I think the Internet is what you make of it, Just like life i guess.

In the past 6 or 7 years of being on the internet i have met 3 or 4 people that i first met online..Nothing much came of it..except for 1 person, It was interesting meeting the person that I had so many faceless conversations with, Then meeting her..Then seeing eachother for about 2 years.

As far as everyone on the TFP goes, I respect everybody the same until someone gives me a reason not too..That hasn't happened, But thats the way i am in real life so i carry that same rule on here.

TFP is really the only source i use now to communicate with other people, the rest of the internet (Besides messenger programs) is a source of entertainment i would say.

I know that this forum is made up more than people out in cyber space pounding away at there keyboards, I can't say that i have really engaged in an in depth conversation with anybody on TFP since i became a member way back when, Except for Angel. I am not very good at expressing myself or my opinion..I have a hard time getting what i'm thinking out into the message field..which makes it harder for me to say what i wanna say when i read a thread that i wanna take part in.

I guess this could be a motivator to become more interactive with people here and to kinda step out of the shadow, Seeing as i have been a member here for over 2 years (I have taken break's from the internet within the time i have been here) and haven't really become close to anybody.

TFP is more than entertainment to me, There's alot of knowledgeable people here that i wish i only knew half of what they know. There's also alot of people that i would like to converse with. I was always told by my father (Asshole) to speak when your spoken too, I hate him for that..because it's stuck to me.

I think of the TFP more than just faceless people, Alot of you have put a face to go along with your words which to me makes it that much more interesting.
