Back in the days of AOL and dial-up, the Internet was where I thought pervs, skeezers, and eBay shoppers spent their time. Since then, my mind has changed.
On Monday evening I got together with a group of people I met online. Ironically, we were all connected through this nifty little community known to the cool kids as Twitter. Odd as it is to my mother, I really enjoy keeping up to date with my dad’s daily bits of randomness, my sister’s pop culture jargon, my best friend’s all over the world, and a cool group of people I have gotten to know through the world wide web.Is it odd that I could dialog with a girl from South Africa currently living in Atlanta without skipping a beat? Or that a married woman with two kids and a working professional woman can sit down and have a conversation as friends who have known each other for years? Yes. Yes, it is odd.
But life is odd. And so is living in community.
Trying to find people who think like you or challenge you is difficult. But there’s nothing worse than doing life alone. So yeah, Internet friends are odd, but so is talking to yourself as you eat your lunch at a table sans a community of friends. I know. I’ve personally been there.
Have you ever met someone in real life who you met on the Internet? Whoa, that totally sounds like Dateline’s How To Catch A Preditor tag line, but you know what I’m saying! If you haven’t, who would you want to meet and why? [I’m nosey. Humor me.]
