Have you ever met someone you felt you knew for a long, long time, but really only knew them online? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hang out with another blogger? Have you ever Skyped, emailed and bonded simply through today's technology yet never physically been in the presence of someone you consider your 'friend'?
Jamie from Glam Latte and I 'met' over two years ago after discovering each others blogs. We became Internet friends fast and blog comments turned to emails and emails turned to Skyping and last week that turned into meeting in person. She tells the story so much better than I, but I have to say it was so great finally meeting my BBFF (best blogger friend for-evah; yes, we are that cheesy and we love it). It was a fluke and the stars aligned or something, but it happened. We had lunch, chatted for hours, and got one picture (ha!).
Have you ever met a blog friend?
Great Post.. Seems like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteLots love
That is so cool. I haven't met any of my blog friends or any of the girls I currently work with through Skylar. I am hoping to get to do that someday though. I already feel like I've known them forever. I hope to make lots of friends through this whole experience. I think that's what's so neat about it, seeing how people are brought together. It's cool how even though someone lives so much farther away from you, there's a connection, just like you have with your real life BFF. That is so cool you got to meet yours. Remember when it was considered lame to have friends on the Internet or you were considered a loser. I'm glad that is not the case anymore. Although, you have to be cautious, you can meet some great people.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! I have a special issue coming up in July and part of it is going to be about BFF's, I would love to feature you and Jamie, if you are interested. I think it would be cool to do a segment about BBFF's.
Well, just stopping by to see what's been happening on your blog.
Have an awesome day!

Super fun meeting bloggy-friends isn't it? I flew down (from Ontario) to California last August, to spend some quality time with a few girls I've known on the internet for ages. We're all not BBFF's or anything but just good friends. It was definitely a fun experience.

ReplyDeleteNot really. I wish I could meet a BBFFF! hahah! You guys sound like you have a lot of fun together!
