when I was 10 I "fell" in "love" with a boy I met on Neopets simply because he was the first boy I encountered who used emoticons like :3, xD, ^^ as well as proper grammar & spelling. I thought only girls did that & figured I caught myself a rare specimen I needed to hold on to

@taroball that's what he claimed — though perhaps he was an FBI agent, going by that old internet adage ("welcome to the internet where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents")
