My imaginary friends…

Last night I was watching the news and when  I saw that there had been an explosion in an apartment building in the Ukraine I immediately thought of Kompostela. There were also bad news stories from LA and I wondered if I knew anybody in Los Angeles and I thought that Veronica’s friend, Kat might live there.

If  I  see anything about  Alaska I think of Julie, Belgium is Jientje, Holland equals Xbox. London is Barbara,Bendy and Casdok and the list goes on and on..

My husband thinks that I am bonkers and gets quite grumpy when I try to talk  about my bloggy friends .. I am lucky in that I have my daughter Veronica to talk to and together we worry about Ivy, grieve with Dawn, hope for XBox and cry with Lotus..

Until I met my friend Mrs C, I  thought that Christians from the bible belt were all “Praise the Lord” and ” Pass the ammunition” types. As my personal experiences with Born again Christians had been negative to say the least. I am pleased that Mrs C has broadened my horizons and made me see that not all committed Christians are “froth at the mouth God botherers..”

I could go on and on but I have spent enough time, “Playing on the computer”  as the spouse calls it. In order to keep the peace I need to do some token housework so it looks like I have actually done something this morning, *sigh* Then I can turn on the cricket and hope that the Aussies whomp the Proteas..

Thank you my imaginary friends, you all mean a lot to me …

    Well bless you, you mean lots to us too (well, me anyway!). Thank you for thinking of me. I think of you and Veronica often. (((hugs)))

    I know!! And every time I hear/see something about Australia or Tasmania, I think of my “friends” there. People think I’m nuts and I don’t care. I’ve learned to only speak of the people in my computer to people who would understand… the rest just don’t get it.

    LOVE YOU!!!! I’m glad you live in my computer, too. I think about people all over the globe like that, too.

    BTW I am hoping your mum’s Christmas was so extra spectacular that she’s still amazed at how great it was. You haven’t blogged about it yet, so I’m assuming it was just too wonderful to relate.

    :]

    I often think of you guys somewhere “down there” in Tassie whenever they mention The Apple Isle finally getting electricity (only kidding 😛 ) or that damn Boganvillainy 😉
    Cheers, M’Dears 😀

    My husband understands, and he loves it I have friends from all over the world. And they don’t just live in my computer, they ARE very real to me!!
    I’m grateful for your friendship Kim, I’m so glad we “met”! And I have the same concerns when I hear the news sometimes!

    Praise the lord and pass the ammunition….

    funniest thing I’ve heard all day. I’ve not had breakfast yet, but anyway.

    I can’t explain, I’m the worlds biggest cynic when it comes to online friendships, one click and they are gone forever, you know?

    But there are some that I will be eternally glad I’ve made.

    I love that you and all the others live in my computer, turning it on is like having you all visit at once.

    Off topic, I finally found my camera instruction books. Oh My God, the stuff I didn’t read before I lost them. Macro, night photos, 3 minute videos..

    I love you.
    You are one of the most amazing women!

    I’m still alive and still reading and commenting your blog:)

    But of course that explosion is horrible thing… We never know when is our end. Perhaps it makes us (or maybe some, for example you and me, value every minute of our life…

    But still Merry Christmas and HAppy New Year!

    Another of the few posts I missed… I totally laughed out loud at your “praise the Lord and pass the ammunition” comments!! Because I’m totally a Christian from the Bible Belt – lol! Yeah, we are not all crazy crazies… (but trust me, I know my fair share of those who make the rest of us look bad – unfortunately). Anyway… just wanted you to know you made me laugh… 🙂
