My dad's a big pc gamer, and in those days when he was home from work, he'd usually spend time dinking around on his pc; also, the computer was in my parent's bedroom, and there were only two chairs in the room, and they'd watch tv sometimes too at night... so no chair meant no pc use.
Haha, but I never really minded, I was too busy playing with my sis and cousin or my video games.
The times I did get to use his pc, I usually spent that time playing games on it. I ended up using the library computers about once a week in my mid-teens.
I think I have an idea on what you're talking about Jason, but just to be sure, what's AIM / MSN stories?
Like most weird animes.
I had dial-up internet, okay? I just wrote corny stories that I thought were cool and they ended up stretching oooooon and ooooon...... I have seen stuff like that before, just not a lot.
