Beanie Baby poems
Remember Beanie Babies?
Little stuffed animals with beans in them, that was all the rage in the mid to late 90s?
One of the dogs was called Bones. I remember the poem in his tag:
Bones is a dog that loves to chew,
Chairs and tables and a smelly old shoe,
Youre so destructive, all would shout
But that all stopped when his teeth fell out.

I also remember the login password to my dad's first work laptop (some old Apple black-and-white with a ball instead of a trackpad.

You know that scene in the (original) H.G.Wells Time Machine film
...where he's watching the sun go around the sky, faster and faster, and the skirt lengths going up and down in the window of the shop opposite?

That's how I feel, these days. A week is a mere blink; even a year seems like a short time. I say something happened "the other day" and then realise it was three years ago. Birthdays seem to happen every month, so fast I've lost count.

The only benefit I can see is that, as you get older, you can start to pull off "eccentric" (rather than just "weird"). My role model is Doc from Back To The Future...

Didnt mean for that to sound whingey.

As for thicker skin, no, since the days of AOL chatrooms/ local IRC channels (yes, in Norway it was common to have channels for people in your local area, dunno if that was the case here in the UK) I learned not to take the internet seriously. At all. And 4chan was hilarious.
