This had me thinking back to the first time I met internet friends, cloudtrader and inkwraith, who I'd known on LJ for a couple years, but I hadn't seen any pictures of them and Katie and I flew to San Diego to go to Comic Con with them and share a hotel room! It was crazy. They were so sweet but it was extra crazy cos I had no idea what to expect at all.
Hehe, I don't know if I'd have the guts to call someone that I met online. I'm not a good phone conversation person. IMing is really different - sometimes I think about that, what it would be like to chat out loud with the people I'm type-chatting with. I did telephone roommate!Corey as soon as I got her number - they gave us each other's email addresses so i sent her this whole "here's what I'm like" email, and she responded and gave me her number and I called her IMMEDIATELY. XD She was all "whoa!" And when I'm nervous, like I said in the entry, I talk fast. XD
Aww, I think if we met you'd also be dismayed at my English ability. XD If you have an accent I should slow down my rate of speech naturally, though - at least, I did in England. You should still visit me in New York. :D
