Those who have “fandom friends” or just internet friends know the thrill of just talking about meeting for the first time. When the time comes and you finally gather enough time and money to go wherever they are, whether it’s by train, plane, bus ticket, or by car, its an emotional adrenaline rush that keeps you from thinking straight.
You can't sleep, eat, or focus on anything else. You’re FINALLY going to meet your distant/long-lost sister. The person you’ve texted and FaceTimed during the late hours of the night just going on and on about how much another person on twitter annoys you, how much you like that one person you have strong feelings for and how your over-all day went.
Once you get closer to this person you can’t even imagine your life without them and, quite frankly, you don’t want to. You have such a connection with someone who lives hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles away. You can always count on them to answer that urgent text, have the best reaction to that screen shot, like that Instagram post as soon as they can, and they ALWAYS understand where you’re coming from.
Every celebrity and their best friend reminds you of what you two have because, well, you are a team. Partners-in-crime, really. Even though it may seem impossible because of the distance, you ALWAYS talk about meeting the celebrity that brought you together. Even just seeing them live seems like a dream come true.
No matter if you go a day or even a week without talking due to busy lives, not a day goes by that you wish that they lived just a little closer. You would be hanging out with them every chance you get. There’s just something so special about having a best friend out of state. You’re always planning every second of what’s going to happen when you finally meet when you both know how fast it’s going to go. No one can ever replace your internet best friend.
