Gaear started a thread (The Relationship Rant Thread) that was hot and heavy all through December 2008 (and beyond). I particularly remember this thread because some of us were w/o dates or partners etc and spent New Year's Eve in front of our computers. Out of curiosity, I wonder how many of those posting that night are doing the same this evening?
One of the reasons that particular thread is so nostalgic for me, is that it was the first time I ever shared much about myself (via my opinions) online. And except for 2 people, that's how it has remained. In some ways, I came alive on Co8. I haven't posted much in a long time. I don't know if that will reverse itself. But Co8 will always have a special meaning for me. And so, here I sit, playing a war game I am caught up in, thinking it's an anniversary of sorts, wondering.
Happy New Year, Your Highness! I was playing an online game, jumping to FB and texting on the phone with someone from school who was drinking wine and playing a different online game. The phone texting died down around 1 am. The FB'ing died down around 3 am as it was Guardian Angels in California and Oregon. I stayed cold sober and had (have) some sort of sinus infection. Hence I'm back out of bed again.
You nerdy guy, you I found out I can't play the war game when I listen to mood music. I can't focus. So I wrote instead. And stayed sober. Hope the sinus condition is better. No one I know who texts me stays up that late, so no texting for me...and not a lot of chatting either. Glad to hear from you
You didn't try the 'beat infection by drinking overproof rum' theory? The idea is the alcohol kills the germs (I've never known it to work, but there's always a first time...)
