One of the things people don't do often is talk about the good things they've done or have right now. Sometimes being away from home is hard, so sharing helps!

So what's one good thing in your life right now? Yesterday, I got a cat out of a tree! It wasn't very happy but the owner thanked me a lot.

Sounds about right.

Most people I've met here through the network, I haven't seen very many face to face I didn't already know.

[There was the masq, but the whole anonymity aspect of it kind of took that away.]

[supersweet]

Yeah, but it's easy to meet up with people. Everyone wants to know someone.

[ Jon met so many people face to face after his posts. It was a great way to know people. ]

[alchemyfreak]

[He's not sure he agrees that everyone wants to know someone, but he smirks at that.]

It's a definite ice breaker, that's for sure.

[supersweet]

[ In Jon's case, it's true!! ]

It really helps to pave the way to meeting even more people.

[alchemyfreak]

In the worlds I was in before I don't think I've met so many people this fast. Well- talked to, at least... If you can call this "meeting".

[supersweet]

Sure it is! Meeting people on the internet is just as real as meeting people anywhere else. So long as you're careful.

[alchemyfreak]

[He had to laugh at that]

We didn't really have the internet where I was before, so this whole thing is pretty new to me.

[supersweet]

Don't worry. You'll get used to it super quickly.

[alchemyfreak]

I'm working on it. My roommates have been trying to help.

[Bless their patient hearts.]

I didn't come from a world with this stuff, and the others I was in .... nothing was quite this advanced.

[Laptops are still a mystery to him, they just seem like giant phones.]

[supersweet]

You're probably not the only one.

[ Though it still blew Jon's mind to know people didn't have the internet. But he was fairly well-read, considering who his mother was. ]

I don't think anyone's gonna mind.

[alchemyfreak]

I imagine, with all the worlds people come here from.

[Things he never thought he'd say as if it was no big deal.]

They don't so far, but I'm sure it can be a little frustrating. I know the disbelief when I tell anyone is starting to get old for me, at least.

[supersweet]

Can't be worse than everyone asking you where your parents are.

[alchemyfreak]

[Quietly.]

That doesn't get any easier, kid.

[supersweet]

[ Jon shrugs. ]

Guess not.

[alchemyfreak]

But you have someone here, so that's good right?

[some version of his father, at least.]

[supersweet]

Yeah, my dad's here at least.
