dusty survey from an almost-forgotten time
madly looking through my emails for the Jhunalyn files, i came across some fairly interesting messages. my personal email with Yahoo has been in existence since 1998 and it's apparently holding some of the weirdest correspondences i had in my life.
the one i copied and pasted below is one of the surveys i passed on. remember, we had no Friendster Bulletins back in those days and surveys were passed around the normal way.. through email. looking at my answers now, i realize that I NEVER MADE MUCH SENSE. haha.

OK, this is what you need to do. Copy this entire e-mail and change all the answers
so they apply to you. Then send it to your friends, INCLUDING the person who sent you
this. So you should get back a lot of other get-to-know-you e-mails!
You'll learn a lot about your friends that you maybe didn't know! (ows talaguh?!)
