CHAT WITH ME
Typing in here will pop up a window on my screen. Don't take it personally if I don't reply - I'm not around the computer all the time. I expect to regret putting this here and I'll probably end up taking it down soon.

Geez, what a day…worked for an hour or so in the morning. Then drove to Portland to meet D for lunch, a 70 minute drive of listening to Podcasts. It ended up being a lunch with a total of 7 people there at some fancy restaurant. After that D and I walked to Powell’s Books for awhile, back to his room, to some office building where he left his backpack, to another dinner at an even fancier restaurant and finally to see the movie World’s Fastest Indian. Before I knew it, it was 10:00pm so I headed back home. It’s 11:45 now and I’m ready for bed. Had fun seeing D, though.

Last night I spent over an hour on myspace.com, putting in random names of family members, old friends, old classmates, people from my old church, random people from school, etc, and finding nobody. But then, near the end, I did find Eric. I wrote him an email and I just now noticed that he responded…

Hi Eric. I’ve just spent the past hour of my life inputting just about every name that I’ve ever known from my past into Myspace, just to search for people out of boredom. Not one single member of my extensive family has a Myspace. None of my good friends from high school do either. Nobody from my old church comes up. Apparently not even my old enemies use Myspace. Finally I decided to try your name and there you were. You were approximately ..103 on my list of names to try out.

And the sad part is that I bet you don’t even remember me. I’m the guy that corrupted your childhood with CB harassment, strings across the road, prank phone calls, etc. I guess I don’t really have much to say. Just hello! And now I’m off…on my quest to keep typing random old names into Myspace until I fall asleep.

Subject: Holy Crap?!

Actually I do remember very well. I remeber putting random electronics on a stolen shopping cart and having you and John S. pushing me up and down the alley. I remember throwing gumballs out of a certain neighbors tree at random people. Sure I remember you. In a wierd twist of fate, I bet you will be surprised to know that the old record player cabinet system that you used to have in your old bedroom is now a stand for my projector in my living room. My parents gave it to me a few months ago and I am trying to restore it. So what have you been up to?

Eric

So that’s sorta interesting for me. I’d completely forgotten about the things he mentioned but remember them vividly now. I’ll have to swap some more stories with him. And I have plenty more.
