taiOG 2003

A summer 2003 arrival who joined eZabel already embedded in the NJ social scene, tai landed in June with a handful of comments and a whole lot of confidence. Her very first post was a blunt "well, it's not. so just be quiet already" — setting the tone for someone who was never going to mince words. She compared herself to a fruit roll-up ("stretchable and dividable"), declared herself never wrong with a triumphant "booooo yah," and casually dismissed anyone having a crush on g.f.s.rocks as "pointless." Her crew — skaorsk8, forrestina, malibu, and ilikebirds — were the site's most active members, and tai clearly knew them from the real world. When malibu noticed she had created a new account, the teasing was instant: "now you're gonna be on the top 20 users 3 times." Seven comments across June and July, a handful of events attended (including the legendary Manhunt game), and then silence. She read plenty of journals and browsed the Macking forum, but posting was apparently optional.

eZabel Personality Type: ESTP — "The Firecracker." Blunt, social, and allergic to small talk, tai showed up already knowing everyone, said exactly what she thought, and disappeared before anyone could argue back.
