Secrets of the City

some jerk, and a guy who’ll kick you in the face

I just put a link to mine in my profile. I didn’t get any takers. Who am I, DeRusha?

Wow. Mnspeak and MySpace worlds are colliding. Me scared. I might never get off this damn computer now, and already I am in desperate need of an intervention.

Some egotistical getting-older TV reporter and a guy who’s MySpace used to be better when he was here.

When you click Molly’s link, it’s bad. Lots of profiles have this programming error. It’s got this junk in front of it: “http://www.mnspeak.com/mnspeak/archive/www.myspace.com/priesmeyer”

Just click on my name. Or click here.

And Chuck, I have been singing that GBV lyric in my head all week. Nonstop. I thought it was going away, but now I’m full-on stuck with it for the next three days again.

MNSpeak actually led me back to my MySpace page. I didn’t remember I created one, until someone calling herself “Heidi” pointed it out in December 2005.

and here you go

For your amusement only.

I shouldn’t do this, but here

or not. anyway, if the link doesn’t work again: http://www.myspace.com/highcomedy

I like your site’s layout, wayne.

Thanks, Jason. I used to do a lot of web design in college (even worked on the school’s website!), so I just threw together a little CSS hack before there were a zillion places for people to get premade layouts/designs. I also have a very-out-of-date personal website. I haven’t updated that since college, ha.

Cough.

my wife says I’m too old for myspace. thinks I ought to join the oprah book club and take up knitting.

who can pass up a chance @ self promotion?

why are all the women that post on mnspeak hot?
god, those bottles of wine are really kicking in. I mean, posting on mnspeak at 10:30pm … on a friday. what’s wrong with me?

I feel bad that wayne so paranoid.

oh hot and also probably way too old for me. I hate being young sometimes.

Posting at 10:30 pm on mnspeak AND browsing myspace. Good times.

I feel bad that all of us are chatting on MnSpeak on Friday night.

Where are our lives?

When did this go from a… what was the consensus? Community blog? When did this go from whatever it was before to a message board? Or is it only that I’ve been paying more attention lately?

It was during that nap you took.

What am I, Rumpelstiltskin?

I am super paranoid. My tinfoil hat is wrinkled and I need a new one.

Nope. Rip Van Winkle.

Rumplestiltskin? Was he a famous napper?

I just had a this very same conversation about Rumplestiltskin and Rip Van Winlke (not to be confused with Rip Torn.) Or course it was with my 12-year-old cousin.

Hey, who are you calling old!?

not old as in wrinkled, but old as in ‘too mature to be interested in me’

but then, I have dated a 30 year old when I was 20.

but then, I’m still drunk right now.

Nothing wrong with a few wrinkles.

Rip Van Winkle.

Shit. Yeah. That’s what I meant.

Rumpelstiltskin was a creepy motherfucker.

I have no clue who “Dustin Freeze” is…….

I’m not too old to be on MySpace.

But I am too lame to pick my MySpace name/URL.

everyone needs friends!

Mine: http://www.myspace.com/shadpetosky..but I usually only ad friends…and the studio’s..who’ll add anyone interested in what we do http://www.myspace.com/bigtimeattic

http://www.myspace.com/honey_crisp

Fun. I probably won’t add you though. Yes, you.

I think I need some MNSpeak friends.

http://www.myspace.com/shutterbabe1

in all sincerity, I’m thinking myspace isn’t the best way to develop friendships. it’s about as gratifying as 10 second teaser porn clips. wait, that’s not a good example . . . those do get the job done.

I definetly could use some MNSpeak friends:

Ingrid,
I have extended an invitation for MySpaceship for the following reasons:

1. There is an iMac behind you
2. You went to Iowa State and I am from the state of Iowa. Plus, many friends of mine went there, including two of my previous roommates. In fact one of them was also an art major – graphic design.
3. You seem nice.

My MySpace is the most exclusive club on the net. It has heretofore been limited to only those I went to school with or worked with. But, I believe since you went to ISU and so did many of my friends that makes you available for addition, which I humbly ask you to accept.

-Kevin, from Minneapolis

Kevin: I hope she added you.

And indeed she did.

Congratulations, and thank you.

I think the bartelcartel need their own myspace (faux or genuine, either will do). any volunteers to do the legwork?

I think the bartelcartel need their own myspace — I was thinking the same.

Having gone to Iowa State is enough to make me not friend someone. Only because I work with a bunch of ISUers and they piss me off with that shit sometimes. It’s not you, it’s me.

Iowa State… is that the University in Iowa surrounded by cornfields? Or is the University in Iowa in the middle of nowhere. I don’t remember.

Well ISU is the one where you’re surrounded by nobodies in the middle of nowhere. Iowa is the one where you’re surrounded by people that can read. =) But, then again, I call Iowa City home, so perhaps I’m just a bit biased.

My ISU friends have an ISU thing, too.

ISU is the one on I-35. University of Iowa is the one on I-80.

Jason is on TV right now.

If you read this during a commercial break…

BOOBS!

Hehe.

Uhhhh…this sports anchor…the make up job…bad…he looks like a corpse on CSI.

Wow…thanks for the comment Kevin. You do hold quite an exclusive myspace club…only five people. I’m honored.

I feel I should defend Iowa State. It’s the one in the middle of nowhere AND surrounded by cornfields. I kid! Actually I love Iowa and I have a lot of relatives there. But I have to say I prefer Minnesota. You might be interested in this Jason. My uncle once hosted the morning news program for KCCI…which I believe is the station that Jeanette Trompeter hails from.

Kevin, what is your graphic design friends name? We seem to be close in age, so I probably went to school with your friend.

Oh and Erica, I’m sorry you have to work with jerks from ISU. I suppose you will find jerks at any school.

That’s funny, Ingrid. KCCI was and is a great TV station– they get some of the best ratings in the country! (Jeanette is from there). I started my career in Davenport, Iowa; a town so lame that the best known school there is Palmer College of Chiropractic. I had a good time in Iowa. Probably not as good of a time as the kids in Ames were having…

One of my kids went to Grinnell. Driving there, you learn that St. Paul to Grinnell is the longest 400 miles on the planet.

I’ve had good times in Ames. It’s the only city in which I’ve ever peed in an alley and then ran a mile in the rain after five beers, three 10-inch long island ice teas and three hot dogs without eating anything in the prior 12 hours. Ah…memories.

Ingrid…he’s Matt on my friends list. He was graphic design.

I suppose you will find jerks at any school. — Oh absolutely.

I know two people that went to Palmer. Isn’t that the one of the best chiropractic schools in the country?

St. Paul to Grinnell is the longest 400 miles on the planet. — Worse than driving across South Dakota? (I imagine North Dakota is worse, but I’ve never been to North Dakota.)

KCCI might be good but they’re no WCCO.

Kevin, I don’t recognize your friend Matt. There are about 1 million students* that go there…so I guess it was a long shot.

*may not be accurate

Palmer is probably the best chiropractic school in the country. But: the student body doesn’t exactly make up a killer party scene. Unless your idea of a killer party scene is back adjustments for all!

Sadly, as I’m now in my 30s, a back adjustment is my idea of a killer party scene.

I’m actually more relieved that you don’t recognize Nick. There are some things from college he doesn’t remember, and I am glad you are not one of those things.

well posting in here was a mistake.

Go ahead and trash ISU all you want. They deserve every bit of scorn you can heap upon them.

it’s one thing to misdirect a thread with something humorous or enlightening…but to guide a post into an Iowa State discussion thread is more tragedy than comedy. You guys need to start an IACORNSpeak somewhere else.

I don’t hate ISU in and of itself. I hate that my employer has a history of hiring exclusively ISU grads for their engineers and they were giving me the shaft for a while because I didn’t go there.

I’ve never even set foot in Iowa. I’ve been to/through a lot of states, but Iowa is not one of them.

I suggest we take the discussion here. I think lots of wall postings and messages are in order.

that guy’s a total fooking tool…although he is nice enough to allow some big time losers to comment on his page.

Lots of former Iowans here. I went to Iowa’s other university… UNI Fight! UNI Fight!

grote, there’s a reason we all left Iowa. Lots of reasons, actually.

probably completely different from the reasons I left the hometown, but having driven through Iowa several times, I’m sure they’re no less valid.

I’ve never even BEEN to Iowa. That’s how cultured and better-than-you I am.

I’ve been through all the drive through states. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota…

I’m a TRANSPLANT and i need FRIENDS

Hmm… Actually, I usually don’t friend people who I don’t know, but whatever. I’m open to getting to know people.

If you really want to, my myspace address is here:
