and this got him and me talking about why people are on-line...or at least why i'm on-line...or, more correctly, why i'm still on-line...anyway, this is what i came up with...
him: just be you
me: *smile*
that's what i do...sometimes not that wonderfully, but i'm always me...that's the one thing i'm sure of...
it's funny, but when people ask me about my experience on-line...i almost always get asked if i lie...and i tell htem i don't have to...my friends love me for who i am...that's what's so great about the net...i can be who i am, and still be loved...
it's so true...it was the first place, and thus-far the only place, i could be me...happy, sad...fat, thin...friendly, mean...and i was still accepted with open arms...
that's exactly why people are on-line...often lonely, sad people...who lose that all when they find they can be loved...

and that's why i'm on-line...that's why i've stayed on-line...that's why i'll be on-line...to love, and be loved...after all, that's what life's all about, isn't it?
