i, too, am extraordinarily drunk. like, very very drunk.
but i had a woman buy me some captain morrigan's today. thus far, no toast has been said aloud. i love that boy. loved him. i could care less what tense you use, he is the most wonderful, wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. to myself this evening i said, every drink is for you - every one, and every one was. and now, i'll mix myself a rum n' coke, do what i do every year, and go outside to toast the miracle that dayan is, was, am. whatever. i spoke the truth when i said i've never had a better time in my life than when i was with you.

thank you.

i was going to go to a hot hot heat concert to commemorate him, but my mom wont let me
i think i cried more when he died than anyone else. i wish we could have met.
we miss you dayan

Miss you, cockmonger.

still love you. you're always here with me anyway, but i do.

*sigh*

I was thinking about him on Friday, how he managed to look like an evil cherub. It was quite a trick.

Evil cherub with a glass eyeball. Which was for no purpose other than the joy of just owning one. And scare the bejesus out of WeeJ at the Brum meet, funny as hell, that was.

Blimey, was it really 5 years ago?! Doesn't seem like five minutes. I remember I was in this crappy little transport office somewhere in the Midlands when I got the call from a very distressed Porce to tell me about it. That was a hard conversation to have, and not aided by the fact that the office was literally crammed with very loud people on their phones. I ended up in the kitchen, trying to console her. Bad day.

Nice knowing ya, D-Man.

It was, amazingly enough. And yet, one thing remains constant. Jason > Kiefer

Edited by Candice to correct Lo's horrible error: Saw THAT one coming.

I know I'm predictable

Uh huh. Saw THAT one coming, too.

How about that one?

Yup!

now?

I had my suspicions. Do you think we'll ever get tired of this? Also, do you think I look like a crazy person to people who don't know the backstory?
Kiefer < Jason
quite possibly

Oh well, that is a sacrifice I will just have to make. I am not giving up, because WE ARE RIGHT.

nahhh I'm right, I have a sig pic that says so. lol

Even the kittens in your sig know you are wrong. That is why their faces are all scrunched up!

Edited by Leo: You two are bonkers.

Maybe so, but don't think I didn't notice that > sign flipped around, mister!

Actually I flipped the sign around....and I'm disappointed in your for not noticing the hidden Kiefer > Jason in here, that you've missed like 5 times now!

Oh and Leo, there is a Dayan related reason for doing this.

Oh, you are truly devious!

I know I know.

Did you think I had forgotten about the editting?

Yikes! This thing was incorrect for two years! Dayan and I are still RIGHT.

After so much time has passed and so many things have changed, you still cross my mind and i think of you we miss you

Just so I know, what happened to the memorial site? It appears to have disappeared...

I don't know what happened....I didn't close that account. When I get off from work today I'll check into that or rehost it elsewhere.

I was watching Donnie Darko and Dayan crossed my mind a fair few times. And then something occurred to me. Donnie Darko was released in 2001, but the closing theme - "Mad World" by Gary Jules - wasn't a hit record until 2003. The song played out just as Donnie was in his dying moments. And I considered how prophetic it was that the song itself was being released around the same time as our D-Man's passing.

And the further thought then occurred that it is extremely likely that The Darkness could owe their success entirely to the D.

And it then occurred to me that perhaps all the rain is because he's badgered someone into attempting to drown Rihanna... but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

The rain is Dayan sitting on a cloud, peeing on Rihanna's head.

I'm not sure why but the link on the page was set to an old web site where the family album was hosted. I thought I had it at it's current location since I put it up, but apparently not. Anyway, links fixed, go listen to Chinga and smile.

Ahh, the anthem of the old iRC crowd. Never fails to make me chuckle in a nostalgic fashion whenever I listen to it, which is often. Good old 'Pig Latin'.

Stupid glass eye in my drink!

My heavens, it's a WeeJ! How do Jen, long time no see!

Some things have changed, but never my missing D...

On the basis that I won't be here between now and the 22nd, I'm going to add my message a tad early...

Miss you, D-Man.

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago: I'm now twice the age that Dayan was when he died. Twice the lifetime... That's a strange thing to think of. It feels to me like pretty much everything important in my life has happened in the last sixteen years. How dark and strange for his life to have ended at the age that I feel mine really had only begun.

Gone, but not forgotten, or too far in the past to be ridiculed a bit. The silly bugger.

Let's see, I'll just throw in a couple of I miss you catch phrases here.

Kiefer > Jason ..... and since Cand's not a mod she can't edit this post.

Glassjaw fucking sucks.

I always find it rather interesting that the songs that make me think of Dayan seem to come up on my iPod and on the radio this time of year. Well even if they don't today I'll have to pull out some Pixies or the Smiths.

Here's to absent friends.

I have very similar thoughts at times. Especially at this time of year, of course.

Six years. My goodness. Oh, and Lo darling, Kiefer < Jason. Dayan and I are still RIGHT.

I'll admit it; the Pixies ARE better.

Definitely not forgotten

Now that makes me feel like an old bugger... I was twice his age when he was still alive

And now I stop to think about it, in the six years since he passed, my life has changed completely. Not suggesting that they are related in any way (highly unlikely, as the changes started happening before the meet in Birmingham) but it's funny how time flies, how things change and so on, and I can't help thinking how his life could've been so very different now too.

Life does change so quickly and sometime it is just a case of hanging on in there. But I think it's good that people still remeber him and it gives them fond memories.

and of course me and Lo are right Kiefer > Jason

I missed the actual day but the sentiment is still there. I have lost too many people recently and it's so sad. RIP Dayan and everyone else I have ever loved and lost

Holy crap. It's weird to think that Debs would have been 23 today. Really? wow

It's been six years since he died. He would have left uinversity by now... And now he would be joining us all on the march to bitterness and cyncism that is called normal life

and i could hopefully have told him to go to French even though he doesn't want to during ungodly hours of the morning.

Kiefer > Jason.

<3 Miss you buddy.

Do you think he would have given me a slap because I was playing Rock Band 3 by myself (while quite drunk) a couple of weeks ago and Debaser came on and I started crying? He probably would. I'm such a wuss sometimes.

Silly bugger.

Heh. You can join my emotional wuss club. You get props for listening, though. I still can't.

Missy!

*glomps*

/spam

this really made me want to hug you. :<

You know, I can't remember which Jason is (apparently) inferior to Keifer,

the really, really lame one

So lame he doesn't have a surname?

Jason Patric

two first names, like a total loser.

Oo, Jason Patric, he's awesome

can i have a ban button please?

Miss you debaser. It's so awful that your life was cut so short. Thinking back to how many years I have been a member of this site and how much my life has changed in those years, it's truly shocking to imagine that Dayan is missing out on so many things today. How old would he be now? 24? It's unbelievable, there is no greater tragedy than a young life cut short. Life is full of ups and downs but is all around beautiful, I wish you were here to share it with us today Dayan.

Where's my postcard, bitch!?




...too soon?

Definitely not forgotten, and I've had one of those happy/sad days making sure I appreciate this life.

Silly, silly bugger.

i had something else written up that was too sad/emotional to post, so i'll just say this - i'm glad everyone else on here is alive and safe, because you guys are closer to me than anyone else. thanks for being around to grieve on this day with me.

Y'know, I still don't know what's in a "Cockbasket"! Other than gin of course...

Pepsi Max.

I have, on occasion, had a Pepsi Max and called it a virgin cockbasket.

...can we say cockbasket on the forums?

It would be wrong not to discuss cockbaskets on the forums.

I rather like 'virgin cockbasket'
