Silly as it sounds, it just clicked the other day when I was talking to a long time net friend. That we’ve been friends now for 10 years and it also means its my onlineversary. Even though I got an email account in 1995, I wasn’t really into the interacting with people in chat-rooms and what not until the fall after I graduated high school.

Within the 10 years I’ve been online, there has been a lot of changes. I remember Bolt.com one of the first networking sites out there, to everyone having a site(s) on geocites, to if you weren’t hosted by someone/had your own domain you were looked down a upon. Even the battle of who’s browser is better internet explore vs netscape (at the time) now internet explore is against firefox, safari, chrome, opera etc. One thing I don’t miss is the ever so many webrings, tagboards and annoying pop ups on peoples sites.

I still think its neat that I’m still use two of my original screen names/email accounts from 1999.. They are now used mostly for my long time friends/family on chat and to collect all my junk email. All my paddlinggeek screen names have everyone else I talk to on chat.

How many screen names have you gone though before you found the perfect one?
Do you still use any of them?

So my Halloween movie night/party is tomorrow night, and yet I still don’t really have a head count on how many people are coming. Sent out 15 invites and got five replies back, the other ten waited until I called them their replies were they might be there. A “might” sounds like I’ll come if nothing else pops up.

Is it me or people these days just rude? I’m sorry but if someone is taking the time to plan/host an event, make handmade invitations (that were snail mailed) wouldn’t it be curtness to reply back with an answer then not at all? Both VancityBuzz and Duane think that our generation has that attitude of I’ll show up to your party, if you got something I want …. aka free beer and free wifi. Instead of going because its your friend who’s hosting it.

One of my best friends mentioned to me last night “If someone don’t reply back/said yes but never show then they get put on the do not invite list”. I think I’m gonna start falling that rule as its a good rule to go by. Why should you end up in tears over them being rude. I also think I need some new friends.

What do you do when you got people who don’t rsvp?
