Sometimes I miss Alycia a lot. When I hear Howie Day playing at work, when I make cookies late at night, when I watch old episodes of "The OC". She made this website about a year ago with clips of our old AIM conversations, and it's hilarious. Neither of us are on AIM as much anymore (hahahaha shut up, I'm not in the school year), but oh man, this was a golden age.

pirc182: i should feel so loved
ukgirl162: i know
ukgirl162: do you just feel creeped out?
pirc182: well, i kind of want some orange juice

pirc182: ill give you a call later
pirc182: don't do anything stupid like die, okay
ukgirl162: damn, that was my plan
ukgirl162: -eat some fries
ukgirl162: -go online
ukgirl162: -die
pirc182: i hate you

ukgirl162: what if i like...fall off it?
pirc182: hahahahah
ukgirl162: can that happen?
pirc182: no
ukgirl162: oh.
pirc182: there's wooden planks
ukgirl162: what if i fall into the tracks?
pirc182: you'd be burned
ukgirl162: i saw a law and order episode where that happened
ukgirl162: and those are based on real life

ukgirl162: remember "everything i ever knew i learned from AIM"?
pirc182: that was funny
ukgirl162: remember when ms melei was like "it sucks"
pirc182: that's because she didn't know what aim was, and because it wasn't about Jesus or the USA

Hahahahaha oh Alycia. Oh Ms Melei. Oh high school. I think I will go and eat some cookies and reminisce now.
