[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] John was one of the first people I met online, in any meaningful sense, back in 1996 or thereabouts. Being much more awkwardly nerdy (or perhaps just less self-conscious about it) I spent all my time on some flavor or other of Yahoo! Chat, gravitating towards the Star Trek rooms because, well, I mean, yeah. Anyway, that's where we met. Diane too (Ziyal). And after getting my initial (sad, sad, so sad) rocks off pretending to be various TV show characters, I wound up getting in some heady discussions with John about music, and history, and the like. I was still feeling out my entrance into the adult world, and being able to have conversations about subjects that never came up among my friends in high school was a minor revelation. John sent me an actual physical copy of [i]Kind of Blue[/i] once, I presume on a whim after we'd talked about jazz. (I didn't get it; he was passionate about it.) I didn't and don't know what to say in the face of such generous enthusiasm. I get jazz now. We hadn't spoken to each other directly much in the last few years, even before he became ill. I assumed, I suppose, that I'd always be able to send him a private message here to catch up, one of these days. When I got around to it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
