I loved this. :) I made a lot of really close friends in the days of the early internet - LiveJournal in particular was the place where ALL of my friends, IRL and online, were, back in the days before MySpace was even a thing. Those were the times, lol
Strangely, even though there was a lot of fear-mongering about meeting people online and not giving out your personal information and stuff, I think that back in the "wild west" days of the internet, it was probably actually a little safer than it is now. But that might also be my adult brain thinking vs. my teenage brain thinking.
Your experiences with the internet really brought me all of the nostalgia!
