I’ll go first, to set the tone:

Tay Zonday of ‘Chocolate Rain’ fame used to follow me on Twitter. 💪

    For a long time I was in the first image result if ‘London goth’ was typed into google.

    Back in WoW’s Burning Crusade days, my friends and I ran one of the most successful guilds on one of the most competitive servers. That was true before and after TBC, but during is when we became slightly known.

    We had invented our own loot system in an attempt to make one that was fair. It was designed to be fair not only in regards to accumulating points with which to bid on items, but also to encourage and enable participation of both existing and new members. Anyway, it was complicated and it worked.

    Our loot system ended up getting a short article written about it in some gaming magazine. I wish I had a copy of it. My one friend still does. I don’t even remember which magazine it was.

    I was a disc jockey in radio, not clubs, off and on for several years. I was never a big name or well known.

      I was among the first couple thousand to join gmail.

      People who think that my simple email address is their email address (which I guess is my email address plus some numbers or something) have become the bane of my existence in the years since.

    I once came in 4th place in the world rankings on a Project Cars 2 time trial and used to regularly come in the top 5% on Gran Turismo time trials. I don’t really race on PlayStation any more though.

    I lived next to air bud as a kid. My mom hated the dog because the owners would let it roam around and it would shit in our yard.

    Not mine but my wife’s. Rockband 3 for Xbox 360 was basically the first console game that allowed user generated content (i.e., mods, but in this case, songs). There was an indie band that put their song up. Their music video was their singer playing the song in the game.

    My wife beat her score. Neither of them held the top spot. The song was pretty decent but I can’t remember it right now. They never got famous.

    I ran in a 10km race and ended up taking a wrong turn. Everyone behind followed me. A small local newspaper interviewed me. I ended up in a quick tv segment and had a small write up in the paper.

    My great grandfather tailored some clothes for President LBJ. It was after he left office I think.

    Many of the songs I ripped and shared via Napster in the late 1900’s continued to appear on legitimate platforms years later.

      psst Hey, uh listen. We’ve all been talking and while, yes the term late 1900’s is factually correct, you can just not say it. Like it’s so easy, you don’t have to do anything or can do literally anything else.

        Same bitrate, file size, and metadata (with my tags still included), along naming schemes and occasional misspellings.
