Blogs are interesting things. You get one person reading, and then their friend starts reading and then theirs.
Until eventually you have people reading your blog that are distantly related to you through some friend of a friend.
And over time, you build up this tiny little blog community of people you don’t necessarily know in real life, yet you read about them every single day as they post up their thoughts, interests and desires. You learn their quirks, their sense of humor and their level of intelligence.
All without ever seeing their face or hearing their voice.
But sometimes this virtual world collides with the real world and you meet someone in real life that you’ve only known through your blogosphere (yes, I’m ashamed that I just typed that word).
This happened to me last week when I went to Dave’s house to play some games.
I arrived and lo and behold, Davey showed up a few minutes later.
Yes, the Davey of Peter, Puck and Mxy.
The Davey who posts impossible music quizzes that just make me scratch my head.
The Davey who comments on my blog when no one else will.
That Davey.
It’s good to meet those virtual people and put a face to a name. It’s also good to find out that said people aren’t freaks, and that they’re pretty cool.
