...or it may earn me the title of worst thread starter!

Therefore, in a bout of shamelessness, I'll post this sequence of orgNotes shared between me and brother GangstaFam! This perfectly illustrates how we...uh...operate.

-----

GF: you're up early. what's new?

-----

Me: I haven't gone back to bed after Tracy went to work. I may go for a nap though. This Pluto stuff is out there!

-----

GF: I don't like it one bit!

-----

Me: But what about the idea of there being 12 or more?

-----

GF: Nope. It's all a bunch of bunk. In my day, we had 9 planets...and we LIKED IT!!

-----

Me: But don't you like the symmetry of 8?

-----

GF: nope!

-----

Me: I don't know what to think.

-----

GF: It sucks and you know it!

-----

Me: Yeah, but I like 8. I'm mixed.

-----

GF: Turncoat.

-----

Me: But think about the pairings then- Mercury and Venus, Earth and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune... and 4 terrestrial planets and 4 gas giants... it makes sense.

But I do like Pluto. Last week when they said there'd be 12 I was literraly jumping up and down with excitement.

Besides, there's already huge controversy raging so the decision may not be final after all.

-----

GF: Where to I sign up to boycot?

-----

Me: I don't know yet. New articles are popping up every minute on yahoo!

-----

GF: You're obsessed, huh?

You gonna go see Snakes on a Plane tonight?

-----

Me: I AM obsessed. I've been reverting to total geek mode lately. I'm making tons of basketball cards on Excel and making other basketball related lists. I even made a list of the 26 letters in order yesterday. And now this.

We'll probably see Snakes tomorrow.

-----

GF: This immigration stuff has ruined you!

Oh...you know those extra basketball cards you left around here? Who did you want those given to?

-----

Me: It has toad ruined me!

Those cards are for Shane.

-----

GF: Do you think he'll appreciate 'em?

Have you listened to any more Cure?

-----

Me: I think he'll definitely appreciate them- he's been asking me for a long time!

I listened to Head on a Door twice and have had "Push" in my head ever since! Yum!

Aren't you interested to see my letter list?

-----

GF: Start a thread!

Have you put on any of the bonus discs yet? What'd you think of Head?

-----

Me: Oh my God- that douche Ronan Keating just came on Max!

I'm scared to start a thread.

I have yet to venture to the bonus discs- I was too entranced by the albums!

-----

GF: Hit me with the lists then!

-----

Me: Note the spacing:

1. V- 10

2. K- 10
3. B- 10
4. U- 10
5. Z- 10
6. I- 10
7. J- 10

8. Q- 10
9. X- 10
10. C- 10

11. N- 9
12. E- 9
13. T- 9
14. M- 9

15. G- 9
16. W- 9
17. R- 8
18. A- 8
19. L- 8
20. S- 8
21. D- 8

22. P- 7
23. Y- 7

24. O- 5
25. H- 5
26. F- 5

-----

GF: What's wrong with F? And did L fall off in a major way?

-----

Me: Lowercase f would be up there, but I'm quite ambivalent about it as a whole. L may have fallen off from being too mainstream.

-----

GF: B is pretty fuckin' mainstream, Bob.

-----

Me: This may be the most ridiculous and perfect sequence of orgNotes ever!

-----

GF: Hey, I'm being summoned for a movie. Call me this weekend, please!

-----

Me: I'm thinking I may want to post this entire sequence of orgNotes as its own glorious thread. Would you approve?

-----

GF: Go for it.

We're all geeks here. What makes YOU so special??

At least u have orgnotes LOL


I dont really get any. Iam not surprised. That nikki chick used to orgnote me, then she vanished without even telling me

NoTime2Hate said:

Probably the fact that I actually took the time to order all of the letters of the alphabet in favorite order. But yeah, we pretty much are all geeks here.

wtf?

amateur said:

Exactly.

Moonbeam said:

can you explain the numbers to the right?

madartista said:

yeah please

I have to side with GangstaFam on the Pluto thing. I think it's BS and I wanna boycott too. Guess that makes me a geek as well.

ZombieKitten said:

Those are my feelings about the letters on a scale from zero (absolute seething hatred) to ten (love).

One time my friend and I mapped out which letters of the alphabet are male and which are female

babynoz said:

It bugs me too, but it also intrigues me.

And I love geeks.

applekisses said:

We've done that and figured out which color suits them best too. Numbers as well.

Moonbeam said:

show us!!

Moonbeam said:

THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! You guys have to meet my friend Amy!

ZombieKitten said:

I don't think we've ever had an org conversation about that.

When I was little, I was the only kid to fail a kindergarten assignment. The teacher called my mom to explain that I had failed to follow such directions as "draw a red triangle, draw an orange circle", etc. My mom then proceeded to explain that things like shapes, numbers, letters, and colors were more than just their abstract selves to me- they were my friends, and I had them all in favorite order. As my favorite shape was a triangle and favorite color was yellow- every triangle I made had to be yellow, and so forth.

applekisses said:

Don't even get me started on the decimal point.

Moonbeam said:

Got it. 2 questions:

1) What does U do for you that makes it a ten?
2) In light of the orgNote reveal that lower-case letters have different relationships, can we see that list as well?

Thanks.

Moonbeam said:

madartista said:

1. I love the symmetry of the U and its shape, as well as its sound. It also shows up in some cool words. Can you tell that I love Uzbekistan and the word "ubiquitous" from my list? That said, a lowercase u MUST be symmetric too. No tails or shit like that.

2. I haven't made the lowercase list, but I'll work on it post haste!

Again, note the spaces.

Lowercase list:

1. v- 10

2. j- 10
3. b- 10
4. k- 10
5. u- 10
6. z- 10

7. x- 10
8. i- 10
9. f- 10
10. q- 10

11. c- 9
12. g- 9
13. t- 9
14. n- 9
15. e- 9

16. h- 8
17. m- 8
18. s- 8
19. w- 8
20. r- 8

21. a- 7
22. y- 7
23. d- 7
24. l- 7
25. p- 7

26. o- 6

Moonbeam said:

v, k, b, u, z all stay strong. there are no letters ranked below a six. would you say collectively that u prefer the lowercase to the uppercase? i generally tend to, though when filling out forms, i do prefer uppercase.

also, spacing is noted on both lists. can u please explain?

madartista said:

Yeah, I kind of prefer the freak letters. The uppercase letters I love are my favorites, but the ones I'm not crazy about piss me off the most- so I'd say the uppercase letters are more variable. The spaces are there to denote different tiers of feelings. v is in a class by itself. Then j, b, k, u and z, etc.

I compiled a combined list based on averages of the 2 cases and then in descending order based on the rank for each case. Here are the results.

1. V/v
2. K/k
3. B/b
4. U/u
5. J/j
6. Z/z
7. I/i
8. X/x
9. Q/q
10. C/c
11. N/n
12. T/t
13. G/g
14. E/e
15. M/m
16. W/w
17. R/r
18. S/s
19. F/f
20. A/a
21. L/l
22. D/d
23. Y/y
24. P/p
25. H/h
26. O/o

Here's a list of the 10 digits in order:

1. 8

2. 4
3. 2

4. 7
5. 5
6. 9
7. 0

8. 3

9. 1

10. 6

My favorite letters are (though not in any kind of order and based on looks alone)

a
g
Q
O
M


actually I don't really like any others I'm pretty snobby!

ZombieKitten said:

Elitist! I totally agree on the g and Q!

Moonbeam said:

Q can be the most beautiful letter of all, in the right font. I get totally all if a client of mine has a name beginning with Q
