Finding friends by accident...

This was just so funny, that I had to share it with you all. I got a very cool surprise today when I realized that one of my friends on Facebook is also one of my friends here at myLot. I am way addicted to the games in Facebook - Farmville, Farm town, Mafia Wars. There's this one thing for Mafia Wars where you can add friends to get a bigger Mafia. I was kinda hesitant to do that in the first place because I'm kinda particular about my Facebook. So I figured out that I could add the people for Mafia Wars, then delete them from my friends list so they aren't "keeping up" on me, but they'll stay as part of my Mafia so I can win more stuff - or lose less often. Well, there was this one person that I had requested as a friend, who accepted. But when I went to join up on Mafia, I was ignored. Because of the way Facebook is, the people on your friends list will become involved with your other games too - like my farms - so this person ended up as my neighbor in Farmville. It had been a couple days since I had requested to join up Mafias and hadn't gotten a response so I was going to delete this person. But, while I was tending to my friends' farms, this persons had come up and when I got there I was blown away that it was one of my friends here - actually, one of my earliest and still active friends! It was so cool because the person asked me to harvest some of their crops and I asked "Hey, do you know me?" and the reply was "From myLot?" We were both using the same nicknames there that we have here! And to think I was THIS close to removing that friend! Have you ever accidentally found a friend from one social site on another one?

I had a lot of dual coverage from here and Gather as well. A bunch of people also joined Yuwie. I did not care for it and did not stay active there. It tended to make my computer not feel well, but that is beside the point. I had other friends on other forums, some of which have failed. I keep having this hankering to go back to Gather, because I would like to see if I ever figured out how to really earn on there. I did not do well at the time, but things may have changed.

I know that I went from 48 points to 100 in a day and still haven't figured out how or why.

That would be a yes from me! LOL. I have a couple of sites that I am on and find a lot of friends that I have in common on other sites. Even some that live close to me that I never knew.

This hasn't really happened to me before - in the 15-some-odd years I've been on-line... Although I have found out that people I've chatted with did live around me. Oh, thanks for tending to my farm :)

I really like some of the games, but finding a myLot friend by accident that was was pretty cool!
