Forum Friendships in Real Life

Everyone who isn't a complete asshole has "friends" here, or at least aquaintances, ya know... you have on going jokes with them, pay them special attention, talk to them offline, etc, etc, etc... anyhow... a thought that came to me heard about a minute ago... "How would these relationships change if these people were actually here?". Lets say your best forum friends or aquaintances were actually there, living in your community, a person you know in real life... what would be different? (It depends on the person, ofcourse... but still ... in general?)...

I myself am having a hard time figuering this one out, it does depend on the person.. but... ya know... I know I would still endlessly flirt with Jess, but other than that... I would probably still be friendly and open and so... but it would be odd to actually see people from this forum sit quietly... used to only seeing you people while you talk around here ...

It would truly be interesting though...

Your thoughts?

 

My few online friends are some of the closest friends i have in the Universe, they have been with me through my bleakest days and I theirs...I think I would just be unable to stop hugging them.

 

I'm a complete asshole and I have friends here.. some people actually enjoy my dry, self centered wit

 

You're an asshole with a good heart, you have an excuse

 

well i know a few forumers in real life..some i knew 1st others i met here 1st
& theres at least a dozen whove called me a few times
it was all just perfectly normal everyday hangin out
except there was a slight temptation when hangin with gruvenmamma420 to walk up say hi im soaring eagle from the forums, ive seen you naked before there so thought id say hi..lol
ofcourse i didnt..lol but wasin a silly mood so was tempted to..
in fact 1 forumer moved to 2 blocks from me ..still hsavent gotten around to gettin together tho

wish more ppl would drop by

 

double post

 

Wow that was a double post

 

Soaring Eagle, I'd visit you, yessir. We would talk about the big big sky above us.

 

i enjoy your signature. thats all that counts really.

 

well, if i met anyone from HF in real life..it wouldn't change a thing. I'd still think that they are the most amazing people i have ever met in my life.
i wouldn't trade them for the world. and that includes everyone!!
=]

 

Some people might be surprised that I come off much more stoic and measured much of the time.

I'm a lot of fun in real life though, and I assume I'd get alone with the people who I get along with on here in real life pretty well.

Some people might be a little shocked that I'm a jamaican photosexual in the real world, while I play a humble Irish pervert online.

 

Also I'd lick Indian Summers face.

 

well if we're just gonna talk about the sky for hours ya better bring a big ol bag of buds

 

I'm actually quite boring in R/L... meeting me would be anticlimactic.

 

I'm pretty much the same in real life as I am online...whatever that is.

 

Pavel, I don't know what happened to you, but recenty you've become charming and relatable. I like it!

 

I've met George (Orsino2), he actually chilled up here at my place for a month last summer, and I'll be hanging out with him at bonnaroo in june.

Having him around in person really wasn't all that different.

 

I would want to meet Annie if she ever moves here and am going to meet Chris tihis summer. I've met Andy (crummyyummy) from here and he was really charming and funny in person and smelled good!

 

I spent something like four hours on the internet last night looking for jobs in SoCal, you know...

It'll happen...hopefully in August...I found a kids' camp in Ventura County that is right up my alley

We should just move in together

 

I always wonder what everyone's voices sounds like... What if instead of typing we started recording ourselves?
I think if we all hung out it would be one big huge party and I think *most of us* would get along rather well. I've never met, or even called, anyone I've met online, and the whole concept is pretty crazy to me, it's like, taking a big step or something..
