So many people. From Marcello to Kate and a million people in between. I would not really say they had a transformative effect on my life, but I like most people on ILX. :-D

Man, Nowell was a mess. I wonder how many kids she's got now.

Nowell? I don't remember her. :-(

Probably Luna and Mandee, because they're the ones I've most corresponded with outside ILX. Also Ed, Mark H and Hanna, who've I've met outside ILX (Ed twice now).
It wasn't particularly transformative, but it was certainly weird meeting RJG and Cathy in real life a couple of weeks ago: I was walking down a mountain in Barcelona, and there wasn't a soul in sight, until suddenly I hear someone yelling "Are you Finnish?!", and I see two people on the other side of the road, and it was RJG and Cathy.

wow, that is weird!

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 14:10 (sixteen years ago) link
It's not so weird because he was nekkid yelling "A RED BARN? A RED BARN? WAH?"
― nathalie, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 14:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Apparently they spotted me walking down the hill, but didn't know how to pronounce my name, so they just decided to yell "Are you Finnish?". At first I didn't realize who they were, so I was like, "Huh, does it show?".
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link
How *do* you pronounce your name?

that is an incredible story!
― jed_, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
That's quite correct, except that the "u" sound is short, so it's more like "to" than "two".
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
omg!!!! that tuomas + RJG + Cathy story is incredible!!!

hahaha "are you finnish??" that is great
― rrrobyn, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:34 (sixteen years ago) link
we did attempt "tuomas??" a couple of times but he had earphones in his ears
thankfully, it was tuomas, eventually, and not just some random dude probably having to think "why are these two people yelling 'are you finished???' at me??"
― RJG, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link
hooray, i've been pronouncing tuomas' name correctly!
― get bent, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link
rjg, you should have just tackled him, that would have made the story better
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not sure how you even recognized me, the road was like 20 meters wide. You must have better sight than me, I never would've recognized some random dude on the other side of the road as an ILXor based only on photos posted here.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link
to be fair, you were in a shopping cart
― ghost rider, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Did you recognise them as RJG and Cathy after they approached you (and before they told you)?
― ailsa, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Then again, I'm pretty bad at remembering anyone's faces. Just the other day some girl came to talk to me on the tram, but I had no idea who she was, so I just tried to pretend I remembered her, and I was thinking "Who the hell is she? I hope she isn't someone I've fooled around with and then forgotten..." It was only after I left the tram I remembered that she was someone I knew from the uni, I'd even stayed overnight at her place at a pyjama party.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link
No, I don't think so. Though RJG was wearing those same cool sunglasses he's posted pictures of, I might've recognized them.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I think you are rather distinctive in many ILX0Rs minds Tuomas.
― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
GUYS: Have you worn a bra?
― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Amongst many other distinctive threads.
Were you wearing a bra at the time, Tuomas?
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Probably Ally C for getting me to go to Bowlie with him, thereby setting me on a path to ruin and mentalism.

Tough question for me - maybe Kim, without whom I would not have known about the bone church before going to the Czech Ruplic. Or maybe Barry.
