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

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:

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!

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.

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!

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 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...

I still have one, but I have a different one now and its private entries for my eyeballs only

all the Newgrounds.com celebrity assassinations
The Arnold Schwarzenegger one is pretty good - he's dressed as a ballerina dancing around on a bandstand, and the 'you win' message is 'GOOD JOB SICKO!'.

Also I remember the first time a colleague showed me Mr. T Ate My Balls!. He thought it was the apex of comedy.

I remember seeing the "All Your Base" photoshops and not thinking it could possibly be fake, like I didn't think you could actually use photoshop to create something that real-looking (also I was like 13 at the time)

I have a 5 digit ICQ # as well! Fuck if I can remember what it is anymore though :( It'd be set up on one of my old laptops I spose.
Also have had a livejournal since 2000, and before that was running a literary journal type blog on my own website in 98-99, before the word "blog" ever existed.

I have zero internet nostalgia. Days-worth of time c. 1993 was spent staring at the Netscape logo, waiting for the page (with images turned off) to load.
I do miss BBSing though, I miss trading MP2s, having a 80-character e-mail address, and watching ANSI animations made with thedraw.exe
