Life gets weird when friends you've know for a long time get to meet the new friends you've met through the internet, and it's eveen weirder when it's the first time you've met some of the internet crowd but you feel you've known them for ages because you've "spoken" to them in the cafe or read their posts.

What makes things even more weird is when one of the internet crowd sees a photo of your best friend who you went to school with and proclaims that he's sure he knows her. In fact when he met her later on in the pizza restaurant he confronted her with "I'm sure we've met before?"

Now I'm thinking "You can't know her. She's my real life friend - you're an internet person." But of course this internet person does exist cos I've now met him for the 2nd time.

It turns out that they met at another friend's house for tea. Not only that but it's this other friend's sister who went out with Colin Firth (Mr Darcy) - although a long long time ago.
