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!

Well, ya know...you AND tex both have that opportunity where I'm concerned. It's not like I could get away with giving you bogus directions to my house or anything (LOL!)
