Hm,
where to start, where to start.. ;) I guess I first
stumbled through those YT doors late in 1996, or maybe early
'97.. it doesn't really pertain to the story, so let's just say
Late '96. I, in 1996, was just finishing up chemotherapy
from being diagnosed with cancer in 1995. (Ooh, ahh. Oh,
I'm fine now, thank you.) Anyhoo, I had basically lost all
of my friends because hey, at 11, you get kinda freaked out by
that sorta thing. So I was sitting at home, in a
wheelchair, with a bald head and junk - and I found my way to
this way cool chat room called Youth Tech (they kicked me outta
the "Blabbatorium" because I was too old).
Immediately I met the "regulars" or The Fam, and they
took me in without question. It shocked my poor little 12
year old mind that people could accept you based on your
personality rather than your looks. (Mine at the time were
not so hot, keep in mind.) I made some of the best friends
in Youth Tech, some better than those I've had in real life.
Hm. YT has been a Godsend in my life. I love each and
every person I've been
friends with in the past 4 or 5 years, and I thank you all for..
just loving me, when most of the world felt they couldn't. =)
