So, I went home yesterday, and the weirdest thing happened.

My girlfriend was freelanced out to a friend of ours online, whom we play the online game Guild Wars with. She worked for about 3 hours, sent him her writing.

Well, to pick up her money, we actually had to meet him.

It was a surreal experience. Someone who I have seen pictures of, but never heard his voice, only seen his avatar and typing online...I met in person. It's so...odd. I've known him for about a year and a half, but finally meeting him, even though he has lived only about an hour away from the college...It's so strange.

I mean, I've had something like that happen, where a friend of my girlfriend's who she had talked to for years decided to drop by while on his trip around the country, that was kinda odd. Showed up at the door with his backpack, after telling us the week before he would be in the area...Surreal. He was a pretty cool guy, though, glad he spent the weekend.

But, back to my friend. He's almost exactly as I pictured him. A middle-aged surfer dude, father of a few girls, pretty laid back. Exactly as I had imagined him in my head.

Anyway, have any of you met anyone you've only known online?
