Your Calamities

I had dinner with the internets last night!

Okay, not with all the internets; just with some of my favorite people on the interntes. Curly, Jess, A Lover and a Fighter, Kelsi and I had dinner at Supper. It was, as expected, lots of fun. We laughed, we cried, we drank too much, and we offended the wait staff. Possibly. (We're not sure if the hostess heard the unfavorable comparison to Amy Winehouse or not, but , so we will go with yes, just in case).

The really great part about it, to my mind, was the fact that I was sitting there having dinner with these four fabulous people that I would not have ever met were it not for the internet. It wasn't so very long ago that one's social options were limited to schoolmates, co-workers, family, and maybe a group one degree removed from your immediate acquaintances. That's not really a lot of people (nor, I think, was that relatively close-knit group likely to have been terribly diverse... but that is another issue).

In any case, those times are past, and I was able to have dinner with a group of people that I am terribly fond of, from all over the country, whom I would have never crossed paths with in a less technological time.

Good job, internet....
