I almost met sweeny once

She was on a romantic type weekend at Niagra Falls and I was there with 2 rowdy teens so we passed ( I am a chicken ! )

She was the 1st orger I talked to on the phone with too

I have not met any orgers

and only talked to 2 on the phone

and texted with Supa

wow it's amazing to think that..u seem so at home with so many of them

Early days I was very anxious to keep you all at arms length I turned down talking to ace when he offered to call me, it creeped me out thinking of all these little talking avatars as REAL people!
Retina finally wore me down enough to give in and talk to him on the phone (I WAS SO NERVOUS!!! my heart was racing as I dialled his number) he definitely crossed the line into my real life. After him I let down my guard a bit and talked to quite a few people - not as hard or strange as I thought!
I met ocean and missmad first, and kylie texts me on my MOBILE PHONE so she is nearly a real live person to me
I met phil & val, marion, petra, retina & manki
I am planning to meet up with more when the opportunity presents itself, hopefully sextonseven next year and anyone else in NY that week
I would dearly love to meet NDRU he is sooooo nice, JustErin over a few drinks, I want to dance with TC and kiss Ivy. I want to take the photos when TB & JF get married

With me I guess IB was the first person to cross from org friend to IRL friend.
I think she was the first person I talked to on the phone. Because when I first signed up in 2003 I stayed in P&R I just used the site to debate. I never intended to make friends here.

The second person I talked to on the phone was EWM since we disagreed usually ONLY about politics, we agreed that politics was off limits on the phone.

Then ages ago I was in the chat and somehow bumped into JerseyRS..happened to mention where I lived because I was sulking about missing a Prince concert close by. We found out that we lived close so we decided to meet up for a drink.
He warned me about getting involved in any orgers. (I admitted my secret crush on Phil ).

Then a few ppl decided to cross over into my real life from the org that I really did not invite. Thankfully most of them have apologised or moved on to someone else's business.

I learned a hard lesson through all of that time, though I had already decided to keep myself guarded and only talk to very few ppl IRL, I learned that ppl will make your business theirs if they can find a way.

I have talked to Supa, Sweeney and Byron on the phone. All very kind and considerate ppl with sexy voice too I might add.

Then the second orger I met has become the most important part of my life and someone I love more than anything. I have loved this man since some time in 06' when we began talking as friends. Words cannot describe how much I love him and care for him. He has been my best friend for a long time and my constant companion through some hard times in my life. I look forward to living every day of my life with him. Though there are days when he can be a spaz, I would not change a thing about him.

After that I met Charlotte, Petra, Marion, which are all lovely women. All of them are beautiful inside and out. I have since had wonderful talks with Petra on the phone. It is great to get to know her better. When I first met her, I really had never interacted with her much.


Before moving over here to the UK, I got to meet Funkmistress. It was a very happy and sad day really. I was so happy to see Chris looking amazingly content & happy, so different from the way that he was when I first met him. I really fell in love with Funkmistress and was sad to think if I was sticking around in Florida,I would have a cool friend to hang out with.

Oh and one of my visits over to the UK I met Predominant and his family. Beautiful peeps that I would most def. call friends IRL now.

I have met Ben and Laurel, both wonderful people and lots of fun to hang out with. Laurel is a beautiful, soft spoken wonderful girl!
I also met Donnie, Ericlito, warm and genuine person.
Oh an then there was Alun.... sweet, caring, generous, soft spoken.

I have met Miguel and spent lots of time site seeing with him. He is a warm and wonderful person. Always smiling and upbeat. Love him!

Then I think lastly, I have Dan.... what more can I say?

I have a few others that are on my wish list.

There are a few that have crossed over into IRL friends that I have only orgnoted and emailed with.
The first one that comes to mind is Serious. I know that I will meet her one of these days. Love her and wish her happiness.

I know there are many more that I love dearly and wish the best for. I guess that is why I am thankful for email. myspace and facebook.
If the org crashes for good some day, I can stll talk to my IRL friends.
I never expected to come here and find ppl that I would genuinely care about.
I guess that is the beauty of this place.

I've met many orgers in real life, and I can easily say that I have fond memories of all of them.

The ones that have really crossed over into real life are:

Hamsterhuey - I contacted him here directly some 5 years ago, I had 2 free tickets for a concert of The Strokes here in Amsterdam. Since most of my 'real' friends don't dig most of my musical taste, I decided to find someone here who would appreciate going to this show. Herman's appearance on this site has always been enjoyable to me, his mix of humor and true Dutch sarcasm combined with the fact that he is a true music-buff has always been appealing to me. We clash in many, many things due to our many differences (hey, the man is GHEY!!! ), yet we always seem to find our crossroads and those is true and quite enjoyable. I'm happy to call him my friend and we've been to many many concerts together!

Muse/Karen - I admit, before I met her I thought she was a freak from what I had seen of her on this crazy site. We never really interacted and I wasn't aware of the hidden essence that this crazy site really has. I had missed Karen in Amsterdam, I was not in town when she was here. After that, Herman told me about her, telling me that he was sure that we would get along very well. I finally met her at the London Invasion, some 2 years ago. Herman was right, Karen & I clicked immediately and we were almost inseperable during the whole weekend ( no assumptions, folks!). Her outrageous character and pure sweetness is mesmerizing. She's larger than life, and that's the way I like it! Later in 2006, I was on the phone with her, discussing my dilemma of what to do during my X-mas vacation, she mentioned coming to Cali.....what she didn't realize was that during our phone-conversation I had booked my flight to LA.... What followed was probably one of my best trips to the US! Karen proved to be really the genuine person I already thought she was. She has been a great great host to me and we share so many good times together, including 2 unforgettable nights in Vegas with Prince. Also, through her I was able to meet many many other orgers, including a.o. Madartista.....another great guy!
It's been more than 1.5 years since I've seen Karen, but we stay close in any way possible, but mostly through the org. That's one of the reasons for me why it is so hard (or, impossible) to leave this site..... I know that I will see Karen again in some space & time, and we'll be cool.....because that's what we are!!

Nick/Fauxie - Eventhough we've seen eachother only for one day, it has been unforgettable. It is just crazy to come to think of it: I travelled to the other side of the world, Bangkok, stepped off the plane and next day I was strolling that great city with Nick and his lovely wife Mon. This one of the things the org can do for you!!! Believe me it is fun!
Nick is exactly what you expect him to be: cool, very nice and wellspoken, extremely funny! I am looking forward to seeing him again!

High on my list:

ocean/Kylie: over the last 6 months or so, Kylie has proven to me to be a great great, great friend. Extremely funny and very caring! We orgnote when we can and I know she's there if I should need her to be for whatever reason. She is probably my number 1 on my 'wanna meet'-list! And I know for sure, one day we will meet!
Besides all that.....she's also extremely hawt!

Ok, and this one is funny and even shocking myself.....I am actually looking forward to meeting eikonoklastes at some day.....
Yes, I kinda loathed him during his Joeycoco-days, but recently I find him to be extremely funny and wellspoken in his posts....I believe 'extreme' is a word to decribe hime, but not in a stupid way! We're both kinda shocked at realizing this, but to me this is true! He lives in rotten Rotterdam ( ), not too far away....maybe someday! ( dude, it's okay....you can go and bash me if you like!)





fuck, this is one of the longest posts I've writtenin a long time!

Orgers have become an integral part of my life... they make up quite a chunk of the very closest of people to me. The first ones I met are not orgers as such although they do have accounts still. the biggest regrets and most hurtful lessons have also involved orgers, one in particular, and I'm thankful even for that because even though it's taken a long time I've learnt from it.
then there are those handful that will be there in the end including dre, Alice, Alun and Ellie. they will ALWAYS be a huge piece of my heart even though they're so far away.

So, yeah, orgers have made only the hugest impact and cross-over on me and my life
