Time Flies

[ithildin]

Just realized it's sort of my internet anniversary. I got online in October of 1995, and over the next year, became friends with wonderful women like lilliew, havocthecat, and, in her own special category, ninjababe. We 'met' in 1996, and that summer, she traveled cross-country, moving in with us a few weeks later. Fourteen years and counting, we're still living together. How the heck did that happen? Life, it is strange!

Here's to friends, both old and new, and all those in between [g]

*raises a toast* I've met some wonderful friends through the internet. You and ninjababe are both very remarkable women.

Happy anniversary! I started not long after you, in early 1996. It feels like such a long time ago.

Holy cow! I feel old now :( I remember encouraging ninjababe to head out there and stay.

Here's back at ya, with hugs!

I'll have to see if I have any old IRC logs around on my old computer (if it will boot, or I can hack my old files off its disk drive, hmmm).

Wow! I'm amazed that you remembered when you joined the internet. I don't even remember when I did!

I bow to your awesome memory and send congrats on your anniversary!

Congrats with the anniversary, and it's sure impressive!

(If I remember correctly, I've seen the Internet for the first time only in 1997, in University during the competition in Math...)

Wow, you're right. It's been 15 years! I was just thinking of SKL the other day, trying to remember the various places my fannish roots are.

Happy anniversary to you! I have met many, many wonderful people through the net, a special one in particular.

I don't remember the exact time I hopped on the internet and started chatting with people, but I will never forget December 14, 1997 (or December 15th, depending on which side of the pond you happened to be on). That's the night I met the Welshman and we chatted for the first time. In three weeks, we'll celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. We were online dating before all the cool kids started doing it. ;)

Hear, hear!

I'm a late-comer, didn't get online until 98, found my first fandom (Forever Knight) shortly thereafter, and the rest is history.

Cheers!

I would be lost without my wonderful friends!

A little late, but Happy Anniversary. Clearly the event had a major impact on your life and a it looks to be a good one (well most of the time at least were Nin is concerned). Hope you enjoyed it and the next 15 years bring even better goodness to you.
