i was going through all these old aim chat transcripts that i had saved on my work laptop (because i find it necessary to archive everything i experience that i want to remember because my memory is shite and otherwise i will forget) because i had to transfer the data from my old laptop to my sexy new laptop and was determining what can be deleted and what will be transferred. and i came across a collection of chats from november and december and the conversations i was having with this one person and after reading them all,i am having trouble deciding if it was a good thing to read because i had forgotten what is there, or a bad thing cause now i remember what used to be. it's tough to say, because my opinions on that individual havent changed. what's changed is the opportunity (or lack thereof) to express them, or (more importantly) have them returned.
