If you've been on the internet for any length of time, I'm sure that you've experienced "Missing Friend Syndrome".
This is where you've known someone online for a couple of years and yes, consider them a friend, but for whatever reason, never actually reached out and called them on the phone, and then suddenly, they are gone.
I've had this happen a few times. In one case, the person actually died, and it was devastating to everyone she had "known" online, as well as offline.
When it happens, it's a little disturbing to me...kind of like reading a book and being at a really good part...and then you lose the book.
Since I've started blogging, I've gotten involved in a few blogs. One that I had been reading, and commented in a few times, was called "The Daily WTF" over on dairyland, but which was not thedailywtf.com. Anyway, Rachelle (the blogger) had a potty mouth, and she was FUNNY.
Because of all that we've been going through, I hadn't caught up on my blog circle for awhile and decided to go see what Rachelle was up and DAMN IT...she's gone! Poof! Not just "hasn't posted in months", but the only entry on her site is "I'm outtie" - so it was an intentional thing.
It just makes me crazy when someone disappears like that :/
