Mysterious Stranger...

Published on May 31, 2006 By Texas Wahine In Blogging

I've emailed with many JoeUsers. I've IM'ed with quite a few. I've even spoken over the phone with many of my JU friends. There are some JUs that to me feel like dear friends that I've known for years and years. It's always so special to getting to know a JU friend a little better. Email is fun. IMing is great. I LOVE to hear the voices of friends I've bantered with on JU for more than a year now.

None of those can top meeting a JoeUser pal in real life, though. That's an entirely different animal.

Yesterday my family and I had the opportunity to spend several hours with a JoeUser that I've long admired and considered a friend. This person is witty with a wicked sense of humor, immensely talented and creative, about as sharp as they come, and just so happens to be quite a hottie as well!

I feel so lucky to have met this JoeUser, and my husband and I had a great time chatting with him and a couple members of his family. His family is fascinating and too fun for words. They are sincerely incredible people. It was a very positive experience.

And it's always good when you meet someone and they turn out NOT to be axe murderers, hehe.

It's interesting meeting someone you've only known through words on a screen or the odd posted photo because people are so much more than that. It's fun to hear them talk and observe their mannerisms and soak in their laugh and just experience what it's like to know them as a person rather than a screen name. Exciting!

I'd love to go into more detail, but I won't since this is only a teaser.

So....Texas Wahine + Mysterious Stranger = My First JoeUser RL Meeting!

I know who it is...but I won't tell.

That is awesome that you got to meet someone from here and they didn't kill you! Woo Hoo.

Well, I will be in Kaui in November......

I don't think that is close to where you are though.

I was wondering how many people might have caught on already!

And yeah he's good enough to eat, like chocolate

Nice.

little whip:

Hmmmmm, now I gotta go read all these male blogs to find out who it is?

Hahahaha...at least one person is curious!

(and dayum, them knockers are gettin huge, haha)

Geez, I know it! That's a maternity top, believe it or not, and I didn't realize until much later how much "on display" the goods were. You would think my husband would clue me in on something like that.

I know who it is...but I won't tell.

We really had a fun time. I didn't expect NOT to, but when you've never met someone before, you can't really know for sure how much awkward silence there will be, lol!

Well, I will be in Kaui in November...... I don't think that is close to where you are though.

Gosh, Kelly, I would so love to meet you. I'm definitely jealous about Kauai!

If I was a better swimmer I could go meet up with you perhaps, hehe.

PS - This is one of the few pics you guys will ever see of me smiling! I *hate* the way I look when I smile!!

We all hate the way we look when we smile, but everyone tell us we look wonderful when we smile, go figure!

Btw, you look wonderful when you smile

Tex you look beautiful smiling.

I am the same way though. When I smile, if it is a real smile I am squinty. If it is a fake smile, well then it looks fake.

Brandie,

What a grand adventure! Meeting new folks is always fun. You seem to be glowing in your picture. Take care of the family, and keep in touch.

P.S. Is this mysterious stranger single? (ha, ha!)

I am glad that you had a great first meeting with your JU pal (I'm thinking I might know who it is...but then again, maybe not).

My b/f and I met a good online friend last year. We had known her for several years before our meeting. We were all a bit nervous, of course, but we ended up getting along wonderfully. We talked for hours at the restaurant we met up at and enjoyed each others' company immensely. She turned out to be as warm and friendly as she was online.

It was a wonderful experience.

Brandie..

I have no idea who it was you met up with, but having been on one meetup with a cyberbuddy, I agree, they are fun!!!

Once again though, I see a pic of you that looks different than any other I have seen of you. All of them are beautiful!! I think this is my favorite pic of all though.

I didn't realize until much later how much "on display" the goods were. You would think my husband would clue me in on something like that.

But then he wouldn't get to see the display, either.

I want to know too. I also want to go to Hawaii but I guess that isn't happening anytime soon. One of my good friends is a Marine wife and she said I could come and stay there but now they're fixing to move to Quanitco, so I think I missed my chance. Someday.
