In which I am Distressingly Aged

[serinde]

A conversation with the PFY, upon the sharing of this old Geocities ad:

Your humble correspondent: "Oh, Geocities. How I do not miss you."
PFY: "I had a Geocities web page once."
YHC: "I'm so sorry."
PFY: "Don't be. I was a little kid, it was right for me to have an awful web site."
YHC: *head go foom*

…you know, it took me a moment to realize why the last bit. (Even so, Wikipedia suggests that the rise of Geocities corresponds to my starting high school, and notwithstanding that I wasn't the most socially mature 9th grader out there, that's not quite “little kid”.)

I am... weirdly attracted to the boy on the right in that ad. /o\

I don't see nothin' weird about that...

It's only right and natural!

It's like finding grizzled tech support veterans who don't show PTSD at the sound of a modem connecting.

It's really only OK to remember it if you remember it as Geoatrocities. It makes more sense that way.
