Oh, I know how that is. I used to save chat transcripts religiously, and I have no idea why. The funny ones, okay, but why would I want to go back and revisit some of the most depressing conversations of my life? Because they were "important"? Pah!
Indeed. But even then, it was a somewhat odd introspection of who I was. Some of the most bizarre points came from reading conversations that I never remembered. Not only from a "who the hell is 'randomnameperson'?" standpoint, but from seeing things that I obviously had typed but have no idea who the person I was at the time even is. Or was. Something.
There were also conversations with former coworkers that made me really really miss Media Play, conversations with quite a few friends who have passed away, and most awkward... conversations with exes, in the midst or shortly after the 'falling out' period. :T
Most of it just made me feel really alone. So much so that I actually reinstalled AIM... and then set myself to away for days on end for no reason.
