meet my oldest internet friend

I am a college freshman with a full and busy life and lots of good friends. But when I was barely 10 or 11 I changed schools and I was lonely a lot. I spent a lot of my time on this online journalling website; something like a precursor to myspace but it was more geared towards writing instead of exhibitioning yourself to strangers (nothing against myspace). I met a lot of people but one friend in particular I spoke to almost daily for years, who was my closest friend and confidant for much of my adolescence. We have talked about meeting and we have sworn to include the other in our weddings but we rarely talk anymore and its not uncommon for a year or so to go by with no contact. lately she contacted me to say that she was having a baby! She is coming to Florida where i will get to see her in person. She feels like a long lost friend though rather than someone I have never laid eyes on.
