David has arrived!

1998, Hangouts,

My online friend David decided to come to the USA from Malta. He needed somewhere to stay and originally he was going to stay with me but my roommate changed her mind on whether she was comfortable with it so I got my friends Aaron and Steve to let him stay with them. It was very cool of them.

David is on Steve & Aaron’s couch!

Fred’s first visit!

1998, Hangouts, ,

Fred flew from California to meet me for the first time after having a friendship through online and phone interaction only! We had a blast even though it was only for two days.

James and Chris visiting from Alabama!

1998, Hangouts, Holidays, , , , ,

My friend James visited me from Alabama and brought his friend Chris who is hilarious.  We played PlayStation a lot, went to Napolitano’s to sing karaoke (where Chris sang Adam Sandler’s “Ode to My Car,” to everyone’s shock and amazement), and went out to eat a lot.
