[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1126006, member: 158"] Johnny Cash wins an MTV award.[i]*checks off list*[/i] Madonna releases children's books.[i]*checks off list*[/i] A gaming stalker.[i]*checks off list*[/i] OK, the end of the World should be any day now... :) ------------------------------- I am fortunate that I am blessed with a group of 8 people, six of whom are friends, and 2 of whom are acquaintences (due to age difference instead of personality), and we all go to Movies, to Dinner, to Gaming, etc. One I have gone to Gencon with twice - he's a real standup guy who has your back no matter the situation, and if it had never been for gaming, I never would have met him. The funny part is, my gamers have been more of my family over the past 12 years of so than my own family has; out of the gaming buddies I grew up with in high school and college: -1 was best man at my wedding -2 others were groomsmen -1 got introduced through me to my old high school girlfriend and married her (which made me very happy to know that two such good friends found one another) -all of the above have supported one another through many rough spots in their early 20's, and we still keep in touch today, though having moved away. At conventions and gamedays, I game with strangers, but many of them I already know through these forums and others; and those I don't know, I at least become acquaintences with. I have RARELY met a gamer I disliked. [/QUOTE]
