i'm really not into AIM logs, i just save snippets of stuff, and lo and behold -- i forever hold this as a compare and contrast between pre-internet swearing off josh and post "i'm here even though i could quit again at any given moment" neo-seipp... this is mos def pre-bye bye, probably circa late october 2002:

i love the enthusiasm. i have bold-ed particular highlights.
