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.

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

*moves hand away*

The most immediate and longterm positive transformative effect on my life? Probably Suzy. Considering what I was going through when I met her, I probably wouldn't be alive without her. [/aw shucks]

― Danger Whore (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:30 (twenty-one years ago)

There are five or six of them I think. People who have opened me up to new circles of friends, looked out for me when I've been in a particularly bad way (and vice versa), taken me to exciting places in Europe, introduced me to fantastic new music or just provided a lot of good times. They know who they are I'm very grateful to all of them.

There's one ILXer who almost did transform my life in a very real sense, by almost sending me on a completely different career path. It never actually happened and maybe that's a good thing in the long run but it was wonderful to be given the opportunity.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I still think you should become a rent boy.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (twenty-one years ago)

dammit N

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not saying you can't as well.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't worry Steve, I'm not planning on charging YOU.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Euw, dudes!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Why euw? Kate would be all over this...

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, leave me out of this! Oh wait, that's just given me an ILX slash idea...

― Danger Whore (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

LIke a million slathering hot dogs.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

we're all quite alike tho. it would be like incest.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate perhaps, me nevah!! Stevem & Matt DC are like brothers. That kind of brotherly love is just wrong! bad, bad, BAD!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Matt’s very confused, as he walks with Stevem and no Alba, out the doorway and into the street. Stevem never says no to him when he looks at him like that, not even when Matt wants him to do something like dance on a table in some random pub so Matt can take pictures and pretend to stuff pound-notes he doesn’t actually have into his waistband. Not that he’d ever make Stevem do anything like that.
Maybe it’s just a Stevem thing, the not saying no, because Alba just did, he said it more than once, actually, and didn’t even weaken when Matt called him a treacherous dog, abandoning his comrades in their hour of need. So it’s just them, just him and Stevem and the rain.
Stevem’s arms are looped around his neck, hands linked loosely, head back on Matt’s shoulder. Matt’s arm’s around his waist, hand curled at his side, Stevem’s skin all nice and warm where his shirt’s ridden up, and Matt’s chilled fingers dig in a bit, trying to hide from the rain.

“Matt?” Stevem whispers, and Matt stops elbowing people out of the way, pausing under a lamp post to look at him.
“Yeah?”
“Right. Just checking.”

― Danger Whore (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoops, wrong thread.

― Danger Whore (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The official answer to this question is now 'Kate'. I'm not sure anything will ever be the same again.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:25 (twenty-one years ago)

My pleasure. ;-)

― Kissing Time At The Pleasure Unit (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

time to diffuse the situation with a thread-title based joke answer: jel

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

This scenario, coupled with that of Club Popular dancing in a linked circle to "Waterloo," has very nearly caused me to eat my breakfast a second time.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure my mind can comprehend ilx today

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Hello. I work in subtle ways, you probably won't notice the effects for a good few years yet. An epiphany awaits.

I've always found the writings of Hanle y to be very sage.

― jel, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

You are confusing sage with parsley.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

if you'd put the space before the y that'd be funnier, jsl

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I did put the space before the y! You are tripping all over my life. Stop it!

― jel, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i was not referring to you

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The space thing is overdone. Spice is the new frontier.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Behave yourselves or I'm going to get Constable Knapweed to take you in for a stern reprimand.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Now, I see. I was dumbfounded by the jsl, which I assumed was a typing error, or typo as the kids call them. A thousand apologies.

― jel, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I think 'jsl' is his secret bed name for me. Frankly, it makes me want to throw up.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

jsl is an abbrev. of 'jus sayin like'

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

What Alba said in his second sentence, except subsitute "ILx sex" for "it."

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Megatron. I KNOW he's here.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Thursday, 21 October 2004 10:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't know. I've been distracted into thoughts of Carol Vorderman's sram.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I posted an answer to this, but ILX ate it. It's either K4te St. Claire, whose existence indirectly and in a weird roundabout way eventually led me to ILX. It was a circuitous route that began in around 1997 when I randomly visited her website. What if I hadn't and had never found ILX? I wouldn't listen to Daft Punk or Basement Jaxx and I would still be a corny indie fuq and wouldn't know Ken Chu...

Which brings me to answer 2: Ken Chu, who I talk to every day and who is one of the best people I've ever known, and without a doubt the kindest. He manages to be one of my best friends, despite the distance.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway, it's surely JtN by a lonely mile.

― the bellefox, Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Who's Ken Chu?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

This one is way too obvious for me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

It's me, right?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Not THAT obvious. Try less obvious.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Who?

― Nowell (Nowell), Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)
