Have you guys met online/fanfic friends in real life? If so, who was the first one you met, and what was it like?
I think the first people I met off of AC were Ashley and Rachel in Minneapolis back during the Unbreakable tour. I didn't actually hang out with them that much because I wanted to roam around and see the state fair and they wanted to chill out by the venue and wait for the boys.
However when Julia and I met up to go see NKOTBSB it was sort of on a whim. I didn't want to go to another BSB show alone so I asked if she was going to the Toronto show. She said she was and we ended up going to so many shows after that and clicked pretty much instantly. So that was wicked.
I have met a whole bunch of other people through cruising as well - Julie, Rose, Tracy, Chrissy, Jen, Hannah. It's sort of a weird experience having all your online friends in the same room! I remember having the urge to check twitter (because I am a terrible addict) when we were at that mexican restaurant in 2011 and realising that 90% of the people whose tweets I cared about were sitting right there.
Also, I am suuuuuper stoked because this summer I finally get to meet up with my friend Jess who is my 1D partner in crime. We are going to a show in Chicago and I often forget about the concert when I think about my excitement for that. LOL.
