But after seeing, <br /><br />"http://www.archive.org/index.php"<br /><br />And searching it, I was FLOORED to be able to find my old page from when I was 16. I'm now 26. The amount of laughter and sheer embarrassment I felt was monumental. This was such a utter joy to experience again!<br /><br />I sheepishly made a page for my girlfriend at the time Danielle Pryor. And boy, reading over it brought back a flood of fun and very awkward memories! But, oh so good! <br /><br />My whole month, if not longer has been made. I have no idea if this page is even up kept anymore, as I haven't dug any further into this particular blog. But I can't continue to thank this page for allowing me to take this trip down memory lane, my own personal time capsule!<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />- DRAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14116748.post-62707755201036921832010-01-18T16:06:48.311-05:002010-01-18T16:06:48.311-05:00how were the URLs written?? i am trying to find my...how were the URLs written?? i am trying to find my old one, but am not sure where my screenname wentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14116748.post-26116411543520660552009-05-10T01:55:00.000-04:002009-05-10T01:55:00.000-04:00I need to get to my journal.

I know its private but even for 5 mins so I can move the files over to my word processor or soemthing like that.. it had files and conversations that I need in a few weeks for a court case against a ex-friend stalking and for a restraining order. They were the last few things I need for my case. Please if you can help me in anyway, I have tried both suggestions on this page. I got no notice until today when I went on to retrieve and remember going to my page last in December to look at something and it was still working. Please help me.
