I don't know if I told you before...It was back in '96 when geeks were just starting to take over the internet, ROFL. Anyway, there was a huge group from the X-Files AOL chat room and a bunch of them (including me) went to the convention. I only knew a couple of people and was introduced to the rest of the gang (which is when I met Mike).

After the con, we all became buddies (they were about, oh, 25 or so of us). Mike and I would talk online every Friday night when the X-Files was on. Then, Yvonne, one of the ladies had a Christmas party and invited the whole group (plus a few people from the show). Mike was there and I went there with my sister...and the rest is history.

(Well, kind of, LOL. A little time passed before we actually started dating, but that totally set things in motion. :D )

And international buddies are the bestest! :D *hugs back*
