NoJoMo 7 – Online Friends

<— another entry that way —- Ok.. so playing weekend catch up.  

Challenge # 7 – Write an entry about online friends you have met in real life.

Well first off, I have never been big on meeting people with out meeting them in real life situations.  It was odd to think you could trust someone on the phone/ internet before meeting in real life.

I am going back for this one — AOL. My friend Sarah got AOL and it was so cool, cause my computer was a black and white dos pc.  So her having this dial-up technology was just.. AWESOME! So anyways, I created my first ever AOL name:  Sp0rtch1c  (Anyone guessing that I was a tom boy much?).  Sarah and I would take turns talking to people (boys) online and flirting or whatever 14/15 year olds do.  I started talking to "MrEnwabos" Now.. being young I SO didn’t understand that name, but w/e.  So we talked all the time online, and a few weeks later, we started to talk on the phone. He lived a few suburbs over from me.  We were "online" dating. He was my boyfriend, and I his girl. We decided we were going to meet up. Sarah was talking to his friend Vince, and I was talking to Kev.  So the boys meet Sarah, Nicholle, and I at a local school.  Kev was all about me in person too, Vince wanted Nicholle INSTEAD of Sarah. So there was drama. The boys made it, finally, so all of us being nervous, decided to go to this wooded area that not many people knew about. it was like 1.5 mile walk. We walked there. Kev held my hand and we talked. it was so cute… but then BUSTED. Here comes Sarah’s dad PISSED OFF! He met the boys, who btw were like 1-2 years older then us. Kevin was 1 year older then me and Vince same age as Kevin, was 2 years older then Sarah.  So her dad totally kills the moment and advises the boys to leave, and then we get yelled at for hours, and grounded, and taken off aol. 

It was a month before either of us had internet/phone rights again.  (He told my Parents too)… so when we finally got the ok. Kev and Vince had moved on. Kev and I talked for a couple weeks, but it was completely different. Our romance was over… lol.

NOW if I meet people, from online or w/e, I am only doing it to meet new people and friends. I have learned that its never a good idea to get crushes on people you meet online; a good friendship vs a POSSIBLE (if at all) hookup… Good Friendship wins.
