I'm I the only one who is curious about other pea's? I read what everyone writes and sometimes I just get myself thinking. Would she and I get along in real life? Does she have curly brown hair? Does she really talk like that in real life. You ladies just intrigue me I guess. Here are my top 3 burning questions 1. Who is that beautiful blonde baby in Peabays avatar. I almost don't want to know because it may ruin what I think 2. I'm not sure if she is still here. It was Nicole or something who was famous for handslaps. She always did *this*. Anyway, I thought she answered everything with kid gloves. I respect that, and wonder if she is like that in real life. I find it a great trait....JMO 3. I will not give names here.....because I'm not a shit stirrer. But I also wonder why people who hate each other, follow each other aroun, and comment back and forth with each other. I TOTALLY see no purpose in that, and it drives me insane. But, not insane enough to stop reading And no, they aren't trolls! So either my mind wonders way to much, or I'm bored now that school is in. Either way, this pod always has me thinking. Am I alone in this??

You're not alone!
I often wonder "would we get along in real life" about other refupeas.
I think my weirdness would turn a lot of refupeas off though.

I have a lot of imaginary pea friends.
And, let's just say, others I'm glad I don't know in real life. Probably more of those.

There are a few peas that I really like the personas they have on the board. I feel like a stalker sometimes though.

No, not really. I prefer the anonymity of the board. I think it's better not to over share. While there are some very nice peaple this place has a dark side.

Yup!
There are a couple of Peas that I just know we could be friends (at least in my mind we could be!)
And there are a few that I may not agree with politically, but I admire the way they present their opinions and would love to sit and chat and discuss because I love to hear many viewpoints.
And then there are a few peas......well.....

I think I like it better this way. It's like reading a book - you can "see" things in your mind the way you want them to be, but then if you watch a movie based on the book things and people sometimes looks so different. That's the way it is here. Our imaginary friends are only the way they let us see them with written words and we don't see their flaws (chin hairs, for example).

This is a perfect way of looking at it! I still have my burning questions, but I really wouldn't want to ruin the fact that I can imagine anyone, anyway I want them!!!

I enjoy most of the Pea's all the time.
But, there are a few that I know that I could never get a long with in real life.

I think I could be friendly with the vast majority of peas, good friends with a handful and wouldn't last long in the company of a few others - assuming their pea persona is accurate and not just anonymous bravado. I do have to wonder if those few can really operate a socially successful life if they really are the way they come across here, although they may not care to I guess. I definitely build up mental pictures of people - it's funny wondering how accurate (or not!) that image might be and it's funny wondering how people view me as a result of what I post here. Mostly I'm happy with it just the way it is.

I don't have no stinkin' flaws. Feel free to envision me as tall, slender, perky boobed, fine ass, the kindness of Mother Theresa, and I never, ever have morning breath.

You are not the only one who is curious. I also wonder who I would be friends with in real life. LOL!

I have brown, curly hair. I wonder sometimes too what others are like in person. I'm a lot more reserved and shy in person, but once you get to know me I am my pea persona.

In real life I can muddle along with most people, really click with some people, feel physically and emotionally drained with others and really really irritated, leading to dislike by some (some of the last 2 categories intermingle). I don't think my relationships with the peas would be any different. Take a look at my blog to find out what I've been up to

I've been fortunate enough to meet a few local Refupeas and they are wonderful ladies I think that our involvement in this board proves that we have more in common than we think ... there are a lot of other Refupeas that I'd love to meet I'm assuming that everyone knows that I have an unhealthy obsession with reality TV

Yes, I often wonder things too. Mostly things like "she would absolutely be my friend IRL". For example, there's 1 pea that I'm FB friends with. We don't really post on each other's wall, but I see her status updates and joke-type pics that she shares. I find we have the same sense of humor and love of wine But I don't want to seem too stalkerish to tell her how much I've noticed we have in common. I wonder if anyone ever thinks that about me? Pam

I have a few former peas from the photo board that I'm friends with on Facebook. That board was very close, back in the day, and I love all those ladies. I can honestly say that today, years later, I don't really look at names. I just read what interests me, comment occasionally and have no idea who I'm interacting with. I read the board daily, but I would never be able to tell you who is conservative or liberal or frankly, I probably couldn't even name five peas. Where should I turn in my membership card?

I know what you mean! So many people I think I would like IRL but you never know. Heck half of us could be guys posting as chicks (just kidding I hope).
There are others that are just so nasty I would hate to ever meet them.
Know I am trying to remember the person you asked about. I thought it was Kristine but now I am not sure.
Or was it Kristin

Other than this wonderful place, I don't have an active social media life. I'm not on FB, Twitter or anthing. I understand that people who spend a lot of time with social media do develop real and imagainary bonds with others they've never met IRL. In this vitural circle of aquaintances, I sometimes think I could be friends with some of these ladies. It's amazing how much personality comes thru in posts. After awhile, you can almost anticipate what certain people will say. You do feel you "know" someone.

There are a couple of people on this board who were super nice to me one time when I got jumped on by a few others. I never forgot their kindness and I always thought they would be wonderful friends to have in real life. I do think the great majority of people on this board are intelligent and thoughtful women with interesting insights. I don't keep track of who says what except in a few rare cases where something about them sticks with me. I barely can keep track of the people in my real life.

So do I. It is the best mind numbing way to end the day that I know of. Sadly, my husband has other options he likes better

Send the message. I would. I have a few pea-friends on FB that I really do feel like I "know" and that I would absolutely go out of my way to meet up with IRL.
