scotland - the visitees

i met some random girl online about a year ago on omegle.com. it gives you a stranger to talk to and we got paired up. we spent an hour or so chatting about life and whatnot and when we were signing off we decided to exchange email info. i remember that i saved her address as "michelle good chat on omegle." i especially liked her because of her knowledge of and interest in the english language, pop culture, and her sense of humor (humour).

from then on we chatted regularly, usually in the evenings. we shared details about our lives, sent links back and forth all the time, googled a LOT (like if there was a limit we'd have reached it), and got acquainted. over the course of the year we built a pretty strong friendship, one that is rarely paralleled these days (well, in our lives anyway). we got to know each other as well as two people can on the internet, i'd say, so when my two week long spring break came up i knew just what i wanted to do.

meet my newest best friend.

here we are together. finally.

me and michelle

michelle and her husband paul being cute as they got ready for a picture

the picture

paul, a scotsman, really tested my listening skills with his accent

i mean... can we BE any cuter?

i can't really put into words what it was like to meet her, but i'll try. she was JUST what i expected, the exact person i had gotten to know and love on the internet over the past year. she's charming and witty and sweet and lovable, easy to get along with, considerate, very english, educated, funny, sensitive, curious, and the tiniest bit ... shall we say, detail-oriented? haha, it's one of her most endearing features.

the next few posts will be about the adventures of christie and michelle. buckle up.
