I've come a long way from Early Adopter Live Journal.
The internet has come a long was from Early Adopter Live Journal.
The internet has ... become.
The Harvey Burroughs was my first foray into the online world. Chat rooms, BBS, meeting people from colleges around the United States. Joining chapter by chapter story boards.

It was a friendly place. Back then.

My first anonymous friend on the internet was a boy named Hobbs. He was studying engineering and went to work for Lockheed Martin building planes and working at China Lake. I don't remember his irl name. We stayed in touch via snail mail after I graduated and got married, but it was weird so we stopped writing each other. I wonder if I still have the picture he sent me?

I wish we had stayed in touch.

I was also friends with a boy from Canada named Calvin.

Calvin and Hobbs.

I never knew his irl name.

I wonder if they remember me? I was Siobhan.

Sometimes I still am.

Long live the cosmic dixie cup.
