o man julia lennon theory to thread

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

bwahahaha. i've probably had to remove this girl from the backstage area at some point.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

classics.

Wow, this chick's CD collection is almost a perfect subset of mine, except for the huge run of John Mayer stuff, and the Strokes completism. That is DEEPLY disturbing, embarrassing, etc. However, the opportunities for Tori Amos-style gambits are virtually unlimited should I run into her.

Not enough metal.

this thread revive has made me laugh so hard my coworker is worried about me.

p.s. yanc3y how did you find that?

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

he's the jimmy nichol of the strokes

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

just imagine if blogs had existed during the heyday of the rolling stones et al...

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

she is my favorite girl ever

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

it's me, amateurist!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, YOU'RE the blog author?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

o man can you hook me up with that chick? (and dude do you really own all those travis cd's? wtf?)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It's sort of sweet to think of big rock stars getting with girls who own that many soundtracks and Police albums.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

can someone cut and paste more of the diary?

― kephm, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool is dead! It's all about oral sex techniques now!

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

she owns every police album cept zenyatta mondatta right?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:07 (twenty-one years ago)

the travis cds were a joke but the john mayer singles are ALL MINE

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:08 (twenty-one years ago)

what i find fascinating by it is how even though the thing reads as pretty depressing to all of us, she clearly think it's glamorous. she's seeing herself through the lens of almost famous while it's all happening!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh c'mon, it's totally glamorous. She'll look back on this fondly for a lifetime. Maybe in thirty years Kate Hudson will interview her for her role in the new mother-daughter remake of The Banger Sisters.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Nice boob job!

― kickitcricket (kickitcricket), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

It's sort of sweet... um, she's really hot?

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw julian in circuit city buying some xbox games a couple of weeks ago. he's not looking so fabulous these days.

(room on fire still sounds fantastic to me, btw)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

too many pringles

― kephm, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

haha - "these days"

seriously - to matt groening, cameron crowe, gilbert gottfried or whoever the fuck is editing the 'best music writing of 2004' anthology this paragraph:
Here's a low point though, because I never talk about the low points. I woke up hungover Sunday morning with no memory of Saturday night past 11 (what/who I did), and then I came close to screaming and crying because I thought I was in the room alone. It took me a full five minutes or so to realize that Julian was just in the shower and not in another bed somewhere with another girl(s). Took me only about 5 seconds after that to realize I was about to be sick, so I stumbled to the bathroom and managed to get to the toilet and threw up until I was puking bile. Jules standing there in the shower looking down at me and looking dead said "if only I could hide it as well as you do." Then for different reasons I came close to a breakdown and suddenly hated him more than I'd ever hated anything, but he said head up, baby, this shit isn't new to you anymore, you never do anything you don't intend to. So I got over it, as one does, then a smile and a kiss and a fuck and a song and back to normal.

is easily the best thing i've read on the strokes and if that fucking ilx thread on the strokes can make the cut (nevermind the usual awful 60% of whatever makes the cut) then this is a must.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

That paragraph is straight out of 'The Rules of Attraction'. It's fascinating and only surprising in how boring their lives seem. She is hot, but she also seems like a bit of a recovering goth, as opposed to being a blank 16 yo russian model which is more what I would expect from the lead singer of the strokes, as opposed to dealing with some looney chick who maintains a blog about their relationship.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

babygirl if you read this: we are not laffing at you, we are not laffing with you. we are merely laying your head on our shoulder, stroking (ha!) your hair and whispering 'and then what happened?' and 'everything's gonna be alright', and then slowly nudging your head toward our crotch.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

today the part of cinniblount will be played by chris carrabba

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

yikes
xpost

― Magic City (ano ano), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

man someone needs to email this link to vincent gallo with the addendum "go get 'em tiger!"

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder if Ned only doesn't think this girl is attractive because of the Strokes connection?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

blount wants to rescue her!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we going to do that thing where every ILX thread turns into an extended discussion of whether or not various girls are hot? My earlier jokes rely on my belief that she's not particularly hotter than thousands of other girls wandering around Manhattan. Whatever. She seems very normal and not particularly deserving of ridicule, pity, congratulation, or anything much at all.

And I'm not even just saying that because she's sure to track the link over and post on here. I'm saying it because I remember the shameful responses to my "electronic newsletter" during that three magical weeks I spent with Miki from Lush.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, though, the thread is funny but the spirit is mean. Let her be young and free (and moderately hot and/or wealthy and/or compliant).

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Nothing is deserving of ridicule as such...

"This shit with Julian is starting to get to me, I'll admit that. I look at it this way, though. When you're drinking skim milk, it makes you feel like you're doing something good for yourself, even though it doesn't taste that great. What you really want is a nice big ice cream sundae. I'm the ice cream sundae, with whipped cream and a fucking cherry on top. The man has close to zero will power when it comes to anything that's not his music, so I can tell you that he's not going to keep drinking the skim milk without going for the ice cream a lot. Everyone knows the reality of the situation, we just don't talk about it. It's kind of tough, but I'm hanging in there with him. If I think about it, I hate him, but I can't stop this. I don't know. He's manipulating me and I'm happily playing along. It's all good. I'm fucked, but whatever. It's been fun; it's still going to be fun. It's now just REALLY FUCKED UP.

Pretend you're not fucking me, pretend you didn't fall in love with me, I DON'T CARE!! Make it look like you're settling down and going for the safe bet; pretend you feel better about youself. I'll still be around. I'll still let you bang the shit out of me every day of the week, then you can think about how fucked up you are and hate yourself for what you're doing! You're using me, I'm using you.

That's all I can say."

wait wait what?

No, seriously, I don't find her attractive.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean if anything, based on what little I know of both, she seems like Gear's roommate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

"I'm going crazy now; my first love got dumped for ANDY FUCKING RODDICK."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

er that was an xpost... nabisco you had me for a sec with that miki berenyi thing

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't mock her at all. honestly she sounds sweet and swept up by a life that sounds pretty fucking fun to me (at least the good parts). i'm surprised that she's willing to air it all in public. i wonder if jules knows...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

That last excerpt got me: I think I've had that relationship!

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Less glamorous, though.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

she's pretty mediocre looking, and are we sure this isn't some strange twisted fantasy webpage? I haven't delved too deeply into it...

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

(No, to further the milk metaphor, it was like I was lactose intolerant, and the milk was like "drink me!" and I was like no, no, really, I shouldn't, it'll make me feel bad, but the milk was like "c'mon, c'mon have a drink," and then I would, and then it'd be like "I will never drink milk again" and the milk would be like "yeah, sure, whatever" and so on like that.)

― notbisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah she seems sweet and smart (going to columbia soon, maybe ally'll meet her) and her relationship (regardless of the proper nouns) sound better than 80% of the relationships i've been in (95% of which were better than the alternative) so more power to her.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I'm excited for her too. I think she's having fun. She's in for heartbreak at some point, but it seems like she's fully aware of that.
