i guess its our shared past that makes the whole experience that much more magical

Fauxie said:

I'm always interested to meet new people at any time, and the fact that I have already interacted with people when I have met them from this site makes it more interesting to meet them.

Saying that, it's not in my nature to enthuse over meeting people from this site. You say "I will surely be in the UK sometime within the next year, and I would dearly love to meet you. I can't identify with that, really.. but that's just me.

I have absolutely no doubt that it is possible to meet online people in real life and to form lasting relationships with them, and of course I don't have a problem with it happening. I just don't feel the whole 'desire to do it' thing.

not foolish at all. no sirree. maybe it's just me but i've often thought we ORGers should all donate tissue samples, mix then together, gestate them and and make a combi-clone-person so there'd be someone who carries all of our genetic characteristics.

Ok, to qualify, I just feel sometimes that there's a connection I'd like to pursue further. You and I, for example, have only interacted on this website. I would like to have a beer with you, and should I end up in the UK sometime in the near future and there's a little meet-up maybe that will have happen. I don't mean that I want to be best friends with everyone here. There are people who I would dearly love to meet though, based on the extra little interactions here and there. I'm a realist, and I know I won't get to meet even half the people on here that I wish I could, but it was how I was feeling so I started the thread. I wouldn't want for extra friends were I never to have met these people here, but I have met them, and that's how I feel.

Alright, for anyone who might make use of it, my e-mail is npr2005@gmail.com. Say hi if you've time and let me know what you're up to.

Goodnight all, it's past midnight and I have to be up early tomorrow to catch the sunrise.

you just want to my bestest friend don't you i know

On a serious note, if you want to get to know people around here better, it's not hard at all... Just ask them about themselves...a sincere "How are you feeling today" will do wonders, I've found. I found a very close friendship with Sweeny simply because I noticed a post of hers in which she seemed down, and I sent her an orgnote saying "Are you ok? "...next thing we knew, we were talking. *smile*

Muse and I were talking on the phone the other day, about how wild and amazing it is that this place has truly become a community, and not just a collection of anonymous posts made by a collection of anonymous posters. I've experienced some amazingly beautiful moments and connections due to being able to discover people out of the blue here...and this massive L.A. "Invasion" almost seems unreal. It's becoming next to impossible to continue seeing the screen names around here as just screen names. I've experienced too many orgers in person for that to still be my reality. I've seen them laugh, watched them cry...a few have even watched me cry. I've been in some of their homes and some have been in mine...I've been effected by their physical energy, took in their body language...everything. And I feel like I've made a beautiful core of true friends/connections as a result.

Go for it..

oh i totally agree with that

although i try not to talk to muse she is abusive towards my little brummyisms

Fauxie said:

I know what you mean. And yes, it's plausible and possible. In some ways it can be a bit different than 'real life' friendships, but in many ways, it's really not. I find friendships with folks here ebb and flow like my real life ones do. There are times you're closer and more connected, and times you drift apart. There are the people you like to joke around with but don't really feel like seeing more than once in a while, and those you really connect with.
I don't think it's intruding to want a bit more, unless of course its clear that the other person is put out by it. But that's true of any friendship. Even here (or anywhere online), I find it quite organic. It flows the way that just feels natural.
All in all, I think most of us get what you're saying. I guess it depends on if your 'friends' are willing to give the same. Won't know if you don't try. My guess is most people will. As in my experience, most people do.

Nick, I love you in a nonhomosexual way.

I swear to God, I have to replace my motherboard on my PC and my Internet service goes out for a few days, and I have to come back to this sappy hippy lovin' bullshit.

Fauxie, snap out of it and stop being such a pussy, dumbass!




See ya in April 2006. Wear that nasty little frock I bought ya.

Fauxie said:

Fauxie said:

Damn- Smart, Sexy and Kind- You are quite the package Fauxie!!
It would be cool if we all could meet at the same time. Wouldn't that be a party??

Yeah, laugh it up. You won't be laughing when you're buried under my driveway.

starkitty said:

You always know the right things to say.

p.s. Great hair!

shanti0608 said:

Smart and kind, perhaps, but sexy too? I'm printing this post out and framing it.

Yes, it would be quite a party. I wonder what we'd talk about.

XxAxX said:

You too?



Could you send me a couple of hairs and a mouth swab?

A little blood would be even better.

If anyone out there needs any of my semen just send me a note.

Byron said:

I agree with what you said and it is amazing just how much of an impact we have one eachother's lives, after all it's just a website right?

It's always great to meet folks from here

Fauxie said:

Don't know, maybe you just don't give people a chance. Hell, I live in your home town and you didn't wanna meet me!

BananaCologne said:

I regret that. I'm a very shy person so to be honest it's not easy for me. I do want to meet orgers though. I'm sorry I was a little cold about it. It wasn't my intention to be so. I have a habit of appearing distant and indifferent sometimes when I'm just shy.

Fauxie said:

Ok, yes I would.
It would be so cool if we could go out for wings and beer on Friday evenings and bitch about our weeks and stuff. THere are a few orgers (not many) that I would like to get to know better.

Fauxie said:

Well.... I'm still sulking about it, my friends say I haven't been the same since.

So... neeeerrrrr!

Seriously, all joking aside, I was SO made up to find out (by chance if I remember correctly) that someone who frequented the Org lived in my home town - and it all fell apart like a souffle in an oven. So it was a bit of a knockback. But to be fair, I also don't think your were posting much back then anyway, and now we can't get rid of ya so...
