I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing.

They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later.

ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting to hear from a couple of folks. fingers crossed.
