All Moving At The Speed Of Light
I was sorting through some papers in my "nostalgia" box in the study, and found a load of email correspondence between H and me from back in 1994, shortly before we became an item. Dear lord. (No, I'm not posting samples, although the subject matter was usually music or clubbing.) My email handle was COSMIC AVATAR, even then (back when "avatar" was a relatively unknown word - unless one had knowledge of Hinduism and/or X-Men comics - lo-o-o-o-ong before it became used to describe profile pics and online personae and whatnot and became as common as muck). People kept confusing it with "aviator", natch. (As they did on the WD when I first joined.)
We used to write in ALL CAPS (before netiquette advised otherwise), although H switched to proper case before I did. And I sounded like I was fucking high on drugs. This is because I probably was. I was drinking circa seven cans of Diet Coke a day (and smoking about seven cigarettes, funnily enough) to cope with the unbelievable stress and long hours which comprised my first job at C&W. If anyone ever finds these emails after I'm gone, they're going to think I was a total nutter. Er, yeah. Think.
