Tim: Tim's my boyfriend, and one of the sweetest guys I've ever met :3 He lives several thousand miles away from me, but it still feels like I've known him all my life. I met him on IRC over a year ago now. I don't know how he manages to put up with all my whining and stuff, he's amazing :3

Dan: I met Dan on IRC due to a mutual love of Metallica's music. He's quickly become one of my best friends, although I've not been able to meet him yet (which is something I will do sometime.

Cardiff-Matt: I don't have the faintest clue how I got talking to Hiryuu... He's the resident drunk of most chans I'm in :3 but he's a really nice guy too, with an awesome and slightly wicked sense of humour. The first time I ever met him, I'd gone to spend a week with him o.O

Jet-Matt: I got talking to Jet about a week before Otakon. I didn't have anywhere to stay for a day or so, and he very kindly offered to share his room with me, even though he knew absolutely nothing about me. I obviously had no idea what to expect when I met him, other than he seemed a nice person online and he was apparently 6'3". Yes, he's very tall...especially considering I'm so short. He's also a very nice guy in person, and I had fun wandering around downtown Baltimore with him :3

Mouse-Matt: IRC name Xerxes, I met him online through another friend. He's a sweet guy who's very caring. He also built my computer for me o.O and named her after me without even intending to :3

Caroline: Caroline's pretty much my best IRL friend. I met her at school when we did 2 out of 3 of the same subjects. Later she joined my english class so we were in all the same classes. I'd seen her about but only really got talking to her then. I'd just started to become interested in anime, but she was already a big fan so she got me into it more heavily and taught me the basics of drawing.

Mark: I met Mark through DeviantART IRC (in #alt.uk to be specific) at around the start of 2003. Technically. In reality, even though he probably said hi to me when I joined, I didn't actually start talking to him until about four months after I joined. :P Since then, we've met up a few times which is always fun.

Luger/Adam: Adam was the very first person I ever spoke to in #alt.uk. He's a really sweet person who's an awesome artist/3D modeller, and I met him last year during the DeviantART London meet, which was very cool.

Andrew: I got talking to Andrew because of National Novel Writing Month. I had quit #alt.uk for a time so I could concentrate on writing, and joined mirc-x because I had heard there was a NaNo channel there. I joined and stayed there for the duration of the NaNo. At the end, I traded NaNos with him, and frankly, his book is the niftiness.
