Meet my online friends

I met my friend from Amsterdam two weeks ago. We’ve been talking online for four years, so he’s a pretty good friend. And it wasn’t weird meeting him at all – it seemed completely natural.

He was staying in London, so I went over there, and ended up sleeping on the floor in his hostel. After two days we spent together, we thought it might be another year before we met again. I was having some problems a few days later, and went over there to spend another night, ending up taking him to the airport.

Exactly a week after meeting him, I flew out to Holland, and spent a whole week in his house. I think any more time than that would have driven us crazy.

I’d love to meet my other online friends soon, now.

A friend from Amsterdam is coming over this summer, so that will be a start! There’s many more I’d like to meet, though.

I’ve not yet met the person I’ve come to consider to be my best friend for the last two years, or more. I thought I would have by now, but fate has gone in a different direction :P

But, seriously, now I really feel I should go over there. Most importantly, because he’s going to Iraq in October, and I will never forgive myself if I don’t meet him. I have a job now, I’m saving like crazy, and plenty of annual leave to get myself over there for a week or so.

I’m terrified I won’t be able to make it happen, because everything I’ve really wanted, and been supposedly in control of, for the last couple years, hasn’t worked out the way I planned. But, hey, all I can do is try my hardest.
