Let's chat.

[Sacrum Silentium]

You know, plenty of us actually talk a bit outside of TAW. Me, Salvatore, Kyrie, Jo, etc... I always thought it would be a good idea to get to know some of the faces behind the monitors on a deeper level. For those comfortable with giving out addresses, maybe we can get some penpals going. I love that kind of thing. And of course there's the simply instant messaging approach, so if you wanted to add me here's my info:

AIM: reality.filter@gmail.com
MSN: btown_foog@hotmail.com

If anyone likes sending letters and stuff, feel free to PM me your address if you're serious about becoming penpals.

And of course, a shameless plug to my blog: http://blakemb.wordpress.com

If this thread takes off I'll edit it to add in information, excluding addresses of course.

:)

FrVasiliyFTW on AIM.

Anybody interested in being stalke... ahem, I mean being pen-pals, may also PM me.

And Blake and I are going on a road trip to Platina. It will happen. Anyone interested in going should indicate this in this thread.

[Orthosdoxa]

What's FTW?

[Sacrum Silentium]

FTW is for the win. It's a gamer term, I doubt you'd get it. :P

It's not... expletives. Promise.

[SeraphimSarov]

FTW is for the win. It's a gamer term, I doubt you'd get it. :P

It's not... expletives. Promise.

FTW is more than a gamer term these days. Just young adult internet slang. :P

And I doubt Fr. Vasiliy would be appreciative if I put expletives next to his venerable name!

[Sacrum Silentium]

Well it was BORN in gamer world. :P

It means 'is awesome', more or less.

I know it doesn't mean expletives! Sheesh!! :D And I also know what "for the win" means - how old do you think I am?! :mad:


;)

I don't do much chatting these days- it's all I can do to sit down a few times a day to read and write posts - but you guys have fun. :) I'll check out some of your blogs.

[-Kyriaki-]

:D My Mum thought it meant expletives *giggle*

Good to know that you understand us though.

[SeraphimSarov]

I have a blog I just started but the idea was to keep it anonymous, so it might be self-defeating to post it here... :P

[Nichole]

I love to chat! :D

[All4Christ]

ha. FTW does mean expletives if in the wrong context :-) But yes - the only way I would use it would be in the same context of what you all were saying.

Anyways - here's my info:

I could go into others - but I don't think they're used as much :-)

[SeraphimSarov]

Nobody else wants to go to Platina to visit the grave of Fr. Seraphim Rose with Blake and me?!

[jckstraw72]

umm i do! but i live in PA. when are you going? i was there in September ... its amaaaaaaaaazing! all the pilgrims received a bottle of oil from the lampada at his grave.

Holy Father Seraphim pray to God for us!!

[SeraphimSarov]

You already went! You're not invited!

(j/k)

I have no idea when this will happen. I live in the Chicago area and Blake is in W. Virginia (?), so who knows... whenever God wills it, if He wills it.

[jckstraw72]

well if i could swing it with work ill def go (i take off a lot though for OCF stuff... they might get tired of me eventually)

[SeraphimSarov]

Bah. Get thee to a monastery then!

[jckstraw72]

haha, we shall see. my gf might not like that.

[SeraphimSarov]

Only if you end up joining. ;-) I love spending time at monasteries.

[jckstraw72]

Just added you :cool:

[SeraphimSarov]

Just so people aren't offended with me, I should give notice that my dialup connection often cuts out without warning. Sometimes I can't re-establish the connection, and people should not take this as a sign that I don't want to chat. :-P

[Tsarina]

Nobody else wants to go to Platina to visit the grave of Fr. Seraphim Rose with Blake and me?!

Count me in!!! I've been wanted to go there since I learned of Blessed Seraphim Rose! :tutu:

[JuvenalyMartinka]

I would love to go...

Platina is like 6 hrs... if only there were people closer and we could put together a car pool type thing that would be neatness.

[-Kyriaki-]

*sulks over on the other side of the world*

Anyone want to buy my plane ticket? :angel:

[SeraphimSarov]

Yeah it would!

My fiancee and I may go on our honeymoon out west this summer... just might have to drop by. :)

[JuvenalyMartinka]

It's interesting that the OCA church in Tempe, Az used to organize Pilgrimages to Saint Anthony's Greek Monastery in Florence.. I was never able to go but would have loved to. Even more so to Platina...

The pictures online are awesome though.

[MacariusRomanus]

I like your blog "Dust and Ashes"; very thoughtful posts, unlike mine!

I'd love to go on a pilgrimage, as long as we get to meet the cute Orthodox girls =D. Just kidding. Sort of.

Anyway, my aim is: monsieurtode

In Christ,
John

[-Kyriaki-]

*wonders if she is a cute Orthodox girl* :confused:

A taken one, anyway. Pilgrimage sounds good though!

[kamikat]

Hey, Blake, when did you change your name? It wasn't until I read the OP that I figured out it was you. I had a lot of creeps on AIM so I pretty much gave up on it. If someone needs me, they can pm me here to open AIM up. There, I'm andreahg. I'm logged onto Skype 24/7 as kamikat2. Does anyone use Twitter?
