I mean if anything, based on what little I know of both, she seems like Gear's roommate.

"I'm going crazy now; my first love got dumped for ANDY FUCKING RODDICK."

er that was an xpost... nabisco you had me for a sec with that miki berenyi thing

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't mock her at all. honestly she sounds sweet and swept up by a life that sounds pretty fucking fun to me (at least the good parts). i'm surprised that she's willing to air it all in public. i wonder if jules knows...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

That last excerpt got me: I think I've had that relationship!

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Less glamorous, though.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

she's pretty mediocre looking, and are we sure this isn't some strange twisted fantasy webpage? I haven't delved too deeply into it...

"I'm the ice cream sundae, with whipped cream and a fucking cherry on top"

That last excerpt got me: I think I've had that relationship!

(No, to further the milk metaphor, it was like I was lactose intolerant, and the milk was like "drink me!" and I was like no, no, really, I shouldn't, it'll make me feel bad, but the milk was like "c'mon, c'mon have a drink," and then I would, and then it'd be like "I will never drink milk again" and the milk would be like "yeah, sure, whatever" and so on like that.)

― notbisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:37 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah she seems sweet and smart (going to columbia soon, maybe ally'll meet her) and her relationship (regardless of the proper nouns) sound better than 80% of the relationships i've been in (95% of which were better than the alternative) so more power to her.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm excited for her too. I think she's having fun. She's in for heartbreak at some point, but it seems like she's fully aware of that.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Going to Columbia, you say?

To clarify I was talking about ILX

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:39 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i mean odds are she'd be in for heartbreak at some point anyhow, better a stroke than some dude in her dorm. odds are this'll circumvent a jamband phase at the very least.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Wait wait -- she just graduated from high school?

Also, fact-wise: are there any pictures on there that actually include her and any strokes? Sorta suspect.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Cause I mean geez, just cause yr dad gets on 14-year-old South American models doesn't mean you get a free pass.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:46 (nineteen years ago) link

that's what I'm saying xpost

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:47 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah she seems sweet and smart

She does? I'm being honest here, I don't sense that at all, and that's actually the big reason I don't see her as attractive much.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:47 (nineteen years ago) link

apart from julians singing, i never got the velvets comparisons. as stated above, i always thought of them as being late 70s/early 80s in sound, and just as much, in production.

― dickvandyke (dickvandyke), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Well if she's really "Barely Legal" (ho! ho! ho!) then she's probably a little sharper than most. I don't know about "sweet," unless the whole "trying to be all glammy-adult-drama and sorta failing" thing = cute and adorable.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:49 (nineteen years ago) link

ned why do you even post in strokes threads anymore? haven't you already used up all the "ehs" you can muster for them??

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Sort of like how when I threaten to kick people's asses they all go, "Aww, yr so cute!"

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Except for Miki from Lush, she understood my power.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

there's a certain sweet irony to her fave bball player being steve nash

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:52 (nineteen years ago) link

and a friend of hers is friends with byron leftwich!!! girl is hooked up!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:53 (nineteen years ago) link

she's like jville royalty from what i can figure; what's with all the golf photos though?

was miki the one with the orange hair?

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Red hair, yup.

haven't you already used up all the "ehs" you can muster for them??

You didn't revive the thread to talk about the band. ;-) (I clicked because Spencer and I and others were yakking a bit on the tracks poll thread and I thought it might have something to do with that.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:56 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm being honest here, I don't sense that at all, and that's actually the big reason I don't see her as attractive much.

Ned, I should have specified above that my question about her attractiveness was only skin deep. That's why I asked it, because I thought you were being a bit harsh about the way she looked. I don't think you can honestly say that if she posted a pic to an ILE "so what do you look like thread", and you didn't know who she was, that you wouldn't complement her.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:56 (nineteen years ago) link

You gotta pick a harder venue than that, Spencer.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

(Sorry, I'm not going to post on this thread anymore, everything comes out mean and skeezy.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I kiss you all, including Julian and his barely-legal high school sundae.

― mahirsco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:59 (nineteen years ago) link

haha - not at all, I really appreciate your comments upthread, I think we're all falling into a bit of a paternalistic trap with this.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Spencer, I'm serious -- she looks unremarkable. *shrug* There ya go.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I agree about the trap thing, though.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

it's like a Paul Schrader script!

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I think she's Latina. Maybe not Ned's cup o' tea?

― kickitcricket (kickitcricket), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

jesus lord

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't fall for or reject anyone for their ancestry, Kickit, and if the thread is going to take THAT kind of a turn, I'm agreeing with both Nabisco and Slocki and letting it go.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:05 (nineteen years ago) link

he's not looking so fabulous these days

The Morrissey/Casablancas duet serving as the b-side to The End Has No End?

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, that sounded less accusatory in my head. Sorry Ned. My bad.

― kickitcricket (kickitcricket), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

No worries.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned told me to "go back to Moscow" one time, and I'm like "Don't you mean Dublin?" and he leaned in and hissed "Moscow!" and tossed his glass of wine in my face.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:10 (nineteen years ago) link

we've been friends ever since

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:10 (nineteen years ago) link

there is no reason to think there was anything racist about cricket's comment

― Magic City (ano ano), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I love you, Gear.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:11 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost, would never suggest or even meant to cause anyone to suggest something like that about Ned (as it's absurd) - I was only asking whether Ned was wearing Strokes-goggles, but he has convinced me otherwise.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Heh, this is making a mountain out of a molehill at this point. Let us leave it at 'tastes differ.'
