what ever happened to --love--? that bubbly character that frequented this forum? and taylor? she never seems to be around anymore... and johnny..someone... and rocknroll_girl... where have all the past hip-users gone? is hipforums something of a phase that we go through and eventually stop doing? will we all eventually be replaced by new hip-users that will discuss our whereabouts? hmm... sorry, just a random thought.
we never die!!! hehehe..... i come and go. phases. im going to be here until im old and even krazier than i am now.
Yeah, twas wonderen bout him. He was a happy fucker, weren't he? On the other side of the spectrum, i was wondren what ever happened to Banned_From_Free_Republic. Don't miss him, jus wondrin if he's lurkin on some other forums, jus waitin to piss some liberals off.
I think I read that he wasn't coming online anymore because he wanted to get better at his religion or something. There was a reason, that may be it, it may not be...but I think that's it.
I was wondering about Taylor, but saw that she posted in a couple forums not too long ago, so we might see her sometime soon. I haven't seen her on Messenger either. --love-- seemed to have disappeared at the beginning of the year. I don't think he's seen the new format yet. I'm not sure what happened to Eliza (rocknroll girl). She was around before I left for my trip, but I haven't seen her since.
it's a funny thing, i've been comming to this site on and off for 3 years now (it's an interesting end of the sociologic stick) and this is my newest name. last summer (as ketchup_and_zeppelin) i posted around 400 comments, and got bored, this place gets boring. so i'd say people come and go as they please.
i talked to --love-- not that longa ago...he said that he wasn't going to come back on...he started saying that he never really knew what he was talking about and that i should never take anything that he said seriously because he was just an asshole.....you know all that kind of shit.....and that was the last time that i talked to him...eliza was on here a while back but i don't remember seeing her for a while....as for taylor i have not seen anything from her....then again i am not on as much anymore as i used to be...
eliza si on holliday somewhere. don't know bout the others. but i also like new guys here. too bad they aren't regulars. they just put a post or two and dissapear
What? Love was my favorite person on here! He was wise beyond his years, it makes me horribly sad to think that he said that:'(
you know what, i think it is too. i often wonder whether i am damaging my ability to talk normally to people in social situations by coming to this site so frequently. does talking to people i dont know about issues i normally dont address, inhibit or encourage my social abilities? this is what i wonder.
And I'm here too. This is the first time I've been on the computer in about 2-3 weeks... a lot of shit has been going down. I've gone to Poland (holocaust seminar - worst week of my life) and now I'm on a kibbutz in the middle of the Negev Desert, dealing with temperatures of 35-40 degrees Celsius every day... I'm about to die. Nice to know that you guys thought of me. Oh and I had my first ever girl-sex dream the other night. woohoo. And all the straight girls that I'm living with are totally in love with Queer As Folk. It's hilarious.
Fucking hell I hate this computer. (oh yeah, I'm here too by the way). I just had a whole reply typed out which was all perky and "yay I'm here woohoo" like and then the computer deleted it. bastard. So yeah... its been a while since I've been able to get to a computer. I've been to poland (holocaust seminar - worst week of my life) and now I'm on a kibbutz in the middle of the Negev Desert, dealing with temperatures of 35-40 degrees celsius every damn day. I think I'm going to die. Nice to know you guys remember me. All the girls I live with are totally in love with Queer As Folk. its hilarious. -Tamsyn
Hi Everybody Thanks for remembering me Defense Mechanism. It makes me feel good. I saw --love-- on AIM a few days ago. I'll say hi the next time he is on. Hey Tamsyn, I haven't seen you in a while. I hope you are alright. I haven’t heard the results of you telling your parents you are gay(bi?) with the letter. I still have that letter saved on my computer. Write back. People come and go on this forum, just like I did. Why? Because there is only so much you can learn here. This forum is an opportunity for newcomers to read about our experiences because they have not had any yet. After they get a feel for what is up with the world they go out on their own. They start telling people they are gay and then they are out on their own. They keep coming back to this forum but eventually realize many of the people who are here have few experiences of their own. They see misinformation being spread about and then remember way back when to when they were new. They realize they must have been getting misinformation too, but then they realize that that is part of the process of learning here. Everyone tries to hang around to point people in the right direction, but there are only so many of the experienced folks. The blind are leading the blind, but that is the way it has always been. Luckily, it still works.
Gibson is in Europe right now. He's right into his whole Buddhism trip and this groovy chick name Annie. He's getting a life. Good for him, even though he's definitely not the same person he used to be. Religion and seclusion does that to a person.
jonny6 i think to a certain extent you're very right. in the gay forum, at leased. yeah, we're the blind leading the blind, its true, so terribly, terribly true. we get on relatively well, but we dont talk about anything thats real... usually. unless anyone can prove me wrong, to the most part most of us are discussing other peoples issues. but in the other forums i think its less so. like Philosophy and Religion forum i think has a lot of interesting conversation - a space to share your thoughts on things you wouldnt normally talk about on a day-to-day basis.
I've been around here for about three years and since the new format, I just haven't settled in again and I realised that maybe it's better for me to get my ass of the computer chair and do something else! Things here seem to go round in circles, the same kind of posts and disputes and problems, sometimes it feels too de ja vu - ish for me.
smurf, you and i are on the same boat...i first started posting on the forums in 2002 as ketchup_and_zeppelin...i was really into the site last summer, then i lost interest. but this new format, it's not jiving with me
