It all started back in April when mom
and me.
met Kris.
(who's blog is down right now).
They became friends through their blogs and outside their blogs.
Mom introduced Kris to Eefers
who mom knew through Frank (who has no blog). Now Kris and Eefers are friends through their blogs and have hung out a few times outside their blogs.
This is when it starts to get interesting. Kris's ex-boyfriend Vinnie
or lets call him (Vin) has been some one that mom has been hearing about and reading his Blog since April. Last night she met him for the first time and it was like her already knew him. She not only knew all of is back story because of Kris. But she has been reading all of his thoughts and posts for like 3 months.
Another funny equation in the mix is Todd.
Now he seemed pretty random to mom for a while. But he started commenting on all our blogs and has a blog of his own, and Mom found out that he is an old school friend of Vin's though they live in different places now. Todd is visiting NYC from Atlanta this week. Mom met him last night and they suprised eachother with how much they knew about one another.
[Just a funny side bar, Eefers had a party on Friday that mom was not able to attend. At this party came Kris, Vin , Todd, And "Mr. Random"
Mr. Random Aka. Daniel, is now a mutual friend of Eefers and Kris (he was met through blogging and Friendster by them) and he has a blog of his own. Mom has not met Mr. Random Yet but when that day comes all will be clear.]
So to wrap up the world of blogging is weird. And sometimes it's not. It is interesting to see what happens when people come out from behind their computers and meet in person. It is usually fine, but people have pre decided idea's of who you are supposted to be. And others hate the format in which you write your blog (vin hates that I refer to mom as mom) and others get over the internet to real life hurtle with out a bat of an eye.
Now I know the connections of people talking and knowing people through the internet and blogs was already discussed a while back on Miss Kris, but I think it is interesting when everyone meets, that's a whole new level.

Miss Kris still refers to me as "Mr. Random" even when hanging out in the actual physical world.
Well, i can't help it, that what I call you behind your back.
Now I call you Mr. Random, too.
So, there's another blog-o-sphere crazy story that might appear on eefers Thursday morning. It started with a blog and will continue b/c of Drinking Liberally. We'll actually, it started with the NY Post, continued over blogs and will continue at Commonwealth yet again. (I just typed agay and had to go back and fix that, funny.)
