around 1995 i started on aol kids only where i would play aol games and work on my homepage and talk in chatrooms. later promoted to the teen setting around 1998 where i mostly spent my time in the evangelion aol message board where everybody would make fun of me. when i started using the real internet instead of aol i spent most of my time browsing and making geocities sites and yahoo clubs/groups and talking on anime message boards. i also spent a lot of time pretending to be a japanese girl in yahoo chat rooms during this period.
