Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 03:35 pm  OK, here I go with my tangent of the day.... Is anyone else amazed at how REAL this all is. I know the internet fans think this is just a game and we're all in here just bullsh*tting, but this is real to me. I've laughed and cried. I've learned more about myself and human nature in the past week than I have in the past 15 years. People's reputations and feelings are at stake. It's not just T-shirt or CD Burner that we are gaining but a lesson in life. Maybe that's a stretch, but this has gone beyond a GAME for me. There is more emotion in these 9 people than I EVER saw in the BB house. I can't express how privileged I feel to be a part of this experience. I have to admit, after all the crap last weekend, I was having the same feelings as Snave...the game wasn't fun anymore. But you know what, life isn't always fun either. Do you walk away? HELL NO....you suck it up and deal and we all become better people because of it. Ok, I'm spent. That was better than an 8" Red Rocket. |
Moondance | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 03:55 pm  May ... well put! I am not sure if anything other than the real thing is better than 8"Red rocket ...well maybe if it is The infamous 'Rabbit".... |
Xenia | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:03 pm  Excuse me? |
Vykin | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:11 pm  hey xenia, this is giblets, well must feel nice to have attention diverted for you today? I have one beer left, here, you can have it. no strings attached. Its kinda tough being in this house when all the women PMS at the same time. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:15 pm  Hey everyone. It's Luke. I'm back, well, actually, I've been here all day. These boards have given me one royal headache. You know what? I'm gonna sit right here in the living room hope someone feeling in the mood to get off these other house topics for a little bit would like to join me for some wine and converation... If a fight breaks out in here, I'm off to the Hot Tub, or somewhere else where I can talk in peace. And if nobody joins, I can carry on a WONDERFUL conversation with myself--not a problem at all! <<sipping>> Mmmmm... good merlot... Anyone care for some? |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:23 pm  Luke, in another thread I offered to by the wine this time--I have a GREAT merlot for you to try!! May--Arrel and I have talked about that a fair amount in the late night chats--thoes help me to relax folks, I love talking about human nature, considering how we do things, and why we make the choices we do. How real this is, as I mentioned awhile back is pretty intense for me because I put all of myself into Roger. Juts think how intense it must have been for the real HGss!!!! WOW Vyk...did I hear that right?? |
Xenia | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:23 pm  Sorry guys, I don't drink. Giblets: Kinda tough being in this house when you have to exist with a moronic lush. Luke: Not to worry. No fighting. I'm not sticking around. Have a fun night though. One other thing I want to say to you Luke. Right from your first few posts, I really liked you. I wrote about it within my RR visits. I'm sorry that because of my reactions to other people that you have a such negative opinion of me. But, of course, it is understandable. I'm sorry we never got to know each other better. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:27 pm  Xenia, thanks for your last post. I truly appreciate your words, and I do feel they are sincere. Thanks. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:36 pm  Hello everyone. Mind if I sit down? I'm feeling pretty much very alone right now. And I agree with May, unexpectedly the feelings here are all to real. They are intense in a way I never expected, this being a computer and all. I also agree completely that it is a big lesson in human nature and in small societies as well. If Jade were around she would have her book. I would like to say one thing to all of you and then I will let it all drop. Sorry |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:41 pm  So what was your favorite movie, Arreal? I'd hav to say Joy Luck Club... did you see that one? Being an American-born Asian, I really related w/ a lot of stuff in it... especially those mothers! They're typical Asian mothers...! |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:47 pm  Actually, if you guys ever want to watch a good movie dealing w/ gay issues (besides "the Bird Cage"), I recommend "The Wedding Banquet". It's kinda old (early '90s) but I think it really gives a good outlook on the struggles of a gay couple... And it's also quite funny... |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:51 pm  Arreal I am saddened to hear that you feel all alone. I thought by now you would realize that the friendship we have established, or at least the connection of thoughts/feelings/philosophies would allow you not to feel alone. Book--made me think of something: "The philosopher's ideal is that of a rational being coexisting with other rational beings. He wants to doubt, he thirsts for objections, and attacks, he strives to become capable of playing his part in the dialog of ever-deepening communications, which is the prerequisite of all truth and without which there is no truth." Karl Jaspers "Way To Wisdom" Gee sound like any house you can think of??? |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:54 pm  Karl Jasper... I haven't heard that name since college! Do you like philosophy, Roger? I was big into existentialism a few years ago... Loved Sartre... Heidigger... I majorly got into Latin American existentialism in literature--Borges and such... |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:01 pm  I love philosophy! I don't get too much into the books as I enjoy going out and watching people. Then I make up my own philosophies. I'm a scientist that loves looking at human nature and the human condition. It's amazing what we have done to ourselves! |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:03 pm  Actually, my favorite movie is The Never Ending Story. Simple story, entertaining. But the words and the meaning of the place, "Fantasia" is what life is all about. towards the end of the movie the wolf explains that Fantasia is the hopes and dreams af all the people in the world. He goes on to explain that because people in the real world no longer have hopes and dreams, Fantasia is dying. The boy Atrayu doesn't know how to save the world of Fantasia, but the princess tells him all he has to do is giver her a name. He struggles with that because he doesn't know her name and imagination is dying in humans. When the last pieces of Fantasia break away, Atrayu finially yells out his buried mother's name. Fantasia begins to build again. The movie also shows how it is important to face oneself and accept who you are. It is the biggest challenge in life. Fantasia to me means know yourself, be honest and have hope in all things. My favorite. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:06 pm  Exactly... watching this house is amazing enough... and I'd go so far as to say that there's enough info within these posts and archives to write a book on the human condition! |
Moondance | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:32 pm  Hi Like!!!Arreal!!!Roger the man!!!! ... sorry I wasn't around much with the whole discussion with Tali & stuff but I am still in a fog about the whole thing.... I don't want you to feel like you are alone here Arreal... if you want to talk, I am here. And... I cannot wait to see 'Pay it Forward' ... it looks great. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:32 pm  I'm trying to figure out where everyone went. Funny. I ask to join and suddenly everyone leaves. How funny, strange. |

Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:36 pm  I have no Idea.... (((Moon))) (((Luke))) any ideas???? |
Moondance | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:37 pm  After some of these threads... I say DRINK! |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:37 pm  <<Arreal, I was going to ask about a cold shoulder. I made a comment a couple posts back about you being alone and you never responded...is there something I'm not aware of and should be?? I feel like this whole thing has caused some sort of rift that you aren't speakng of?? Just left over anxiety on my part?>> Hi Moon--Luke, more wine? |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:38 pm  Uh... You mean you need to ask, Roger? Fill me up, mister! |
Vykin | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:41 pm  Hi Roger, glad I caught you, I just saw a post from the Host regarding that one confusing question you asked. I think its in the Tali Speaks Out Folder. |
Roger_Ramjet | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 05:46 pm  Vyk--He posted it all over the place!! Go check out your general discussion folder about the confusion surrounding you--4:39 post. |
