Hey-oh, how the heck are you?

I came back nearly a year ago - there's a lot of solace here. And nerdiness.

Woggie passed away in 2013, Sharon (wizzywozza) passed away last year. Everybody seems to be having kids at the moment (guilty...2). Dadfad still looks after guitar q&a and haggis still pops in to buy a beer every now and then.

So, details, what part of the world/life are you conquering at the moment?
And here's a thread with a few more people coming back https://www.guitarzo...d-users/page-1#

 

 

HOW AM I? HOW ARE YOU!

 

I'm really good! Bullet points: I'm a writer and I live in London now. I work for a women's website called The Pool and I have a novel coming out next year. I live with a dude and I'm a white lady who does yoga. What about you man?? Tell me everything. Or add me on Twitter or something: @czaroline

 

I'm sorry to hear about woggie and Sharon. I didn't have a lot of contact with either, but they were great users. 

 

Ahoy-hoy.

I'm guilty of being sexist and gross towards you. Deepest apologies.

 

Were you? The only one I remember being creepy was vodoogav, who once invited himself to my hometown over MSN. 

 

LULA! Good to know u're doing well:) not much changed here just us man Childs keeping the place alive. I'm happy to hear u have good memories, hopefully they've served u well in life, if ever a moment of despair befell u.

All in all I'm good. Having ruined an umpteenth relationship I'm resigned to a fate of arranged marraiage back home. Sounds silly from a grown man but the whole Confucian filial piety has done a number on us Asian kids n putting family before self has been my way as of late. Professionally speaking I'm still where I was 10 years ago n no respite in sight, so yeah I'm banking on ubi kicking in soon I got to travel a whole lot. That's def been the highlight of past 10 years, also I've morphed from a scrawny torso with twigs to almost an almost fitness buff

Sorry for Hijacking ur thread. So good to hear from u again n I hope u visit more often. We still have a worthwhile convo once in a while here.

 

Wow dude, hi! Well done on plucking up the courage to a) get married and using the phrase "Confucian fillial piety" in a sentence. Best of luck with your new wife and your new tight bod

 

 

Hi Caroline. =) I hope you're doing well, darlin'. It makes me happy to hear that you felt understood here.

No kids for me. Still not gay. The woman I was planning to propose to moved out in November. That, in the end, was so much better for the both of us.

 

I also have no kids and am not gay, don't worry about it. Sorry about the wummin. I'd love to get you on Twitter/Facebook/whatever. I used to love our 6 hour msn chats about Les Miserables. You can get me here!

Y'know how in Peter Pan, Wendy is forced into domestic life and has to grow old, but Peter and the Lost Boys get to go on fighting pirates in Neverland forever? That's how I feel today, logging back into my GTU account for the first time in five years. I'm old and sighing at windows all the time, but everyone else is still as electric and eloquent and silly as they ever were. There's something kind of dazzling about scrolling the boards and finding that Derf and Six and the Major and Herr and, well, SO MANY of them men I spent my teens talking to are still here, still talking, still exchanging ideas. 

 

I started my life as a GTUer in 2004, as a lonely 14 year old living in Ireland. I genuinely feel like this place is the first place I ever felt heard, or listened to, or understood. I feel like I learned how to be myself by posting on this forum. Which is weird, because virtually every woman I talk to has an opposite story about their experience with male-dominated forums: it's generally one of exclusion, or just kinda gross sexism. So, thanks, you guys, for just being my friends. 

 

So hey, hi, hello, how are you? What have I missed? Who is married, who's gay, who's a dad? 

Am winning this thread.

RE: "Winehouse was shit anyway"

I'd like to throw in that Amy Winehouse was never packaged as the worlds greatest recording artist. It's foolish to say she was "overrated", because it's not as if anyone was calling her Neil Young. She was a pop star, akin to Pixie Lott or Jessie J or whatever, and she was a damn sight better then the vast majority of them. Even if you don't listen to pop music, it's ridiculous to suggest that it doesn't have its place in musical society. In her heyday, she released good, solid pop songs that tended to be somewhat more interesting then most of the material in her genre.

Thank fucking god, sick of that overrated shrieking wench. Now someone just needs to kill off the Jersey Shore cast and Rebecca Black and the world will be a much better place

I know we've all been over this before, but you are a horrid human being.

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

No. It's the most covered song, in the world, ever. No.

Also, Muse's version is crap.

The idea of Ian listening to Reggae music makes me laugh more then it reasonably should.

Rob, you've got shitty taste in men. And threesomes.

Nobody looks better as a brunette, unless they are black.

But it has Brandon Lee. Re-enacting his own conception, no less!

High Fidelity.


Cos I like it.

I think it's entirely situation dependent. I've had sex on first dates, but have also waited till the seventh or eighth.

I feel like we're all drunk a lot of the time these days.

Yes, yes I did.
