My first real relationship started on AIM and Yahoo Messenger. I mean.. I knew her in person... we were in high school, but that's where we did all of our chatting (as I didn't really have a cell phone for texting at first.)
AIM also holds a (bad?) memory with me regarding my dad's death. My cousin (who was much older than me) and I used to chat on AIM a lot in the mornings.. especially during the times I wasn't physically in "school". We'd usually chat and debate about shit we read in our local newspaper online, and one morning we were talking about an unnamed motorcyclist killed accident that we had read about. After like half an hour she goes quiet. I figured her boss (Aka her dad
) got on her ass... but then i get a call from her informing me that the accident we were talking about was my Dad.
I don't mean to go into a depressing poor me rant, but that just shows all the memories I have with AIM. It was a bigger part of my life than I realized.
I feel like I need to log into my AIM account #OneLastTime
