Write About Three Friendships You Made Online.
So first is @Tammys85 who I met back in the Bubblews days. (She tried getting me to join here back then or maybe when it had closed, but I just didn't want to that's why I made my account one year but started writing another year). We became close due to things we have in common like the WWE and our favorite wrestlers, the Golden Girls, Linkin' Park, and both of us unfortunately having lost someone we love to Lung cancer. But have grown into great friends because on top of what we have in common, we love and respect one another. And only want the other happy.
The second would be @Skydream who I met through @Tammys85. And like my friendship with Tammy, we also got close because of the WWE and favorite wrestlers. Plus things like the show FRIENDS, and our common enemy.. anxiety. But mostly, we got close because of our love for the holidays and snow. Which is why we call each other "Holiday Bestie". We also have each others backs, and root the other on no matter what the situation is.. and send each other posts that remind us of them.. without even knowing the other needed it. Like I sent her motivational and friendship posts daily for over a week last month because I knew she was having a hard time, without being told she was.. it's just a very solid friendship.
And last but not least.. @juliaacv . This woman is like the Aunt I never had. Seriously. My real life aunts could never compare to her (sorry not sorry). She is so kind, loving, and thoughtful. Seems to bake good too, which is always nice. Lol. We have enough in common, and some in an unfortunate way.. to never get bored when we talk. And she gets me, more than anyone else. And is there when I really need to vent. (And vice versa). I wish with all my might to meet her one day. It'll be one of the best days of my life - no doubt about it.

I remember becoming friends with you, and that is what I thought of as I began to read this post.
I'm very lucky feel like I am family to you, and you to me. 
I'm glad that you feel the same.
I remember meeting Jenn on the B site. I read a post that she put up on the day that she had Julian, that's why he is so special in my eyes.
And I am thankful for the very first friendship that I made on the B site. It was @Marlina. She is on this site too, and I do enjoy her posts and interacting with her.
I've actually met so many wonderful people on the B site and here as well. So many fun times, so much that I've learned and shared. I am thankful that Heather suggested (repeatedly) to me to come over to this site, and helped me get settled. A lot of wonderful people here, too many to mention.

I met a woman from Canada about the same time I met the idiot I was last married to. We met on ICQ. She and I became close through chat and also through telephone conversations.
It wasn't until my husband and I were married that we met for the first time. She and her better half traveled from Canada to Vermont to be at our wedding. She helped with the set-up and getting the hubby ready. I hugged her so tightly when I saw her. She is a blessing in my life. So glad that I met her.

One was a lady by the name of MMG, a real sweetheart if there ever was one..unfortunately, she passed away. Another one was Ann also known as arnie, still a FB friend, and Steel, someone who lives sort of in my area, who i met offline a couple of times.

@Courtlynn Oh definitely. We don't have to like or watch all of the same things to be close friends. But there are times when even I skip Raw or Smackdown, and I only watch the bigger PPVs now.

@Courtlynn Nobody would miss me here if I disappeared....
...and I don't really use FB anymore, so I don't even know what friends I have on there.

Whew, at first I thought there's a female tag-team in WWE called the Golden Girls! Then I realized I was reading it wrong. hahaha
