I don’t distinguish much between my face friends and my internet friendships. Sometimes I communicate more with my internet friends.

I also like “internet weirdos.”

Fortunately, they’re not mutually exclusive.

“Score one for the humans”?

I don’t know about everyone else, but my internet buddies claim to be humans, and the few who’ve bled over into RL (real life) have turned out to be just that.

Whether online or in RL aren’t we all just striving for that good old human contact and connectivity?

(My 70 y/o parents are totally freaked out by this and call everyone I know online “internet weirdos”, which is hilarious since I socialize almost exclusively with other writers.)
