Well today at lunch this girl who sits with us started talking about how last year this girl named "alex" had a huge thing for me... this gave me courage! i said ah ha!!! i'm going to tell her everything... well i dident see her for the rest of the day... i get home and call her... i tell her everything... she proceeds to give me the usual speil the oppisite sex always gives.. "your the coolist guy i know... we need to chill more often... lets not let this get weird... but i umm well im trying to hook up with this other guy... i dident hear the rest over the noise my hart made when it cracked in half. ouch, my heart hurts, again.

I still love you!!!

By alex on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 02:58 am:

Go listen to sad Cure songs and weep in the cornor with a lava lamp and incense.(is this not the typical procedure for such things?)
Seriously though, those guys they "are trying to hook up with" they dont last, surely you'll be a shoe-in after their untimely breakup. She'll be sad, and you being the coolest guy she knows, she'll come to you and cry on your shoulder, which will ultimately end the two of you locked in a passionate kiss, or so all the movies I've seen with Jennifer Love Hewitt wind up.

you see alex is meg ryan... honestly i think they are the same person... i cant resist her... she is corkey and happy like me and she never has bad days... even thom york gets his dream girl... and im not even ugly... i dont get it at all........

By TobyZ on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 04:24 am:

If it's 1974, then yeah alex, that is the typical procedure.

Zach, Zach, Zach. . . if you ever want to seriously go out with this girl, DO NOT BE THE GUY WHO'S SHOULDER SHE CRIES ON. That is the kiss of death. The moment that happens you go from being a 'maybe' to being 'her new girlfriend'. Once you slip into that zone, you can never crawl out of it.

And you shouldn't use consoling a girl as a trick to get into her pants. Surely you're a better man than that.

By ZACH+--------- on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 08:01 pm:

I dont want into her pants!!!!!! You all have the wrong idea... i think i respect her or something!!

By nittaya on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 11:08 pm:

fie on you, zach! thom yorke is beautiful! (who is his dream girl? i know he has a girlfriend, but i don't know who she is)

and erm, zach, eventually you'll want to get in there. it's only natural, for both boys AND girls. darn our biological instincts.

By ZACH+----- on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 11:10 pm:

yeah... thom loves his little lady, they have a little one too.. noah... but youve probably heard that by now.

By alex on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 11:30 pm:

First of all, Thom's girlfriend's name is Rachel, I've seen photos of who potentially could've been her, but no one sure, anyway I'm sure she's lovely, and they've been together since college so I'd imagine she's quite "dreamy".

Second, Zach I assure you I'm not Meg Ryan(though I am flattered, kind of...) I'm so not Meg Ryan that I'm male.

By ZACH+--------- on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 - 11:47 pm:

no i meant my Alex... the one i love not you... im sure you a quality guy though!

By alex on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 12:27 am:

oh, well that makes a whole lot more sense then. Okay, I like to think I'm pretty quality.

By Wateva on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 12:45 pm:

I'm sure you are too alex.

By The Occifer on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 03:54 pm:

Oh Zach, Zach, you respect her and don't want to get into her pants? Are you swallowing & spitting out lines your Grandmother has been feeding you? Come off the grass, lad. You say you've "carried a torch" for this fine lass for TWO WHOLE YEARS and you don't desperately want to get into her pants? Wow. Are you sure you arent a repressed homosexual? I mean, that would have to be one of the few explanations of such an amazing state of affairs... Naw, I just dont believe you.

What is in the nature of "respecting" someone that makes you not want to sleep with them? The people I respect most are the people I most want to have sex with. "Oh no, Mr Alex's Daddy, I respect yer daughter...I would NEVER shag her! In fact, even when we get hitched we'll never shag, I PROMISE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART..." I just dont get it, Zachary, not at all, matey!!!1

By Cazza on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 04:17 pm:

I feel sorry for you Zach. My heart is broken too so I know how it feels.

Gah. I really hate hate hate love right now.

*hugs*
//Caz.
ps, there's so many new people here nowdays. Where are all the old blurchatters?

By ZACH+------ on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 04:37 pm:

By saying "not wanting to get into her pants" I mean to say that sex is not the main reason for swooning over her...

By gfi on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 07:55 pm:

Yeah Caz, I've been asking myself the same thing lately... Nothing against new ppl, but where r the old blurchatters?????

By nat on Thursday, April 5, 2001 - 10:58 pm:

i'm here!
(but i've never been an active chatter)

By jugs on Friday, April 6, 2001 - 06:58 am:

Am I an old blur chatter? I think I must have first chatted here about a year and a half ago. That is quite a long time to keep coming back to the same place, internet wise. I remember the first time I chatted on the net way back in 1994 at an amiga magazine chatroom/discussion board, I can't remember ever chatting about amigas though, mainly lesbian cows. It was so slow, like chatting using coping would be. Ah, those were the days, the internet as uncharted territory, where the computer could only display gif pictures, not jpgs and everything was free of banner ads.

Quintal here.

By Si on Friday, April 6, 2001 - 10:25 pm:

It's really weird when new chatters start to become old chatters and wonder what happened to other old chatters when they're still new chatters really.

By TobyZ on Saturday, April 7, 2001 - 10:34 am:

On that note, what did ever happen to the great Eddy?

By The Occifer on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 06:54 am:

You can email him and ask him yourself, Toby zed. eddylewis@hotmail.com A top lad.

By TobyZ on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 12:53 pm:

I thought you didn't like people talking to your love interest?

By Butter~Twirré on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 02:05 pm:

This won't mean anything to those of you who don't live in Australia, but my heart aches for poor Rose Hancock~Porteous just now! Ok, so "poor" isn't quite the right adjective, but I am simply amazed that she may go on trial for "wilful murder" based on the fact that the Australian public hate her guts.

Tonight on the news, a journalist solemnly proclaimed that "evidence" was heard in court today that Rose used to be into Voodoo.
This makes her a murderer, apparently.

Apologies for sounding like an outraged citizen writing to a newspaper. I think I'm biased in Rose's favour, since she was so nice to me the two times I bumped into her at the utterly vile doctor's surgery we both frequent.

"You know," she sighed, "It's only when we have to come to this horrible place that we realise it ~ we're REALLY in hell."
Struck a chord, oh yes Sirree it did.

All right, back to Zach's heart ache...

By ZACH+--------- on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 08:27 pm:

She said hi to me today... i smiled and said "hi, alex" that was it...

By R~S~P on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 09:48 pm:

Who says it'll mean nothing to non~Australians? Some of us are very widely read, you know. As far as I can see, there are three main questions in this case:

1) Can any 82 year~old man with heart disease and a lung disorder ever be said to have died 'suddenly and unexpectedly'?

2) How come the maid has come forward with all this new evidence so long after it happened?

3) If not for the millions of dollars involved, would anyone actually care?

The answer to one and three is a resounding 'no', while number two.. It just seems a bit suspect to me, that's all.

Another question: Does any non~Australian other than myself have any idea whatsoever what we're talking about?

By alex on Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 01:06 am:

No, please explain.

By Butter~Twirré on Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 05:59 am:

I'm thoroughly impressed with you there, R~S~P, and you make some excellent points. I mean, fair enough, so Rose is the Australian answer to Anna Nicole Smith, but it still doesn't make her a murderer. She made the same point to me about money, too (the very fact that she was willing to talk openly about it with a stranger suggested she had nothing to hide). "There's MORE then enough for both of us," she fumed (with reference to Lang's daughter, the one who calls her "the Filipino prostitute"). "The only people getting rich out of this are the lawyers!"
Happy Easter, folks.

By R~S~P on Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 10:35 am:

With this case and the Anna Nicole Smith one, I reckon looking down on the women for 'gold~digging' is ridiculous. I mean, both the guys in question knew what was going on, but if they were going to die, why shouldn't they be married to an attractive young woman for their last few years? As they say, you can't take it with you. Fair play to them for getting something out of their money while they still could, I say.

By The Occifer on Monday, April 16, 2001 - 02:07 pm:

Aha! I just read your comment from April 11 12:53pm up the page a bit, TOBYZED. Hahaha. Nice one.
