bone in sub

i obviously hadn’t thought about it at all since sending it but three years ago, on nov. 13th 2005, i sent an ‘email time capsule’ through forbes.com. as soon as i got it, i immediately remember where i was, what i was wearing, and the weather outside when i sent it.

here are some excerpts:

broke your collarbone and didn’t practice
tonight you were avoiding studying for your first psychology 100 term test
reading as many zeppelin books as you can get your hands on and listening to more zeppelin than everything else combined.
you liked “working for the weekend”.
busted for downloading photoshop.
you and your roommate ryan roll oranges down the second floor hallway of margaret addison
your family has stopped supporting you indefinitely because of your choice in women. you have 50 dollars in your wallet and 13.84 in the bank.

it’s like 4 times longer than that, but a bunch of it was some nonsense about girls. not only is it crazy to have such a visceral look back to a specific point in time, it’s very surreal how i am a completely different person now. reading my old thoughts on emotions is quite a trip!

i think i also set it send it in 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years. i seriously doubt i’ll have the same gmail account in 7 years, but who knows? i still get email from an 8-year-old account thanks to forwarding…
