Retro Voyeur IM #1: Emory Online Tricks

Retro Voyeur #1 - Circa 4-24-03

So this is the first in a series of what I hope to be a grand unearthing of Voyeur gold, hidden deep in my old saved chat files, obscure hard drive folders, and message bottles I pitched into the ocean that promptly floated right back to me. That's right, I used to print out IM's and roll them up into a glass bottle as recently as 2003. During the series, you might be exposed to some PIC history, a few mysteries, and more likely, some voracious half-truths. (I'm sorry, what does "voracious" mean again? It sounds like it works there.) Don't worry, the radiation contained in these conversations has been determined to have a negligible impact on your health.

This convo comes from a random interview by a girl named Angela at some online magazine. Forgive me for not knowing which one, it's been almost two years. My memory is like a sponge waiting to be squeezed since 1987.

Enjoy the retro series!

kissmypickle: So, first question
kissmypickle: How long have you been writing?
courtjester5000: Well, I first learned sometime around 4 years old, but the letters weren't so well-developed as today. I think I first started making sense in a funny way about 4 years ago when I came to college.
kissmypickle: So did you start your website when you were a freshman in college or was it before?
courtjester5000: It was actually when I was a freshman in college. I had no idea how websites worked, so I used the Frontpage Express that came with Windows 98, and a kid in HS did taught me enough to get it online.
kissmypickle: What is the oddest thing someone has said about your website?
courtjester5000: Well, I'd have to go straight to a review someone once gave of my site that went something like "This man makes college look 10 times worse than it really is." I was always baffled by that. But the strangest thing was one time when a girl emailed me demanding my opinion on alarm clocks and even going as far as to say she "counted on me." I'd hate to be her waking up every morning.
kissmypickle: How much soda do you drink in a week on average? (I told you that the interviews generally get kinda wierd)
courtjester5000: First of all, I'd like to point out that it's spelled "weird." It's weird because the last 13 times I've seen that word spelled it was wrong. Weird. But anyway, I drank soda freshman year when it was free in unlimited quantities at the cafeteria, but now I usually just drink it with alcohol, so it's kind of hard to estimate. The whiskey just never stops tagging along.
kissmypickle: Thank you for correcting me lol. Here I am, a writer, and I spelled it wrong! Urgh *smacks self in head*
courtjester5000: Don't feel bad, it's a weird word.
kissmypickle: lol but I should know how to spell it
kissmypickle: I am the one who never spells words wrong...I correct people all the time...it drives them insane.
kissmypickle: Anyway, If a train left Florida traveling at 35 mph and another train left California traveling at 65 mph, would you care?
courtjester5000: Only if they crashed.
kissmypickle: Soo...what's your favorite color?
courtjester5000: Red.
kissmypickle: How about your favorite drink?
courtjester5000: Red.
courtjester5000: Oops, I'm thinking too fast...
courtjester5000: Whiskey and coke.
courtjester5000: And as a college student I intentionally leave out the word "Jack."
courtjester5000: For money's sake.
kissmypickle: Makes cents.
kissmypickle: So where were you born?
courtjester5000: Fairfax, VA on the side of the road to a small farmer named Belagio who fed me corn meal for three days until I managed to gather myself and get the hell out of VA.
kissmypickle: So do you have a fear of corn meal now?
courtjester5000: No, I embrace corn meal now whenever I'm facing tough times. It helps keep my stools strong.
kissmypickle: And last question that I ask everyone...What size pants do you wear?
courtjester5000: 34W 34L. And if I was a girl I would hope for the same measurements elsewhere.
kissmypickle: My measurements are cool :-)
kissmypickle: Thanks for letting me do the interview.
courtjester5000: Too bad we had to it on IM huh.
