there's no word for "a person who you've met online, but never in person, and interact with in some way on an almost daily basis and has had a profound impact on your life."

With me it's sushi, and specifically omakase. I knew we would never go to the Hump, but I can't believe no more omakase.

AT work several people asked how I was doing and asked me about my friend who'd died. And I told them about her martial arts and the pink ginham and showed a picture someone had put up on FB - the black and white one of her looking so fierce. And I mentioned her absolute loathing for ScarJo as Black Widow beause of the terrible physicality. Not just all the stunt doubles but the poor gun handling.
When Age of Ultron comes out I'm going to be looking closely for all of that.

Has someone contacted Naomi in London? I can't recall her name here. And Jars?
Yeah, I'm annoyed that I broke my diet last night and ate my work frustration feelings and then woke up this morning all "will be better today" and bam...a lot better reason to eat my feelings than work stuff. Sigh.
As some were saying in Natter, the idea of her passing while on the computer seems fitting and kinda comforting, in a way.
Has anyone gotten in touch with Fay?
