Today, I met two very cool girls. Their names were (and still are) Amanda and Nadine. I like to think that fun was had by all.
We met at noon, me with the advantage of actually knowing what the people I was meeting looked like (but a bit of texting so I could find them still didn’t go astray). We went for lunch (dumplings and noodles) in Chinatown, where blogging and life in general were discussed, and basic “getting to know you, getting to know all about you”-type questions were asked. It was recently discovered that Amanda and I attended the same high school, which was also discussed over lunch. In all likelihood, we walked past each other in corridors, but were in different year levels and thus paid no attention to each other.
Next stop was ACMI, where we looked at the Screen Worlds exhibit. Finally, we quickly dropped by Amanda’s office (there’s carpet in the elevator, which I feel is completely worthy of note), before catching trains home (Nadine and I caught the same train).
Sounds like fun! I wish those in my “blogging circle” lived close by so I could meet up with them in real life.
Ha, quote of the day!
I hope that we weren’t so incredibly hungover and seedy that we turned you off meeting up with random internet people forever. :P
See you on Australia Day?
That’s such a neat coincidence that you two went to the same high school!
I’d love to meet up with some internet friends, but nobody lives in my city. (Odd considering it’s the biggest city in Canada…)
@Manda @Clem: Yeah, I think I’m pretty lucky to have fellow bloggers nearby! Most Australian bloggers are concentrated in either Melbourne or Sydney, which works out well for me.
@Amanda: Haha nah, definitely would like to continue to meet bloggers :P And yes, I’ll be there.
That sounds fun… but carpet in the elevator? Talk about fancy!
Sounds like you had a great time!
I wish I knew a blogger that lived close to me… :P
Isn’t it great fun when you meet new people and it’s not awkward at all?
Strangely enough, in my case, I bump into bloggers around Sydney every now and then, we see each other around and on trains, but never actually planned to meet up.
I had fun! Next time, we’re going to the cupcake shop! :)
