Geez. Pandora played a Blink 182 song, and I thought of a girl I chatted with online when I was 17. Her name was Anna, and she was, well, into Blink 182.
Good god, I haven’t thought about her in over 25 years.
We weren’t super-close, but you know how flirty kids are. Just made me realize that I have no way of contacting her even to say hi. Never got her last name. Maybe I could boot AIM and assuming the server remembers my contact list, I could leave a message? But eh, what’s the point.
Just kind of a sad feeling that there are people who cross our paths that we have NO way of contacting.
Us OD refugees know the feeling. And thus why we’re so tight-knit. Sure, most of us have cell phones, but if the internet were to disappear right now, most of us would lose a LOT. Gosh, maybe I should start collecting and writing down phone numbers…
After all, we thought Blockbuster and MySpace would last forever. Facebook is just another link in the chain of history.
