I met buffistas, thessaly and victor, before I joined the board, and I met a bunch of Sommervillians shortly after that. I don't think I would have had to nerve to meet people in meatspace if it hadn't happened that way.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Now tagless for your comfort.
when have you met an online friend in face-space for the first time? In what circumstances?
I flew to London for a meet up with bronzers in Cardiff, Wales. First friend I met in person was a kid named Simon with the most incomprehensible Welsh accent. We met at Paddington Station and went straight to a pub and got shit faced drunk.

Nora -- I think the guy I knew from before was Jerry Boyajian, come to think of it, whom I also knew from online in rec.arts.comics back in the 80s.

Why is my state nuts?
BLACK JACK, Mo. - The city council has rejected a measure allowing unmarried couples with multiple children to live together, and the mayor said those who fall into that category could soon face eviction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
From the totally mundane news of the day file, I think I may skip my frozen TJs meal for another day, and order a quesadilla from the Mexican place down the road. That way I get to walk outside, and have cheese.
