Why the Internet is Awesome

Hey everyone! It's been awhile! But I am really trying to start blogging. I vlog enough, I need to actually BLOG more. Alright, so here that goes.

I have been on the internet now for about ten years. My family first got the internet about 12 years ago, but I wasn't allowed on it without permission and guidance until I was about 13. The internet and I have come to develop a pretty intimate relationship. When I was about 14 I started Role Playing on Yahoo chat and started developing online friendships. Though back then no one ever learned much about you. It's still the same in the Role Play world, but now they're held on forums not in chats. Then at 16 I started to write fan fiction, both of these were involved in the Anime world (Role Play was for Pokemon -- which actually evolved into Star Wars [not anime] and fan fiction started as Yu-Gi-Oh and evolved into all the other anime I liked). Fan Fiction, again wasn't something that you let anyone know much about you. that is until I met Chip, but I have told this story enough so I am not getting into that.

I really have developed awesome friendships with people over the internet and am starting to wonder if this is the way of the future. That the best way to meet people is over the internet. I never would have thought that before. Now I am meeting people in Youtube, and seeing them face to face really makes me feel good about "knowing" them. Before there was always that question about if they really were who they were. And Youtube takes that question away.

The internet is a wonderful place...

(and Anime is a wonderful thing -- sorry having a marathon of a short series that I really like as I type this...so good)
