Ever meet a "chat friend"?
Believe me, it was one of the hardest things I'd ever done...
The first one I ever met was Brianna, known as "Liz" online. Haven't seen her in a long time, but she is a wonderful person, and made a deep impact on me.

Next was Keith, known as "Kaa". We met out for dinner in February of 1998, so that he could convince me to come to the party that was destined to become known as "Gropefest '98" in Ageless. He succeeded, (how could I refuse someone so charming?) and so my next meeting was something I'll never forget.
I shook for days prior to the party - I was so scared to meet all of these people. I met Cecile ("Artemis") first, near the party, so that I wouldn't be alone when I got there. When we arrived, Keith and Ted ("Chinman") met us at the door. We went in and met all the rest of them... "Leia", "Kristina", "Deseray Goddess", "Mee", "Drummer", "Rodeo", "Tempest", "Red Lucy", "Annee-Mee", "G-Money" and Mary, and later, "Agent 99" came by, and "Big Idea" dropped in for awhile. We had a good time, and no one was as scary as I'd imagined.
On April 17, 1998, I met one of my best friends - "bitchin", who came to California! To see a "topless" pic of b, go to my Photo Album! Read about our vacation! We had a GREAT time, met some other chatter friends - Kaa, Artemis, Sparky, and Lie2Me - did the "tourist" thing... Saying goodbye was so hard... but we know we'll talk often, thanks to MSN chat!
On October 3,1998, I went to meet Ms. Jonsey and got her addicted to my favorite thing - CANDLES! She came down for the weekend on October 17th to meet Assassin and some others - Penelopi and her fiance came to visit too! Talk about hitting it off! We felt like we'd known each other forever!
On October 24, we went to Las Vegas to see two of my favorite people get married. We shared a room with Kaye and Ms. Jonsey. Chrysti was a bridemaid for Artemis as she became Kaa's bride. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great reception. We shared a table with Joe and Leia, Chinman, and Tempest, and met Chetelu, and MaggieMay. Still waiting for a pic to post!!
On October 10, 1998, my cyber-son Assassin came to visit! We didn't get much chance to sight-see since he came in sick and left Chrysti and I sick, but he said he enjoyed his trip anyway!
The first week of December, 1998, I went south to meet Molly (no, she didn't wear pj's... but then again, neither did I!) I introduced her to PartyLite, and she loves them too!
On February 27, 1999, I was honored to attend the wedding of Joe and Jeannine (aka "Leia") along with many other online friends. The only one I met for the first time was Kaye's new husband, Richard. It was a pleasure to see her so happy, and to catch up with all of the others there. The wedding was beautiful, and I can honestly say it was the first wedding where I shed tears.
