This is it you guys, this is the moment that Rachel and I became digital friends. Rachel loves communication so she emailed me first advising me that she was going to request my friendship on Facebook. I always appreciate a good warning of an impending change to my social life. A good start.
This was a big step for the both of us, what with our tendency toward social awkwardness, our hatred of people, and our general disdain for the implied phoniness of friendships carried out over a social networking site. It’s okay though because as it turned out, we would soon move our friendship outside of the digital world into the real world. A real world friend? What is this, 1998? Rachel and I are old school like that.

I really love when things are laminated. Badminton and laminators are a few of my favourite things. I also like graph paper, champagne and rotary phones. Now you know too much about me. And while I usually like to play competitive sports with someone at least twice before I friend request them, I may have to do it sooner given your acknowledgment of one of my best qualities, that being my irrational temper.

Oh that's okay because I like the apocalypse, desert flora and decks of cards. Now we are even. I agree with your Facebook reticence yet I would have to approve your friendship request with extreme haste. I applaud your acceptance of your irrational behaviour, without it this world would be a boring place.
