Seriously, fuck off.

Oh whatever, Nick, I'm just the only person who doesn't care about the repercussions of expressing it.

Sorry, shouldn't this be "In my opinion, I'm just the only person who doesn't care about the repercussions of expressing it"?
― n/a, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
It wasn't really clear to me whether that was an opinion or a fact.
I mean, the way you say, you seem pretty sure it's a fact.
I don't think it's a throw-away thing necessarily, but it's certainly a less direct kind of communication than in real life. I just think this arguing in front of others comes off as - and I seriously don't mean to offend anyone - less-than-adult-like behavior & it makes it awkward for everyone else "in the room." if someone has an issue with someone else, would emailing them directly be an option? I, for example, don't like hearing john tell laurel, or anyone else for that matter, to "fuck off" nor do I like hearing harsh judgments on someone else's personality. I have no issue with people expressing their dislike of an opinion or even another person but there are times when it's just a bit much for me as a bystander & perhaps others as well.

But surely it's an opinion?
― n/a, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm so CONFUSED.
i think there is more throwaway content online, mostly because the conversations are constant and generally tailored around a topic. IRL, if people have a discussion about music and one person says 'i don't like that stuff', the conversation ends. here, there is analysis of why that person doesn't like it, what the implications are for that, and it goes on and on.

I mean, Laurel, are you seriously implying that people don't like me but are afraid to say so? We've already been through this once, and I don't want to have to leave Simon's in tears again.

i also think that usually in real life people don't just say 'i don't like you' to someone else while within a group of people...

Nick, Why are you still at work? Go outside and frolic!

i think i need to slow down on the water today. yesterday i left work with the worst migraine i've had in months, and guessed dehydration was the trigger. so i've been necking water today and have probably been to the bathroom about 5 times already. in 3 hours. i can't win.
― colette, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I drink alot of water too and I hate it when I reach that feeling of being waterlogged.
― KitCat, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I am constantly amazed at the kinds of issues a lack of water can produce.
― sweet tater, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I love drinking water!

I'm so hungry! I was given money to pay a pizza guy when he comes, even though I'm not getting any pizza, so I have to wait up here. C'est dumb.
― KitCat, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I love drinking water as well!
I'm great about drinking water during the week b/c I have one of those glass quart canning jars at my desk that I constantly refill. During the weekends I'm less good about drinking as much water b/c I don't have it always within reach of my left side.
― sweet tater, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Totally.
― KitCat, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
can't you take a slice of pizza as your fee for waiting?
last time i worked in a chicago office building, i started getting screaming headaches every day about the same time. my coworker said she'd had the same problem, and it was not enough water combined with sealed windows/AC, etc. i started drinking water and sure enough, no more headaches! it's just harder to remember as a temp since every office is different and sometimes i'm on reception and can't really get up when i want to.
xp- toby got me a bottle that's like a nalgene bottle with chococat on the side, which i bring to work most days. i try to drink at least 3 'chococats' (650ml) a day.
― colette, Friday, 14 September 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
Yay CHOCOCAT! I have a nalgene bottle, but I haven't been that great at remembering to bring it to work this week.
At home, I'm always asking Nick for his water because I'm a lazy wife.
I might take a piece if it's veggie.

the expectations here are even lower than i'd expected. i sent over the thing assigned after about 2 hours or so. she walked past another half hour later and i asked if it was ok, and if the thing i'd sent last night was ok as well. 'oh, i haven't had time to look at that yet'. so i'm holding onto the third one until well after lunch.
she also asked me to find out who was doing advertising for a brand, and who was parent company. she said 'you can use google, but i'll say i've already tried and come up with nothing'. of course, it was the first hit on my search. sigh.

I've been drinking massive amounts of water lately, too, to deal with a touch of dry mouth. Which also means I have to pee 15 times a day. Is that good for you in any way? Like, maybe I'm flushing out my kidneys?

Still going to that DJ set thing by my and matt's friend tonight, and they fixed the flyer so it lines up. Apparently the gif from the other day was a "beta".

I get a feeling in the fall...a feeling of great possibility. Like when I'm walking down the sidewalk if I turn around or turn the corner there will be something really great there. It's the opposite of a feeling of impending doom--I can feel a great calm looming.
Also, I always feel ready to start a love affair with some wonderful boy.

I can't wait till the smell comes! And the sound of leaves rustling around!
MUST FIND PARTNER BEFORE THE GREAT SLEEP COMES UPON US sort of feeling. It's like how a cut flower that is stops getting water suddenly opens up and releases pollen all over the place--the coming greater death makes me want the little death.

xps I would say so, yeah. The time I saw him was at the Pfork fest in 2006, and he was performing with Mr. Lif, who I am much more familiar with. It was hot as hell, so that detracted from my enjoyment a bit, but it was still really cool.
