It’s so weird. I’ll just be going about my getting for bed ritual.
Like, taking some meds. Muting the tv and turning the captions on. Turning on the fan.
And suddenly the most random memory will hit me… like back in the early 2000’s when I used to stay up until 4am doing voice chat with some of the members of a WinMX chat room.
There were two dudes in particular who I was really close with. They were Canadians and roommates. Wow. I can’t recall what day of the week it is, but I remember their names were Shawn and Gary and I had the biggest crush on Gary. One night it was just us left in the voice chat, and I distinctly recall him saying my name and telling me to go to bed even though I was too excited to be alive to go to sleep (I didn’t have a social life at all back then).
Anyway, good times as I prayed the AOL free trial discs never stopped providing that magically slow dial-up. Can’t believe I’d wait 30+ minutes for the downloads of Missy Elliott songs.
