Real life friends here? — Page 2

Well, my friend is neither leggy or blonde.  And I have no interest in seeing him on a photocopier.

I just finished watching season 2 and I'm surprised that a lot of people were disappointed.  I thought it was just as good as season 1 and the music was really good.  My only disappointment was that they never did Bus Driver Song, but I suppose it's a pretty funny in-joke to make an entire episode centered around that plot and then never actually do the song.

Turns out I know Veritas in real life.  We have Star Wars conversations here at work in real life, but he usually hangs out in the "Other Fan Edits" forum.

Guess it was bound to happen.

I gave him a copy of SW:Revisited a couple months back, and I guess he found his way here.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

Damn - saw the "V" and was hoping you were going to say "VINH."

I have a real life friend that Lurks here. 

I also have seen other members on other non-sw sites as well.

There's probably a better thread for this but I can't find it, so....

I have now met three forum people IRL.  Previously I peeled potatoes for xhonzi, as well as meeting He-Guy (FE.org member) when he screened my edit.  And today, I met SilverWook.

I have met Laserschwert a couple of times.

I did actually get someone to join, who I don't think has posted a single thing, and who probably hasn't logged on for two or three years when I first told her of this site.  And I don't even remember what she told me her handle was so...

I tend to keep my RL friends away from places like this. Why? because I know that they would not like it here.I just keep them informed on certain things like star Wars: Revisited.

This place has a general tone that is unwelcoming to new users. At least that is how it was when I was a new user. - This is not an attack on any particular users It's just the atmosphere here.

It took a while to feel like i wasn't an outsider here.

I would if I had any real life friends : (

Not even pretend friends like the newsagent?

As a courier in a small town I am pretend friends with a lot of people, even the cops. Spending time alone can be great but in order to stay sane you need some pretend friends at least.

As for the other way around - I connect with a few of you via other means like facebook, xbox live, steam, stalking doublofive on twitter [he's not as punny as he thinks he is]

I know there are some users near me geographically but we've never met up. I've become friends with user RoccondilRinon in the flesh and we've even become friends with each other's friends IRL.

"I" (the prime me) gave loads of random people my password and I haven't posted on here for years. I'm not even post right now.

I'm not quoting this post in a post of my own which does not exist.

My dad signed up here and debated me without revealing his identity for the first few days, but I don't know that that counts, considering he signed up solely for that purpose and not for anything Star Wars related.

 Post Praetorian. He debated me in my Catholic Q & A thread, near the end. He's so completely different in real life that he completely took me by surprise when he confessed.

I can't bring my real-life friends here... Last weekend by best friend told me TPM was his favorite SW movie followed by AOTC :( I nearly cried in public. I have not spoken to him since this incident.

I know Tobar from our gaming group, and despite living in the same state and even city as him for awhile, I never met him.

Also lived in the same town as Darth_Ender. But maybe we have met and just didn't know it? Oooo.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.
