Wellll..... When I was in 6th form, and Mum being a teacher, she got connected to this thing called schools net, it was way fun, I could explain it all but I wont. But you got to talk to heaps of people from other schools, and I must have met bout 10 or more people from there. One is one of my best friends now, and one was my friends boyfriends friend, which to me was freaky at the time, and I went out with him for a bit.
And then Xtra came out with their cehap internet stuff and so we were introduced to the real internet, and I met just one person from there, who was then my partner for a fair few years and the reason I am in Auckland. And I also met his friends and stuff who I had also talked to online. And then I was involved in that, so I didn't really use the internet much at all, except to e-mail and stuff.
And then I have met like 3 people I met on NZD, no events or anything.
And from
NZB, I met and made a good friend in kiwi_dude.
I have a scheduled meeting with Gil from france from the rugby boards, for one day when he and his family get their butts over here or I get over there. Hes cool, he used to play representative rugby for France, and has played against/with many of the greats from SA and France and stuff of the moment.
