Thankful for my BFOTI

BFOTI = Best Friend(s) On The Internet

I've found that befriending people on the Internet has meant finding people that really get me. People that like me for just being me. Who understand my compulsion with blogging and Twitter and Facebook and Skype. Who don't get offended if I tweet something from my phone while I talk to them. Who are as obsessed with taking good pictures as I am. Who know that what is shared on a blog is only about 5% of our real lives and that many times, just because we don't share the whole story doesn't mean we aren't being truthful.

They also understand that if I don't read their blog everyday and have to ask them what's going on in their lives, even though they just blogged about it yesterday, it's not a reflection on how I feel about them or about our relationship. It's just life.

Rachel, Tori, Alli, Elizabeth, Jamie, & Sarah (and there are a few more that I couldn't find pictures for)

We don't get to see each other nearly often enough, even those of us that live in the same area. But we're continually connected through our obsession with use of social media.

It will never cease to amaze me that I now have friends across the country and across my city that I never would have known had it not been for a fun little hobby I picked up on a whim.
