I thought going to Jason's today would be cool for two reasons: for one,
I'd meet Bev, and second I'd finally get a chance to see how some of my
Atari stuff would fare in a social situation.

First, well few played the Atari. Jason himself had a lot of fun
with it, and Chas made an effort to seem interested, but everyone
else was oblivious to it. I think I just invested too much of
myself in bringing it; I should have known it would be little more
than a slight distraction. But I spent a lot of time picking which
games to bring and stuff, and packing up all the stuff so it'd be
easy to carry around. And as a result, I felt personally rejected
when it didn't get a lot of attention. I should have just grabbed
that box of games I had set aside for garage sales and a console
and just threw it all in a bag, then if nobody played it'd be no
big deal.

Second, Bev was cool and everything. But, she was EXACTLY like
all of Jason's other female friends. It was uncanny. And I couldn't
connect her to what I knew of her so far. At least she seems happier
in real life. But we had nothing to talk about. It's like, oh, now
we know what each other looks like. That's about it. She got along
fine with everyone else though. It was like I was in #genx again.

She convinced me to put black lipstick on, I looked at myself and
washed it off immediately. I didn't want to be a goth, and it
didn't match my white hair. Then everyone started talking about
hair dye. I mean, seriously talking, about how my hair would take
it, despite all my protest about the lipstick and stuff.

Anyway, I don't read alt.fan.wednesday. And it was like I was the
only one there who didn't. Everyone else seemed to know she had
some goth boyfriend from/in the U.K. and all this other stuff.
But as I went to explain this to her, in order to avoid misunderstandings
later on, I walked in on a conversation where she was explaining
where she lives, obviously to other non-readers. Duh.

Eventually, the part of my brain that makes happiness just shut
down. I felt horrible most of the time. I guess I built it all
up and stuff and was disappointed on both counts.

I should have known from the start that people who know how to
converse have little use for video games. So it should be no
surprise that everyone ignored it, and I should have been more
surprised that Jason actually played it some.

And I should have known, and in fact I knew but was told otherwise,
that I hardly know Bev, so it should be no surprise that it felt
like I was meeting her for the first time.

This is not to say that I won't do this again, but I'll take it a lot
less seriously next time if it's just some person whom I've e-mailed
five or six times and never really talked to real-time. When Jaffo
comes down to Phoenix I'll be sure to meet him and Jen, but I won't
really expect it to take up a whole day. And if someone visits who
I've talked a lot with, like Stephen Tanner or one of them, then
I'll expect to have more to talk about.

And next time I'm invited somewhere, I'll bring food. Equipment and
video tapes generally do better when lent out, than brought for a
single get-together in which I can account for its usage the whole
time it's there. I wonder if it would have been worse if everyone
had been playing. I'd be embarassed, probably. I'd feel surrounded.

Thats where you went wrong Nick. If I ever meet up with Bev I'm going to
bring along my webtv. Man I'll be the hit of the party.

Next time I go somewhere, I will bring only food. I don't have to pack
up food and bring it home. And I'd invest less time in getting food
than I would in collecting old electronic shit for two years, so I
wouldn't have this extra-cool food that has years of history behind it.

And food isn't geeky. Ever. Name me a geeky food.

And, it's quite impossible to deny that both happened. Bev was met
and both Atari's were in a social situation.

Well... I was like pulled in all sorts of directions. And stuff. The
only time I see most of these people are at Jason's parties, so I try
and spend time to catch up a little.

>Second, Bev was cool and everything. But, she was EXACTLY like

Really?? *boggle*

I mean, I see some commonalities... but but... they're different!

>And I couldn't
>connect her to what I knew of her so far.

1. Conical cleavage. Check.
2. Eclectic CD collection. Check.
3. Sense of humor. Check.
4. Religious convictions.
(of some sort. :) ) Check.
5. Matches little toony gif. Check.
6. Same voice as on the phone. Check.

If that wasn't Bev, it was a good replacement.

I admit, I wasn't exactly the life of the party either. But, you
know, that's me. And I accept that. I have fun in my own way.

But it looked sooo cute!!

Of course, I was of the camp that you shouldn't dye your hair. It's
cool the way it is.

AFAIK, only Jason and I read AFWd. Everyone else musta got the inside
scoop from either Jason or Bev. *shrug*

Oh. Ok. And stuff.

Well, yeah. There is a noticable difference between email/usenet/irc
and rl. No matter -who- you're meeting.

First of all, I thought it would be best that people get an accurate
account of what happened when we met, lest people start their own
rumors.

In fact, I'd be interested in finding out how everyone thought it
WOULD go, before the event. Honestly. I'll bet at least one person
thought it would be the biggest disaster since Hurricane Andrew,
and at least one person thought we'd become yet another cute
Kibologist couple.

As for why I'm allowed to whine and you're not, it's because I
bring up legitimate issues which affect my life today and seek
advice on how to make things better, and people can respond to
that.

Nobody can help you go back and be cool in high school, and nobody
can help you with Wired and the Well because it's not your problem;
it's a gripe which few people care about. These are non-issues.

In faaact.....

See, you put your response in alt.society.high-school! What the
hell is that all about? I graduated last year! And
alt.online-service.well? That's, like... you cross-posted there for
no reason! They're your alt.webgod and ne.general!

With Speedbump, it was rent control. With Goober, it was medical
marijuana. With Bum, it's the kewl table, and it's getting pretty
bad.

The one time I went to a DAQ (which is essentially a party for users
of JMU's BB system {who are often refered to as VAX Nerds}) I felt
totally freaked out. Everyone else was either goth, gay (not that
there's anything wrong with that) or both.

Ah well. Sounds like an alt.folklore.urban gathering that I went to once
in New York with Kibo. I had gone to various AFU meetings before and had
a fine time there, but this time, I had forgotten that I hadn't actually
read the group in many months and hadn't posted in even longer, and that
nobody knew who I was, and that I didn't know who many of them were.
Also, I was slightly ill, had a splitting headache, and was feeling
depressed about my lack of thesis progress. So I came across as Kibo's
rather withdrawn, anonymous sidekick. The whole thing was an achy
depressive blur to me. I even forgot that I had met Ted Frank there
until he brought it up the other day at his wedding reception.

So, anyway, in my experience MANY Kibologists are more fun than FEW
Kibologists (with certain exceptions), I guess, would be my basic
central point here, if there were one. And to illustrate my point, see
this simple laboratory demonstration. MANY Kibologists?

[Stefan Kapusniak, Bev White, David DeLaney, Ellen Holmes, RonE, Lupus
Yonderboy, Bruce Ediger, Joe Bay, Lisa Pea, Jaffo, Andrew Jeanes, Scott
Ramming, Hong Ooi, Maelstrom, and Stephen Tanner frolic amongst an
admiring crowd of attractive, bikini-clad young men and women of all
sexual orientations. They all cheer with enthusiasm at the fun they are
having!]

And how much fun are YOU having, FEW Kibologists?

[We see a car. Banging noises are coming from the trunk because
Roger Douglas and Ben Weiner are trapped inside.]

A textbook illustration of my basic hypothesis! And how about YOU, OTHER
FEW Kibologists?

[Kia Mennie and Ted Frank shove their hands into the camera lens.]

Uh-oh, looks like we've found AN EXCEPTION! Our result was UNEXPECTED.
That does NOT mean that it is wrong. However, it is unusual enough that
it should not be used. That's the Scientific Method!

Yes.

Nick's story was also boring, unfunny, and rife with personal narrative
full of navel-gazing whimpering.

You pick out a shirt! You pick out some pants! You put on the shirt!
You put on the pants! You put on your shoes! You choose a breakfast

Jaffo's journals are also boring, unfunny, and full of navel-gazing
whimpering as expressed through personal narrative. Nick is boring, you
are boring; all three of you are boring. Tedious! I like all of you,
pretty much.

I just want to make that clear, Lee; you're singled out because of
some other reasons beside your navel-gazing. I am not allowed to reveal
those reasons for the same kind of reasons why you are not allowed to take
pinecones out of California state redwood parks. Or another good analogy
would be the Prime Directive on that Space Track show.

No, it Makes Me Happy to imagine some "(WELL)pern" poking about Usenet

it's kinda like an injoke 'cause you have to know my online "persona."
I wasn't being serious. I really don't care if you post about
introspective things to a.r.k. I know I can't do it without someone
making a snide remark (for whatever reason.) Big deal. Maybe 'cause I
haven't met any Kibologists in person (although I will be the first to
admit that I _was_ invited to The Wedding but wasn't able to attend.)

Nick, m'boy...

See, the real problem is that Nick doesn't do enough drugs. I'm
serious about this. He's manic. People who meet him for the first
time think he's on speed. He needs some downers to get to the same
place everyone else starts out at. He's got that whole zero-attention-
span, random fixation thing going on.

And right now, he's fixating on Wednesday and Atari. As far as
fixations go, not bad, but at this point, just not fixating period
would be a good thing.

I used to be exactly the same way, so I sympathize, but man, hit
the "smack" button on your Tamagothi. Oh wait, you're not a goth.
Take some smack anyway. You're allowed.

Well according to the PK commercials eating onions is like ewww onion-breath
nerrrd. But if you have some chewing gum afterwards you're cool and you can be
one of the beautiful people again. Also I suppose a fetish for eccentric pizza
toppings could be considered geeky unless you manage to make it look like you're
a wild and wacky guy. Also I remember in primary school when we had one of
those parties where everyone had to bring a plate of food and the standard thing
was to bring fairy-bread(little slices of bread with hundreds and thousands
sprinkled all over) and I brought wholemeal bread instead of white bread.
Ayeeee. The shame. The burning shame. You just turn on your webtv and travel
back in time Mr. Bensema and you tell that ostracised little boy there is no
such thing as a geeky food. DAMN YOU!!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!

*blink* You mean this was something that had a number of people anticipating
outcomes? I have a hard time believing that people CARE enough about what
happens when Nick and Bev meet to start wild rumours or to have opinions
of this type. And, well, if they do, I sure don't know about it, and it's
probably a good thing that I don't.

I'm also failing to see what the problem was. There were a lot of people at
the party who were really cool and fun to talk to, there were munchies,
and there was conversation, and so on. The garlic popcorn wasn't finished,
either, but this doesn't bother me tremendously.

And if this is all because I'm dating "some goth in the UK" (we weren't
posting directly about it for a number of reasons), um.... Chill? It
was a recent, sudden, and rather unexpected development in both of our
lives, especially since I never expected anyone to ever love me after 1995,
but it's certainly not something I felt like splattering around the USENET.
We're CUTE in my froup, but that's about it.

I suddenly feel like I was obligated to have some kind of reaction upon
meeting you, and, er, I don't do that, you know? Things happen, and it's
*hard* to be around someone who's concerned to the point of near-exclusive
fixation with How Things Are Going, let alone when you have to live up to
some standard you were previously unaware existed for you. Bad enough I
just got over that with others.

Tjames Madison is there too! You just couldn't hear it because I said it
in duck language, the language in which ducks say the Pledge of
Allegiance.

And besides, I'm not there at the time of this event. I'm on the other
side of the world at a rest stop in New Hampshire where Sam and I are
trying to have a nap so I don't have to play John Philip Sousa on the CD
player to keep her from falling asleep at the wheel, and it isn't
working even though we are incredibly tired, because the whole place
(unlike the highway itself) is brilliantly lit up with 1,000,000,000
watt quartz lamps, and gigantic eighteen-wheeler rigs keep farting
around the lot. During the day, the place is a convenient combined
highway rest stop and state liquor store, which is slightly disturbing
but I try not to ask too many questions in New Hampshire.

I am posting a lot about highway rest stops and truck stops tonight
because I YEARN FOR THE OPEN ROAD. I'm brimming over with wanderlust!
You can tell because I sprung for the monthly MBTA Combo Pass. Also
I just booked a flight that has just a 40 minute layover in Newark!
Nobody gonna slow me down!

If I had BIG BREASTS and NEKKID BUTTS on my web site, I would think all other

Don't base your self-worth on your possessions. Sure, maybe you don't have a
"WebTV" but that doesn't mean you're a defective PERSON. It's what's INSIDE

A friend of mine saw a liquor store there (on Hwy 1, I believe) called
"Bunghole Liquors". She swears it's true.
Has anyone else seen this or know someone who has?

IHNJH, I just want to say that the guy in the PK advertisement is one

There's just something about the way he says "onions? yeah, I love

Outside of a defective person a WebTV is a looser's best friend.
Inside of a defective person it's too dark to read! Unless they're
really defective! Like those people 2-Face draws!

Wyoming is for wimps! A guy I used to work with was somewhat despondent when he
moved to the state I currently live in because there were no drive thru (<- spelling

the state of Louisiana: "You know they stop you at the border in Louisiana. If they
find that you don't have any alcohol they'll force you to buy one of their daquiris."

Ah, yes, octagons have ten sides, and the decimal system divides
everything into twelves. I gues hexadecimal is 8 + 12 then, so
hexadecimal is 20. I understand it all now...no, Zathras no

Well, if the story of your life consists of boring, unfunny personal
navel-gazing, it stands to reason that that's how it would come off when
you post about it to the net, doesn't it? I mean, holy tautology, Bum-man.

Amazing, isn't it? You cross-post, starting in the middle of a thread,
into groups that you don't otherwise contribute to, making unclever and
unfunny observations, and you're met with an unfavourable reaction.
How about that.

Oh, kiss my hairy white butt, you inconsiderate Italian stereotype!

I mentioned vampires frequently when I first started in this newsgroup, but I
haven't mentioned vampires more than 10 times in all of 1997.

Actually, I'm beginning to realize that I'm just being paranoid
about this whole thing.

I felt like I would be put under scrutiny.

I read all of my posts, no matter what newsgroup they're in. I
skip a lot of other people's. It stands to reason that I would
follow my own angst more closely than other's regard, or lack
thereof, for my angst.

I find it necessary to constantly remind myself that nobody wwants
to hear about any of it, and I have to keep all of my feelings to
myself if I am to be tolerated.

I guess if I'm to learn anything from this, it is that my feelings
are not relevant to the general public.

This realization totally kills my confidence for the night, which
I would have ... BLOODY FUCK! There I go again. Never mind.

Well, this is sort of not-true, since Yogi the Telepathic Dog gets

No, Christer is saying that New Year's, rather than being a single

Although due to the precession of equinoxes, these were a *different* two
months every year.

It's called "perceived other" I think. Teens typically have that

I, on the other hand, stil have my "personal fable" complex.

Again, not ONLY do you get to meet BEV (without her hissing at you
like she would me) but YOU get to post about angstful things WITHOUT
having to worring about what the penutgallery will think.

Moderation in all things, including universal moderation. Plato, or
Hypothesis, or Epicurean or somebody, one of those dead greeks, said
that, or something similar. I forgot what I was going to say. It
really sucks to be older'n god, and senile, and read what these damn
teenagers and 20-somethings write, and it's great, and I can't write my
way out of a paper bag, and I drool a lot, and I'm jealous &/or envious
of Nick and SWTanner and the rest, and intolerable. So there. And I
started out with a point, where did I leave it, oh yeah, the middle
route, balance, something like that.

The hell with it. You'll probably figure it out.

I beg to differ. I've been reading every one of those damn things and it
never ceases to amaze me how thoroughly E manages to avoid any reference to
me whatsoever. I think last year I did the ultimate whiny follow-up by
rewriting a TWARK and putting myself in it. If you want anything done right
in this froup you have to do it YOURSELF.
