some other emotes/slang I remember was orz or OTL to show a person crouched on the ground in defeat or a lot of people would put /shot after saying things that they thought were stupid/silly and I definitely used to say rawr back in the day
ohhh my god i used /shot all the time LOL. thanks 4 reminding me
been a year since my last post! update: im on new medication and i tried to have a glass of wine, big mistake lol. so alas i am going alcohol free for the time being :'(
however, i am still going strong on having coffee everyday <3 BUT i am trying to limit my coffee intake too, lol, so after 1-2 cups i go for tea instead. sometimes earl grey, sometimes berry-flavored tea, sometimes green tea, and sometimes herbal! (chamomile+lavender usually). i still drink seltzer all the time but now sometimes i add a splash of grapefruit juice or berries :) after a while the berries tend to absorb some of the carbonation and make for a tasty snack at the end.. yom
ohhh putting together parties must be so fun!! once i was hired for this art "school" and on my first day i had to lead an all day stop-motion camp for a bunch of kids, it was fun sometimes but i had no training, was by myself with like 10 kids struggling to keep their attention so it was also kind of hell lol. the school was really shitty (everything about it was a huge red flag, illegal wage theft, poor conditions for the kids, the boss shit talked the employees) so i only stayed for 2 weeks lol.
i still have some of my old aim chats saved from 2006, it really reflects how 12 years olds talked on the internet :ppp i should dig it up when i have the time! i play an old mmo, furcadia, and i still see the occasional xD dropped unironically, which makes me very happy. one thing i noticed is the use of other emoticons that have died but are slowly making a comeback in some circles, like >3< or @_@ or >_> (i still use them because they convey a different feeling from emojis haha). a/s/l is another one i can think of! i remember going on aol chatrooms and pretending to be older than i was lolol
One thing I thought was interesting was when they were discussing how the easiest way for them to share these sites is via screenshots, but that they definitely do have the full sites archived somewhere. I know there are a few projects around dedicated to archiving them, but I wonder if they'd be willing to share their collection, just to add one more into the mix?
i voted coffee vanilla n cake batter but uuugh it's hard to choose becuz i love so many flavors! i have an ice cream machine so i like to make uncommon flavors at home :> not on this list that i also like: cookie butter/speculoos, honeydew melon, mango (topped with spice or li hing powder), raspberry cheesecake!
