internet friends

I don't have a lot of personal friends here in Jersey City.
I have work freinds, but no one that I go out with
socially, except my husband. He's my best friend, but
he's older, he's a man of course, etc, etc. So, recently
I've developed some internet friendships. It's interesting
and different than any relationship experience I've had.
I've had the pleasure of meeting one person face to face, and
that was cool. I guess I'm missing the real, personal
type of relationship/friendships that people have. My
internet friends are fun and cool; but I often wonder what
they look like, what are their habits, are they as nice in person
as they are online. It's an odd and new phenomenon for me.
So far, I like it.

Oh yeah, one more thing; it's hard to tell if these people
really are my friends since there is no face to face contact.
I know the one person I've met is a real friend, but for all I know,
the others might just think I'm a dumbass. But whatever.
