I didn't mean that.

Nowell, you're like me, except you curse a lot.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

When have I cursed once today?

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Hello from Sweden!

You know what? Don't answer that.
Just stop calling me a "replica". I take being called a replica of anyone an insult. Unless it's...I don't know.

Nowell?

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Gotta go. I'll be back later today, I think.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

unless it's someone famouse like umm, uh, who's a good example, umm, oh, who's a famouse person that, oh forget it. Just be a replica of me, it's a lot easier.

Alright, I'll stop. I'm just trying to procrastinate because I don't want to do my homework.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I hate you both.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 22:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't want to do my homework either, Aja.

I did that earlier.

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 23:27 (nineteen years ago) link

That, oddly, must mean Nowell doesn't want to do her homework either?

I once was a bum on the street.. deangulbrry came by and gave me a thousand dollars. With his cash, I was fortunate enough to enroll in wrestling school and became the master of the diamond cutter.

I thought you were more a Leonard Part 6 person.

This thread has become too irritating to genuinely respond to now.

― Laura E (laurae55), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Hi Laura!

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:53 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, it is queer how the thread no longer reflects its title.

Should it be restarted?

― the bluefox, Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:09 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

JW is a nice guy.

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 08:24 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

you have all touched me in some way or another

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I still think you should become a rent boy.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (nineteen years ago) link

hahahaha

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (nineteen years ago) link

dammit N

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:14 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:16 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Euw, dudes!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:17 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:18 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

LIke a million slathering hot dogs.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:20 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:20 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Whoops, wrong thread.

― Danger Whore (kate), Thursday, 21 October 2004 09:24 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

My pleasure. ;-)

horribly phrased sentence on my part but hope you get the gist. dropping her birth name felt like doxxing to me.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:03 (six years ago) link

agree that "let's not do that going forward" is a good way to proceed wrt that issue

idk the answer to this or that it has been one person so much as a community presence for me (like KM)
it's a place i can go reliably, a place i can jib jab about stuff without much concern because no one can see me or know who i am? ilx can be relaxing in that way (except for when it's being toxic or i follow the wrong threads) + it's also a place where people like talking about music. you don't get that everywhere, or the people who like the same music i do or are interested in music the way i am aren't always compelled to talk with me about it in person (more now than before, but it was a long time between high school/college and a time when any of my close personal friends cared about music as much as i did)

i will say that i have gotten positive vibes from all ilxors i have met irl
and there have been quite a few!

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:07 (six years ago) link

i have gotten positive vibes from ~~all~~ the vast majority of ilxors
it needed to be corrected and i am not interested in talking about it

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:10 (six years ago) link

If now it comes across as if I am berating you, of all people, that is totally not what I intended! Just thought the transition from "we sure miss horseshoe" to "yeah Abby is the best" felt weird to me (which wasn't you even doing that in the first place).

Ilx is totally relaxing, a safe space for me too, very much so, and it should stay that way. I met good friends on here, stayed at ilxors places abroad, but don't get called by my first name on here because I don't use it as a dn. And that is awesome.

So ilx is awesome, all positive vibes for me for so many reasons. And it should stay that way imo, is what I meant. Without calling users by their real name when they themselves haven't used that.

But don't get me wrong, all <3 to you LL. 'LL' is fine.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 00:18 (six years ago) link

very kind of sund4r and others to say those thing. Much unexpected so thank you!

sund4r otm

― Erotic Wolf (crüt), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:06 (six years ago) link

LL otm, ILX is basically the one place I talk about the things that interest me the most because basically no one I know irl is interested in or interested in talking about those things.

Odysseus is a v important cog in the ILM wheel. The world needs proper enthusiasts

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link

Coming the mechanism I mean. IDK I'm not an engineer lol

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link

Cog in the mechanism. I hate my phone

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link

Most engineers argue against coming the mechanism, fwiw.

― Winky Carrothers (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:05 (six years ago) link

Seconded on Odysseus. Good egg, enthusiastic and has brought a lot of people on this board closer together.
