English Final: Tell your Internet Stories here:
Hey Duers,
Want to be part of my kid’s English final?
She has an interview that focuses on people who have
met other people in person because of a cyber space connection.
She is particularly interested in people who have formed romantic
relationships with others.

Here are her questions, and she also welcomes any additional stories
you want to contribute!
Thanks- BHN

1. How long did you know the person online before you met in person?
2. How often did you meet up with that person online a week?
3. Do you feel that getting to know this person online before you met in person

a.made this person more attractive to you physically?

b.Infuenced your attraction as far as overlooking physical imperfections
that you may not have had you not established a mental relationship first?

4. What web site did you meet this person on?

Please add and personal comment or stories

1. I'm curious
How come your kid's not asking these questions herself?

7. I met my friend, B*****, this way. She lived in California and I spent
about five years on a writing list before meeting her. She was totally cool but unlike what I had pictured her to be like. She would beta read my stuff and I would hers.

We met online everyday.

I was like I had met her when I was born, finally meeting her in person. She was so familiar and so close, I could have sworn we grew up together.

a. This doesn't apply.

b. yes. B***** is a beautiful person. She is eccentric in the nicest most creative way. During our friendship, before I met her down there from my home in Alaska, she had gotten deathly ill and had to lose a leg due to poor circulation. It was the oddest thing because a year later my sister lost one during a motorcycle accident. It helped me a lot to have met B*****.

I met her on a Yahoo groups site for writers and haven't looked back since. Its wonderful, the internet. I would never have met someone I view as a sister without it.

Good luck on your writing, honey. Its tons and tons of fun.
