You sure don't "got" much to say if you can't say it correctly.

(Don't say anything about my poor spelling!)

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok! I don't have much to say. Happy?

Fight Club: The Thread

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

No.

I'm ever so proud of you! Aww! The two year older than me person that people think is me is a fast learner!

There's no fight clubs for girls. And fight clubs didn't exist before the movie (or the book).
And I've just changed my e-mail - not that I think anyone cares (not a grab at pity), but I don't want you to think that I'm someone else. Or something.

Aja, don't hate me. Cuz if you do, I'll CRY.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Just kidding.

FITE

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't hate you Nowell. How could I hate a replica of myself?

I am starting to hate this Algebra homework. It's easy, but it's just too many problems. I GET IT ALREADY!

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

A replica of yourself?

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not a replica of anybody! And that was funny, Wooden.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, ok. A two year older replica.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you.

I am not a replica of you AT ALL.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm my own person, even on ILX.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

replica!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Asshole!

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't mean that.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Nowell, you're like me, except you curse a lot.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

When have I cursed once today?

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Hello from Sweden!

You know what? Don't answer that.
Just stop calling me a "replica". I take being called a replica of anyone an insult. Unless it's...I don't know.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Nowell?

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Gotta go. I'll be back later today, I think.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

unless it's someone famouse like umm, uh, who's a good example, umm, oh, who's a famouse person that, oh forget it. Just be a replica of me, it's a lot easier.

Alright, I'll stop. I'm just trying to procrastinate because I don't want to do my homework.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate you both.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't want to do my homework either, Aja.

I did that earlier.

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

That, oddly, must mean Nowell doesn't want to do her homework either?

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I once was a bum on the street.. deangulbrry came by and gave me a thousand dollars. With his cash, I was fortunate enough to enroll in wrestling school and became the master of the diamond cutter.

Ghost Dad

I thought you were more a Leonard Part 6 person.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread has become too irritating to genuinely respond to now.

― Laura E (laurae55), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Laura!

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Jeremy! You're like a burst of sunshine this morning.

I was going to say Ian/Jon too btw.

― Laura E (laurae55), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:54 (twenty-one years ago)

It is still surprising to me, considering the negative effect he's had on ILX, that I know people who know people who have actual regard for Jon Williams as a human being, and would be sad if he dropped down dead tomorrow.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, it is queer how the thread no longer reflects its title.

Should it be restarted?

― the bluefox, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably not.

There are several people who post to ILx who have had a transformative effect on my life, but I think of them as friends first and ILxors second. I couldn't say that any ILxor as such has done this.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

JW is a nice guy.

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

the collective of ilx has had certain effects in my life as opposed to any individual, like now for instance i have started to make my bed in the mornings.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

you have all touched me in some way or another

Honest to Christ is that a Johnny Logan ref on ilx in 2017

― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 19:52 (eight years ago)

today's the day for it imo

― mark s, Monday, 30 October 2017 19:56 (eight years ago)

Every day is a good day for Johnny Logan. Go ahead and fp me Deems, you only need 31 51 socks to make it happen.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 19:59 (eight years ago)

^^ I didn't mean that. Hold me now, D.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 20:00 (eight years ago)

Horseshoe (miss u, lady) specifically because she talked somewhere on board about body positivity and HAES and posited that dieting might be unhealthy. For someone who had an eating disorder in the past and who has been on a diet pretty much constantly since I was 10, being introduced to these ideas was nothing short of life changing.

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:01 (eight years ago)

Feel bad now for fooling around because that is one beautiful, sincere post.

(did she leave for real?)

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 20:05 (eight years ago)

Wouldn't fp anyone for Johnny Logan love

Horseshoe is great

― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:07 (eight years ago)

Aw, don't feel bad! I meant to post that here last week but realized I didn't. It was such a big deal to me at the time (this was like 2010 ish) that I wrote to her separately and she sent me all kinds of reading recs and it was a really big thing for me.

I'm not sure if she's gone but I haven't seen her post in a while but I don't really post very much these days so idk.

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:08 (eight years ago)

And, yes, she is great all around.

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:09 (eight years ago)

That's really great <3

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 20:14 (eight years ago)

I believe I've seen recent horseshoe posts on the cooking threads

― sleeve, Monday, 30 October 2017 20:15 (eight years ago)

I'm also going to say Odysseus for dragging me out to regularly participate in things like chat and plug and reading philosophy, through which I made irl friends. Also, the mid-00s metal polls introduced me to contemporary avant- and post- black metal, which became a regular part of my listening diet.

― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:29 (eight years ago)

abby is consistently awesome and absent these days

― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Monday, 30 October 2017 23:19 (eight years ago)

Don't want to be nasty and there some assumptions coming up on my behalf but, if by 'A***' you refer to Horseshoe: there's probably a reason why she *never* used her real name on ilx and would probably prefer for it to stay that way?

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 23:23 (eight years ago)

her name isn't abby?

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 30 October 2017 23:33 (eight years ago)

oh wait you meant crabbits? i thought you meant horseshoe, whose name does not begin with A
anyway that's now how she spells it but yeah maybe not use her name

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 30 October 2017 23:35 (eight years ago)

I don't know whose name is Abby, all I was trying to say was that name never came up on here, the dropped 'Abby' only made me wonder 'who?', and one might not use it that freely if the person itself didn't use it that way either on here.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 30 October 2017 23:57 (eight years ago)

good point

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 30 October 2017 23:59 (eight years ago)

horribly phrased sentence on my part but hope you get the gist. dropping her birth name felt like doxxing to me.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:03 (eight years ago)

agree that "let's not do that going forward" is a good way to proceed wrt that issue

idk the answer to this or that it has been one person so much as a community presence for me (like KM)
it's a place i can go reliably, a place i can jib jab about stuff without much concern because no one can see me or know who i am? ilx can be relaxing in that way (except for when it's being toxic or i follow the wrong threads) + it's also a place where people like talking about music. you don't get that everywhere, or the people who like the same music i do or are interested in music the way i am aren't always compelled to talk with me about it in person (more now than before, but it was a long time between high school/college and a time when any of my close personal friends cared about music as much as i did)

i will say that i have gotten positive vibes from all ilxors i have met irl
and there have been quite a few!

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:07 (eight years ago)

i have gotten positive vibes from ~~all~~ the vast majority of ilxors
it needed to be corrected and i am not interested in talking about it

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:10 (eight years ago)

If now it comes across as if I am berating you, of all people, that is totally not what I intended! Just thought the transition from "we sure miss horseshoe" to "yeah Abby is the best" felt weird to me (which wasn't you even doing that in the first place).

Ilx is totally relaxing, a safe space for me too, very much so, and it should stay that way. I met good friends on here, stayed at ilxors places abroad, but don't get called by my first name on here because I don't use it as a dn. And that is awesome.

So ilx is awesome, all positive vibes for me for so many reasons. And it should stay that way imo, is what I meant. Without calling users by their real name when they themselves haven't used that.

But don't get me wrong, all <3 to you LL. 'LL' is fine.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:18 (eight years ago)

xp :-(

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:19 (eight years ago)

Got bad vibes once from an ilxor who stayed at my house of all things

very kind of sund4r and others to say those thing. Much unexpected so thank you!

sund4r otm

― Erotic Wolf (crüt), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:06 (eight years ago)

LL otm, ILX is basically the one place I talk about the things that interest me the most because basically no one I know irl is interested in or interested in talking about those things.

― Winky Carrothers (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:55 (eight years ago)

Odysseus is a v important cog in the ILM wheel. The world needs proper enthusiasts

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (eight years ago)

Coming the mechanism I mean. IDK I'm not an engineer lol

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (eight years ago)

Cog in the mechanism. I hate my phone

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (eight years ago)

Most engineers argue against coming the mechanism, fwiw.

― Winky Carrothers (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:05 (eight years ago)

Seconded on Odysseus. Good egg, enthusiastic and has brought a lot of people on this board closer together.
