Sweet. Just trying to plan my day tomorrow.

Just talked with my BFF grades 3-7. She has 2 kids and lives in an old Victorian in the middle of Ohio.

Feeling wistful.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Not sure why. She was a total hellcat in middle school.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure why I shared that with the internet. My apologies.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, you owe us an apology for that one lady

My 10th high school reunion is on Saturday. I'm reluctantly going, because of threats against my life from my one friend who does want to go. I doubt it will make me feel wistful, but I'd like to see just how far some of the jocky prep fuckers have fallen. In fact I'm going to be really pissed if only one or two of them has become a mess.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

The messy people never (or rarely) show up to the reunion. Don't get yer hopes up.

I like winter, because I hate sweating.

x1000 for the pill change/acne thing. Man. I switched from low dose pills to a Nuva ring and from there to an IUD and good grief. My face is a mess. I've been using Aveno anti-acne face wash/toner/lotion and that seems to have gotten things a little under control but I'm not going to win any complexion awards.

OK DAN MARTIN EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO ME. I thought "2x" was like saying "me too" and "4x" was like saying "me four," as in two other people have already agreed with the original poster. But now you guys are using #x or x# to mean an amplification of the original point, like you agree with it 1000 or 2000 times more than the original poster? Or is it like "yes, yes, a thousand times yes"?

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

It's whatever you want it to be.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Like a hooker.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, that too.

It's the internet, man! Grammar takes a holiday and the rules of usage are meaningless!

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES, YES!

chicago, I wish you were at my work with me now so we could drink some wine, listen to my wonderful i-tunes, and you could show me different poses to use at a photo shoot. MAYBE I COULD BE AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!? Also, I would give you some chocolate and cookies. Hmmm???

I can't believe I have another hour left here today. It's so excrutiatingly quiet.

Also, Amanda, I do find that interesting. I often wonder if anyone ever hears from people from their past or keeps in touch with them, or if I'm the only one completely in the dark.

Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

It's literally "Two Times". Like if I said "The Detroit Red Wings are the greatest hockey club ever" and you agreed, you could say "Two times, man, two times." However, it's adaptable so if there's something you REALLY TOTALLY 110% agreed with, you could say "X000 times" which would be (more or less) the equivalent of "yes, yes, a thousand times yes".

Some dudes from the suburbs who I went to college with introduced the phrase to me. If I had to guess they stole it from some shitty hip-hop song.

i did not go to my 10 year reunion nor did i go to my 15 year reunion. i haven't spoken to anyone i went to high school with in two years when my best friend jon was in chicago two springs ago for work. we went to o'toole's in streeterville and got shit house wasted then taunted cbs2 sports anchor and former pittsburgh steeler mark malone who was drinking while probably getting ready for the 10 o'clock news.

i hadn't seen jon in 5 years at that point but we were together for 15 minutes and it was like we hadn't seen each other for 5 days.

err, i haven't spoken to anyone i went to high school with in two years except for when my best friend jon was in chicago two springs ago for work

When would he kill you softly with his song?

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh shit! I forgot about that. Maybe that's where they got it from, though I still would guess it was in a Kool Keith rhyme or something.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I was about to say: THE FUGEES?!?

But, did Wyclef mean "I agree" when he sang that, or was it just some hype man type shit?

All I do know is that it's impossible to listen to the Roberta Flack original without filling in the "1x, 2x" part, either in your head or out loud.

see y'all on saturday. i am contemplating getting dressed up a wee bit, but it might just be embarrassing. we'll see.

I think the drummer who played with the Fugees when they did that tune on the MTV Music Awards was a big influence on me. Don't know who he was, only heard him on that one tune but he was bad as hell.

THIS IS JESSE AND I WILL BE HERE FOR THE FUCKING HOLIDAY.

Hey Kevin, do you want to hang out with me and Sayjal (the elf)? She's fun and sometimes I am too, so you're chances of having fun would be pretty good. We are hanging out on Sunday, probably dividing our time between food, booze and going to movies. I don't know what is happening on the 25th. I hope something, or I'll be saaaaaad. Wow. I am going to be sad.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 23:43 (seventeen years ago) link

There was some beer left over in the fridge. I took one. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten since lunch, but I am a little tipsy.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 00:38 (seventeen years ago) link

(Still at work.)

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 00:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi, people. It's so late. I need to sleep.

I will be the first to work tomorrow, I know, because I can actually handle my liquor. My coworkers went out and got fucking TRASHED tonight. But not me. Oh no. I don't get trashed. No sir.

Buona Terra prix fixe = STILL A GREAT GOD DAMN DEAL

danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 05:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I learned things I did not know tonight, and things that no one would tell me if we weren't all really fucking pissed. (Except for me, obviously. I do not not get drunk.) Like that not only does my big over-boss love me, but my more immediate boss considers me the most important member of her team, and that her nightmare right now is that I will be moved to another department and given a huge raise. She's fighting to keep me in the SAME department and to give me a huge raise and a management position.

I think I would be an excellent manager. I can pretend to know what he's talking about like nobody's business. Sometimes people even believe me.

Learn to manage my Gap parka and then put that on your resume.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Oops. Sorry, that sounded bitchier than I meant it to.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:07 (seventeen years ago) link

(I know where the parka is. It's where you left it.)

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

wtf are you talking about?

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:13 (seventeen years ago) link

OH HOLY SHIT. YOU'RE RIGHT.

There's a coat of yours that's hanging in Julia's closet. It's not lost! I can bring it over tomorrow if you have time. Even if you don't, I can leave it outside the door. It's very warm.

Learn to manage my Gap parka and then put that on your resume.

Hey, eat me. I'm not trying to screw you, Jesse. I would love nothing more than to gie you back everything that belongs to you. I'm just poorly organized, is all. Did you think I meant to keep it? I don't even wear it. I wore it once, and left it in Julia's closet, and then forgot it existed. Which does not make me Mr. Responsibility, but I'm not trying to dick you out of a coat, either.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm talking about where my Gap coat is. I now know. Hint: It's where my Adidas shorts were.

this is now an xpost

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't get worked up. I know how that neither of us could us could be considered Mr. Responsiblity.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:26 (seventeen years ago) link

And I want to give you back your stuff too, not because I want to be done with you (I miss going out with you, actually) but because I feel bad that you left behind so much stuff at my house. The stack grows and grows.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Hint: It's where my Adidas shorts were.

Wherever your coat was, it was never on my ass.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Do I still have your shorts? If I do, I can give them back plus some. I don't think I have them.

But I take your point.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I am pretty sure I have not made a point in quite a while.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry, Jesse. For a lot of things. A lot of things that I've been honestly confused about. I knew you were pissed at me for some reason, but I could only guess why. I made your cat fat, and I wasn't the best at cleaning what quickly became a kind of stifling mess, and I'm just kind of an asshole in general. BUT YOU NEVER TOLD ME WHAT WAS MAKING YOU MAD. So I still don't know.

If it was the "asshole in general" part, I can't help you. Otherwise, I'd like to know what you don't like about me. In real life, I mean. I already know what you don't like about my internet persona. Not helpful in a real life scenario, though. Email me. Talk to me. I'm not retarded, I'm just not always good at making people as happy as they could be.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, STFU. Any time I have been pissed at you in a very particular way, I would not express it here. I am certainly not pissed about the substantial feline weight gain.

If I didn't have to work in the morning I would buy you a drink tonight.

Merry Christmas and I will see you soon.

Now calm yourself.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Believe it or not, I worry about what you think of me.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Get on Gmail and we might chat, assbutt.

Until then, Merry Xmas?

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 22 December 2006 06:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I am certainly not pissed about the substantial feline weight gain.

haha I'm glad. Because it was SUBSTANTIAL. I couldn't have done that on purpose if I'd tried.
