dammit, we could listen to these awesome 30 second clips of the upcoming Vines album, but this computer doesn't have the Real suite of tools installed!

Remember the feeling that you couldn't go on internet unless you were a "cyberpunk"??

On a related note, everyone I know who did raves stayed off the internet!

winamp - it really whips the llama's ass! i was making really bad ok computer skins and posting them on Green Plastic.

Z S, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:30 (twelve years ago) link

mine were Sean Lennon but I was on fake plastic (no?) looking up Radiohead lyrics, I assure you
actually met most of my first internet friends on a RH chat room. a BeSeen chat room.

lol Andrew!

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:41 (twelve years ago) link

Andrew was short! He said he'd buy us cigarettes.. that's what gets two 16 year olds out to the east end of Toronto at 2AM.

full circle to ILX
***I designed ENBB's diaryland account, this is why we are such buds!!***

x-post

I know we've mentioned this on other threads but FFM actually designed my Diaryland page when she was like 15 or something. lol. We were friends on there for a years but eventually we both stopped using that site. FF about 10 years and she posts a picture on WDYLL and all of a sudden it just clicked and I was like woah Toronto, that pic - OMG that's Alexis!

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:43 (twelve years ago) link

I webmailed her and was like "Uh, this prob sounds nuts and I'm fairly certain you won't remember me but . . .".

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

Anytime I feel like feeling old, I go see how old Ms. Smartypants' little girl is these days.

pplains, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

OMG FFM that was 12 years ago!!!

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link

hahahahahahaha. I was so happy when you webmailed me!

I just did some googling of our combined usernames and you had an idea to open a clothing store & I was going to design the site and we should probably do that!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link

TWELVE YEARS?
oh Lord. Amazing. Happy 12th baby! <3

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

Wait - really? I wanted to open a store?? Funny. That was probably when I had a PT job in one, actually. We should!

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

Holy cow - the whole thing is still up? That's nuts. I don't think I realized that!!

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link

HAha, yeah! I found mine a few months ago and had a field day reading through the old entries. Then I locked it 0_0 Your username is safe with me! Sad the design didn't survive, haha.

found this in the course of my internet nostalgizing:

Name: Sean Lennon
Comments: I just wanted to say hi! Thanks for making this web page. I'm
very flattered. You know the picture to the left of list?
Well If you don't mind changing it, I hate that
picture...thanks.

love,

Sean

p.s. I'm working on writing new songs now...hope you'll like

There are usenet posts from the mid-90s where I'm talking about magic the gathering I think

how mortifying

mh, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link

dude, a significant portion of my friends still play magic - be happy it's just in your past!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:52 (twelve years ago) link

LOL

Oh my God I was so young and angsty and annoying lol.

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link

I actually went through a phase where I purged or just gave away a lot of stuff that I now kind of wish I had. Fleeting impulses, I guess.

mh, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link

hahahaha, E, I know what you'll be doing all day! ;D

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:57 (twelve years ago) link

Are you kidding me? I'm gonna read this whole damn thing start to finish. This is hysterical.

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link

i was making really bad ok computer skins and posting them on Green Plastic.

i may have used one of these at some point! iirc i couldn't work out where any of the buttons were so reverted to my awesome legend of zelda: a link to the past skin.

E - U/P for mine is lex/lex - a glorious snippet when I was still hanging onto a pseudonym:

Well, Adelaide has to go to school now. She'll try to seduce her teacher for the umpteenth time, and come home and complain about it being unsuccessful. Bye!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link

Wait- what's U/P??

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link

lol nm - I'm in! :)

ENBB, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:26 (twelve years ago) link

Not much, what's U/P with you?

(Jokes nostalgia!)

winamp - it really whips the llama's ass!

I still use Winamp and installed it on a new comp yesterday and it still uses that DJ Mike Llama thing when you first load it.

I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:34 (twelve years ago) link

I still have fond memories of "Cliff Yablonski hates you", the Jeff K website, and all the Newgrounds.com celebrity assassinations, but I suspect I'd find them all very unfunny if I looked at them again...

listening to belle & sebastian last night and the line 'boo to the business world!' triggered some early message board nostalgia

was anyone else on dc++ back in the day?

tanuki, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago) link

is that actually old enough to count as "back in the day"? :)

I spent the entire summer of 1996 playing Quake and talking on irc
