haha_hehe_1OG 2004

The username says it all — haha_hehe_1 showed up in January 2004 with a profile name of "Haha Hehe," a homepage link, and an arsenal of emoticons that baffled the regulars. All 11 comments and two journal entries landed within a two-day window in late January, and he spent most of that time cheerfully confusing people with faces like "X-O" and "^_^;;;" until tinser finally asked "what's with all the weird symbols?" He wrote journals about hating the word "intriguing" and pondering whether saying "by the way" was technically taking a sacred name in vain — the kind of earnest theological tangent that only a teenager discovering a new community could pull off. He recognized legiapol from his own kingdom hall, asked whether everyone on the site was a JW (to which iwz clarified it was not exclusive but "mostly"), and offered genuine sleep advice involving exercise and 50mg of diphenhydramine. His crew — jay79, tinser, skaorsk8, ilikebirds, and forrestina — engaged with him like a curious younger sibling who had wandered into the room.

eZabel Personality Type: INFP — "The Emoticon Kid." He was young, earnest, and unapologetically himself — a brief visitor who treated eZabel like a Xanga that actually talked back.
