A needle in the vain

I hate meeting people online. Main reason: So many people that I'm introduced to online live so far away. Case in point, Jenndiggity. I love her. She's the best person I've ever met online and I'm sad that she lives all the way in Spokane.

And now I meet Riot Girl. What are the fates trying to tell me? Are they urging me out of that door, out of this city, out of this state? Without money and an agenda (or the promise of a job) I'm pretty much fucked when it comes to leaving here. But Riot Girl is awesome. She's also seven years younger than me which comes to me as a complete shock that I'm more enthralled by her than annoyed. I'm not annoyed at all actually.

I've also met a guy named Chef. The only reason, he tells me, that he went into the profession is because he wanted to make his buddies goodies when they were all getting high. I love this guy already.

Then there's the military people, who in real life I'd never imagine getting along, but they love me online and that's good enough for me. Also, we don't see our political sides, so that's also a plus. I've even been invited to a wedding.

It's saddening that I've met so many people online and I can't even hang out with them. This utterly sucks for me.

Don't despair, everyone's way more awesome online than they are in person. Most of an internet friend's awesomeness comes from that element of anonymity. The rest is pure imagination. It's a well known fact :)
