in the year 2000

Let's all meet up in the year 2000. Won't it be strange when we're fully grown?

i don't really remember much from 2000. i turned 18.

party's over whoops out of time

depression year

first year of uni. listened to a lot of house music.

i was 20

lived in north knoxville, what a nightmare. not too bad of a year though. stayed on my sister's couch for the entire summer, though. climbed The Chimneys!

I had to check something in my old yahoo mail and decided to see how long i'd had it for - since '98 - and though i remembering having to delete many msgs because back in the day mail capacity was small, i'd kept some key correspondence between some friends and more-than-friends, so i looked at some of it from around 99-01 and whoa, youth... it's strange yet good to have even a partial digital collection of it. i'd forgotten about some things too, of course.

it would seem that even though i had a good full-time job at 24-26, most of my time then was spent watching movies, listening to music, going to shows and writing multiple-paragraph emails to people, some irl friends, some email-friends, sometimes about movies and music, mostly about 'ideas.' i was clearly not feeling stressed about life, yet still feeling some nebulous anxiety. i also didn't realize how much people loved me or how smart i was. as far as being young goes, i think i was right on track tbh.
