I was reading my last post, before posting tonight, and thought of the things happening back then. I no longer speak to the girl I referred to working with then. I offended her, and though I'm sorry I did so, we have very differing views on some subjects, and obviously the friendship couldn't get past that, but I'm sorry it ended like that.
Everything else that's happened... well, conclusions to things you never heard the beginnings of. minor details. if anything's important I'm sure I'll flashback to it later. You understand, this is a quite non-linear blog?
night all.

Old AOL Memories...
Oh god, have we got to that point? I'm being nostalgic for my early days online...
ah well, it has to happen I suppose.
I'm looking for a person called 'Weezl'. I don't think that was their full screen name back then, it was SuperWeezl or LordWeezl or something. They had some sort of honorific. Did AOL award honorifics? I seem to remember talking to a few people with the same one, but maybe it was just a AOL clique.
I used to post on the AOL message boards (and I'm going to stop capitalising that because sheesh), mainly sharing terrible poetry, but also discussion TV shows (thats when I first found out what a spoiler was... when I accidentally gave away the series finale of both 'Friends' and 'Frasier' for someone...)
I remember a few screen names from back then, and it would be nice to hear from any of them... Nakoad, DrrNeil, Spunk1618... and there was someone who seemed to have a huger crush on Eric Idle, and at one point posted a rewritten version of the 'American Pie' lyrics, but all to do with parrots.
But I digress. Weezl, whoever they were, had a link to their homepage on their signature. I suspect the site has gone the way of lots of people's personal sites from the 90's... but I still remember it. It had a page called the 'Battersea Typo Demons Home', where people sent in their paint-rendered images of the critters that live in their computer and cause them to spell so terribly.
There was also a re-telling/summary of 'Titanic' that included a few references to 'Hornblower' that I didn't get (apparently the link was that 'Ioan Grufford looks gorgeous in both'). I found it hilarious and would really like to reread it.
That's all really. A silly bit of 90's fanfic that I still think about today. Even without watching Old-Rose drop the necklace with 'an annoying 'oops' sound'.
