So my hotmail got up to 9999 emails a while back. I decided to make it a project, everytime I checked my email while bored at work I would sit and delete emails for a few minutes. The vast majority of it all is junk mail, old annoying listserve group emails from my college groups I CANNOT FUCKING unsubscribe too, or other unimportant stuff. The only thing I really use that email for is to read board or facebook replies to me since I dont want facebook or RP sites to show up on my internet report at work*L*
So anyway, it takes a looooong time to delete that many emails one by one. But it was kind of fascinating after a while. Once I got back into 2009 I started to see stuff Id forgotten all about.
I had a whole bunch of emails from Marina/Alera/Beth when she and I would email back and forth when bored at our offices. That made me sad, I miss her a ton, she was just the bestest.
Andall kinds of emails of LJ responses. Micheal and I apparently had all kinds of things to say to each other during the 2008 election, which was surprising as Ive never really thought of Micheal as someone I've ever talked to much (not that I have anything against him, just different crowds n such)
And of course much discourse with the lovely and talented Herzleid/Cerise, Matron Saint and Mascot of LJ. Hehe
And people I havent talked to in years now. It was interesting. These kinds of sites (And diaries before them) exist to be read again years later. That whole "the unexamined life is not worth living" deal I guess.
So....Hey LJ! For future historians, I didnt just suddenly die in 2009 or something. It was just the year this other thing called facebook gave me free video games, hehe
