Email was our new form of communication.He had a work email and I got a hotmail account. My parents had an up to date computer with a modem at 56K. Wow, they had upgraded from the 26K they previously had had. My nightly email sessions went a little like this.I would attempt to log onto the server…..busy signal, try again waiting waiting waiting, ok server has responded now all the pinging back and forth between computers, 5 minutes later fully logged on.
I started using the time in between to do exercises. I would do sit up and get on the stair climber, this actually did well for my health and figure. Now to maneuver onto hotmail, it would take about another 5-10 minutes for the email page to load up. So there I was doing exercises again. Since this was a nightly routine I was getting a pretty good work out everyday.
We would exchange about 5-10 emails nightly. We discovered ICQ and were able to use that to IM each other. This is where I picked up my typing skills. It was nice, I felt that he was still a part of my daily life. He became my diary of sorts. I would recount my daily going ons and exclaim how much I missed him. There are some words that I was always misspelling when I ended my emails or ICQ conversations I always accidentally ended it with I lvoe you…. so it became my sound off, he always misspelled you and turned it into yuo. It was a perfect fit.
