Q the Queer

I actually remember the password to the ICQ number that I signed up for years and years ago. My UIN is 3491404. This was long when I had to go to mirabilis.com to get ICQ, since ICQ.com wasn't there yet. And ICQ was for "I Seek You."

Get it? It's seven digits. I signed up for at least two more UIN, but I can't remember their numbers, or the email addresses I signed them up with. I think I deleted the email address, so I probably wouldn't be able to retrieve them anyway. I don't even remember if this is the first UIN or my second. It's the only one that is tied to trilan @ excite . com, which I would let you know, is my second email address after delphi . oracle @ excite . com.

While other people have nine digits, I have seven. I only wish I signed up earlier, so I can keep a legacy of being one amongst the first users of ICQ.

Look! I called myself The Mage. To prove that it is indeed mine, you can see that my birthdate is May 29, though I obviously fibbed on the year to make me more than 100 years old.

I don't know if I can find my other UIN. My memory is pretty poor. Maybe someday, I'll be able to find it. It depends on whether my past self would leave me a clue to help find him.

I also remembered one of my earlier screennames was actually ... Q the Queer. But understand, I didn't know what queer meant. The dictionary at that time didn't define it was "homosexual." All I thought was that queer meant odd or strange. And I liked to think of myself as odd.

I named myself "Q the Queer" because of again, Star Trek, where my favorite character was Q.
