I feel like I'm missing out on experiencing people here fully. There was a time when I was sure we'd be hanging out in New Orleans together, which made me happy, and it's sad to know that won't be happening. It's been like that with a lot of great people I've met here. I interact with them a bit on the boards and in blogs, but it never has the chance to develop into a complete friendship. I guess I mourn the loss of what could, and perhaps should be, but isn't. SG is a little like window shopping when you're broke, and it eats away at me.
I think I just have trouble treating friendships differently. I have a hard time drawing a line between online friends and real life friends. I'd probably have an easier time of it if I could do that.
