Writer's Block: Another country

Do you have good friends from other countries that you've met on LiveJournal? Have you ever met them in person? If not, do you think you ever will? Submitted By moskalkov_opera (on LiveJournal)

Nope, I'm not getting a writer's/blogging block. I'm just trying to ease my way back in after my long blogging hiatus. HAI FLIST DID YOU MISS ME? :D

So. I do have good friends that I've made thanks to LJ and nope we haven't met in person. I wish we could meet in person but I'm not sure whether it'll be possible. It will be super awesome if we could, though.

My first few LJ friends were made through fandom (big surprise), specifically the CSI: Miami fandom, in the order of swift_tales, lausi_gm and spilled_notes. swift_tales was kind of unexpected because I was following her Odd Colour Series on FanFiction.Net and it led to more of her fics on her LJ. Thanks to the power of fangirling over the same OTP and fanfic commenting, there came friendship and the joining of LJ communities, which led me to lausi_gm and spilled_notes, who are awesome people who remind me to think more of myself than I do and who reassure me that I'm not as alone as I always think I am.

It's strange yet awesome how just one common interest can sustain these friendships for these past few years, and it's even more awesome that our common fandoms keep expanding to include Torchwood (oh, Ianto *wibbles*) and Merlin. I love it that we have similar tastes in UK series.

Then there's the fandom for w-inds. and WaT, where I've met lovryu, esined_xoxo, tomosuki, chychaai and gn_chan. The first three don't really count since we're in the same country, but I like them and they deserve a mention, especially lovryu, with whom I've shared lots of late-night-early-morning flaily times with over pretty and hilarious Japanese boys, the Merlin cast (Gaius's eyebrows FTW!), cracky British comedy shows, the similarities of our lives having been through the same education system and having enough similar character traits to be LJ-and-MSN-IM twins, and the EPIC FAIL of our fellow Singaporeans.

Come to think of it, the main reason why I know all these people came down to our love for hot and/or pretty boys/men. I love how superficial us fangirls are XD
