Based on their Questions and Answers, do you come to feel like certain people here on Fluther have come to feel like special people in your life?
Every Jelly on here is special to me! I grew up in Northern Virginia, because of this, unfortunately I am some what of an elitist. So, when it comes to Flutherites I feel as if you only understand us if you are one, so I am very close to my jellies.
Do you ever feel like you would like to know them as real people whose names and ages and life situations matter to you and yours do to them?
I already do!
Do you ever wish you could talk to them on Skype or the phone?
I only talk to one on the phone, he is special. :) Although I talk to a bunch of jellies through facebook, IM, snail mail, skype, oovoo, twitter, etc. You name something I am involved with online, and I could tell you at least 5 jellies that are involved in it too.
Is there anything odd or strange about this?
I don’t find anything odd about this. Fluther is a Q & A site, yes, but one of the things that makes this site so appealing and work so well, is that Andrew, Ben, and Tim understand that it is a community too. With that said there are so many interesting people on here, that are just genuinely good, that I don’t find it odd at all to enjoy keeping in contact with them outside of Fluther.
