What's your BOIL?

What's your average posts/day rate since you joined?

This is an interesting number since it takes into account time off the org, vacations etc. It's our true Basic Org Intoxication Level, if you will.

Mine is 17,8.

nuts

And I've sometimes been away for weeks during this time!
I don't even want to know what my rate would have been if I'd only counted the days that I've logged on at least once. Must be close to 40...

It would take to much math to figure that out. I think it's safe to say that most days I post about 15-20 times.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I've been weaning myself off posting for an eventual and nearby goodbye. What's the point of all this, really? To prove how clever and funny we are to stangers scattered across the world. I prefer flesh and chemistry and cheap wine.

I come here to avoid "flesh and chemistry" so this suits me just fine....btw if you have any cheap wine could you pass some over my way?

5.3 posts as a FIRST day member and there are few first day accounts left as people have a habit of getting all pissy and deleting them lol .


I just noticed that Sweeney is a first day member... I wonder how many are actively left?

Yeah, well there was about a year in there where my hard drive was broken and I never bothered to fix it so I only visited on occasion from work. And for a long time I mostly lurked, so there's that too. Don't feel so badly.

I can see how an internet site can serve many purposes, such as a vent to exorcise internal angst, sexual and emotional frustrations and (for most) also exist as a gateway to a reality without instant judgement by proviiding fresh slate to convey yourself however you wish, to expereince perceptions from all over the planet from boys and girls of all ages, racea and backgrounds, all willingly and conciously fooling ouselves into believing these sanitised, polite, witty, erudite, generally diplomatic and second-thought edited paragraphs covey the nucleous of the core of the people behind them, but it really is just a personal folly of concious hookwinking and eventually, a debilitating monkey on our backs because, in the end, it's not real. . We are all beautiful and pure, bastards and bitches. And I've had a wee drink.

And I agree with what you said. Both the positive and the negative. I just wish the positive wasn't so damn addictive. confused

Most times, beyond narcisism and egowanking, it takes another perosn to show us how incredivble we are, from the outside looking in, and retina, you're on the top rung of the Ladder of Dudes to my personal perception of said Laddfer of Dudes. Its not so high, but it exists, so its enough. Ugh. Anyway. We got off on the wrong foot, but Im sure we'd grab a giggle or three without any intoxigens or chemically dervied maind latering substances. You know, when I was 12 to around 15, I rarely left my house when I came home from school. I just read books and wrote, building up a massive reservoir of resent,ent towards this planet, its politcal systems, the human race's bacterial history and our attitude towards convervation and furure geneerations. Then, when things began to boil over, I made a gang and decided to become a chemical laboritory to see how far the human mind could go before meltdown. Thats another story, I've lived a full life, and for a long time I believed I wouldnt make it to 30, like a lot of silly fatalists. But, what this site has given me through another orger is a window to what is possible and a rebirth to my ownm perception of what exteremes the human pshyche can be twiusted and shook to, on a positve slant, pointing to the fucking stars ready to shoot through them when my day comes to discover the answer to all this criplling insanity and hilarious, maddening surrealism of putting one foot in front of anohter, on a floating orb somewhere in the infinty of a multiverse. And for that,. Ben,. thank you. I only came here to check tour dates.

You have my respect, 23. I agree that we got off on the wrong foot, but that happens when two people with more opinions than sense meet. wink

I'm glad to hear that you've found someone to light up your world. That can mean everything, especially when you've come from a dark place. I've been there too, so I know.

I'm going to try to shake this addiction. It's just a stupid website, so it should fade in comparison with certain other vices in my life. I guess I just need that extra incentive, like the one you seem to have found.

Good luck with your new path. May it lead to better things.

Shit baby, I'm not going that deep into it lol

My days of using the org as a means of making my self feel better by escaping myself and my place in my world are over. I have a few friends here and it's fun to fuck around with them. If the org was no longer here I'd still talk to the lovely Amorbella and the worship worthy Byron almost every day. nod

Now days the org is just better than TV that's all!

lol hug

I watched that Lost pilot eartlier there. I quite enjoyed it, despite myself. Clithed Bruckheimer bullshit every second, guys telling stories about past incidents which still haunt them to this day which paralyses their present actions etc. But, aye. I liked it. smile And I always knew Byron was a badass. nod

I think I worded that saying wrong. lol

I was referring to the difficulty to be good and sexy at the same time. If you're facing goodness, your butt will face sexiness (and according to this saying, that's not a good thing).

Crap, this is like explaining a joke. lol My fault entirely that I didn't word it correctly the first time.
