I guess it's not exactly true that I get to know people by observing them--well, it's true, only I described it more literally than it is. Because I have several close friends who I have never met in person and will be unlikely to anytime soon, and I feel like I know them well enough. I've known Aeryes for four years, I've only been talking to Alex a lot these last couple of weeks but he's awesome, there's Kite - we're kidn of distant but he's got a lot of shit going on in his life, there's Art and Rave who I don't know all that well yet but I hope to, there's Ayush who I will be meeting next year, not to mention Ian and NG and Aaron and Derrick (remind me to talk to them more, I've been neglecting them for frivolous 'net pursuits), everyone else from AFG and GTG and NT. Observation and getting-to-know-you techniques are not limited to the visual.

Which I'm sure you know--you met online, didn't you?

I said I'd think about it. Still no definite conclusions but I'm putting words out there.
