I believe 3...

-One I met through here
-One went to my school, I'd "met" him before but only knew who he was through here
-One is a coworker that I already knew, but only recently found out is actually a poster on here as well

there are people here who've said they wanted to meet me in real life...but somehow, i think if they actually did, they'd be severely disappointed.

anyways, i've met 1 person from arstechnica in real life, but that's the only "real life meeting" i've had...and it was only to buy some fans off him.

edit: maybe they wouldnt be severely disappointed. i'm exactly the same offline as my persona projects online. (idiot, cant get chicks, etc)

I think it's time you play hard to get. Maybe you came on too strong?


Why aren't you in IRC?

i've been catching up on some other stuff and i'm going to bed soon.

plus RichardE was texting me about some hot ass womens in the gym so i felt like i was on IRC. he's trying to work out, text, and stare at the same time. must've looked damn awkward. :D

same. I know maybe 4 or so quite well. Was neighbors with 2 of those for the previous few years. Went to a few Chicago meets, so ended up meeting a bunch of you douchebags a few times.

Good people, all of them :beer:

I probably would too.. hmm. We're a big company but a satellite office, only around 40 people - so pretty intimate.
