If I could actually draw visitors from here...::drool::.
Slambooks are evil but warmly fun.
Like caramel popcorn.

I can't believe I still have this up. I found it the other day and I am currently corresponding with someone else who had one. We used to sign back and forth.
This is what I sent:
Hi there. I'm Claire and a couple of years ago we had very strange contact on
the Internet. We both had slambooks at slambook.com and we signed each other's
for a while. My slambook is under angryquail. This was two years ago.
Why am I writing you, and why now, you probably ask. I am asking myself that
now too, and the reason is because whenever I feel lonely I dive back into the
Internet to fill the cavernous hole. And today somehow I found that site
again...I didn't even remember I had a book there. And I was reading all the
answers and I was reading what you wrote and you sounded like someone who'd be
nice to talk to.
So, yes. This is a random e-mail from a lonely person. This makes me sound
horribly pathetic but I like to look at it as meeting new people. I like to
keep correspondence as well.
It's nearly six AM and I haven't gone to bed, so I'll end here. Wonder if I'll
hear from you.
-Claire
And he wrote back:
Hello,
I came so close to deleting your email because the title seemed exactly like
the type spam would use to get you to open it. I only opened it because of
the name Claire.
I believe I understand the loneliness of which you speak. A couple of
months ago in the depths of depression, around 4 am, I had exhausted my
Google search of girls I had let get away. I suddenly remebered my
slambook. I viewed it and realized that little had changed. Actually I was
very surprised that it was still there. I also noticed that my alter-ego of
Badass Dave was still up and running.
My answers to slambooks seem to capture a moment in time 2 years ago when my
life was much different. Your email gives me hope that even in a society
where we all feel more and more alienated and alone, the internet links
those who otherwise would never have benefited from eachother's existance.
But I digress. It was a delightful surprise to receive and email from you
and I look forward to future correspondence.
-Don
P.S.- I wrote in your slambook again.
That was long, but it's the beauty of the Internet, the beauty of people, the beauty of life.
