I just tried to Gmail something something to J. and I can't tell if it went through. And just after I was thinking it was so super awesome!

I am lingering at base camp today, although I don't know if I'll get what I planned to get done here done at all.

I just got it, dude. Thanks!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:28 (twenty years ago)

Jamanda! Hahahahaha!

Jesse used to call our friend Courtney "Jourtney" to cure the defect of her name not beginning with a J.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:30 (twenty years ago)

That one.

The John/Jaymc thing is just too awkward on this forum.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

For a good long while I only dated guys whose name started with J. I don't know how it happened like that, but it did. I even calculated the number of people I had smooched whose name started with J and it was somewhere in the 70% range. This was some time ago when I had the spare time for such endeavors. And wasn't married.

Note: the sample was not large

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:34 (twenty years ago)

For a long time I only dated guys named "Matt". To the point where it became clear that if your name was Matt, and I wanted to sleep with you, then you had no choice in the matter.

In fact, the last time I visited Chicago, in 97, I was visiting a "Matt".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

You can call me John, I don't mind.

I think one time when my brother was posting, he referred to me as "jaymc," which was weird.

I have been romantically involved, to varying degrees, with two Woods and a Woodward.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:37 (twenty years ago)

Weird, I have never even been interested in a Matt. Or a Wood.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:38 (twenty years ago)

Statistically, I gravitate toward A's and M's.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I don't recomment Matts, necessarily. None of them post here, right?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

Of course not.

(except for Cibula)

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

(xpost) Not on this thread.

I know quite a few Matts. Although one is technically a Mat.

The only ones I can think of on ILX are Perpetua, Cibula, and Chesnut.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

See, I do think it's a little odd to be referred to as "Chris" here, although I posted here as "Chris" for a few years, and it's hardly a secret, etc., but since I'm not one of those people who changes their screen name every day, then...

Well, it's all complicated.

I will call you Jaoyhmnc from now on.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Also Matt Coastaltown. And nothing against any of them, but I'm not sure I want to sleep with them.

Then again, I have more or less forsaken sex, so what does that even mean?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

It means you don't want to not sleep with them.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh, and Matt DC.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

These are the Matts I know I know, these are the Matts I know.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

The John/Jaymc thing is just too awkward on this forum.

Greatly simplified by just calling him "Jay" all the time.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

I prefer "Juancho".

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:52 (twenty years ago)

I've never had any compunction about being known by my real name -- I just picked a weirdo screen name three years ago not realizing that I'd be doing this for as long as I have, and I've just stuck with it out of habit, I guess.

People who know me in real life are certainly welcome to call me John, since that's really what they think of me as most of the time.

It's kind of funny when some people on ILX pick up on my real name and then start using it. I think Jess called me "John" once. Pete Smith calls me "John" all the time now.

Then there are some people who call me "Jay" in real life, which is weird to me, because I don't feel like a "Jay." Maria Tessa Sciarrino did this accidentally a few times (and I didn't want to correct her), but some people (cough*laurel*cough) insist on it even though they know better. (HAHA XPOST)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

(JC, however, is fine.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmccccccccccccccccccc

― Jeff. (Jeff), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

That's what [CONTROVERSIAL MODERATOR EDIT] calls me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

I knew one girl who insisted on calling me "J." all the time. Hated it.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:58 (twenty years ago)

I have no problem calling you John in real life but that is not how you call yourself here. And I prefer to call people what they want to call themselves. And yet "Jaymc" is a mouthful and "Jay" is wrong. So, I have gone with "J.", which is almost a pun.

On another forum where I used this same nick, people called me "Cas", which was fine, except then when I started using it here people shortened it to "Casu", which I kinda liked, as it was a cross between "kazoo" and "cashew".

The other thing: I don't generally refer to people by name. In fact, my high school girlfriend (it didn't work out) got very upset because I never referred to her by name when speaking to her. Which seems totally odd to me, but then again, I never refer to anyone's name when speaking to them. Even when trying to get their attention, I'm more likely to go just "hey!" rather than "hey, John!"

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

That was an xpost that ended up being on a related subject!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:00 (twenty years ago)

"J." is cool, too. Nabisco and Eazy both call me that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:02 (twenty years ago)

xpost - I am the same way about referring to people by name -- it really bugs me when people always say "Hi Amanda" every morning. Aren't we sort of past that? We see each other EVERY SINGLE DAY. I know this is stupid, but it makes me feel weird.

On the other hand, I have to remember my students' names, which is sometimes difficult, so I have to keep saying them.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

ILXors with the initials JC:

J0hn Cunningh@m
J0rdan C0hen
Jeremy C00mbes

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

J. is cool, but not Jay?

xpost I am also against saying "Good morning" to coworkers every day, as if it hasn't become one long ongoing blur. But I realize I might be in the wrong on this one.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

matt perpetua loves to be called "matty beebs". no joke.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

wait. is chris male or female? i thought chris was friends with nickalish . . .

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Kanye West

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

sorry, chris. i just spoke about you like you weren't here.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I don't mind "Jay" so much online (since it is, after all, a contraction of my screen name) -- just in real life. I like "J.," though, because it hints at intimacy (I know your name is John) but doesn't want to be presumptuous.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

This Chris (a/k/a Casuistry, from Portland, Ore.) is different from that other Chris (a/k/a Dale, Cprek, etc., from Lexington, Ky.). Both are male.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Jeez, and just an hour ago, I wrote up a Guide to Ethan Padgett Pseudonyms on the Stylus staff board.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:10 (twenty years ago)

Jeff is my third Jeff.

And FINAL Jeff.

Also - put on your critical thinking caps, Chi-ILXors, and tell me what is wrong with this link:

I am, however, maler.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

xpost - It's this one dude in particular that bugs me. He says "Hi Amanda" in exactly the same borderline-lascivious way every day and it just gives me the oogies. He's got this pasted-on smile and a blank stare. It also seems like a very salesman-y thing to do, to assert that you remembered the person's name. Again, I know I'm being dumb in rebelling against this. Still, though.

"western-oriented man" should probably be "Western-oriented man"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 21:12 (twenty years ago)

The sad thing is that there is possibly nothing at all wrong with that link.
