Just here to report that I've put the 18th Jan 2019 into my calendar, in case this happens again. Hope to see some of you guys then!

THEY ARE ADORABLE AND THE SWEETEST THINGS EVER. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN UPDATE ON THE TINY HUMANS, who must now be 18 months or so?

I suppose the cruelty in having grown up in such an amazing place like this is that it may take over a year for you to find out that an old friend is gone. According to the obituary, your anniversary was exactly a week ago, and I am so, so sorry to find out you're gone. I just don't even have words tonight.

The other day I was catching a train home and ended up talking to this girl. We hit it off (I'm actively recruiting friends in the London region, btw), and so I asked for details. The conversation went thusly:    Me: So do you have facebook? I can add you! Her: No, I don't really use it...I'm one of those people.  Me: Oh okay, what about a phone number?  Her: I do have a number! But I only have an old-school Nokia and I don't really use it. Do you have twitter?  Me: Shit, I don't have one sorry. Instagram? Her: No, phone doesn't take photos so no real use f

I am SO GLAD that I did not try to log on when it was down. Last time I was on the site I cried from nostalgia -- what if I'd thought it was down for good? I would have been inconsolable! 

We lament a lot about the 'pace' of the world and how everything is speeding up with e-mails and texts and twitter, and so on. And I'm a staunch defender of modern technology; it lets me speak to my family halfway around the world, let me carry on a long-distance relationship for a couple of months with as little disruption as possible, and lets me find ways to put my thoughts into actions as quickly as I have thoughts.    Having said that, though, I am starting to come around to the idea that Google killed conversation. When was the last time that you had a discussion, an argument

I've never heard of Reading Rainbow and while I could probably google it, I'd rather hear from those who have experienced it; what was it? What did you enjoy about it - why did you enjoy it? How long was it on the air for? 

I would love to cameo but I literally started a new job today - and since it's a fancy, high-power role with a FTSE100 company, I don't know how much time I will have on a realistic scale! But I would at least like to drive-by! 

Aaaaah....my boyfriend and some of his friends run a Steam community with around 200 members so our server is open to anyone but preference is for members of the community. :)    I've just gotten back into Pokemon and it is awesome. I bought a second hand DS specifically to play it (and pokemon black), and now I really want to get FireRed and HeartGold just to replay the games I grew up with.

My friends and I actually run a minecraft server which is pretty fun. It's at mc.thebohage.com (when you need to provide a server to log into). Maybe I'll see you around! 

I'm never here anymore but suddenly wanted to come for a visit and started reading this thread. I know it's silly since everyone moved on like me, but the idea of losing all the connections I had on here just sort of makes me want to cry. You guys were my childhood. And it was a good one.    If anyone does have facebook and wants to add me, send me a message. I'd love you add you guys. :)
