Feeling Giddy
Categories: Life • Technology
I just finished working on a portion of a project that has been driving me nuts. As a result I'm feeling a little giddy. I need some friends nearby that aren't busy so I can have a night on the town.
Speaking of friends, I got to spend a bit of an evening with Joshua (Not to be confused by my friend Joshua from Sitka) and his wife Rebecca this last Saturday.
Joshua is a friend I have known for going on 8 years? now but hadn't met until about 2 years ago. How is that you might ask? Well, we met on the Internet through a common interest in Sixpence None the Richer.
I recently heard about a study that claimed people didn't build real friendships anymore because the internet caused us to have online friends. The obvious intimation being that you couldn't have a real friendship with someone you met online.
I agree to an extent because I think it is hard to truly know someone you haven't met. But I think its safe Joshua and I could be pretty good real friends if given the chance. His wife Rebecca is pretty cool too.

thank you for your kind words, friend.
rebecca and i were saying the same thing as we headed back north to seattle: if given the chance to see you more often, you’d be a real close real friend. (that sounded weird typing it, but you know what i’m trying to say).
we enjoy spending time with you. we’ve even considered taking a trip down again some weekend just to see you and hang out.
if not soon, for sure in october - we’ll be in your area then - will let you know all the details as soon as they’re all worked out, of course.
we’re blessed to call you our friend, jamie. :)

*triumphant grin* I’m “pretty cool”!
I was telling Josh that you’re one of the people with whom I could be friends without Josh . Sometimes I’m friends with someone just because Josh is his/her friend… It’s sort of obligatory. Not so with you.
