PAST NOTES

analog instant messages


you have found my collection of passed notes from the 90s, welcome.

spanning from the beginning of 1995 to junior year of high school in 1998, a note, reproduced verbatim from the original with the exception of all names, is posted to this blog in the order I'd received it. each post contains one note, and a brief narration of the back story as best I can remember it.

there will also be, from time to time, relevant photos, songs, videos, links, objects, quotes, diaries, poems, and other ephemera (all admittedly completely self-indulgent and wince-inducing).

Two notes ago, Tearjerker reminds him of us. One note ago, it has nothing to do with us. In this note, it reminds him of us. I just listened to it for probably the first time in over a decade. My heart sank to my stomach first for embarrassment, then for sentiment, and then I just started cracking up at the warm, cheese-stuffed feelings it gave me all over. I think all in all, it was just a sweet song to make out to, with absolutely nothing in it’s lyrics having anything to do with our particular fourteen-year-old first romance. And make out to it, we did. Awkwardly.
