{JAMMERS} Well, despite the fact that fainting is used lightly and humorously in cartoons, TV and whatnot, it's actually a bit serious, so I'm not surprised they were worried about you. How long ago was this? (Well, at least you got into the conversation. I can't remember how many years it's been since I've talked comfortably with someone I wasn't related to. )
{JAMMERS} Yeah. I think it was about 4 and half years ago, because I was almost 14. ( Really? Well you sort of talk to us here, then again it's the internet so it's like 100 times easier. I can't help but wonder what would happen if we all met in real life. Would we be shy? Outgoing and fine? Somewhere in between? )
{JAMMERS} (Yeah, the internet is way easier. I mean, just think about the benefits! 1: I don't have to make eye contact with you, 2: I don't have to work on my posture to a polite, attentive angle, 3: I don't have worry about looking interested in what you're saying, 4: I don't have to think of something mildly pleasant and conversational to say within the five seconds that follow the end of your sentence, 5: I can say what I want when I want and with fun emotes, 6: I don't have to worry about having a caveman hanging from my nose, my speech becoming slurred or stuttering, or my face being pale and strained from anxiety, 7: and if I want you to shush up, I can just click that nice little red X button on the top left of the screen and read my book. XD
Ohh, that'd be interesting! I'd like to think we would hit it off with hugs and sharing quotes from Ninjago, but I get so apprehensive about socializing--especially in "I haven't seen you in years"-like meetings--that I may become stiff and formal, thereby putting you ill at ease. OR, we could immediately become BBFs and shock our parents as they watch and wonder how we know each other so well. XD)

I think it'd probably be a combination of both. Like at first it would be a little formal and then once we come to the realization we already know each other and stuff then we'd probably start acting mostly ourselves and be best buddies. XD

{JAMMAHS} Maybe so. . . You know, I would love to see that happen one day. Us meeting face-to-face--brick, I'd love to one day meet all of my Lego user friends! Maybe years from now, there should be some sort of convention where all the former LMBers and Gallery users get together dressed up in their avatars and finally meet their internet friends. It'd be probably nearly impossible to find everyone, but the mere thought of a reunion like that just makes me smile. ^_^
Yeah, when I was 2 I hit my head on a sharp part of a wooden rocking chair. I don't know a lot of the details since I don't remember it, but I have a scar on my forehead to this very day. And when I was 4 I think, my whole thumb nail got taken off because of a shopping cart.
Other than that, nothing else that I can think of. Everything else like that that's ever happened to me has pretty much healed on it's own pretty quick.
Wow, that didn't come out right. I was going to say "besides fainting," then I took the "fainting" part out (not sure why) but didn't take the "besides" part out. Now I sound really mean.
