You see psychedelic
flowers when you close your eyes to go to sleep.Before you have a conversation with
someone, you ask them if they'd accept a chat request.You consider sleeping your
"N/A" mode.You hear little voices in
your head constantly saying "uh-oh".You have over 500 buddies on
your contact list.You've had long
conversations with all 500 of those buddies.Names like "Tom"
and "Jane" are strange, but names like "Snakeman" and
"Tigger" are common.Your friend introduces you
to a new person, and you ask them if you can add them to your "contact list".Since downloading ICQ,
you've learned to speak 7 new languages, including Ukranian and the dialect of a small native community in Peru.
To you, ICQ isn't just a
program, it's a "gift to mankind".Your idea of a "wild
time" is inviting all of your online friends into one giant chatroom.The last time you signed off
ICQ was during the George Bush administration.Every time a new version or
update of ICQ is released, you have your own celebration party, complete with cake, party favors, and champagne.
Your dog leaves you due to
lack of attention, despite your efforts to appease him by giving him his own ICQ number.Your one pride in life has
become your immense contact list, and you ask all your friends to send over their contacts
to make it even bigger.You name your first child
"Mirabilis" and tell all your friends that it was because you "liked how it
sounded".You have carefully allotted
your time during work/school lunch breaks: 32 minutes to check and respond to ICQ
messages, 3 minutes to eat.IN CHURCH - You are
recieving messages from THE LORD preposted with the sound "uh-oh".
