Fan Mail
I've been sifting through many boxes of floppy disks I have dating back to the early 90s. Old files that include some of my earliest Web pages, different versions of my resume, old images and a hefty file of fan mail about my Web site. Back then I was a well-known personal home page diva and I received quite a bit of fan mail. After writing and posting a tale about my luxurious lifestyle in a story titled Don't Cry for Me Orangina, I suddenly found myself receiving emails from guys who wanted to apply for the position of "official toe sucker."
Be that as it may, I thought I'd post some of that fan mail from back in the day just for fun. [Note: The fan mail is included in the extended entry, and all names/identifiable email addresses have been removed to protect the guilty.]

Subject: Application for Toe Suck Position
Dearest:
Remember me? I'm the toe-sucker who sent a letter admiring your home page a few net-years (5 minutes) ago.
I'm going to assume you own a Mac and include a sound clip. Creative people do clips and you give the distinct impression of creativity. (Along with mild schizophrenia, which I'll ignore for the moment.) If you own a PC our romance is over with before you finish this sentence. A few exceptions can be made, (but only for love or $.)
Trying to "educate" a PC person about the glory of owning and using a Mac -- BEING a Mac person -- is like trying to explain advanced lovemaking to a 11-year-old male who is fixated on wacking off while peeking at Penthouse. He's convinced that's as good as it will ever get and there's no telling him otherwise. Land of the blind. If you are a PC person and this offends you, let me take you gently by the hand. It'll be ok. I can teach you.
So, darling, anyway, I've attached a sample of my more humorous writing to make you laugh, for I've found that if I can make an intelligent and sometimes-takes and makes-herself-too-serious lady such as yourself laugh, well, nevermind. So plunge right in! Read it!
The sound clip expresses (at least on Macintosh computers) how I feel about encountering an intelligent AND irreverant woman on the net, whom I am going to make giggle endlessley...... do you have a gif available? Sorry its so big. (The sound clip)
Tell me its true. You're a goddess of beauty too. I knew it. I just knew it.
Awaiting your reply,
Your soon-to-be chief of all toe-suckers and grape-boys

Holy crap, that would terrify me. Plus, toe sucking. I knew a girl that liked that but.. ah... TMI.
