I met a REALLY good friend, (through another friend I have) a couple years ago, when we started e-mailing. I didn't assume we would form the friendship we did, but it was good!! I never really met "Kat" until over a year after we started e-mailing...since I live in KY and she lives in CA, I didn't think it was possible...but, I got a plane ticket to CA last Christmas, and flew out to see her and some other friends last January!!!!!! It was SOOOO neat....a trip I'll never forget!! (we flew back again in September, and I saw her yet again!! she may visit next summer, and I think we're going to the same college later on!) So that was awesome...now I met another of Kat's friends online, Michelle, and we've been e-mailing for a while, though I've never met her! (she also lives in southern CA) So, I enjoy doing stuff like that!
