@wordsmith Oh, I’m just meaning that you’re just on the level of acquaintance with me that most people are on here. I mean, the only people I’ve talked to extensively not on here is Mariposa, Hope, Corissa, and Kate, and I go to church with Hope and Corissa. So there’s three groups, really, the ones I only know their names, like Parker, or Scribbles. The ones like you and Erica where I have frequent conversations and am starting to put together your personalities and characters. And then the ones like Hope and Mariposa where we email all the time and have known each other for years.

You’re a mystery in the sense that I’ve only known you for maybe a year and we’ve only done the equivalent of a week or so of constant talking on here. Mysterious in the sense that I know so much about my friends at church, the ones I see every week, that I don’t know about you – what colors you like, how you act around people you don’t like, your favorite foods, movies you love, how you play with kids, whether you like coffee or cocoa, nuance-y things and bigger things that arise from knowing people for years and having weekly conversation with them such as the people I know from church. You often open up and give advice about writing matters and such, but the little details and facts and mannerisms that you discover when in a friendship with someone that you can meet and talk to all the time are missing.

I suppose that’s the worst part of SE. Even if we remain friends and talk for the rest of our lives, if I never meet you guys, I’m never going to know you as well as my friends from church.

Wow. Okay. That was a long explanation.  😀 I tend to ramble on a bit trying to make my point.
