| 88. I met two of my dearest friends through DU |
|
(lookin' at you, Lyric and Rhythm)
and I have had the great pleasure of meeting and making friends with several others as well. Overall DUers seem to be a pretty decent bunch of humans.
|
| -Curious... How Many Of You Have Actually Met Another DUer In The Flesh ??? |
