I miss the early 2000s

[Raistlin]

I don't really miss the late '90s/early 2000s from a personal life perspective, but I do kinda miss the gaming and internet life. I would stay up late playing Ultima Online, be talking to 6+ people at any given time on AIM or ICQ (I still remember my number: 63664743), and there were 80,000 small video game message boards appearing every second -- and that and AIM/ICQ were the only ways you could keep up with friends.

I miss when flash animation first became a thing and my first year of college.

I can't possibly be the only person who had people on their AIM list just to see what they came up with for away messages.

I miss everything I played, saw, read, or did in the early 2000s for the first time. Because the first time is the best time.

When I was showering this morning I found a grey pube.

It's alright, Cuch; a lot of people like their men sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. I know I do.

Ack you've a good heart my good man. You've left with hope and a semi

Actually the more I think about it the more I do want to return to the early 2000s just so I can redo my entire college career cause I really messed that one up.

Actually the more I think about it the more I do want to return to the early 2000s just so I can post at The Sacred Realm again.

I agree!

I'm fairly reminiscent most of the time. Even things from a year, even months ago. I think it's just easier for most individuals to reminisce then to make new memories, because a lot of things aren't really as fun until you're looking back on it. Eventually everyone'll say, "HEEEEY remember back in 2012 when they announced Lightning Returns and EVERYBODY was excited?!".....

No? ..... nobody?

IDK, I can relate. I've been in this mood for two or three days now.

I can't possibly be the only person who had people on their AIM list just to see what they came up with for away messages.

I had the worst smurfing AIM away messages. Michelle Branch lyrics and crap. Nothing to do with actually being away, just horrible, horrible lyrics.

At least you acknowledge it. Mine was usually "ragnarok online" a good 90% of the time.
