It's A Small World After All

[kerravonsen]

Had a lovely afternoon with reynardo, whom I met face-to-face for the first time (only a few days after we realized we lived in the same city). We ate gelato, and talked about everything from SSHG (OF COURSE) to tech support to craft to private schools, to Linus Torvaldis's first encounter with penguins, to Macquarie University (and whether my father had taught anyone she knew) and, well, lots of stuff. Then she drove me home because she was concerned that I'd be caught in the Big Thunderstorm that was coming, and I invited her in for a cuppa, and we talked some more. She smiled at the Avon picture in the hallway, and pounced on my Tomorrow People DVDs.

Hopefully we will do something similar again soon.

Lucky you! It's lovely to meet online friends in the flesh, especially when they turn out to be just as good in person.

How wonderful to meet someone you have so much in common! I have one fannish friend here and we should meet up more often.

Oh, yay! I love it when this sort of thing happens. (This sort of connection through fandom is how I met ladybrick in Real Life, and we are now quite good friends.)
