Everybody, please go read my friend Sarah’s post. Especially if you’ve ever wondered about us crazy internet people and our internet friendships. I’ve not been terribly vocal about my internet friendships, for all the reasons that Sarah says in her post. But people who know me well may know that I went to Austin last spring for a Veronica Mars fanparty/event, and that in 2004 (I think) I went to LA for an Angel party, both times largely to meet people who I’d met and talked with on a Buffy fanboard and later, Livejournal. Many of these people I’ve now known for five years, which is longer than many of my real-life friends, certainly longer than my current college friends. But it’s sometimes hard to tell people that some of your best friends you may only know online. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet most of my closest online friends in person by now, but that doesn’t change how we met.
There’s really nothing else to say except to read what Sarah has to say–she’s taken my thoughts and put them into eloquent words.
