What year do you most associate with? graduation, birth, something else?
 
in screen names when people use numbers, I see people use their graduation year (college or high school) as that number.

I'm inclined to my birth year of 85. It's a good number, some pretty awesome albums came out that year.

I can see why my Dad uses his high school graduation- he graduated in 69.

I associate with a period of time, rather than one year, and this is just based on music from that time.
1985 - Ghosts of an Ideal Wife (Laughing Clowns), Electrical Storm (Ed Kuepper), Halber Mensch (Einstuerzende Neubauten)
1987 - Bird-Dog (The Verlaines)
1988 - Everybody's Got To (Ed Kuepper), Daydream Nation (SY), Child (Haunted Henschel
1989 - Haus der Luege (Einstuerzende Neubauten)

I wanted to use floatingslowly69, but I was afraid people would take that for the year of my birth.

he's not using it because of graduation, and when he tells you that he and yr mother were "just wrestling", they weren't.

not with a number, but with a period... i'd say the past year, lots of changes happened and it changed in a good way.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 09.12.2008 11:05 AM

either 89' or 07'.

Well yeah. . .

but I'm talking about when asked to use a number for something. . . if it is related to a year, what year do you go for?

If I was an athlete I'd want number 85.
my aim screename ends with 85.

!@#$%! 09.12.2008 11:27 AM

i guarantee you, you are where you are

(edit: that was for rhys)

julian: to use a number for something? i like 13. and black cats.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 09.12.2008 11:28 AM

oh fuck dude, I am!

But if the entity you are referring to is not in fact me, and my being goes by something else, then "I" in fact is not where my being is.
