I have one online friend who I've known for 8 flipping years. (Yikes.) Never met each other as we're in different countries, we probably would have if we were closer.

I have a fair few online friends (mostly from this site). Never met any of them... Yet.
Suppose it can be strange, but at the end of the day you see the person for who they are, and meeting them wouldn't really change things unless they have a totally different personality.

Initially you can fall for someone, but in the end, you have to meet for their to be REAL love right?

I thought that's what you were saying. I meant falling in love with someone 'initially' on the net by getting to know their personality. Of course things may well change if you meet them and don't find them physically attractive - that's life!
I like zooo's 'and that'! 
Have you fallen in love with someone Ellie?

Well I'm guessing the closest thing I can get to seeing/performing stand up is in Nottingham, so if you're still there maybe we could meet up, have a few drinks? Should I bring a johnny or are you a risk taker?

Yup. I'm in love with Aaron.
I bought some fruit pastals and opal fruits the other day and they made me cry.
