Wow... I haven't thought about Geocities in a long time. I mostly remember the ads in the sidebar and how you had to click on the "x" on every page.

I also treated this girl like total crap and was a douche bag to her. Ha. Ha-ha!

I have no idea how old he thought I was or where I was from, but I'm sure he's figured it out. Said something about making a trip to NOLA... It would be interesting to meet him, he seems completely nuts. I've only met one LJ friend, and that's because she was in my brother's grade in elementary school and stopped by our Mardi Gras party.
