Grr. — Description
Okay, History: I have this one friend who I've known online for at least three years (actually, I have a whole lot more than one, but let's just ignore that fact for the moment). We talk almost every night, we give each other birthday presents (usually in the form of drawings posted online), we are easily as close as any two offline friends.

So, about a week before Christmas, I get a package in the mail from her. It was a CD she made, along with a bunch of pictures she drew and the original copy of one of my favorites of her online drawings. I LOVED it. I was running around the house screaming and shoving the picture into people's faces and trying to memorize all the songs on the CD and having a great time. My mom kinda avoided my ecstasy, and while I was in the living room re-reading the playlist of the CD, I heard her saying to Dad, in this absolutely horrified voice, "She's giving her ADDRESS out?! I can't believe that! Doesn't she KNOW better?!!"

>.O I can NOT tell you how many times this has HAPPENED! My parents are fully and firmly convinced that every one of my friends online, no matter how long I've known them, no matter how well I know them, no matter how many times we've talked, no matter how many times we've made each other birthday presents and get-well cards, no matter how many times we've stood together to support each other, no matter how close we are, are vicious and bloodthirsty child rapist axe murderers.

So yeah, I'm giving my address out. I'm not gonna stop anytime soon. Live with it.
