my boss. He's a good player.

Ned? You worried about pulling a Suzy?

Yeah, and violating my new self-imposed posting limitations.

He's brilliant. My fave is The Crux? I gave it to one of my best friends, so I might've forgotten the title since it's been away.

we have a couple of his albums at work - he's a good guy, a little grumpy. I haven't actually listened to his albums, but I've seen him live. This is the case with a lot of music for me, actually.

If "Hounds of Love" were released today, half of the people raving about it would hate it.

you have as much chance of becoming a mod as me

my ambitions are quite low - i'd feel thoroughly satisfied being mod of a sub-board only me and two other people post to. I just want to make up fake user names.

You can register fake gmail addys and make fake user accounts based on them. The mods will know, though, based on your IP.

too much work.

Everyone who plays an instrument even kind of well. People who speak two languages. People who do hard math. People in science.

*deletes long overly personal post probably seeking sympathy*

The guy in that anecdote was an artist in the Whitney Biennial.

I'd have given him at least an 8.

more like a small dune of sand in a depressingly flat desert

on second thought, 5 might be more accurate.

spent 15 minutes revising a post about bristle blocks, then decided to just link an image

3000 miles is still too far away.

is that why you wrote all those luke-warm half-assed reviews?

you had the self-discipline necessary to be a successful serial killer

I am not going to post to this thread.

I have a cousin I'd make out with. Adodpted, tho.

apparently horses that are gelded - you are supposed to clean that stuff off of them, because it accumulates and could cause an expensive infection if not regularly dealt with.

i just picked one of the first goofy costumes i saw. you know what's funny in retrospect? i almost picked a sexy lady cop picture but then i thought what if that poster is a woman i better not in case they think i'm being rude...

anyway i apologize again.

this is me:

*You have posted 79,852 messages*

and believe you me there are plenty i wish i could take back.

Sexy Halloween costumes are an evergreen joke IMO though none will ever top the "sexy Ebola nurse" I saw circa 2014.

i also stand by this poll from 16 years ago. for the record.

Yer Fave Gayz 4Ever Poll!

i still wish i knew what this meant. its been bugging me. i don't want to feel like i've been excluding or ignoring people. have i been? i don't always know who is queer or even who is who on here. i don't remember everyone's story. is that terrible? it kinda becomes one person to me. the ilx person. i think i respond to people if they ask me a question or start a conversation with me. i can be rude though maybe. when i post its to everyone! not anyone in particular.

― scott seward

scott, you may not know this, because i pretty much never talk about it on ilx, but i am in fact queer - a transgender woman, to be specific. i don't really feel like you've excluded or ignored me.

there is no official Queer Position on things like this, but speaking only for myself, i didn't think of your joke as "hostile".

i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.
