[Iai]

In any case, here's the situation I was put in earlier today, which looking back, I find pretty funny.

My best friend rang me up, asking to go out. My best friend is a girl, who recently broke up with her fiancee of 3 1/2 years. I'll let your imagination go wild on that one.

She wanted me to go out because she'd agreed with go out with my ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, and didn't want to be a '3rd wheel'.

Where were they going? Well, they were going to a pub. Unbeknownest to my ex-girlfriend, my best friend had suggested this pub because one of her other friends was having a birthday party there. We'll call the birthday girl 'K'.

Well, K is the reason me and my ex-girlfriend broke up. I apparently made a comment about her, my ex-girlfriend got jealous, I couldn't be bothered to deal with her clingy moodswings any more, and the relationship fizzled out.

So I would have gone to a party with my ex-girlfriend, the reason me and my ex-girlfriend broke up, my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend (who she cheated on me with, by the way), and my **** buddy.

Can anyone out-wierd that? I kinda regret not going, but I have too much work. And dealing with the fallout probably wouldn't have been fun.

As it is, I'm talking to another ex-girlfriend on MSN, explaining to her why things will never work out between us, and all we'll ever have is sex. She's a devout Christian who doesn't believe in sex before marriage.

What a day. And I haven't even left the house!

[Iai]

Sorry dude. Did you see the real madrid vs barcelona score? What a game!!

You're the personification of the sitcom. You should have gone! Just imagine all the Larry David-esque misunderstandings you'd get into

[KappaKid17]

I wish I could've tagged some sarcasm onto the earlier post; that's what I was trying to convey....Anyways...

Being in Rome right now means being home to Poles away from Poland, so there were a ton of drunk Polish guys at a bar last night. I happened to be wearing an old German military jacket (just a german flag on each sleeve, no Nazi insignia or remnants of it). Polish guy walks up to me, shoves me, calls me a "****ing Nazi" in Polish (translated by his friend). I explained to him I was from America, things settled down, and then began the 50 hour explanation of why Poles don't like Germans. I wasn't paying attention most of the time because A: there was a hot British chick that I'd been talking to still eyeing me across the way, and B: Anyone who knows anything about WWII knows why Germans and Poles don't mix...So yeah, I just sat there, nodded, let him finish, and then told him to go the bathroom because he was sweating more than a grown man should.

I got it - I was being facetious.

I used to like those jackets. Just a shame EVERYONE wears them round here.

That's what I'm thinking now. But like I said, dealing with all the snide comments and stupid jealousy for the next few weeks would have sucked.

Oh, I forgot - both my best friend and my ex-girlfriend are bisexual. So I've a suspicion the reason that they invited her out was to try and initiate a threesome.

My life rules.

[Happymeal]

Meh, at least your life is interesting. I do pretty much the same thing everyday over and over again for the past year. Having no friends to relate to doesn't help much either.

[KappaKid17]

:thumb:

i've seen people w/'em everywhere 'round here too, but 5 euro from a street vendor was definitely worth it despite the trendiness of the jacket.

Sidenote: the university that I transferred from, the same university that never did anything great while I was there for 2 years, is going to have Muse next month. I ****ing hate St. Mary's.

[leiferikson]

Military jackets are enjoying a bit of a renaissance at the moment. Whats next? Airwalks?

[Iai]

You've got us. :(

Edit: To Happymeal.

[leiferikson]

If I had any friends who possessed even a tiny fraction of the average coolness that most people have here I'd be soo much happier. But then I wouldnt be cool enough to be their friend :( Its a no-win situation

[Happymeal]

Ah well, things have been looking up recently. I just hope this summer will be better than the last:)

[Zappa]

Things are looking up for me, too.

Hooray for springtime.

Start of May. It's not exactly going to break the bank :rolleyes: Just come down, let her buy you a drink cus she'll be minted, then go home. Win/win.

Anyhow, speak to you tomorrow about it, I gotta go get my **** together for another thrilling term of college ;)

I hear Ian went to your gig on Saturday. What a thrilling turn up for the books :amaze:

Laters, potaters.

While I'm in alt&indie, thought I might say how spiffing Rilo Kiley are. :)

Hooray indeed.

I joined an honorary society (has Greek letters but it's more of an honor roll) and they elected me president. I'll have to see how this works out, since I've never been in charge of something like this before. But I was apparently the most qualified, so I must be able to do a good job.

Also, I went back home for the weekend to see my friend at another college perform in a play. Sup lead role and he's only a freshman! Good show.

Tomorrow you will go out with your dad and shoot gunz.

And the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that...

i hope not. i am a horrible gun-shooter, and being horrible every day would depress me.

but you would get good at it because it would be the same thing everyday! you do understand where I was going with this, right? the bill murray movie?

[biografiend]

i understand.

[asymm]

I just watched Punch-Drunk Love...

'Tis brilliant. I love P.T. Anderson... he needs to get crackin' on a new script/movie soon! or at least reveal some information about what he's doing.

Actually, just found out that we have some info. Daniel Day-Lewis to star. Adaptation of "Oil!" 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. This will be P.T. Anderson's first movie adaptation...

[Little Man being Erased]

Good film indeed. I still don't understand the significance of the scene at the beginning though (1st scene I think).

[br3ad_man]

Driving tests suck.

Meh, played a gig Saturday and it was a poor turnout/technical problems, meh. Got drunk afterwards though due to the fact twas our bassist's 18th the next day :thumb:

[A Goonie]

Every once in a while I get random calls from him about people he's met. Like the times when he partied with the Walkmen, hung out for a bit with Matt Sharp, drank a few beers with Beck's crew, and so on.

[YDload]

He should have asked Omar how he went from being a punk/indie rock guitarist who didn't know a thing about music, to a prog rock shredder.

[sweboy]

And how he can keep that fro' so smooth and bulky.

Wow, supposedly the TMV guys are pretty quiet/shy though. Meh, Ive just realised Ive lost a CD for the first time :upset: I dont know how as I havent played it in ages and I am paranoid Ive lost others

[leiferikson]

I think CDs are made to dissolve into thin air if they havent been thought about for 6 months. Unless you have them neatly organised on a shelf. In that case, you'll take out a cd you havent listened to in ages only to find hundred of mysterious scratches on it. Well it seems to happen to me all the time anyway.

I do have them neatly organised though, and I still lost it somehow. BTW I have no siblings that would steal my Cds

Yeah, I've never lost a CD before either. In fact I had never really lost anything of great importance, until a few weeks ago when I lost my nice new mobile phone. :upset:

[Butch Walker]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Republic of Loose in the near future. They're quite an odd Dublin band who are tipped to make it big, but will most likely collapse into drug abuse, which is very cliché I must admit. I'm supposed to be acquainted with a couple of the members, but I have no idea how I would be, I've just been told I am.

Here's their strongest single: http://s1.youshareit.com/files/405cb1f5ca6dd7767f166507a4483117.html

I'm the same way. I keep staying up until 5:30 - 6:00 then in the morning I have so much trouble making it to my morning classes.

[Bartender]

Last year, I got into the rhythm of going to bed around 7pm, then waking up around 2am and spending some time online before going to my lectures and such.

Didn't work this semester though - too many afternoon classes - and nearly resulted in my being kicked out.

[Iai]

I was in bed at about 00.30 last night. I didn't actually get to sleep until 6. I can't sleep at the best of times, but this is just stupid.

[ATM]

It's really taking a toll on my grades.

Good idea, but I can't see that working for me. I work until 6.10 every weekday, then don't get home until just before 7. Then I have to eat, and I can't sleep after just eating. The eventual result of that would probably mean me getting the right amount of sleep, but not having any time to do coursework at home - I'd get to sleep by about midnight, then not get up till 8.

Wish it'd work though.

[Iai]

It's really taking a toll on my grades.
It's certainly taking a toll on my coursework. But I'm lucky - exams have never been a problem for me.

[ATM]

You are lucky. I have never tested well. Luckily I am getting out of this school and going to an art/music school.

[vallely2004]

I hate exams full stop. I love coursework. But guess what? Out of my subjecs I have one piece of coursework, I am a guaranteed failure this year

[leiferikson]

No, I've heard of them though. Have you any songs to share?

I dont unfortunately. I caught them live the other week and was extremely extremely impressed. They definitely deserve to be big. I think they won some award in Ireland recently. Are you from Ireland? I saw you mention something about it but I might have read it wrong. Ooh one of the chalets was wearing this tight as pvc dress thing (she was a girl) which accentuated her epic breasts nicely. If the place had been a tad darker I might have been tempted to do something lewd

[Iai]

epic breasts
refl

Vallely: Coursework is always a total disaster for me. For example, yesterday I finally finished my song for my A2 Music, only to find the server for 3rd year students was down and my work hadn't saved properly. 4 hours of work, lost.

Meanwhile, with exams.....I don't know. There's definitely a trick to exams - you have to be able to bullshit well enough to convince some guy you've never met that you know what you're talking about. And I'm naturally good at talking bullshit.

And I can't help with your dream, sorry. I have enough strange dreams of my own to think about :) In fact, I've been sleeping in an armchair in our living room for the past couple of nights. I seem to dream more in that.

[ZEROthirtythree]

**** son, Im so sorry :upset:

That's exactly why I've always said 'The Automobile is not a toy'. My brother almost got into a major accident because he was dicking around. Bummer, hope you feel better some time.

~hugs~ that's so awful. I've spent the whole day being terrified one of my friends was going to die, but thank god she's ok. I wish it was the same for you.

What the hell. Twice in a week? Is this forum cursed?

All the best to both of you.

Sorry to hear that. :(

Oh, poo. :(

im sorry :(

Feel better, ZEROthirtythree. This past fall, my friend commited suicide 3 weeks after his brother did the same. It's not quite the same, but I feel your pain. Take care.

IHUN, I'm leaving mx. Period. Take care, everyone. It's been fun.

Thank you all. :) I have never dealt with anything like this before, so any support is great. It still feels like it's a dream, like it never even happened. His face keeps going through my mind constantly :upset:

Take care RollerQueen. I really enjoyed reading every single one of your posts! bye :wave:

[pixiesfanyo]

:( bye Dan.

[Bartender]

My friend died, via car accident. Everytime I rode with him I knew he was driving too dangerously. I dont think anyone cares, but this really sucks, and I can't stop crying! I won't be on mx for a while because of this, so take care all of you.

:-/ I would try and say something comforting, but I'm crap at things like that. So just, good luck dealing with it all, and I'll look forward to seeing you back :)


IHUN, I'm leaving mx. Period. Take care, everyone. It's been fun.

Why?

[Happymeal]

What the hell. Twice in a week? Is this forum cursed?

All the best to both of you.

Actually, that's the cause of death of the 2 guys.


Condolences to RQ and 033:(

[The NPC]

Hmm, well if you all want to feel better then listen to Richard Hell, now.

[Happymeal]

[Luxor]

Catch ya on the flipside, RQ.

[br3ad_man]

That sucks so much ZERO, you're in my prayers mate.

Bye RQ, you were always one of my favourite MXers, I always wished that you would post more.

[vallely2004]

Oh by RQ, you shall be missed :upset:

At least you've been up to something.

[A Goonie]

i wish i could catch the pokémon :(

[asymm]

I can't believe how much I love Archer Prewitt. I might have to buy his backcatalog now...

[leiferikson]

The gulag was pretty sweet, the heating was a pleasant surprise, and I made friends with a dwarf named Igor who smuggled in rice cakes. So overall it wasn't too bad, except of course for all the hard labour and savage rape. Thanks

[The NPC]

*sigh* Im bored and at college, entertain me

Oh by RQ, you shall be missed :upset:

Study.

[vallely2004]

Study.
Well I could do that, but I really am sick of college and I have no drive to do any work right now, even with 4 essays due tomorrow. Less than 7 weeks left thank god!

Anything on Russian Lit from the Soviet Era from 1917-1991.

that's about the most boring topic ive ever heard.

[sweboy]

I have to write a paper about the movie The Day After Tomorrow for tomorrow. Yay!

[vallely2004]

Russian Literature a that time? Brilliant! Then again I like my 20th century history including The Cold War

[Master Arkam Kannon]

isnt that today?

[leiferikson]

Are you feeling ok? Soviet history might be ok but Soviet literature, hmm....

[el doctor]

Mmmm, new leg of the Pixies reunion tour. I plan on getting right on those tickets.

[vallely2004]

Are you feeling ok? Soviet history might be ok but Soviet literature, hmm....

No I think it would be interesting, if you read things in context they are a lot more interesting. If you read a peice of lit without knowing when/who/where/why etc... you dont get as much out of it

[ef drummer 89]

i forgot who i was yesterday... literally just forgot my name, where i was at, everything....

[Electrocution]

The only good part of that movie was the Americans illegally immigrating into Mexico.

All the texts are by authors that were against Communism and Stalinism.

[Little Man being Erased]

The best part about that movie was the fact that I haven't seen it.

You're clearly forgetting the random CGI wolf attack

You're clearly forgetting the random CGI wolf attack

"Okay, I have to leave a library in downtown Manhattan and enter a Russian fishing vessel that's right outside in order to get antibiotics for this girl I have a crush on. Now there are wolves on that ship, so I'll have to distract them while the smart black kid and the rich jerk flee to safety. Hurry before we all freeze instantly!"

That's the least propable thing ever, but there you have it!

Mmmm, new leg of the Pixies reunion tour. I plan on getting right on those tickets.

You won't regret it, they put on an excellent show, though I only saw them play a short set. **** Chili Peppers.

pixplzkthx

I just played basketball today after almost 4 months. It felt so good, besides the fact that my vision was so much better at that time. If only I can afford contacts. Balls.

[biografiend]

gah. i hate sports.

how could you possibly hate sports

[Phunphone]

how could you possibly hate sports

Basketball = no good
Soccer = alright
Swimming = best sport ever.

So, it depends.

This week I've had two presentations, one about Modernism in Literature and the other about Psychological Illnesses.. gah, it lasted for 3 days, and it's still not finished. Then, I played the worst show I ever did in 2 years. I have recordings though, I will post the "not so complete utter crap" ones.

[Iai]

I hope you mean to play, and not to watch. That list you gave gets progressively more fun to do if you go downwards, and progressively more fun to watch if you go upwards.

Anyway, I'm usually terrible at working out tracks by ear, but in the past 3 days I've figured out the piano riff from Stem/Long Stem, the violin passage and opening chords from Art Of Life, the melody and chords to Kiss From A Rose, and the middle eight from The Model (Kraftwerk). That's more than I've worked out ever, I think.

[leiferikson]

Swimming is only fun when there are big inflatable octupii in the pool. Or those blue styrofoam (?) mats on which you have aquatic battles. Basketball I dont think is very fun to play or watch on account of it being too repetitive. Football (soccer) "pwns" every other sport there is.

[Iai]

Slamball > everything.

Wait, so you think soccer isn't repetitive? Back and forth, back and forth...maybe a goal scored...wow.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm sure there's more to it than that.

[Happymeal]

What I don't get is why it's the most popular sport in the world.

[The NPC]

I'm sure there's more to it than that.

Kicking the ball, a couple of slide tackles, or headers? The point is soccer is just as boring as basketball, or as he's put it.

Please dont send me to the gulag again. I've only just begun to walk and sit properly again

[The NPC]

Because it's cheap.

[leiferikson]

Nah, look at the soccer (i'll call it that in this thread only) world cup. Whats the basketball equivalent of that?

I, and millions of others, find football exciting for the same reasons you find whatever sport you like exciting.

[The NPC]

:rolls eyes: I wont even dignify that with a response.


Beacuse it's true. Soccer is just as boring and repetitive as basketball. Also, how many upsets are there in soccer? Not very many, you basically know who's going to win before the match has even begun.

[ZEROthirtythree]

EDIT: HAH! we think alike kiddo!

[YDload]

You people are silly. Soccer is definitely a fun sport to play, and the "back and forth" tendencies of basketball are almost non-existent because there's no shot clock and the field is much larger. Although it IS pretty boring to watch, but understanding why the rest of the world watches it anyway is akin to understanding why Americans watch baseball.

ZERO: I downloaded an Eels song just because of you. They're okay, but I think I've heard that song "Novacaine for the Soul" before.

Ha!

Well I don't think it's fun for my friends because I drain the 3 ball all day.

[Iai]

I've never know anyone from outside America take even the slightest interest in basketball.

The Olympics doesn't count. Every sport has an international competition there.

[QUOTE=no peros calentes]Also, how many upsets are there in soccer? QUOTE]

How about Greece winning Euro 2004? Not many people saw that coming.

Football is superior because its easy to follow, doesn't keep stopping every couple of minutes, clear rules (offside is the only one that could be considered hard to understand), and its easy to distinguish when good things happen eg. a breathtaking piece of skill, a 25-yard screamer etc. And a lot of people say its boring how there arent many goals scored, well that only makes it even more exciting and special when a goal is scored

[Iai]

Yoa Ming?
.....is that a flame? :confused:

Let's go and play the World's Sport Ms. 033. It'll be fun.

[Dave de Sylvia]

What I don't get is why it's the most popular sport in the world.

Because it's the most played sport in the world.

It's the most played sport in the world because
a) it costs potentially nothing to play
b) it can be played anywhere, so is just as suited to tight urban settings as vast rural settings
c) it's easy to learn the basics, and
d) it's fantastic.

[leiferikson]

Wow.

Meh. I know you're probably not gonna bother arguing properly with a "n00b" like me but just like how sarcasm is the lowest form of wit its also the lowest form of argument technique. Its only sports though, so I dont really care.

An argument about sports between America and UK is about as pointless as Moby. If you did a favourite sports poll in both countries soccer would no doubt be top in the UK, but in the US it'd probably be somewhere in between "Burger lifting" and "Kiddie rape"

[The NPC]

Or, I might not be arguing with you at all and possibly just having a good time at your expense while I do my office work.

Trust me, I don't care about soccer, basketball, or you.

[leiferikson]

Trust me, I don't care about soccer, basketball, or you.

Darn, and here I was hoping you'd be my friend

Edit: Yes I am aware about my comment on sarcasm just a couple of minutes ago.

Were you joking about doing office work? I can never tell when you're joking

[The NPC]

As much as it is popular, I can imagine how fun it is to play football alone. Wowz
