I'm a Delinquent ... or is that Deviant?


It's not like that, in itself, is even remotely blog worthy as all of you already know that, but I wanted to get your attention. Did it work??

Last week Leighann bestowed upon me an award and I (shamefully) never brought it over to my blog. I think that deserves a spanking ... or at the very least a time out.

It's the First Class Friendship Award and I am proud that she chose me as the recipient!


Leighann and I "met" on a Yahoo Groups list for moms of boys about 18 months ago. Even though she is just a "baby," we had much in common and our friendship went from the list to regular contact on IM. It wasn't until December (?) of this year that we met in person. I took the 2-hour road trip through miles and miles of corn fields (and nothing else - and I do mean NOTHING), stumbled through shitty bogus directions from MapQuest and made several phone calls to Leighann attempting to find myself her - the rest is history!

It's one of those friendships that would have never come to fruition had it not been for the internet making this big world a little smaller.

Very cool!

The internet is the greatest thing ever. Most of the people I communicate with I met through the internet. Other than my imaginary friends of course. But, I think they are jealous of the internet. Even if they won't admit it. ;-)

And here I thought you were blowing me off :)

Jay, my husband thinks I'm wierd because I find friends on the internet - I think he's wierd because he doesn't *wink*

Leighann, blow you off? Motorboat maybe ...

Mmmmmmmm. If you truly are some kind of First Class Friend, you'll let me watch you motorboat Leighann. Congrats, and Cheers!!

Dana said...

Matt-Man, you'll have to beg for Leighann's permission on that request - she won't even let her husband watch! I'm not the shy one!

Friends are where you find them... I have shaken hands with millionares and convicted felons with equal respect. I had gotten to know the person,- not the label...

God bless the Internet. ;)

Dana said...

Buff, I agree entirely! It's one of the reasons I prefer to meet people without knowing their background - fewer assumptions.

DB, everyone needs a little ego stroke occasionally!

SS, I'm waiting for Leighann to step up to the plate!

Dana said...

Jahooni, I'm still seeking that elusive peach award, but no luck as of yet! My wet noodle didn't even do it!

Corky, yes, God bless the internet! It's amazing what can be done "cyberly"

You two make a good team/pair.

Yay for you!! I'm sure you are a great friend and deserve it mightily. That's the sentimental part.

The regular horny guy part says:

Ditto what SS said.

FMD, I limit my friendships so that I can do a better job of being a good friend!

Leighann and I have been pen pals for years....this summer I plan on meeting her in person, cannot wait to wrap her in a Mama Bear hug.
Great post, and maybe we can meet up too.

I've got my own version of Leighann... (she has great boobs too)

Yeah, the internet makes you a lot of friends... it isn't only useful for porn ;)
