Where did this girl come from?!

Oh my God...

Here I was thinking that she might be not quite as nerdy as she'd need to be to handle me. But then tonight she drops this bombshell on me:
A: i wanted to ask you
A: did you ever bbs??
deus_x: Like chat & stuff on a BBS?
A: well you know, just bbs
A: like chat, and message/download etc etc
A: Lord and bre?
deus_x: Oh my god, you know what LORD and BRE are? hehehe Yeah, I used to do that
A: yes yes i had a mad obsession for LORD
deus_x: No way! haha!
A: i did ever so love frequenting the inn
So then, I'm thinking.... holy crap. She used to hang out on BBSes. That's damn impressive. Not just because she's a girl or anything, but just because I've met so few people with decent personal hygene out here in the real world who once frequented BBSes.

But wait, there's more!
A: I loved to bbs. I even ran my own for a while, it was so much fun
deus_x: Wow, you ran your own too?! See, just being on a bbs is impressive enough, that's even better! hehe
Be still my heart.

No, really.

Wow. *impressed*

I'd forgotten all about LORD. That game kicked ass! Wow. It's been forever and a day, man.

Wow, awesome find! So at least one of those other females in LORD really were females. Amazing! ;)

Dude. The last of a dying breed. Snag her quick.


And if she has all her old bbs text files still on a disk somewhere... MARRY HER. ;D

i bbs'ed too. & used to bathe obsessively till i was 'dopted by hippies. i was pretty fucking mean on the bbs's, looking back maybe i was envious b/c gaming doesn't compute but oh god i'd writhe in ecstasy through many a flamewar. i met one of my ex's (also on LJ it turns out) after months of our ripping each other new assholes then i dunno what happened, we ended up getting along, i think he slipped me wierd drugs that dulled my mean wits

you too eh? I had that happen a few times.. made a lot of friends that way, not just S/O's.. one of those people I still call my brother today.

The BBS culture of the 80's and early 90's was deffinitley a grand social experiment.

(And I likened myself the flamewar scourge of the 810 for a time. ;D)
