I miss the early 2000s

I guess October of 2000 wasn't so bad.

Were you celebrating my tenth birthday too, tuh? That's really nice of you, man.

I can't possibly be the only person who had people on their AIM list just to see what they came up with for away messages.

I had the worst smurfing AIM away messages. Michelle Branch lyrics and crap. Nothing to do with actually being away, just horrible, horrible lyrics.

I was here and you were not, now you are here and I am not.



...yeah.

I miss being able to endlessly play video games and be on the Internet all day.

No. This was a rough time for me personally since I was heavily bullied at Middle School. So yeah, I can't feel the same about this.

ahahahaha. Michelle Branch. Could've been worse, though; I used a lot of Linkin Park and Blink-182 at the time. (Back when LP was THE angsty teen rock band, before they just became smurfing lame)

I miss being able to endlessly play video games and be on the Internet all day.

Meeee too. I play a lot of games on my phone these days. Getting a solid, uninterrupted hour for a proper game is like a godsend anymore.

Actually it was the same for me. Internet and gaming functioned for me as support networks and coping strategies. My nostalgia comes from how good it felt to be surrounded with stuff that made me feel like I wasn't an outcast and that I wasn't such a weirdo compared to how I was at school. I miss the escapism.

Also I'm glad I was able to sufficiently bum a lot of you out. GLAD GLAD GLAD.

^ I couldn't do the same since Mum said that I was too young for the Internet. And everything I liked and enjoyed was ripped upon. My FF VII walk-through guide that I brought to school to read was grabbed, ripped and spat on- on several pages. Somebody threatened to come into my house and damage my PlayStation games and PlayStation after school and when I was speaking about Harry Potter to a stranger- a classmate grabbed me and threw me into the mud.

I would of assumed that people on the net would of attacked me as well.

Sorry for turning this into a emo thread.

No worries. That really sucks

The nostalgia is hitting me like a tonne of bricks.

I was still in high school, living in Oklahoma, Bush was president, and you couldn't go through a single day without hearing people screaming "TERROR TERROR MUSLIMS OSAMA BIN LADEN POST 9/11 WORLD!"

Nope, can't say I miss those days.

I do miss the late 90s that immediately preceded them though. ;__;

I do not miss being a child. I like the responsibility and the control that comes with the life of an adult. I was already a child once, so I don't feel the need to relive or repeat the experience again.
