O, The Wonders of the Internet

Every Monday afternoon I sit at my favorite coffee shop ever, Durango Joe's, and work on homework before i go to my hockey practice. Occasionally i will take breaks from the stresses of homework and log on to my favorite internet site, which happens to be facebook.
Yesterday afternoon I finished most of my homework and decided to check my facebook and discovered that i had a new friend request from a friend of a friend. I had never actually met him in my life, but decided to accept because I knew of him and he sounded cool. Since i had nothing better to do, I started chatting with and discovered that he was a super interesting person. He's originally from Spain and also lived in Honduras for a year. We hit it off right away because of my love of traveling and talked about how America compares to other countries in the world. He ended up calling me later that night (fun fact:I'm deathly afraid of talking on the phone but for some odd reason decided to answer anyway) to get to know me better and we decided to get dinner together before i had to go to hockey practice. Our mutual friend ended up joining us which was awesome because it got rid of the awkwardness of eating dinner with a complete stranger. Though, I have to say, it was terribly fun to talk and be real with someone I didn't know. We didn't talk about much, just our interests and hobbies and such, but it was very interesting to see the world through someone else perspective. That's really all i have to say for now.
