Drove the other students that used the lab to goof off insane.
You made serious missteps with screen names:
I had several embarrassing stories.
I had moved to California from Texas when I was 14.
I had created the screen name TtoThaX.
I had gotten sick of that particular reaction so much that I was in desperate need of change.
I do miss the individuality that we could show with a screen name.
Im turning 38 in a few weeks, and I STILL remember how much a laughed at that.
Ive had to take typing test for jobs at which they were impressed with my speed/accuracy.
I mostly have my many hours on AIM to thank for that.
Beyond that, my away message and whatnot was usually some lyric because of course it was.
Most likely 3rd Eye Blind or Savage Garden.
Abunchof youfound love:
AIM is the reason Im married to my husband.
=P and promptly signed off.
My world was spinning and I loved it.
I asked her to be my girlfriend in 8th grade, and she said no.
I asked her to be my girlfriend in 9th grade, and she said no.
But it didnt stop us from talking most nights over the infallible AIM, filled with flirting and intimacy.
We started dating the summer before junior year.
The beautiful, first-love relationship.
Voted class couple, went to Clemson together, left using AIM and went to G-Chat.
We got married, adopted the most adorable black lab, life was looking great.
Now were divorced, and AIM is shutting down.
The rest of it was up to the AI.
I came home one night to a long drawn out argument in which the bot won.
I actually helped this guy though, and feel good about it.
I religiously stalked a friends profile to see what I am getting for Xmas.
Great to be a teen again.
Memory 2, how long people can stay on AIM without logging out.
Yougeeked outin role playing rooms:
So many memories from the role playing rooms.
The place was like the nexus of existence where anyone or anything could show up.
2d20 or GTFO) was when anime began invading.
That and the realization of how many people were really just looking for cyber sex.
And finally,you asked the tough questions:
A/S/L?
