computer files from the past
today I made a CD-R backup of all these floppy disks that I had from college, and through the end of the year I graduated from college. I have sort of been in denial that they exist and hadn't looked at them, ever. And I only opened one or two today.
It appears that as early as October 2000 (and probably earlier, but I did not open anything else) I was trying to figure out why so-and-so doesn't call. Different guy, same question. for maybe four years. Sometime last year I figured out the answer to that question, after that book He's Just Not That Into You came out (and the answer is NOT "he's just not that into you.").
But perhaps I'm delusional, and I think I know, but I totally don't. which is what I think whenever I read my past journal entries. Like that entry from Oct 2000. Apparently I used to talk to people on the subway. I was so crazy and distorted. And I didn't open the files, but there was one floppy disk where the files had been named after animals. squirrel, hummingbird, lemmings. What was I thinking? Other cryptic document names were newwords, bodylanguage, and mm.
I also learned that as early as fall junior year I had an avatar.
And I forgot at what period these were--I think sometime after I graduated? a set of documents named letterto___ (insert name of persons in blank). there were several of these, each to a different person.
