I never create threads on here... always been more of a hijacker. And how do I know what it is to hijack a thread? Because I've GROWN UP on Xixax. Seriously, we do not have a thread devoted to the fact that this place becomes some bizarre refuge from the world... seeing as we all tend to be a wee bit misunderstood.
Xixax: For the mentally superior and socially challenged. That was my one contribution to the marquee and it remains true (even if we hide it well).
Anyway, I went back and read some of my old posts and cringed a little... and laughed... and agreed with myself over again.
Some of the best advice I get, is on here. Some of the most understanding people are you guys. Some of the best laughs I laugh are because of posts gone wrong, or just general humor and wit. Basically, this is my love letter to xixax. Corny as it may be... it just needed to be said.
:bravo:
yeah, i like you douche bags too!!!
even though ya'll hate me...i still keep my hydro-phalic head held high...i am actaully quite amazed at how smart some of the people here are...soem examples:
pubrick...i like him i.. think he's very smart...read hi sshit..its well written and very intelligent.. but he can be a dick :(
mac-g: how can anybody not like motherbrain..he's a virtual filmpedia...always helpful..and never talks shit...unless that person deserves it...he's my friend :yabbse-grin:
i just wanted to name drop 2 people...i promise, when my 5,000th post..i will name drop all individual people...its gonna make ya'll wanna fuck me..its gonna be nice and very thankfull to all here...look for it
Technology sucks. Typed up something. Browser crashed. FTU. I'll try to paraphrase.
Xixax has taught me so much of what and what not to be. While the sarcasm and cynicism can be tiresome and grating at times, it's a good barometer.
Here, we've always lamented the fact that smart movies get ignored and smart TV shows get cancelled. Most people don't understand why, but recently it's become glaringly obvious to me. It's two-pronged: good film and television are smart. Intelligent people are aware of birth control, hence they don't procreate nearly as much as stupid people. Also, they're aware that while these vices are nice, there's so much more to do in life than be glued to that TV screen or soda-soaked cinema seat. Odd tangent I know, but it really is the essence of Xixax. Sacrilege, too, I know! But I'm at that point in my life where, as much as I love watching movies, I want so badly to create something memorable, and I know that's a goal of a lot of people here, too.
The debates are always fun to read, though I don't participate as much as I'd like because the older I get, the more I find trying to sway others' opinions just doesn't matter as long as I'm able to see both sides (F. Scott Fitzgerald).
Xixax ebbs and flows. Different time periods are more memorable than others. It's a living organism with its own biorhythm. But I'll shup about that before I start sounding too much like Donald Kaufman.
I love the 'xax. Try as I may to pull myself away ("We're the reason you can't finish your screenplay"), I keep coming back. I've met some good friends here and learned a lot. And ultimately, that's what matters.

That's what I love about this place... I get tired of being the most cynical person in my everyday life, and it's nice to know that when I need to, I have a well to drink from, a monolith of sarcasm to put my hand up to, a place that hates Crash as much or even more than I do.
I promised myself I wouldn't cry.... :yabbse-cry:
It's pretty easy to overlook just how great of a board this is. I post on quite a few other ones, and they're horribly maintained, very clique driven... this board is welcoming to those who earn a welcoming, but doesn't dismiss anyone entirely. People have their cycles, etc. Some great discussion goes on here, and I find myself checking this board constantly because there is so much to be read.

Reread my post.
Could you give me the jist?
Thanks
ps. I just don't like rereading because i already know how it ends and it takes out all the mystery, but otherwise jists are ok because they're like you can get the no mystery over with quick and my internet time is almost used up
Thanks
This board doesn't remind you it's great. Mac and Mod (and anyone else who might find it before them) do a great job of posting the news, and I think it's easy to take that for granted since it's just been going on for so long.

geez. Maybe we should have weekly reminders. I never would have thought of that. I just thought you were trying to be cool by pretending you overlooked how great the board was so easily. I guess we need reminders to prevent it in future. Great point!
Thanks

instead of weekly "we're cool" memos, how about donating to keep xixax funded?

I just saw this documentary in a class I took where these very nice and open-minded straight guys said that for a gay man to find them attractive made them--against their will or better judgment, even--feel all insecure and fear that there might be "something gay" about them. They were all middle aged, and I'm thinking that most 30-or-under males in 2006 would just think it's an ego boost for anyone to find them hot regardless of their gender or orientation (I certainly have no objection to any of the small handful of ladies who've found me appealing), but the lucky few shall remain nameless at this time just in case they'd feel weird.... Since I don't know what most of you look like, this would be based mostly on how appealing your personality is.
I will take the opportunity to indulge my Kinsey "five"-ness and say I'd give Thrindle a vigorous cuddle, too! :shock:

i'm actually more flatterrred when guys tell me i'm good looking rather than girls.
but that's me.
I hate to lead a man on since I won't put out, but if they find me attractive, it's pretty flattering. It's not that I couldn't love a man, I know I could. I could live with one, we could have emotional conversations, everything you do with a woman, but a man's body just doesn't do anything for me.

Awww... It's comments like that, that caused the creation of the Womb Thread... thanks... :oops:
As for the Kinsey Scale: I'd say I'm about a two. I admit that I've been sexually attracted to women, but a three would mean that I feel an equal attraction for both sexes... which doesn't seem to be the case.

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I'm not gay, but that is one
attractive man," you're a one. And I know for a fact that just about every guy here has a serious man-crush on Clooney.
so in order to be homosexual you must think "i'm not gay, but those are six attractive men."

Well, to be a five, you'd be thinking, "I'm pretty gay, but that Angelina Jolie..."

A Clooney man-crush is such an inescapable thing, I'd almost think you could still be teetering on the 0/1 fence. I actually don't think I know of anyone on God's green earth who wouldn't give Clooney a snog if given the opportunity. The glorious perfection of George Clooney transcends sexual orientation.
Picolas--a 1 or a 2 wouldn't be called a "homosexual" or even a "bisexual," really--you'd have to be a 3 or 4 for that, I think. I think you can be a 1 without ever really entertaining the possibility of same-sex sex, but you'd be comfortable enough to acknowledge the hotness of a person of the same sex. For those of us at the 1 or 5 end of things, it's usually like, "Yeah, some of the same/opposite sex might possibly make me feel kinda remotely tingly, but since my feelings are so obviously much stronger the other way, why spend too much energy on that?" I think "incidentally heterosexual" means that if I were drunk at a party and, like, Naomi Watts came onto me, I'd be up for it. So to speak. But then again--this is my opinion--that kinda falls into the Clooney "well who the hell
wouldn't?" category....
i'd sleep w/ clooney.
Clooney's on TV now. Some re-run of a talk show.
(long sigh)... what is it about him? He's for men what Angelina Jolie is for women.
I wouldn't have sex with him, but I would give him a vigorous cuddle.
I'd give him a goodie bag, which he will proceed to auction off for charity.
Weird how this has started from a 'Ive grown up on Xixax' thread to a : 'its okay to feel gay sometimes' thread.
I think Jared Leto is hot but that's because he's really a chick.
