Kinda a stupid question, but...

[KY2NJ]

How old is everyone here? Cause I love 80s music, and every 1 thinks Im weird cause Im only 16. Is ne 1 here a big fan of 80s music and either 16 or younger? It would make me feel better 2 know Im not the only 1. Thanks! :)

[JayTheFF]

I'm only 14 and I LOVE IT!! GnR forever!

[MerrySunshine]

Honey, it's OK to like what you like . . . even if it's old geezer 80s music. :) I happen to be 30 and so that 80s music was the pop music du jour when I was a kid, but, guess what? I also really liked stuff from the 70s/60s/50s back then. So it's not so strange to like music that's older than or as old as you. Just get down wich ya' bad self and dig what ya dig. ;) Plus, listen to some of the dance music today and then go pick up some Kraftwerk or Joy Division from back in the day. The 1980s gave birth to electronica and you can hear it in every note of the new stuff. And rap: Nelly's latest song sounds totally like old school 80s/early 90s rap too . . . . So I'd say that you're just exploring the roots of what's popular now if you're diggin' 80s music . . . . And, hey, look around at all of us. You're in great company! :D

[garnet]

I'm 33 :D

No, you are not weird for being 16 and liking 80's music. More power to you!

[NikDC]

Just shows you have taste. :D

At 26, I'm one of the younger ones in here, but age is really a mindset in this place, you'll find.

[MerrySunshine]

And if we're talking mental age, I'd say that the lot of us average out at about 12 and a half. ;)

[vester]

13 on a good day. ;)

[Short Chris]

I like how vester dodged that age question... ;)

[MerrySunshine]

She's not 13?

[sunshinegirl]

It's all about acting your shoe size... 6 1/2, thank you very much! :D

[vester]

Sunny, you and I could share shoes!

Aloha X! You dodged the question too my friend. ;)

[MerrySunshine]

He's not 13?

[sunshinegirl]

Well vester, we'll definitely have to do that!

I see a whole new area for Fed Ex to tackle...shoe exchange! ;)

[vester]

It's ingenius! Why has no one thought of it before.
We'll be pioneers. Can I be Half Pint?

[sunshinegirl]

Hmm...would the money we save on shoes be overshadowed by the money we spend on shipping?

Inquiring minds want to know...

[vester]

Simple.
We just have to ensure we buy very expensive shoes.

[Short Chris]

Hmmmm, you might have me on that one vester. Maybe I'll just admit to being older than you but younger than Newbs. :)

[vester]

Well X, I'm 25 so that would make you 27! ;)
Wow, is Newbs 30?

[Short Chris]

Ummm yeah, that sounds about right.

[sunshinegirl]

Hmm...I guess that makes me...what, 4?

[vester]

Yes.

[Short Chris]

Now go back and finish your juice-box little girl. So precocious these youngsters today.

[sunshinegirl]

Oh you just think you are so cool because you can drive.

Well then you can't use my big wheel. So there :p

[insearchofjason]

There is nothing right about sharing shoes. The only thing that creeps me out more, is when you see a pair of shoes at a garage sale. AS IF somebody is going to buy those beat-up old things for 10 cents.

Sunny, how do you wear size 6 1/2 shoes? Aren't you almost my height? I wear 9 1/2.

[MerrySunshine]

ISOJ, you and I can do the FedEx shoe swap, then . . . .

And speaking of shoes, when do your feet stop growing? For the longest time I wore an eight (from like seventh grade until I was 19 or 20), then eight and a half, in law school I moved up to nine . . . and recently, I've got to nine and a half. If this keeps up, I'm going to wear size 15 by the time I'm 40 and will have to shop for my dress shoes with all the drag queens . . . .

[vester]

She tips over a lot.

[insearchofjason]

I don't know about your feet, but I know your nose never stops growing.

[sunshinegirl]

I have small little dainty feet. Except they are tall...tall feet are a curse.

[MerrySunshine]

OK, please explain tall feet. I don't understand tall feet. Mine are tall if you stand them on end. I'm over six feet tall on my tippy toes! ;)

[vester]

Oh good, Merry. I didn't know what tall feet are either. I thought maybe I missed something in the Canadian translation.
Do you have big arches Sunny? Is that what you mean?

[insearchofjason]

That's what I'm picturing when I think of "tall feet".

Block feet.

[NikDC]

My feet are shrinking if anyone's interested. Apparently when you shrink, your feet do too. Something to ponder. Any 8s out there to trade with me?

[vester]

Oh God, when did you shrink?
Don't you shrink when you are a lot older?
I don't want to shrink anymore.

[MerrySunshine]

No, no. I've shrunk as well and my feet are getting bigger. That can't be right . . . . Maybe your foot shrinkage has somehow contributed to my foot growth.

[Short Chris]

So there is a zero-sum game going on between your feet? Very interesting.

[sunshinegirl]

Tall feet...

Yes I have very high arches but I also have a lot of foot between the top of my arch and the top of my foot. Try finding shoes to fit THAT!

The length of my foot is about a 5 1/2...my shoes that I have to buy range from a 6 1/2 to a 9...depending.

[insearchofjason]

No wonder you wore open toed sandles in November...

[NikDC]

As long as you only get the foot surplus from my shrinkage, Merry. Don't try blaming me if you get anything from the rest of the shrinkage.

Not vertically, vester. :p At least not that I've noticed...oh Lord, help me if I get any shorter and ISOJ can use me for a plate rest as much as a drink rest.

[Edited by NikDC on April 30th, 2001 at 11:27 AM]

[MerrySunshine]

And here I was thinking she was just trying to be fashion forward . . . . Actually, where I'm from, open-toed sandles in November is perfectly acceptable.

[vester]

I have high arches too Sunny, I feel your pain. But not the problem with the tall feet.

Whew, there is a guy in here who looks very much like Colin Firth. I just saw him in the hall and stopped in my tracks. I think he thought there was something wrong with him because he looked at me very self-conscious. Wow, I must find out who he is.

However, he is sorely lacking in the sexy accent department.

[NikDC]

COLIN, you say? HOLD UP!

Book me on the next flight to Toronto. Canada, here i come. Accent or no!

Find out if he's single.

I CALL DIBS!

[MerrySunshine]

No, apparently all other shrinking, both yours and mine is going to some unfortunate third party . . . . (Wait, maybe I know who that is . . . I am evil.)

Zero-sum game with our feet . . . very funny.

[sunshinegirl]

Well...so much for my "pity sunny's feet" party... ;)

You all are much too fickle.

[MerrySunshine]

You can always teach a British accent . . . well, nearly, Rene . . . . ;)

[insearchofjason]

Can someone post a picture of Colin Firth? I read the damn book over the weekend and I want to see this Mark Darcy charachter.

Bridget Jones is a bit annoying, don't you think? Obsessive to the point of not funny.

[NikDC]

YES PLEASE!

Must have a pic of Mr. Darcy...*sigh*

[MerrySunshine]

Esp. when she thinks 125 is too fat for a grown woman in her 30s . . . ye gods . . . . Glad in the movie they moved her up to the 140s range with that particular aspect of it.

[sunshinegirl]

I'm not feeling him.

[insearchofjason]

Me either. He's gay.

[NikDC]

Try married with a new baby.

I'm still planning on breaking up the marriage. I have no scruples.

[insearchofjason]

Go ahead Nikki... I'm sure you won't have much competition... at least not female competition. ;)

[sunshinegirl]

That means nothing.

But anyway, I guess he's just not really my type.

[NikDC]

Totally my type. Use this as a map, ladies, and you'll find this to be a fix-up I wouldn't turn down.

Tall, dark, handsome, brooding eyes. *sigh* Guess who won't be getting much more work done at this rate. *off to stare longingly out the window*

[vester]

I'll help ya Nik!
This guy looked exactly like the top picture.
Well that was embarrassing.
He was in HR. So I casually go in after he's left to make enquiries. Apparently he's one of our Sales Reps, married (boo), then he comes back to the office and we are introduced and I am sure I blushed and said something stupid and left.
I'm a goob.

He's coming back ...

[Short Chris]

vester, isn't that why you usually work from home?

[NikDC]

Son of a...

Damn married men. :mad:

[insearchofjason]

Can we please hurry up and post lots of posts so we don't have to scroll through those pictures every time we click on this topic? ;)

[insearchofjason]

Damn... who knew flood control was back!

[vester]

Why X, because I'm a goob? Quite possibly.

He asked me a question, I have no idea what it was.

There is no way that Colin Firth sends out the gay vibe.

[insearchofjason]

Any man photographed in a black turtleneck is gay.

[NikDC]

Poor vester.

I'm with you though. Nothing but the manliest of men there.

[insearchofjason]

Whew... finally we're on to the next page! ;)

[ellenmed]

Sorry Nik. I'm with sunny and ISOJ as well. He doesn't do anything for me.

Now remember Drew in her little Cinderella movie. I thought her "Prince" was very good looking. (Forgot his name.)

[vester]

Ellen, how can you say that! ;)

Wasn't he the bad guy in Mission Impossible 2?

[sunshinegirl]

I'm with ISOJ on this one.

It totally explains JC Chasez, doesn't it?

The guy from MI2 is kind of cute. Not as cute as Tom...but kind of hot all the same.

[vester]

Oh, don't be dissin' JC!!!! ;)

I am surprised that I noticed that there was anyone besides Tom in Mission Impossible 2. That whole movie was just to showcase his fabulous hair.

[insearchofjason]

The chick in that movie was hot as hell.

[insearchofjason]

Could I sound any more like trailer trash?

Got my crimper... now where's my el camino?

Christina?

[Dj Tranceboy]

I've been using loops from 80's music for years. Great low sub basses and killer synth lines. Check out my new single at http://www.mp3.com/liquidxrecords - "DEEPER LUV"

[DJ EXTREME]

Bad ass track, yo. You be scratchin' n mixin' fo real!

[ellenmed]

raha ha ahahaaa!

[MerrySunshine]

Wow, to quote a story from a friend of mine "f--k trance."

Where the heck did that come from? It was like a drive-by.

[vester]

I can't get into it.
The IT Nazis tell me it's too much for my delicate eyes/ears.

[MerrySunshine]

Trance, vester? I'm not much for it either . . . actually, I get bored with most electronic music now, find that my eight-measure phrase sensibilities don't do well with the two-measure phrases of most techno now-a-days. Musician friend of mine says it's b/c I'm too intelligent for it, need more mental stimulation. That's you too, right, v? :)

[vester]

You know it, Mer. :)

[leia1191]

Oh my God, Nikki. . ..

LOVE the Colin pics. LOVE THEM!!! God, one man should not be that gorgeous.

I'm gonna check out fares to Italy (and London, just to be sure). Between the 2 of us, we ought to be able to convince him to dump wifey. Either one of us would make an excellent stepmother. . . .

*evilscheminggrin* :D

[MerrySunshine]

I love that you're as much the renaissance woman as me, vester (more so, actually). :D I'll say it again, they keep us on opposite sides of the continent to keep it balanced out. ;)
