ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis It seems to me that I've met hundreds, but I know that's a slight exaggeration. I have difficulty in social situations, I'm much more comfortable online. So when I made arrangements to go to Florida to meet the multitudes, DaddysRedHead had to keep talking me into it, nearly daily. Finally I decided that none of y'all are real people, you're just pixels. And I'd even convinced myself that I would get there & nobody would show up at the airport to meet me because, after all, pixels can't get drivers' licenses. And that's where I met most of you folks. And I had the bestest time!!! Miss Sunshine was my roomie extraordinaire. And I got the same thing from friends & family about going all the way to Florida to hang out with strangers. They all thought I'd lost what little mind remained. Since then, I've met more. I've made lasting friendships with the people I've met from the boards. And some have become family. I think that most of the people I know are very much like I expected them to be, very positive funny silly people. Only a couple of them were people I didn't want to have in my life. And I'm now living in Lushy's basement. I'd wanted to live in Chicagoland for years & now I get to. And her son is amazing!!! Hey now! Lushy's son... my fiance. DOn't forget! Yes, that was great.... spending time with you. And then Linnea happened to be driving nearby and stopped to see me when I lived in the states. She was so full of joy and laughter. I made her a bunny rabbit.... Cause she's so HOPPY!
