Mostly OTM nick. Can't be bothered to cut and paste the lyrics of "Love Like Anthrax".

I'm sorry for this bitter, pointless thread, but not as sorry as I am for loving you!

I might still be a little drunk.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 June 2005 11:28 (twenty years ago)

Some fools dream of happiness, blissfullness and togetherness. Some fools fool themslves I guess, but they're not fooling me. I know it isn't true, know it isn't true, love is just a lie made to make you blue. Love hurts.

If you've got love in your sites
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch'n'see?
Ooh babe
Ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild'n'willin or is it just for show?
Ooh C'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need


When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

Oh yeah!

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!


(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does
Bloody Hell

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 30 June 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

Woke up this morning, desperation a.m.
What I've been saying won't say them again
My head's not empty, it's full with my brain
The thoughts I'm thinking like piss down a drain
And I feel like a beetle on its back
And there's no way for me to get up
Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch
Ought to control what I do to my mind
Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind
Only yesterday I said to myself
The things I'm doing are not good for my health
And I feel like a beetle on its back
And there's no way for me to get up
Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch

"Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about,
cos most groups make most of their songs about falling in love
or how happy they are to be in love,
you occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time -
it's because these groups think there's something very special about it
either that or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has,
you know to burst into song you have to be inspired
and nothing inspires quite like love.

These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone
by singing about love because apparently everyone has or can love
or so they would have you believe anyway
but these groups seem to go along with what, the belief
that love is deep in everyone's personality.
I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love,
we just don't think that what goes on between two people
should be shrouded with mystery."

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch
Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch

She asked me last night "what is gin made from?" and I looked at the bottle and it said "THE FINEST BOTANICALS" which could be anything from grass clippings to mouse tails for all I know.

BUT . . .

she met him 1980 in a school disco
he kissed her for the first time on the last bus home
he said "you be DEBBIE HARRY, i'll be JOEY RAMONE"

she saw shooting stars flash by
the moon exploded in the sky
her heart flipped when they kissed
star dust on her lips
SPECIAL VAT in the dark
getting pissed in the park
she's in love, she's in love

and when they walked down town all the people would stare
they used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair
she was 17 and she didn't care
cos baby's gonna take her everywhere

cos he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
she was DEBBIE HARRY
he was JOEY RAMONE

yeah he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
cos she was DEBBIE HARRY
he was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE

when she met him she was standing in a blue white light
he said "d'ya like the SEX PISTOLS, have you got a light?"
and all the stars were shining on a perfect saturday night
holding him tight

kissing him in the dark
in the back of daddys car
have a drink have a laugh
do you want my autograph
no school summers out
make me wanna twist and shout
down on the beaches looking at the peaches

when they walked down town all the people would stare
they used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair
she was 17 and she didn't care
cos baby's gonna take her everywhere

cos he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
she was DEBBIE HARRY
and he was JOEY RAMONE

yeah he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
cos she was DEBBIE HARRY
and he was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE

cos he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
she was DEBBIE HARRY
and he was JOEY RAMONE

yeah he said they'd live in new york
and the stars would be their own
cos she was DEBBIE HARRY

No, it is completely requited! The problem is POLYAMORY.

There are these other younger more beautiful people that live closer to her, and she is full of love.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Then you must move immediately to be near wherever it is she lives, and you must then smite the other beautiful people.

She lives in California right now, and said she wants to move back and live with me. Then she left my house with this blonde manho with Angelina Jolie lips! Fuck a love.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes, when you really really want something, you have to be proactive about getting it. (Also : women like men who do that sort of thing).

You don't seriously regard a blonde manho with Angelina Jolie catcher-mitt lips as competition, do you??

C J (C J), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

um, if she wants to live with you, i don't think it would be too much to ask to ask her to do away with the manhoes. i'm not sure how to spell the plural of manho.

(More serious answer: People who play mindagmes, intentionally or inadvertantly, need to be thrown off of cliffs. I say this as someone who was King of the Inadvertant Mindgame back in the day. I realize that you love her but understand that, from an outside perspective, it would be best for everyone concerned if you imagined her to be a festering pile of diseased babies until she pulls her thumb out of her ass and gets her personal shit together WRT you.)

Nick - you don't think perhaps there might be the slightest tiny little chance that her saying she wants to come back and live with you MIGHT POSSIBLY be because she's planning to come back to the UK and it'd be reallt handy for her to have somewhere to live lined up until she gets herself sorted out with somwhere/someone else?

Could she be taking advantage of your previous history? Using you? Because that's be cruel.

Um, do you mean to say -- albeit in a polite way -- that she's easy?

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

She thinks she wants to come live with me, supposedly, because she knows that would be the best thing for her to do. She is self-destructive.

Jeanne - yes and no. She likes to make the sex, and lives (at least, when she's here) in a household where lots of sexy people come and go. I don't think that's exactly "easy", but something like it.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

She sounds like she needs a daddy, not a man. You've already got a child to look out for and take care of and support emotionally and financially. She's asking you to save her from herself. I know this sucks, but show the leech the door.

I actually don't mind the polyblahblah as much as other things. When she says I'm the best sex she's ever had I know at least it's well-researched.

I'm more frustrated by her not being, you know, here, now.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 June 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm probably not the best person to ask, since I have that whole Scorpio jealousy thing going on. If I was in your shoes, I would freak the fuck out.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 30 June 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

No, it is completely requited! The problem is POLYAMORY.
I hate the notion of polyamory. Isn't one person enough to handle, with their dramas and habits and whatnot? For Christ's sake! The concept ruined my last relationship and nearly skewered another until that partner broke it off with the girl (who I've known since kindergarten and have never been able to stand and stalked me for years).

oh dear, men of ilx be fallin' in love

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

I'd fall in love with someone completely inappropriate at this point - I'm bored.

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm completely inappropriate, Mandee. Rude, even.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

for several very good reasons, mostly circumstantial

haha, could I be any more vague?

Love is indeed fucked in the head, but what else we got? I, too, wonder if I haven't (am not?) fallen for someone I shouldn't have...

Making a mix tape for a girl is the most dumbass retarded move a hu(man) can make...

Jimmy Mod Is Sick of Being The Best At Everything (ModJ), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

No, the most dumbass move a (hu)man could ever make would be yelling at Andrea Dworkin to "show us your titties!"

Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Girls *love* mistapes, though! (I do, anyway)

Uh, miXtapes.

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 30 June 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Then I shall make you a mixtape. I give good tape.

Jimmy Mod Is Sick of Being The Best At Everything (ModJ), Thursday, 30 June 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

mistakes, mistapes, misfits..

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 30 June 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

I made a crush tape two weeks ago, but I don't have anyone to give it to! And if I give it to some with green eyes, I'm going to replace the Piano Magic song with Throwing Muses - "Green".

Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 30 June 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

Hell if you put that song on it, you can give it to me!

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 July 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

But you already have that song! *giggles*

Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Friday, 1 July 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Then again, you've probably got half of what's on it, anyway. I just wanted to see if it was possible to record one from everything I owned because I've got waaay too much moody music. Some selections are weird and others are cheeky, admittedly. For the most part, though, it's not very out there, though -- well, not by my standards anyway.

Side A:
1. Peter Murphy - "The Sweetest Drop"
2. The Gun Club - "She's Like Heroin to Me"
3. The Au Pairs - "Sex Without Stress"
4. The New Age Steppers - "Love Forever"
5. Lizzy Mercier Descloux - "Tumour"
6. Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates - "In the Midnight Hour"
7. The KLF - "What Time is Love? (Edit)"
8. Disco Inferno - "I'm Still in Love"
9. Kitchens of Distinction - "Drive That Fast"
10. Breathless - "Count on Angels"

Side B
11. The Comsat Angels - "After the Rain (Remix)"
12. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - "Do You Love Me? (Single Mix)"
13. The Pop Group - "She is Beyond Good and Evil"
14. The Mighty Lemon Drops - "Like an Angel"
15. Piano Magic - "Amongst the Books, an Angel" Throwing Muses - "Green"
16. Catherine Wheel - "The Nude"
17. Toulouse - "Rhetoric of Romance"
18. The Gap Band - "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"
19. Scritti Politti - "Sex"
20. Mission of Burma - "All World Cowboy Romance"
21. Slowdive - "Country Rain"

I think I should try to make one with a theme of having songs that do exactly what I wouldn't for someone.

Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Friday, 1 July 2005 10:29 (twenty years ago)

Nick, what are you doing? How can you stand it? I think I may have resorted to extreme violence/ upped and left if someone I was living with was openly screwing other people. Be short-term nasty to be long-term kind to yourself. You're worth more.

Anna (Anna), Friday, 1 July 2005 10:33 (twenty years ago)

anna OTM

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 1 July 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

I think (not knowing this girl, but knowing a lot like her) that she wants to have the stability and comfort of living with someone but is not ready to face the responsibility or is afraid of the concept of being solely with one person. Basically, she's immature and wants to have her cake and eat it too, and like Anna said you deserve better than this.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 1 July 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

Sounds about right to me. Sorry nza, but she sounds like bad news for you.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

Poly relationships are valid, before anyone jumps on the idea as something selfish/repugnant. I have several friends who somehow (and personally, I dont know how) make it work. That said, if you can't bear the idea, it will be upsetting. So I guess you just dont get involved in it if you know thats the deal :/ Nicka, you seem like such a fun and generous-hearted person. Dont waste that on this! Some gal out there totally deserves your coolness.

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:05 (twenty years ago)

Sorry if it sounded rude Nick, but, despite having never met you, it makes me rather angry on your behalf.

(It's so hard to be nice to people on the internet without sounding like a fruitloop.)

Anna (Anna), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

I think (not knowing this girl, but knowing a lot like her) that she wants to have the stability and comfort of living with someone but is not ready to face the responsibility or is afraid of the concept of being solely with one person.

This is so friggin OTM holy goat cheese Batman.

Okay guys last night I remembered she still lives in California and I also remembered that I had finally gotten over her (right before she showed up out of nowhere) so now I am only really frustrated because she got to go to Outer Banks, North Carolina with her dad who is a wicked awesome photographer with a big bag of those special mushrooms and I am jealous of that because I personally am not camping on a psychedelic beach being photographed RIGHT NOW.

Anna, you are going to have to try much harder before I find your behavior "rude".

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

Really the only reason I am bothered by the notion of loving a polyamorous person is that I myself actually am a polyamorous person, only extremely, ridiculously unsuccessful at it.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Even if you're totally cool with it, surely at times it'll be like "wanna watch TV and drink wine and smooch?" "nah, sorry dude, I'm fucking Jeremy tonight, maybe next week yeah?"

Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

Are there any good songs called "The Story Of My Life", or derivations thereof perchance?

Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

FWIW, it is absolutely NOTHING like what Barry Lasagne postulates there.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

No, based on what my friends do no its not like that at all!

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

They have proper shared home and time arrangements and shit.

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

So how is it, Nick? Seriously? She can't be with all partners all the time! Do you have a rota system? Tickets like at the deli counter in supermarkets?

Barms, the Velvet Undergorund have a song called "That's the Story of my Life".

Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

I try to avoid love at all costs, the aftermath of splitting up with someone I care about doesn’t agree with me. especially the ache in the chest bit.

I disagree with the thread title, except when the person you love has to be several hundred miles away for the next year and possibly more : (

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 1 July 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

I'm heavily in love, with my best friend. She knows. We are implementing a work-around.

Mark, thank you for the Velvet Undergorund Ivanisevic suggestion.

My best gal pal is moving to NYC and I thank God I'm not in love with her. Wish i could say the same for my best guy.

Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Friday, 1 July 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

I really regret this thread title because, really, love is the fucking best. I was bitter and hungover.

i dont even have a CRUSH, and its annoying

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 1 July 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Mandee. I like you. You are far away.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

OMG guys I just talked to her on the phone! She is up to her knees in the Atlantic Ocean right now. As long as I remember that any notions we've had of our being SUPPOSED TO BE TOGETHER were probably greatly exaggerated, the flipping out will cease.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

Is it just me or does she call you from odd places all the time bro?

Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

YES.

When I saw you Saturday, I don't know if you caught any of this, but I tried to initiate the "X, this is Y, Y, this is X" motions to introduce you two, but she had already disappeared into lesbian Anna's house.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

i hope she calls you from the MOON someday

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I was so confused by the above post.

oh, am I ever feeling that

Matt (Matt), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

haha Anna, I specified "lesbian Anna" so you wouldn't be confused. I fear it backfired!

Mandee, it is not unlikely. She has a license to drive AIRPLANES THROUGH THE SKY.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

I wish I knew how girls like this get away with treating men badly, behaving inconsiderately, trampling over people's feelings, being self-centred and all that jazz, and yet still have men adore them.

It makes all the usual stuff about being loving and loyal and trustworthy etc seem so boring, somehow.

C J (C J), Friday, 1 July 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

This person is lots of things, but she's absolutely not self-centered. If anything, she needs to think about herself and what she wants out of her life way more.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

And she doesn't treat me badly, I mean, holy crap, she calls me from the ocean and makes me pies.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

But she breaks your heart, too :(

C J (C J), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

haha TOUCHE

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Don't we break our own hearts, CJ?

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

No, I don't think we do. I think we allow others to do that to us (which isn't quite the same thing).

C J (C J), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

Don't we break our own hearts, CJ?

OTM. "Nobody's fault but my own."

giboyeux (skowly), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Is this anything like a reach-around?

giboyeux (skowly), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

In kinder terms, I mostly agree with Nick.

More to the point, I think humans have (d)evolved to the point where standard mammalian mating traditions and rituals just don't apply as much anymore. People don't HAVE to be as committed anymore, because people are learning to live life and enjoy it enough (and i stress "enough") without being co-dependent on some other significant other.. and the resources for humans to live independently, alone, and without much misery for a majority of their lifespans are plentiful... whereas other animals don't know any better, for lack of a kinder phrase.

Relationships have become more of a social status dynamic than a basic-necessity-of-life dynamic -- very generally speaking. I'm not saying people who seek relationships on the latter terms are being hypocritical... but I do believe that most people's senses of being miserable and lonely when single are almost wholely media and, hence, socially driven. Of course, our bodies by instinct occasionally want to be near a warm human being consistently too, but -- again -- there are ways to almost (and i stress "almost") supplement this without requiring a long-term relationship.

Take this with a grain of salt. I'm only stating this from my own body and mind. Obviously, other bodies and minds are wired very differently. I'm probably one of "the fucked up ones."

I'm not saying humans are happier than other animals in this regard. Instinct, much like ignorance, can be bliss.

donut e- (donut), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

(which isn't quite the same thing).

Fair enough.

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Let me add/twist a phrase:

"but I do believe that most people's senses of being miserable and lonely when single are almost wholely social and, hence, are additionally media driven"

donut e- (donut), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

I think if you are comfortable with someone who is Polyamorous (see Martin Skidmore's posts on this subject) then great, but if you want monogamy and she doesn't then it's never going to be a balanced relationship.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

I think what jocelyn is trying to say is, sure she looks great and you'ld like to douse her in milk but without sliced bananas, toast, a glass of orange juice, and half a grapefruit it's just not going to work.

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

I'd like mine with bacon please.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 1 July 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

Do you think we do break our own hearts then, Michael? Splain, pls.

C J (C J), Friday, 1 July 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

No, I think you're right. It's just that we can only really take responsibility for our own hearts and sometimes we allow other people to break our hearts without their being culpable really. I am not at all convinced this is entirely the case here, but it might be.

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 July 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

But if you are offering someone your heart in all good faith and trust but they proceed to stomp on it, can the ensuing hurt be your responsibility? I think people have a "duty of care" towards each other's feelings. Well, in a perfect world anyway.

C J (C J), Friday, 1 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I agree. But what if your offer up your heart to someone without making a reasonable attempt to determine whether they're likely to reciprocate? The duty of care goes both ways. What a deeply romantic discussion we're having, btw. It's like a plot point for 'Love Doctors, CSI'. ;-)

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 July 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

These progressive notions of love are intriguing, however I'm still stuck at "resulting paste".
