memory
I ran into one of my oldest and dearest internet friends today..
Every once in a while, I get the crazy urge to pop on IRC and check out one particular channel to see who's there.. and I couldn't believe it! He was there!
We've never met only spoken on the internet and the phone because he lives in Australia.. I can't believe we've been talking for 12 years. It's like, he's a particular part of my life.. he knows friends in Arizona.. hell he's met some of my friends that live in Nevada that I met on the same irc channels that came to meet some of us in Arizona.. it's all really strange. He knows my friend Chris that passed away this past spring.. and my mentor, Jay.. so it's like talking to a really old friend that you never met..
We've spent hours at a time talking on the phone about nothing. 6 hours of (free)phone conversation..
I remember one morning.. 11am.. I get this phonecall.. I answer the phone.. and I hear muffled techno in the background through kind of an echoy call.. and it was my friend Adam, Corey, Ivan and someone else calling me from a rave in Australia.. freaky shit.. Two of the guys I've already spoken to: Adam and Corey.. and I talked to one of the other guys but he was on acid and freaking out and couldn't talk/respond to me and had to hand the phone back to Adam because my "American accent" was really freaking him out.. The call was an expierence in itself.
