Screw the New Year up it's dirty baby ass.

You're into that? Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I'm not sure if that's better or worse than screwing the old year up its encrusted geriatric ass...

The most depressing thing is that, as of today, I can now say "I'm going to be 26 next year", without lying.
What the fuck have I done with my life?

What the fuck have you done with your life? What the fuck have I done with my life? I'll be 25 this April, and I've got zippo to show for my efforts.
You, at least, have a beard and stunning figure.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
He no longer has the beard, and he lost his stunning figure at age four. Solacement!

I got the stunning figure back though, due to my unique diet of "being too lazy to go to the supermarket to buy food." Result.
I did shave the "beard" though.

So sell them and buy a pipe, for today is the birthday of Professor John Reunold Rapist Tolkien, pronounced, um, jurt. If I had a pipe I'd smoke it, like the professor. Then cough and get birds in my face. So there.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Umm... John Ronald Reuel Tolkien actually.
But I pity any child that's been named Rapist.

No living man may correct me. You'd better have long bright hair under that helmet, or a Westernesse blade to pierce my sinews, my friend. Otherwise you too are in for the old "You/Horse" treatment.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
I'm afraid I do not own a horse. I have riden on one before when I visited the great state of Wisconsin in 1992. The horse's name was Bull Roney.
I do have a cat, though.

Eh, wait till your older and look back, thinking of all the things you had wanted to accomplish, haven't been able to, and seeing others that seem to fall in to the things you've been striving for.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Don't dispirit Liam too much. He might grow a beard again.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Or go Goth. And if he were to go Goth, I would demand pictures.
Posted by MaGiC (Member # 59) on :
Liam, make youself a 'Things to do before I'm 30'list. I made mine at 29 and actually managed to acomplish all of this apart from the sky diving/ parachute jump, which I am doing in the spring with a bit of luck. It was good fun. Feel much more grown up after getting all 20's silliness out of my system in one big burst.

Goddamn third decade.

GOds! I going to be 31 in July! In-sane. That's ten years longer than any of the pollsters back in highschool had me down for...
I've never been arrested. (questioned a couple of times though) I've never broken a bone or had a cavity. I've never had anyone say the Big Three Words to me (insert joke here). I've never owned a cat or ski'd or slept with a married woman (that I know of), or climed a mountain or flown a plane.
Buuuut... I have held a live shark in the water and skydived (tandem jump though) and ridden in a stolen car and had guns pulled on me (twice) and I was once chased around the kitchen of a chinese resturant by a jamacian bus-boy with a meat cleaver wanting to do me extreme harm. So. I'm still here, still laughing and it's a whole new year -so everyone stop being so mopey!

Holy shit! Thankfully not, but not the three I meant.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Jason ... I love you!
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
You really have to stop saying that.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
I'm not saying it ... I'm typing it! :0

"YES! OH YES!"
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
No to all of those and it's not "He's dead, Jim" or "You've got AIDS" or "Is it in?" or anything that bad. We could just have a contest guessing my shortcomings in three words, but I'd rather just tell you:
The "big three" are -of course- "I Love You" although I meant from a woman, not Snay being silly. I have got "You're so sweet" several times and even "you're special to me" once but not the "L" word. I suppose it's for the best they dont use that word if it's not really meant.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
As pointed out on Frasier, what Snay was actually saying was "I love ya", which is distinctly different from "I love you". DO NOT CONFUSE THEM!
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Good. I've been told "I love you" in that context many times by relatives and such but it's really not the same emotion is it? There should be a diffrent name used for familial affection IMHO.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Ahh, the definition of love. I tried to write a book about that once. Got through about two and a half chapters before I had to have a good cry.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Edit for overindulgence of personal Evil bandwidth:
The most insideous thing about Love is that you'll find yourself singing along to the WORST songs on the radio. Case in point: It's 3AM, a couple was in my store a moment ago and the guy was actually singing the terrible Aerosmith song "Angel" to his girlfreind as they made copies. The sweetness was so sickening that I may now be a diabetic just from watching his idiocy. I prayed she was going to dump him right here in the store so I could say "Ha Ha" like that bully from the Simpsons.
Huh. This post turned out even more evil than what I edited out. Go figure.

Well, not really. I mean, there's the "fondness arising out of kinship" thing, and there's the "chemical imbalance in the brain that fucks up our reasoning" thing. It's not like people have a hard time fathoming the context of either.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I tried to define love as being willing to place someone else's happiness and well-being above your own. That definition works, I think. Unfortunately, I also tried to analyze romance, and pretty well sucked all the magic out of it. Reduced it to a set of if/thens. If I define it, what fun is it!?

You still owe me a copy of that book.
