Subject: 'es a mint unit, 'e is i hate my life. dan, if i get sick, i am going to kick your punk arse. i reveled myself on the MA and got flamed for my fun. they can bite me. you're still there too, buddy? wow. dan and jordan = people with high pain thresholds anne, go nuts, and knock yourself out. americanspeak is fine by me, and aussiespeak (i hope) is fine by everyone else. the subject line was classic.... plus being crushed is one of my favorite pasttimes. find girl, make friends, ask out, get crushed. :) i'm cool with that. elisabeth, welcome to my life. i am the one who gets invited to parties and so forth out of pity, and then sits in the corner, watching the happy couples, feeling really out of place, and drinking myself into a surly oblivion. and i'm 17. boo-freaking-yeah. Eric, the answer is lovelorn and unhappy, and really up for the party. i'm sure i'll find someone's arm to cry on. you know what sucks? having 4 assessments on one day sucks. drained completely. can't even be witty. i'm in the dead zone. assessments SUCK!!!! so another one of my best friends is linked up. i am slowly crossing them out, and have vowed (i'm lying) to be the last single guy in the year :/ but it's good for free beer. wow. down on myself tonight. i got a credit in the rio tinto chemistry competiton, which means i'm in the top 5% of the top 1% of smart gits in Australia. i am the alpha-geek. i have a day off tomorrow. teacher's strike! yay. i've worked out what it says! it says.... "you're living in a fantisy world, we can't go on like this, girl, we've made an investment"!!! yay for me. that vocoder is hard to make out. Jordan, king of rightous indignation and self pity.

Well, my day started off on the wrong foot. I just found out one of the authors of the Principia Discordia, Kerry Thornley, also known as Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, died of a cardiac arrest over the break. Nothing personally touching, but it's still a loss. To quote the Principia on death: "And so it is that we, as men, do not exist until we do; and then it is that we play with our world of existent things, and order and disorder them, and so it shall be that Non-existence shall take us back from Existence, and that nameless Spirituality shall return to Void, like a tired child home from a very wild circus." Anyway, on to happier matters. I have to contradict Anne on one bit of advice: Never ask a guy what he's thinking. The simple fact of the matter is that half the time, we aren't thinking a damned thing when you ask. Unless he has that blatantly pensive look on his face, don't bother. Any answer you get will either be a lie or a tailored truth. And nice guys and girls do win in the end. I'm expecting to reach the end in a couple decades or so. ;P Hail Eris! ERIC P.S. Uhhh, I like Ben Folds. A lot. Not more than Darren, but I like him. ;) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Dec 1998 10:01:55 -0500 From: Dan Cohen Subject: on men and thoughts It's good that I'm not as stupefied as last night, because I actually have something of note to say. I really have to agree with Anne on the subject of men and thinking. If a man is asked what he is thinking by a female, chances are at first he'll be a little surprised and he might fumble with a story or some sort of line to explain himself. But as relationships go on and bonds are formed between people, it comes to the point where men will reveal their thoughts to the point of acuteness to those they love and trust. Men in general are very shy, much more so than they'd like those around them to know; the masks of machismo they wear only serve as converses to their true nature. We fear the fact that we might reveal who we are to everyone. Sure, we go watch football and get drunk and look at girlie magazines and be crude, but inside most men are really very kind creatures. There are exceptions, of course: the men who beat their wives, the ones who shoot abortion doctors, the ones who leave their families and sleep around, etc. Maybe I'm being idealistic here, but I believe that they too have good in them. It's just that they accept society's image of masculinity to the point where they try with all their hearts to follow it. What am I trying to say? If you have something to ask a man, ask it. It might take a while, but we'll always reveal something close to what we feel, little by little, in the end. We're good for that at least. Oh yes. And the Bills were mighty robbed. And Flutie is always the man. And even though I was rooting for the Lions on Thursday because they always have to play on Thanksgiving, that coin toss call was a joke. Blah blah blah.

I'm talking about the much talked about "Rubber Sled" in particular. I had friends over and the track was on. During the repetitious Shouting part. Someone asked "why would someone write a horrible song called "Rub Her Slit!" And you know what? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S SAYING ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE SONG!!! He throws in a few "Rubber Sled"s here and there... but if you listen closely, you'll get it. I hear the sound of bubbles bursting....

Marcus: My mom says you sound cute and you should "come up and see her sometime." Not sure what that means, but.... Eric: I'm happy in love. Dammit. And I don't just mean my current relationship, I just have a knack for getting involved with really cool guys. It's not 'cause I'm hot. I mean, that's subjective. It's my ability to find out if they're interested, and if I'm reasonably sure, then I wile them into asking me out and then smooch them as soon as it seems appropriate. I've found this progression works rather well. At that point, if a relationship blooms, I'm *nice* to him. (Some women forget this step.) It works. Russell Crowe proves that there's something in the water down under that makes for inexplicable sexiness. I have paint on me. I'm taking a shower. - -carrie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Dec 1998 21:46:49 EST From: JARAMINI@aol.com Subject: Love, Football, and other precious matters Anne: > that out-of-bounds call was completely suspect Not suspect at all, he was out of bounds, he wasn't pushed out, nothing, an awful call, I'm from the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area, so, that completely and totally sucked. Also, I agree with your love viewpoints. My love life hasn't been broadcasted around here, I tend to bitch about it on a personal basis with a few people rather than putting it out for public consumption. To sum it up: general failure with more ironic twists than you can shake a stick at (what your motivation for shaking a stick at them, I can only guess, but, if that's your thing, far be it from me to stop ya). For an example of your rightness about dangerous guys, when once courting a young lady, she told me that she couldn't go out with be because she didn't "go for the good guys". Almost a compliment, gets me nowhere, but, something to ponder. I rarely post around here, so, nobody knows me except the coterie/Pit people on here, but, the only way to become a regular is to post... regularly, let's call this an experiment. Tonight has pretty much sucked, we got slaughtered at our swim meet, and I'm disappointed in myself, my team, and worried about what will become of us all during this season, morale was low, times were high, it just wasn't a good thing. I really only could add incoherent rambling at this point, so, I'll quit while I'm only a little behind. - --John ICQ# 14023175 "Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene.'" --Homer J.
