Ten Years Ago

annathepiper — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 01:40:33 +0000

There’s a fun meme going around Twitter today with the hash tag #10yearsago. For the benefit of those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook, here are my contributions! It’s fun to write these down, especially given that this year was before I was regularly doing anything like blogging.

Y’all will notice there’s a whole lot of fandom and geekery here. This would be because, well, I was indulging in a lot of fandom and geekery that year! Which has certainly not changed at all in the ten years since.

#10yearsago Mylee Ejercito drew me a Shenner picture! http://www.annathepiper.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shenner3.jpg
#10yearsago I was still totally fangirling on Strongbow from Elfquest, enough that I had a web page dedicated to him!
#10yearsago X-Files was starting to wear out its welcome at the Murk, but ZOMG Season 3 of Buffy. Big, big fun. Mayor FTW. <3
#10yearsago Had big fun seeing The Matrix, Sixth Sense, Toy Story 2, and The Mummy, and OK fine ogled Ewan MacGregor in Phantom Menance. ;)
HA I was wrong. My Presario laptop was NOT running XP. It was running Windows 98 and I upgraded to SE that year. #10yearsago
#10yearsago Phantom Menace came out! Mimi and I were in line for a late show with a kid with blue hair. We played Egyptian Rat Screw!
#10yearsago We didn’t go to Worldcon in Australia but DID go to NASFiC in Anaheim and had a 3-day marathon Disneyland run! Indy ride FTW!
#10yearsago I’d quit PernMUSH, BUT! I was still writing in Pern fandom offline in Telgar Weyr, as brownrider Tember and bronzerider J’marr.
#10yearsago I was still using a Compaq Presario as my laptop, and it was running XP, and I was FINE with that. Poor deluded 1999 me! ;)
#10yearsago Wayfound was born at the Willowholt on Two Moons MUSH, and I destroyed the Willowholt in floods at the end of the year.
#10yearsago Tance Vokrim was my surviving character on CrystalMUSH, and he got his beloved Kesya back halfway through that year.
#10yearsago I was playing Shenner and Han Solo on Star Wars MUSH and making people’s jaws drop that a girl was playing Solo.
#10yearsago in addition to not knowing Great Big Sea yet, my dad was still alive, I worked at Attachmate, and I’d just joined AetherMUSH!
In 1999 I was still living at MurkSouth and had not yet discovered either Russell Crowe or Great Big Sea. Had no idea what I was missing!

I have completed my sweep through my site and basically gotten all parts of it back online, fixing some broken stuff along the way and adding a couple of small new things. Mostly the new stuff is on my Great Big Sea page, to which I have added a new GBS filk and done a small rearranging of the content there. Once things settle down a little further, I may also be able to add some pictures from the 2003 show I attended.

Aside from that, I have also fixed some broken links on my Rellawy character page, updated the reference to AetherMUSH on my MUSHes page to reflect that Aether II has opened up in Aether’s place, and fixed other little minor things as I’ve found them. Anybody sees anything else broken, do please let me know!

Two more Kaiulani logs: “From the Shards of Their Lives Before” and “Marketplace Standoff”. Also, since I retired both Rillwhisper and Oriolle from play, I’ve put them on my Old TM Characters page, and updated it as well as my main Old MUSH Characters page, having reformatted both to designate various types of characters in a way a bit more fitting with the overall style of the site.
