first meeting

Saturday, July 22, 2006

Today I met my very first Internet friend, Pam, in "real life". We met for coffee in Champaign. It is the weirdest thing to get to know someone purely online and then finally meet them. I was so excited to really place a face and voice to Pam. I felt a little nervous like I was set up on a blind date except that I really already knew the person.

Pam was so sweet...very soft-spoken and nice. Her voice totally fits her and of course I felt like such a loud mouth. We chatted for almost two hours and I think we could have just kept right on talking for another two. We've already set up another "date" but we're going to include our husbands next time. I am already looking forward to that and so glad that we were finally able to meet. Thanks for meeting up with me, Pam...I had a great time!
