At some point (we later found out) we would "wait" for each other, cause at the beginning our meetings on gmail were "random".Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-35600272701548433452011-08-08T16:12:38.140+02:002011-08-08T16:12:38.140+02:00And, I may add, I must also thank the internet for...And, I may add, I must also thank the internet for bringing me and my boy together. :)<br />Because, even though we've known each other since we can remember, being from different generations (when we are kids at school, 3 years can be a huge difference, especially if the girl is the older one) we never made a connection, never really talked. And it took us a joke at each other, over a social network, to start a talk that lasted for eight hours online ... and that was the start of it. Fun, uh?Inês Seabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260649207350235189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-86822520259851120622011-08-08T15:52:38.697+02:002011-08-08T15:52:38.697+02:00:) :) You're sweet, thank you girl!
It was so ...:) :) You're sweet, thank you girl!<br />It was so fun reading this! I can imagine how exciting it must have been. I can relate to everything you said, because I think we must be close in age. We didn't grew in the world wide web, we saw it happen, and slowly take a part in our lives. I suppose it's easier for us to see both sides of it, the goods and the bads, and compromise in between.Inês Seabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260649207350235189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-75600215086914104902011-08-08T10:53:16.172+02:002011-08-08T10:53:16.172+02:00:)

When Skype came out my mom was the happiest, and still whenever we see each other online, she is like "ok, put the video conference":Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-70327389588067926932011-08-08T10:34:34.007+02:002011-08-08T10:34:34.007+02:00:)
Thank you.

We got together on skype with friends who were in different parts of the world and couldn't attend and, those who could, uploaded pictures on facebook for us to see. With two other friends (one from Spain and one from a small city in Buenos Aires province) we made a video dressed in ball gowns as if we were there and edited them to look as if we were chatting with each other at the party, then sent it to the bride to watch on the wedding night. It was hilarious, and moving, and overall I just felt thankful that this technology exists.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442166824598673183noreply@blogger.com
