Positive traits: Lovable, enthusiastic, independent, intelligent, creative, optimistic, strong, assertive, talkative, talented, cheerful, active, eloquent, refined, adventurous, versatile, playful, light-hearted, lively, free-spirit, original, quirky, eccentric, stamina, witty

pretty spot on.

at least i don't look like a horse.

everyone looks like an animal and i look like a fish.
but i act like a sloth.

acousticrock87 07.16.2008 10:58 PM

Blind-in-love? I would think you were very guarded.

And how can someone be witty and gullible?

Cantankerous 07.16.2008 11:01 PM

really i only have my guard up with people i don't know very well or don't feel particularly comfortable around, which i think is normal.
i didn't underline gullible because i don't think it applies to me, but being witty means you have to be on top of things, so you're right about that one.

actually (there's scientific evidence to back this up), smart people tend to be more gullible, because their imagination can actually provide an explanation for improbably things-- whereas dunces, incapable of believing anything they can't see (and that includes book learnin') are less prone to believe the unseen. except for jeezus of course, but that's why the indoctrination must occur often and at an early age.

then again horrorscopes & shit like that are meant to snare the gullible.

acousticrock87 07.16.2008 11:03 PM

I didn't mean how can you be, just the Zodiac thing.

But yeah, that makes sense, !@#$%!. Unless you're making that shit up for your own sadistic enjoyment.

horoscopes do not equal astrology

basically a horoscope that you'd read in, say, glamour magazine or some other tripe like that haphazardly predicts what's going to happen to you, and usually they're way off. astrology, however, has been studied for thousands and thousands of years..etc etc etc i'm not getting into it




oh also
i come from a catholic family but i don't really have any religious views at all
probably cause no one ever made me go to church though unless someone died

yeah we all need to "believe" in something. but check this out:

http://quackwatch.org/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading

The rainbow ruse

The rainbow ruse is a crafted statement which simultaneously awards the subject with a specific personality trait, as well as the opposite of that trait. With such a phrase, a cold reader can "cover all possibilities" and appear to have made an accurate deduction in the mind of the subject, despite the fact that a rainbow ruse statement is vague and contradictory. This technique is used since personality traits are not quantifiable, and also because nearly everybody has experienced both sides of a particular emotion at some time in their lives.
Statements of this type might include:
  • "Most of the time you are positive and cheerful, but there has been a time in the past where you were very upset."
  • "You are a very kind and considerate person, but when somebody does something to break your trust, you feel deep-seated anger."
  • "I would say that you are mostly shy and quiet, but when the mood strikes you, you can easily become the center of attention."
A cold reader can choose from a variety of personality traits, think of its opposite, and then bind the two together in a phrase, vaguely linked by factors such as mood, time, or potential.

god, i ought to be sent back to 7th grade or something

acousticrock87 07.16.2008 11:32 PM

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance in bed.

Hahaha. Nice.

The fortune cookie I got yesterday, though, said, "Great joy will come with the return of a good friend." One of my closest friends just got back from a month in Europe today. Fuckin' weird.

"you will hold the reins of something incredible"- in bed! best fortune i ever got.

That is no fun. I've done that before. I'm pretty sure it's bad luck of some sort.

and it double sucks before I save my fortunes and put them on mixtapes I make.

i ahve to say though, for some time i was living in some shitty environs, and i got this fortune cookie that said that i would move to a nice new house within a year.

i kept that bitch and taped it to my computer monitor. and sure enough i moved in oh six months or so?

but then i was not happy about the town, so i kept the fortune taped to the monitor & blam, in exactly a year (my lease ended), i moved again to a bigger/better house in bigger/better town (what one could call a "small city").

since i'm pretty happy staying put for a while (moving can be a bitch), i took down the fortune, got a new monitor, etc.

now, of course i don't attribute this to the fortune cookie. but it's fun shit no doubt to get psychic messages from random places.

for some, anyway--

 

Cantankerous 07.16.2008 11:35 PM

i haven't eaten a fortune cookie in like 8 yrs

Yeah, I take fortune cookies as impersonal encouragement. Like a self-help book without all the bullshit. All you really need usually is a good "Chin up, you whiny bitch".

Cantankerous 07.16.2008 11:39 PM

remember on the simpsons when woody allen was in the back of the chinese restaurant writing fortunes? haha

schizophrenicroom 07.16.2008 11:40 PM

my brother was convinced for a while that a career as a fortune cookie writer was an awesome idea.

this is a cantankerous chatroom now with the occasional intrusive picture, right?

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 06:43 PM

Everyneurotic - If you want, we could of course discuss the entire Come Organisation roster here - you up for it? :)

by which you mean i never shut up presumably

a fair statement

i need to. i need someone to put me in check.

Everyneurotic 07.17.2008 06:48 PM

i was talking about broken flag earlier today, i guess we could include such gentlemanly label to the discussion.

lately it's been pages and pages of people talking to you, it shows an interest, darling.

but i do have to say, i think you have grown missy; in the old days, that post would have gotten a rise out of you instantly; good for you.

all is typed with love for you as always.

I wouldn't put you in check, matey. I would buy you mucho drinks and bore you to death with gig stories, though. That must sound like hell to you, eh? ;)

The "Hand Of Glory" EP is being re-issued here in the Yoo-Kay. Yes!

I've met Gary Mundy (Mr Ramleh) a few times - a really lovely bloke.

Cantankerous 07.17.2008 06:51 PM

no, that wouldn't bore me

then i wouldn't have to talk and consequently keep embarrassing myself, i could just go "mm hmm"

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 06:54 PM

^^^

Me: (in boring Londoner voice): Did I tell you the time I saw a solo Robert Hampson gig? Eeh, them were the days.
You: Mmm hmm...hang on a moment..it's your round....stump up or shut up, Grandpa Simpson!"
Me: Uh, oh OK *ambles off to bar to buy Tequila shots all round*

a person involved in power electronics who is not an arsehole, as you say over there? miraculous!

i sometimes feel like you about the gigs conversation, like i'm boring people *grampa simpson voice* "i remember back in nineteen-tickiry-two, i got up that morning to make myself a piece of toast and put an onion on my belt, as it was the fashion in those days; that same evening i witnesses PARADISE lost opening for ozzy osbourne, who had three of the fantastic four as his backing band. long story short, paradise lost played..."

----

cantanky: read my post before this one.

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 07:06 PM

Gary is great - a really sound guy. I've met Bennett, and found him pretty creepy (I still love his band, but...). My friend Frank (Anthony di Franco - ex-Skullflower) is heavily involved in Ramleh too, now. Their power electronic sets in London this year were totally kick-ass.

nah i would pay
i don't like people buying me things
i would probably listen intently, wide-eyed, because i wish i were around back in the day, i was an infant when loop put out "a gilded eternity"...february 1990? i had just been born.

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 07:37 PM

"Look at this original copy of Loop's "Collision" I've got.
"That's the THIRD time you've shown me that today, Smelly!"
"Oh alright then, how about the time I saw Sonic Boom do a solo set at etc etc etc"

:)

Seriously, the 80's were a great time for music here.....which remindeth me, if I can get my act together (some bloody chance), I'll sort out a copy of the World Domination Enterprises LP for you - they were a seriously great band here in England - a cross between B Party, dub and rockabilly. Me and demonrail run are huge WDE fans (the first "proper" gig I saw was them in 1990, as a wide-eyed 18-year old git).
