Did you two have an actual long-distance relationship? Do you still communicate?
I came along just after the new board went up. That avatar you had said GAY to me. I heard and thought of you through that filter. Even after some of my slowness dissipated and I realized your were female, I still had some of that filter left. It stuck, I couldn't shake it. You put up the new picture and it was instantly gone. My perception of your tone and attitude changed with it. Even the sound of your voice in my imagination changed. Hard to explain unless you were in here with me.
