gukbe be ruinin your thread six months in the planning

posting the year makes it seem official! soz for ruining your thread.

you didn't, conrad was concern-trolling

excellent! i am enjoying this, though this one has led to Gloria Estefan bouncing around my head all day.

not real trollin just makin fun of u

that's cold shit conrad. suddenly the internet doesn't seem so nice anymore.

WHOMP

13th January 2*1* - Tomorrow's another day.

wait so we turned it upside down on the first of the year, then turned it upside down again on the 13th. doesn't that mean it's rightside up now? what if i miss being upside down :(

or maybe it's like one of those glass frames with dyed sand inside, and every time you turn it upside down it creates a new pattern of sand, and it's like life because you can never recapture exactly what you once had.

you can buy those sand things at Knott's Berry Farm, or at least you could in 1993.

18 January 2010:

Give way to your worst impulse

uh oh.

My actual worse impulse, or what I currently think is the worst?

You gotta figure that part out yourself.

mine would be "talk too much about self," which is my usual m.o., so...done!

you need riskier impulses

"mh just can't help acting on Impulse" (tag line of old UK TV commercial)

no way I'm going near my worst impulses

well worst impulses on internet are a lot milder than worst impulses in real life
