How Are You?

how are you?

and normally, while posting on the old board, how are you?

are you normally high as a kite with a broken string? or do you post from work, as sober as an astronaut without a regular shuttle?

if you are normally a sleep derpived wreck, posting like i often do in the small hours, do you ever bust that mold?


does everyone have a default setting and a most common secondary (hell maybe even tertiary) setting for their posting state?


i am personally usually sober, caffeinated, and ever so slightly tired.
this would be followed by the frequent stoned posting, of which there may soon be more, and the far rarer drunken posting.

I'm good thanks.

Usually I post at work caffeined to the nines but also tried. Oddly, I tend to want to read and post more when I'm very busy, which I think is some sort of procrastination mechanism.

Have posted drunk and am always a bit cringy in the morning.
Tried posting stoned but I find everything far too complicated when this happens.

It's friday, it's payday, the sun is shining, the pubs are open my lover is taking me out for a `surprise' tonight, and all is good in my world.

So I guess it's not so much what's in your veins but what you're doing around the same time as posting (which admittedly might amount to the same thing!!)

I'm usually posting from work. Naughty.

Sometimes I post while drunk late at night, but I tend to be a horrendous flirt and am best avoided.

From work, when bored, usually slightly depressed.

Have tried posting late at night and wrecked - it never works for me. I can do chatrooms in that state, but the bb format requires too much thought...

I'm feeling glad its Friday, and ever so slightly worried that I seem to want to wish large portions of my life forward to the next bit.

I post from work too normally. Bigwig consultant caught me today. Eek!

Just been given a diet coke. I NEVER drink coke, but I drank that one. Feel a bit sick now. Usually a coffee man. Strangely, when trying to be caffine conscious have tried green tea, but found that this winds me up something awful - feel like I'm on speed or summat.

Not really drunk or wrecked these days. Whats happening to me?

Sax, flirtation is fun, surely.

Not the way I do it. Ask Ariadne or Persephone. Or Ganesh.

Okay then. Permission has been given. What do you three have to say on the subject?

i usually post at work, sometimes caffeinated, almost always nonplussed (i *am* at work, after all). i post when i have nothing to do, and also when i have lots to do.
very rarely do i post from home.

You usually get either Insomniac Mordant (See her gibber! See her twitch!) or Braindead From Crap Job Mordant (comes with extra drool). Currently you are watching me in glorious Caffine-o-vision. The most messed up I've ever been whilst posting was the now-notorious fit thread.

I try not to post when I'm completely pissed, although it may be hard for y'all to tell sometimes.

I'm ill, right now, and actually getting really bothered by it, because it doesn't show any signs of letting up and it's nothing I can pinpoint, like flu or something.

In general, my onboard life is almost never coloured by my substance choices per se (because I don't drink or do drugs), though occasionally it may be affected by medication or lack thereof. Bipolar affects my posting style/s, however...

I post from home (because I do not have a job), when bored, inspired, or moved/annoyed by something on the board.

do you think there is any merit to the idea of suits for states?

like a toksik(drunk), a toksik(stoned) and a toksik(sober) suit?

Myself, well, since my reappearance in the community I have posted exclusively from home (used to post a bit from the uni last year). I think that this is why some of my posts tend to be lengthy: I can read a thread, have time to think carefully about what’s been said, start writing a response, leave the computer to go do other things, come back, write some more, etc.. In general I am either sober, on a bit of a caffeine buzz (though never really excessively—long gone are the high school daze of drinking eight to twelve cups of joe a day), high on pot, and typically hungry. I don't think I've ever been here while drunk, but I really don't drink very often! My times of being “on board” are generally shortly after I get up or else after midnight.

toksik - don't really see the point of mulitiple suits. In the actual world, you occasionally have to apologise to your friends for action taken when stoned, drunk or very cheerful indeed - Barbelith seems about the same.

It's part of the joy of it - 3-dimensional personae. For example, right now I could just eat you all up. Eat you, I tell you. You are all so lovely. That's how much I love every lovely one of you. Hmmmmm....eaty love. Oh yes.

I usually post while in love, or in a really worn out mood. Mostly really late at night, u.s.time, and it annoys me when i see no one has posted anything for the 2 hours or so online. Right now I just made a dangerous trip from work, it's storming outside and my wipers don't work. But it's about 8:30 pm here, so I'm gonna try to find a pretty girl to hang out with.
