She was totally awesome. Her typing skills were refined, she had the funkiest tastes in music of anyone I had ever known, and we always agreed on important worldly issues. I had to meet her. I had to know what she was really like. A few times before I decided to get together with people I had talked to on ISCA, and it had always turned into a bad situation.
People like to paint different pictures of themselves over the computer.
Sometimes they're a little bit crazy or sometimes just plain scary, but once in a while they are just totally cool. So I decided to take a chance. I called up my ISCA friend and we decided to meet over winter break, and I was going to stay with her at her house with her roommates for a week. When I finally ended up meeting her, it was totally shocking. Almost everything I had envisioned her to be in my mind was wrong.
