Remember searching for the *perfect* buddy icon that prefectly represented your soul? Remember formatting those Stroke-9 lyrics just right so that maybe that cute girl in American History would comment on your font & color scheme? GBS remembers....

I had a million AIM screen names, but I had one called "NinenInchNails" (notice the extra n) and everyone would message me "OMG ARE YOU TRENT REZNER?!" and I pretended I was, and it made me feel whole.

When I learned the %n hotkey I used it to set a fake away message where you'd read it and think that my message was a chat convo where you were coming out of the closet it to me. A lot of people bought it. Once I got home my parents grounded me because apparently my aunt was friends with me on AIM and locked herself in her room crying. lol

i used to have trillian cause it saved chatlogs by default and used it to connect to IRC. it also had tabbed windows, it was very ahead of its time. the only time i ever used the chatlogs was to throw it in my friends faces when they would contradict themselves at a later date

I deleted it without hesitating.
