This is super gay, but I was thinking about how AS/ LG affected my life in some very big ways... it is how I met Sean, who was the reason I moved to LA. I don't know where I would be right now in life if I hadn't moved there. If I hadn't met him and moved there, I either would've stayed in VA (hopefully not), or I would've moved to NYC a year or so after graduating from college. Also it's the reason I met C who is a very awesome friend!

But anyways, I wonder how life would've turned out for me if I had never found AS. Life would've been a very different path for me.

If you never found AS, Would your life have been different in some way?

Yes. I'd never have met Thrash, never visited him in Jax and there would be less blood in my stool.

Bonus for me!

I'm positive my GPA would be higher.

My GPA would've been higher, too.

I also like hanging out with C.  Who else would keep going to the most depressing exhibits in museums with me!?

No. I was never part of the cast or crew, more like a member of the audience that somebody would drag on-stage, now and then, in order to take the piss out of them.

Meeting Ian was cool, he was my sounding board when I was toughing shit out in 2005.

No other major changes, not that hanging out with you ppl on the east coast is minor or anything....

I rock. Nick, we's a gonna get rich!

I have no idea what I may or may not have done if not for the A-S/the Gun. Probably more around the house.

we'll be slumlords.... posting here still but with better cigars

i wouldnt have a big box of sox

I wouldn't have learned my lesson about online relationships, would have had a really shitty week in NYC, never would've been to Live8, and generally feel that I would be lacking quite a few really good friends that I currently have.

I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of trick, so that tricky can call us all fags or something.  Anyway, here I go...

I would not have a 40 GB seagate hard drive.
I would not have a TATTOO.
I probably would have never thought to visit Boston on my own (meeting other folks around the country lured me into a false sense of security).
I would not have had a whole lot of laughs, and burns at the expense of others.
I would not have had a chance to ask Mello about her mom's sexual encounters.
I would never have been to the Rocky statue with Ed.
I would have never met tulip!
I would not always wonder what living in Antigua, or London, or Melbourne, or Osaka would be like.

i would've never had my only long term relationship haha.  or met a lot of really awesome people.  i seriously consider some of you my favorite people and have had some really great times.  plus a lot of places to crash on cross country trips....

i'd have to say though, my life was really altered by BBS'ing, which is what i started doing when i was 13.  that's the old school version of this - it was a local dial up to a message board.

Fag!

Wait, was that just an eitje burn or... Holy crap. Did you just pull off an unheard of 10-person burn?

I've been running them since I was 9 ...
I'd never give it up ...

Call me a fag if you will, but I love you fucked up misfits ...
We've all been a part of each others' lives for over a DECADE (more or less) ...
I'd never give that up either ...


Damn, now I really DO need a drink ...

I promise, within a half hour I'll be a total dick again!

Put the aloe vera tissues away, homo.

I got to BBS's late, but in typical fashion I was a CB budgie... same sort of chaos as this but at arms length.

I probably would have travelled as much as I have, but I doubt it would have been anywhere near as interesting of fun. I had such a great time in 2005, so much so that I followed up with a much slower paced but equally awesome time in 2007. I suspect 2009 will be more economic apocalypse end of the world lets fuck our livers properly one last time kind of a trip.

I'm looking forward to that.

That's a tenth degree burn.

Fuck off, dyke ...

I did the CB thing too, for years ...
We had a good geoup of people in Ct ...

Now, I've had a few drinks; fuck off ...
heh ...

My life would be unrecognizable if I hadn't taken that leap off of Carolyn's porch.

Carolyn, who then insisted we walk over to Easton Ave. to get fried eggs bathed in salt at 2:00 AM, while my left foot just sort of dangled uselessly at the end of my leg.

breaker 1-9 for a radio check? we got a smokie in the hammer lane with his discoss on....

i briefly had a CB in my old jeep (RIP)

Goddamnit! Balor was going to be the 100 Meter Hurdles Champion!

Modern Image-forums are the new citizens' band.

Roger that, good buddy ...

 If it hadn't been for that particular stupid stunt, I would have gone into the Army in 2002.

Instead, because of a string of injuries that ensued after I rushed back into training for enlistment again, I have spent the last six years in chronic pain.

But would you change history if you could?

Woah woah woah... that's getting a little TOO deep.

Fags!

Woah woah woah... that's getting a little TOO deep.

Fags!

So, a person's only a fag if they go too deep?

Yeah, balls deep in man ass, that is.

Yeah, balls deep in man ass, that is.

So, when you said "Deep Thoughts", you were really thinking about dudes fucking.

Probably.

She pictured you pouring the coals to Baggy while Sasha filmed it wearing only thigh high patent leather boots as she typed that.

The inner monologue can be a frightening thing...
