I'm in the UK, os that a foreigner too??
Isn;t this jyust the beauty of the net... I now have wonderful friends all over the world!!!
I am actually meeting a friend I have had online for 5 years! We are going to be partying hard I think!! i also met my husband on line... luclkily we were only 2 hours apart!! I have met the most wobderful, wonderful people in the world on the net... OK, some I may only know them by what they write and their photos, but I love them the same as if they were my non-cyber world. They are all over the world, and I love that.

> May be the hot weather is to blame, depression getting worse because of that etc...nonetheless, i feel judged somehow: i know i shouldn't feel like that: most of you folks have been kind to me, but i'm scared about the stereotype kind of thing.(Do you know what i mean?) My nation is not very well seen world wide (mafia and things like that) so i wonder how you guys are depicting me inside your heads: you know: the italian stereotype: short, fat and black haired holding a guitar in my hand singing "sole mio" and stuff like that.
> I know, it's a mind trip (a bad one!).
