I just wanted to mention how jealous I am of all the viewing parties going on in various parts of the country. There is an article in the new Oprah magazine about online friendships (although in that case it was a cooking blog that started it) and how real friendship developed from it. I was thinking they should have researched Adamtopia to see what what happens when online friendships mix with real life! Since I've never managed to get anywhere that other posters gather, I have a question about your parties: do you all call each other by your real names or by your Atop names? I really love it when people refer to their husbands as Mr. Whatever their online name is (as in Mr. Mangokat! For some reason, I just found it hilarious that you were all sitting around watching GlamNation Live with Mr. Mangokat)
I think the blog is great idea. I'm always amazed at some of NoAngel's and Q3's essays. The writing here is way better than some of those Examiner articles.
Maybe when Q3's private concert happens, I'll be able to attend and hang with you all. By the way, Q3, by any chance were you heavily influenced by early Hayley Mills movies?
Because this ...
"So I have cooked up a little plot. My special dream. Adam, I hope you are reading this today. It is a scathingly brilliant idea. Here goes….."
is right out of The Trouble With Angels!
Crispy, I just had Mr. Mangokat sit down and read your post, and I told him it's a good thing I'm not the jealous type since he gets more mentions here than I do -- ha! In all the instances when we've gotten together with peeps from PF or Atop, it really seems to be easier to use our screen names vs. our RL names, though we all introduce ourselves both ways. However, when you're meeting so many for the first time, it just seems to be easier to remember the screen names in conversation. We've met some many times, and it seems that the more times we meet in RL, we switch over to real names. We have developed great friendships with most of the people we've met on this adventure thanks to Adam, so now it seems like a reunion. The friendships have become just as important to us as stanning AFL. Hope you can meet some of us soon as it just adds to all the fun. Little did we know when we started down the rabbit hole we were going to have this much fun, but it's been great. Of course, it helps that Mr. Mangokat is having just as much fun as I am!
