blink book :: Article Creator Coming Of Age At The Dawn Of The Social Internet Like so many millennials, I entered the online world through AOL Instant Messenger. I created an account one unremarkable day in the late nineteen-nineties, sitting in the basement of my childhood home at our chunky white desktop computer, which connected to the Internet via a patchy dial-up modem. I picked a username, "Silk," based on a character from my favorite series of fantasy novels, with asterisks and squiggles tacked on to differentiate my account from others who'd chosen to be Silks as well. The character in the books was a charismatic thief with a confidence that I, an awkward middle schooler, could only aspire to at the time. But the name was not intended as a cloak of anonymity, because most of the people I corresponded with on AIM were school friends whom I saw every day.

short love story for her :: Article Creator Tiny Love Stories: 'Remember How Obnoxious I Was?' Calling It What It Is I'd been a disobedient teenager, eager to rebel against authority. I resisted my parents and the church. But oddly, the one adult I could actually talk to was our Presbyterian minister, Dr. Moffatt. We reunited recently for his 99th birthday. He surprised me by saying he'd once considered becoming a politician to impact peoples' lives. "But you've impacted plenty of lives," I responded. "Take me; remember how obnoxious I was?" "Oh, yes," he said, smiling. "Remember being the only person who made me feel accepted and OK?" He nodded. Then, looking at me straight on, he said, "Lee, it's called love." — Lee Guthrie The Girls I called it quits 10 years into our marriage. Anger, obstinance, grief and my alcoholism marred the end of our otherwise good-enough partners...
