The First Question!! What's it's like being me? .. Great .. I'm my own best friend .. Ever have an argument with yourself, and loose. I cannot describe to you what's it's like. :) #05 ACAD2A::ASMDH Thu 17 Oct 1991 12:18:11 ( 8/ 551) From: The Woodmeister Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! Being me...I blindly stumble through an undending maze of color, shape, and sound. Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn't, all of it is amusing. I often wonder if these shapes controll themselves, or whether I subconciously control them, creating the world around me as I go. If so, I have one hell of a sense of humor, for I currently find almost everything at least slightly amusing, and often laugh for what most people see as for no reason at all. However, as long as the world around me continues to amuse me, I see no reason to complain. #06 ACAD2A::ASBAC Thu 17 Oct 1991 13:09:58 ( 4/ 210) From: Leprechaun Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! What's it like being me? I couldn't possibly answer that question until I knew what it was like being you, so I could have a proper frame of reference to explain meaningfully what it is like to be me. Sorry. #07 ACAD2A::PSSLA Thu 17 Oct 1991 13:39:43 ( 8/ 427) From: Lorraine Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! Well you don't really expect me to answer this honestly do you ? Well I'll try okay. I'm an adventurous person who likes to try new things, I get myself into trouble because of that sometimes. It's getting up early to shovle snow and feed my dogs and cats. Going for snowmachine rides with the wind setting you free, it's taking horsback rides at sunset. Enjoying life to the fullest Then there's school........enough said ! #08 ACAD2A::ASTCR Thu 17 Oct 1991 14:14:27 ( 6/ 494) From: the last golfer on earth Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! I am not sure what it is like to be me because being me is so confusing that I just really am not sure who I am. Is this making sense? Right now being me is like being a sandwich that dagwood never gets finished and the stuff in the inside keeps getting piled on. And then it is squished together so that it can fit into the smallish fram that I have . If you have suggestions of what I really am then please fell free to tell me. Do not include confused and short this are already a given. #09 ACAD2A::ASDAO Thu 17 Oct 1991 12:53:13 ( 4/ 175) From: Hacker Dave Subject: question.... Being me! could be better.....could be worse. Of couse, if you like everyone begging for your attention/affection then being me might not be so bad.

The First Question!! What's it like being you, he states? Heh. Were it that easy to answer in one simple statement, as it is, you have set me up for a 25k diatribeûß on the hellishness of modern society. You see, there are times when I wonder if the very laws of Reality (tm) are not set up specifically with intent of fucking with my life. This has been previously stated by such things as "For ever step forward I take, I end up two steps backward". Although, this is an oversimplification. Individualism has always been a high priority of mine. However, the forces of the universe seem to be melding me into your standard cog in the machine. The harder I try, the worse off I am. Hence, why try? Although I have not yet resigned myself to simply letting life lead me along as if it had a string attached to my nose, it seems the next logical step. For those of you on the IRN who have or have not enjoyed this little spewing forth, I must say this: suck me. Thank you for your time. #14 ACAD2A::FSSPR Thu 17 Oct 1991 22:49:04 ( 4/ 258) From: Classic BIFF Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! Well, often times when I am in the correct mood (i.e. usually with heavy chemical influence), I think about "The fascism of my being." Believe me, if you were a psych major, you could probably write your PhD thesis in the course of trying to figure me out. #15 ACAD2A::RSJFG Fri 18 Oct 1991 01:29:24 ( 19/ 782) From: The Road Warrior Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!! The First Question!! Well, first and most imortant, there's the sex every night... I pick and chooose as I please, and they all bow down... I'd have to say that that is the best thing about being me. Secondly most important is being the owner of a major Prostitution franchise. The money keeps rolling in! I mean, I can't spend it all! Then there's the sky scraper in New York that I own... Talk about a penthouse... This one puts the presidential suite to shame! Oh yes! We can't forget to mention the 4 Lamborghini's that I own, they have a high maintenance cost, but I manage... :-) That's about as abbreviated as I can get... And, since you know that I'm in Barrow, if you believe a word of this, I have a bridge ta sell ya! #16 ACAD2A::ASGAM Fri 18 Oct 1991 11:16:16 ( 9/ 615) From: pineapple Subject: Re: TA-DA!!!!

The First Question!! it is crowded living in a split-level brain... seriously, It is living in a web, betrothed to LLoth. you have to walk carfully, to balance your feelings with those of my friends... you must remember which friends mix, and which ones litteraly rip at eachother's throats... you must hide from relatives, for they seek only to betray you. you must do all of these things with ease, if you are to survive in the cold grey that is my world... #21 ACAD2A::ASTGM Sun 20 Oct 1991 16:43:21 ( 2/ 105) From: Is there anybody... out there?
