retarded, IMO.

Originally posted by me@t k@tie Uhhh, I guess it's diffeerent for certain people. My parents do not understand the internets, and don't realize that you can make actual "IRL" friends. They would freak out if they had any idea of how many people I've met that I first knew online.

see, dotn get that. why would your parents freak out. is it somehow wrong to make friends over the net as your first point of initial contact? i jsut dont get the issue here...

Yeah well at least I'm not afraid to be who I am. If you're ashamed of that, well then it sucks to be you.

I've had some awkward moments explaining the origins of some close friendships I've made through tribe. It's easier when you dj because many of them can be explained as friends from "the scene" (which is true)

well.. if i met someone on TA.. then I say I met them on TA, but myspace? thats sketch. So I just say around, a party, a friend.. etccc. Its just easier and you dont have to tell stories for an hour so whomever youre talking to isnt like.. "uh..okay.. bye stalker"

lolll.

is it? jesus id tell my parents they're being intense and clueless if they got all hot and bothered w/ me over fucking having friends i met on the internet.

deal w/ it. its not a big deal. catch up w/ teh times and the way things operate now. its not the era of your childhood, or even your later youth.

and if they still cared -- oh well. nothing's changing. best deal, bc if you dont nothing is still changing. haha

they've gotten more used to it over the years. now i just tell them that i'm going out with my internet friends whenver im going to guv or w/e lol. i think they had a bigger problem with it when i was younger.

glad to hear. never let your parents make you feel guilty or silly or give you unnecessary grief over things that you shouldnt.

maybe u should make friends other than thru the intraw3b?

Sorry, watched Dodgeball twice on Citytv cause im sick and home all day today and yesturday.

Actually, my parents are well trained. If I say "I met him/her on TA", they know exactly what I'm talking about.

If I say it to anyone in College/University, they all seem to think 'Teaching Assistant' before anything else - and that ofter requires a great deal of clarification

I'm embarassed whenever I have to tell people I know any of you.



It took a while, but all my non-TA friends know about TA now

I bet you didn't get invited to the Grade 7 house parties. I sure did. I made out with a girl at one too. I was 12. I think I had a boner

Originally posted by jennypie Again, so what? Whose rules do you live by?

Jenny, it's great you can be brutally honest with everybody, but not everyone is under the same circumstances as you. You said you work in nursing? How many times have you told your coworkers, or better yet your higher-ups, about your drug escapades? What if they asked? Would you say, "hahaha, well the darndest thing, this one time I got so fucked on drugs that I thought I was going to OD in a sketchy Asian's apartment"?

Originally posted by Jem_hadar see, dotn get that. why would your parents freak out. is it somehow wrong to make friends over the net as your first point of initial contact? i jsut dont get the issue here...

Jem, you have to understand that we don't have the same parents. I don't really want to get into the personal details of my family on here, but I already mentioned how they feel and that's all you need to know.

HAHAHA way to go drew. our parents are well trained, aren't they?! <3

Vicky said the same thing to me when she asked how so and so was. I was like, "from TA"... and and she paused for a second, then said "oh. i keep thinking you mean teaching assistant when you say 'TA'"

lol.

so it wasn't a serious question...just a funny 'when you think about it' lots of friendships are a product of this website.

I have no probs with telling folks that I met someone through the internet. It's so common these days. Lots of stories of people hooking up, getting married, whatever. The internet is a good communication tool and it connects people, be it for better or worse.

A lot of my clubbing friends back in Syd I met through TA and it's great because they all share similar tastes in music, are outgoing and know how to have fun, and there was never any judging or anything. The TA's I met in Europe in '04 were equally fun and great to hang around.

As long as your friends aren't psycho and/or pedophiles then I don't see what the problem is.

I still enjoying meeting people through more conventional means, but I don't view any method as necessarily better or worse.
