Have any of you ever met in person?

Rae · Dec 12, 2005

I don't believe any of you exist, so of course I can't meet you in person.

Actually, between the high cost of gas and having an extremely busy job, the only way I could go to a meetup would be if it were on a non-weekend day within two hours of me. So I doubt it'll ever happen as long as I work in my current job.

Why are you speaking to yourself? Or myself? Or usself? Gosh, solipsism is confusing.

I havent met anyone from this place but, I wouldnt mind partying with my Jewish peoples.

Rae · Dec 12, 2005

Why not? I like me.

I have seen you mentioning some calamities you went through, but I don´t know the whole story, which you seem to be referring to here.
Glad to hear everythings getting better for you!

Yup.

Well, we'd have quite a band going on. I don't know why but I always tend to find the musicians, hehe. Share a tough life, and you got to be real tough for that to work, practice, work some more, at a loss, and get back on the road. The door is open here if you need a place to stay in NYC to perform. NYC is a blend of business people and artists that keep the business people human.

I was in 9/11 at the WTC, lost just about everyone and everything, and almost died. Then my Dad died and my brother died. Came here just about ready to pull the trigger. I'm going out tonight. First time in years as a practice run before I leave to see a musician friend of mine play. Music is very inspiring in as many ways as the musician is for just still being sane and humane in that hardcore life.

Well I am grateful you are still here. There is still so much more to do.

Music is the language of emotion. So I too became a musician.

Here is one of my songs with me playing guitar and singing.

I've not met anyone from CF... yet. I'm kind of isolated out here in the wild, wild west.

Yeah sometimes its hard living out in the west.

yasic · Dec 12, 2005

No, I am just waiting for myself or somebody to do a regular visit to where we live (not specificly for me or them, but for someone else, we just tag along once there)... but that could be years before anything happens.

Its hard for an 18 year old to arrange a trip half way around the world or anything

Joe, have you heard of Strunz and Farah?

I've met Erin (BigToe) once, since we go to the same college. We had lunch one day and it was pleasant.

It would be fun. You know, get together with Btodd and Danhalen and pic their wallets...

You can have everything in my wallet, just as long as you agree to pay all the bills that go along with it.

Apparently the psychology thing has fallen through, and he wants a head start on becoming a televangelist.

ashley lynne · Dec 12, 2005

No, Ive never met anyone on here. Ive become friends with some of them, but meeting them is just kinda scary to me. :o
This whole online thing scares me sometimes, not sure who I can trust and who I can't. :scratch:

We'll see how it all turns out, Im still pretty new here.

I guess you gotta know what your good at.

I am laughing at the thought of him being a televangelist. "Brothers and Sisters, we are gathered here today to give thanks to this vague theistic force which binds the universe together and some of us like to call JESUS! Can I get an AMEN!!! Now dig in real deep into your pockets to give true thanks to this binding force which offers salvation to all, regardless of their ideologies, for there is no greater way to show your thanks to the great unknown than to dote upon it with monetary suffering!!! AMEN!!!"

The offeratory begins with a song from an indy punk band. The plates to put your money on have Keirkegaard's face painted on them. The ushers are forced to skip down the aisles. It's a fun service actually. Sign me up.

LOL. Yeah, but you'd see him adopt the Hell thing pretty quickly, I think...."You mean I'm ALREADY saved? Nah, I think I'll keep my money then."

There are a couple people wouldn't mind meeting but see no real reason too. I guess I consider internet relationships to be on the internet and don't really see a reason to meet someone in person. If there was some sort of formal gathering for the board I suppose I would consider it but I consider the internet another world really.

I mean, after you met here on GA?
And particularly christians and nonchristians?

I am member of another huge (also american based, but music related) message and discussion board, and occasionally members who frequent the off-topic section (politics, religion, personal matters etc.) organize meetings.
The european faction has had two meetings (in Brussels and Amsterdam), to which even some americans came over. We had a great time together, and it was interesting to get to know those virtual identities in person.

I can honestly say there are a few people I wouldn't mind meeting for lunch/coffee and have a time of just enjoying each others company. It might be a great time to have some laughs about all the topics and discussions. However, there are some here I find kind of scary too. I'll pass on meeting with those dudes. And dudet's .

sparklecat · Dec 12, 2005

Well, we didn't originally meet on CF, but another poster and I met online and started planning to meet up in person while I was still a Christian and he an atheist. We now live together.

There's one other poster here that I met while I was a Christian and he an atheist, but again, didn't meet on CF.

Soul_Searcher · Dec 12, 2005

I wouldn't mind meeting anyone here, but it has not happened as yet. There are a few with whom I developed a cyber-friendship, and some I'd just like to sit and talk with. One never knows what tomorrow may bring.

First I got your gender wrong. Now I have just realized that you are Klaus! You and Klaus are both great and I am sorry there is only one of you. But at least we have not lost Klaus altogether. Now I can't find I can reconcile your words with a German accent, whereas with Klaus it was easy. But that is no problem. I believe it is like the Trinity with you and Klaus, but with two persons instead of three. One essence, two manifestations.

oh there is 3 ^_^
