I met my current love 15 years ago on a BBS, and we've been together most of that time. Playing online games I've met people from around the world as well, and loved every minute of it. You give me new reasons to love you all the time, you wonderful crazy fabulous lady! :) YAY for MUSHes and MOOs and BBSs and the like.

But, thank you all for the lovely comments. It is funny, but when I first started out interacting heavily on the 'net, I was playing roleplaying games on MUSHes (way back in the day before Everquest and the like--it was all text back then) and my rl friends used to tease Zak and I about our "imaginary friends." But I made friends from all over the world that way. And then, I started interacting on message boards, and made other friends from all over--and some of these folks are still quite close to me, a decade or more on. I've met them in the flesh, visited with them, cooked dinner for them, gone to festivals together, and well, generally, just been friends--and they are just as "real" as my "real life" friends. And then I started blogging... And the wheel turns and the virtual world brings me new friends, and it is all beautiful--and real. That is the best part of the Internet. It brings humanity together in a way that is amazing to me. It reminds me that underneath all of our supposed differences, we are linked on a very fundamental basis by our humanity. And that is a beautiful thing. Wow–I had no idea that Kat was becoming such a celebrity! But, thank you all for the lovely comments.

I just love her facial expressions so much. Barbara, you do such a great job of conveying her vibrant personality and I really enjoy hearing about your family.

I've taken to showing her picture around the office as she is so cute - after my business partner (father of three cute kids) asked who the cute baby on my browser was.
