Most of my "live friends" (as opposed to digital virtual friends) don't blog and don't even read my blog regularly. But I have a lot of bloggy friends who are "real friends" in a way even though we have not face each other face to face :). <br/><br/>I like blogging. I know it's Old School but that's how I am. I let others test the waters first - if it's relatively safe, I dive in :)<br/><br/>Twitter, Facebook and the likes are not for me at this moment. But blogging? Oh, I just love blogging!

I like blogging. I know it’s Old School but that’s how I am. I let others test the waters first – if it’s relatively safe, I dive in :)

Twitter, Facebook and the likes are not for me at this moment. But blogging? Oh, I just love blogging!

There is more to discover online than I will ever have time for, and yet I can’t leave it behind.

And my offline friends absolutely don’t get it “And why are you doing that blog thing?” is the question in their quizzical expressions.

It’s nice to know that I am not alone! :-)

I tell them that I am talking to this friend or reading something by that friend, and they look are truly confused ... It's kinda fun to have friends that my kids don't know!<br/><br/>I am blessed with such wonderful virtual friends - I'm so glad you are one of them!! You made me smile today, yet again!

I have gotten to know people I know in real life even better through a blog. It's easier sometimes to write about things than start a discussion face to face. I don't really care how I communicate with others, as long as I communicate. And if it wasn't for the Internet, I couldn't keep in touch with my family as much as I do with the help of the big I. And I'm so darn curious! I love to find out what certain people are up to. It gives me new ideas, new ways to think of things, inspires me to do things, knowledge on things I don't have a clue about... Nothing wrong about Internet friends. I love mine, you included! I also find that you first read everyone's blogs and then you realize it takes too much of your time and start weeding out the ones that you don't really click with. Then you're left with the kind of people you'd make friends with in real life if you had a chance. <br/>Ja sitten on ihanaa etta voi puhua suomea ja loytaa suomalaisia ystavia kun itsella ei niita ole taalla lahella. Side Suomeen ja erityisesti tykkaan lukea ulkosuomalaisten kokemuksista. Tulee sellainen olo etten ole ainoa "outo suomalainen taalla maailmalla". :) <br/><br/>Let's keep bloggin'!

Expression is important and I love this world for that opportunity!

It's easier to find things in common with friends on the Internet than in real life sometimes. Mom's groups are wonderful too, but they are usually friendships based on our children, but don't include our other passions. Very few of my real life friends have any interest in working, reading blogs, writing, making new friends, etc.... all of the things that make this virtual world so much fun. And I know it improves our real lives too. Great blog and so true. It’s easier to find things in common with friends on the Internet than in real life sometimes.
