Is it wrong to want to be more to you than Fauxie from prince.org? For the UK based orgers, Lolly, Natisse, Red I will surely be in the UK sometime within the next year, and I would dearly love to meet you. Still, I feel like I want to know you better even before meeting you. For the others, all around the world, is it naive, foolish, laughable even, that I wish I could meet you and know you better and feel absolutely justified in calling you friends?

AsianBomb I shall meet in Bangkok sometime next year, but how about you Jers? Mach? Raijuan/DeRon? And many more. I wish I could know all of you more. Is that soppy and futile? This prince.org is a blessing of a bittersweet nature sometimes.

i feel the same Fauxie babe

nope not silly but smart

not strange at all

hey hun


having met many orgers i class quite a lot as "friends" and i don't even associate the org with them any longer.



to meeting up

It's a shame isn't it? I care for some people here like I care for my long-time friends, and yet I feel like a bit of a fraud at times, or perhaps more so a fool. I want them to know I care, and yet I know what we share together is really based on very little. That is what I want to put right. And I want to know them, what they like, what they think about things, what their mannerisms are, how they laugh, what they drink, how they speak...

No it is not strange to want to see me naked!

It's not wrong nor futile but maybe a little soppy.
I've met lots of people here in person. People who I now definitely can call friends (and in the case of one person, much more than that.) But even before I met people in person, there are a few I got to know on a much deeper level than just joking around on the forums. The connections are what's kept me here so long. And though some may not feel that way, for me the connections are very real.

Of course! I worried when posting this thread that I would forget people so I tried to keep it short. That only emphasises my point. There are 20 or so people here that I call friends and yet feel like a fraud doing so since I don't even mention some of them on a thread like this. It's not from not caring, but this is a website and the names escape me at times. There are people whose comments I laugh at, and I appreciate them, but there are people I really care about and give thought too even when I'm not here. Those people I wish to be able to call friends, to know, to be justified in calling them friends and for them to know me and think likewise. Is that silly?

why can't you stop being such a bitch

Fauxie said:

You can call me friend...Ive always thought of you as one If you want my new addy we can write since I wont be online much until I can get a PC...

ShySlantedEye1 said:

Like I haven't seen that. Sure, I was without binoculars for a time there, but I was your official stalker for a while remember.

lollyp0p said:

I agree, to an extent. Your bricks betray your love for me.

NatisseG said:

and to add...Nick I must admit that I haven't got to know you very well yet but you are MOST DEFINATELY someone whos personality shines through

Fauxie said:

i think you are adorable hun....

lollyp0p said:

because I had SUCH a wonderful, bright and lovely teacher

CarrieMpls said:

Yes, it's admittedly and unashamedly soppy, now that I feel the courage of my convictions.

You understand what I mean though, right? I feel like I'm intruding if I wish for more than the odd orgnote or occasional chat on yahoo, but is that so bad? I know people have their lives to live, their old friends to interact with, but I sincerely want to know how they are, what they're doing. I want to be friends in the original sense, before all this internet nonsense. Is that plausible? Possible?

Fauxie said:

Have you given up already?

Right on, right on...

NatisseG said:

Thanks, I feel the same way. I wish to change that. I just don't want to be presumptuous or to intrude.

NatisseG said:

that was almost the nicest compliment ever

lollyp0p said:

U know, Ocean throws a pretty good brick these days, and unfortunately she was a little put out when it just didn't do it for me, but there is a knack to it, and you've got it.

Fauxie said:

thats the thing tho...I can only speak for myself of course but you're most definately not intruding

you're a special guy and I think next year will be awesome when we can all finally have a laugh and get together for real

ShySlantedEye1 said:

Not at all. My signature said as much a couple of days ago. I'm just updating my equipment. I think video is necessary.

p0procks said:

gonna leave work now hon and get something to eat then I'll call you probably in about an hour and a half

Fauxie said:

I agree. I think I will finally break down and hook up the cam!
