For unrelated and somewhat random reasons, I looked at the "Get Info" tab of my own AIM profile today. It says:

Which is to say, I've been IMing (at this name, which is equal to the whole time) for almost exactly ten years. Fascinating.
Ok, not really fascinating, since my 10-year college reunion was last weekend, and the 10-year birthday of my nose piercing is coming up (July 4!). It's not like I haven't already realized the momentousness of this season of my life, ten years ago, when I graduated, and moved into an amazing house in Cambridge with friends and boyfriend, and began my first full-time job. It was just one more funny little reminder. Happy Anniversary, momentousness.

I guess in ten years, we will be celebrating the momentousness of this year... the year that you got a condo in Sherman Oaks, you got read of your full time job, and who knows what other amazing thing it's going to happen this year!!
Ha! I have you beat. May 4th, 1999. But really, who was I talking to for those six weeks before you got an account? I must have been using zephyr to talk to you... :-)
