Writer's Block: Another country

Mum: You can't just stay up and talk to people on the other side of the world all night, it's utter madness!
Me: Madness.... *turns around in her chair* THIS. IS. LJ!
Mum: ... what.
Me: Just go to bed mum.

Of course, there's the obligitory load of people from America that I've become rather close with (holla!), and while I have no idea if they consider me a friend in return, I've become quite chummy with people in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, France, Germany and Japan.

On the matter of whether I'll ever meet them, well, we're all so spread out and there's so many I'll probably never be able to, but if there was some kind of magical event wherein we did all meet, it'd be awesome.

Though fuck timezones man. They suck a big meaty one, geez. GMT means that I'm either keeping other people up (something I feel horrifically guilty about) or staying up late for everyone else (West Coast America time zones are my enemy. Though I love everyone on them.)

That's the issue though; if you've never met someone face to face, can you really say you're friends? I'd like to think so, but what are your opinions on the matter, guys?

Ah, I don't care, I love you all regardless. I count it as friendship even if it's one-sided.

Timezones slay me. But hay, you're in England, that's probably the closest to a good one as I'm going to get overseas orz. \o/

Can I has this magical event in which we all meet up? Because that would be so awesome. ;3;

Ah...I'm a bit skeptical of the whole "considering online people" friends though. I mean, unless you get to know each other pretty well they're just another faceless internet guy. And how many of those people would actually miss you if you were to disappear for a time? But that being said, I've met some pretty awesome people on LJ who I would love to meet in real life, and I hope to do so one day, when I save up enough money to travel. \o/

You can totally be the England to my Portugal though. Husbando. <3

Unless you talk to someone in NZ? Aww, I feel kind of flattered actually. <3

I wish it would happen. D8 Maybe with the advent of teleporters.

Oh yeah, I do mean the ones you get to know properly, not just those you randomly chat to. I'd never have enough money to travel to all the people I've met, but it'd be so cool to.

Awww that's so sweet of you. My sister read that over my shoulder and was like "what" and I just shooed her off, but out of context it does seem kind of funny. ilu2 <3

Wait does that mean you have a brother I have to beat up?

lol I never see any NZ'ders around this part. They're all hiding orz.

I'm going to be tight, like Scotland, and put money aside for a rainy day until I have enough to visit the world lol. \o/

It totally makes sense okay. Even out of context people should remember their romance haha. ...And well, I have a sister. But she's not in need of beating up at the moment haha.

Aww sadface. I wonder why?

Lol good luck with that honey. Ffff the idea of Scotty being a total hoarder is so amusing I can't even... and then he goes shopping with France and spends all his money on him. >>

Funny thing is that in England nobody does. At all. People are like "Portugal what". Call me when you need me bb. *shines her pipe in preparation*
