So *that's* what happened to Jax.
Funny that he found it easier to get a girlfriend after he became undead...
Okay, but if it comes back to life again we're renegotiating my squire contract if you want me to help you fight it. God-damned undead. [img]graemlins/boy_hug.gif[/img]

Didn't I take care of you LAST TIME?! sheesh!
All of the online people I've met, EAers, have been "as advertised". Not a clunker in the bunch.
And yes, RL folks did worry about the axe murderer factor in the beginning...but that's years ago now. People are completely used to my "online friends" being real human beings.
It *is* weird, though, taking an online relationship live. You aren't used to pauses, especially when you are message boarding. Pauses threw me off for a while. Nobody is witty 100%...but you can edit when you post. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Andrea
who blabs even more inanities when she speaks...this is edited and thought out
Scary?
I'd reply to this, but I just can't come up with anything right now.

The other weird part of going from online to rl is the name thing. Suddenly switching from calling someone you know as "Jester" to calling them "Jason" is just weird.
Then there's going online to a site where you know someone in rl. You have to switch from calling them "Jason" to "Jester".
There were a few times that I've referred to my rl friend, Redlass, by her online name... to her face...
My husband doesn't go on-line, and when I'm talking to him about "what Eris said today" or how "taurusmoon stole lynnzop's giraffe" or how "wormie is complaining that it's cold because it's 60 degrees in Florida", he just looks at me blankly and walks away. And I've met two of those people and still call them by their screen names when I talk about them [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Heck! I've started calling my own sister by her screen name in RL!!!!
Yeah, hubby gives me strange looks when I call Eris Eris. He's finally figured out who I'm talking about.
I've met lots and lots of online folks in rl. In fact, when I travel on business now, I usually try to combine it with a chance to meet someone I've met online. So far no axe murderers.
So I take it Taurusmoon isn't an axe murderer, Redlass?
