I have made so many friends on the internet. None of us really talk anymore, but every now and then I think of them and all of the wonderful times we had loving the same things and fighting over ships. We were the greatest pirates to have ever lived. We collected treasures like fan art and fan fiction. We Sailed all over the internet discovering new fandoms to join and crossed many ships that we couldn't resist blowing canons through. And when we didn't have canon, we'd go back to our treasures to admire them and assure ourselves that no one could take this from us.
I do still wish that I could meet some of those friends in real life. One I've friended on Facebook and I stalk her every now and then. (Not in the creepy way, I swear.) It would be cool to hang out at a convention or something.
I miss having friends that I have stuff in common with. You can't find people like that anymore. Reflecting on it, it's probably because we're all on the internet. We only emerge from our laptops when nerd cons come to town or a particularly pushy friend pulls us out of the depths of the fandoms.
Thank you interweb friends for being there always.
