If I'm not related to you and I don't go to church with you, or you're not my BFF from waaay before the internet was born, yup, we met online. <br /><br />I met my husband online. We met at match.com, which was very lucky. He was too cheap and I was too broke to pay for the damn thing, but we both happened to be using our one week free trial at the same time. See? A match made in heaven.<br /><br />Honestly? I don't know WHAT I would do without my ether-people. I'm stuck at home so much of the time because of Carter's special needs, I'd die of loneliness if it wasn't for all the tiny people living in this here machine.<br /><br />Also?

I don't talk to the ones I did date.<br /><br />Before I came to Florida, I met people online who were coming to Florida for the same thing. I met them in real life and still talk to lots of them.<br /><br />I met a lot of people through Lost fandom.<br /><br />The world has gotten smaller, so there's more chances to connect with people. But it still gets lonely. Weird how that works, too.BrerMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335168741911456446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944773045429374066.post-86814385466418574362010-04-22T14:30:40.927-05:002010-04-22T14:30:40.927-05:00I started blogging sometime in 2004 I think, and f...I started blogging sometime in 2004 I think, and for a long time it was just an online journal. Then we moved overseas and became "expats" and I started looking through online expat communities and adding my blog to expat websites, and ended up meeting most of my overseas friends via blogging. Sometimes the connection would be coincidental-- there was one gal I met through friends (whom I met via a bloggy friend) and only later did I realize I'd read her blog some several months before. <br /><br />The expat blog community in Europe is a very tight-knit circle. ; )<br /><br />Then I became a mom, and it just exploded. I've met a lot fewer of my mom-blog friends in real life, but I still love having them and they were my saving grace in the first months after having Donovan. <br /><br />Interestingly, since moving back I've been much more careful about listing locations on my blog or whatever for fear of "internet crazies" which is kinda looney in itself. Your post is making me think I should maybe try to find other mom bloggers who live near me and find friends that way... hmmmMarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792375260633790983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944773045429374066.post-65487857683121448072010-04-22T10:39:53.266-05:002010-04-22T10:39:53.266-05:00I thought the internet was for porn.I thought the internet was for porn.BrerMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335168741911456446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944773045429374066.post-39484242092010314522010-04-22T10:14:28.142-05:002010-04-22T10:14:28.142-05:00I'm pretty sure I met almost all of my good fr...I'm pretty sure I met almost all of my good friends over the internet.
