Oh, Fegan...?

A long time ago, I met someone online. We are talking about that time when Tumblr was the thing and all the cool kids were microblogging. I met M in one of the many forums Tumblr bloggers met to avoid the incessant buzz of being 'Tumblr Famous'. So we clicked and we started talking for hours online. HOURS. He lived in Europe and I in the States, so meeting was not something we ever thought about doing. I could have gone to Europe or he could have come visit America, but it was not that serious. 

Until it got serious. He wanted a change. He felt stifled at home. I was into him big time. We were about the same age, starting careers and hungry about life. Then I came to my senses. I was not going to travel to Europe to meet someone who I've seen (we used to cam) but about whom I knew very little. I was not going to have him travel here to do... what? So we called the whole thing off. Cole Porter would have been proud. And I was relieved.

So this @TeganandSara documentary gave me equal parts dejà vu and slight PTSD. I also remembered dear Jon-Tomas and what he went through with his online beau...My advice? Keep an eye open. No, keep BOTH eyes wide open. One never knows...

And if you have Hulu, watch this documentary. It's scarier than the whole Huluween thing...
