I was just wondering if anyone that posts here has actually met any other portkey member in real life (opposed to fake life jk).

Met anyone form portkey? Probably not.
Then again I probably only know about 5 people who like HP. crying.gif When will they come to the light?
MalfoyMyFerret
I have a friend from school that comes here sometimes too, does that count?
darkstar
Not as of yet... Though I am planning on meeting someone from PK next school year. It should be fun.

Max LoneWolf
Possibly meeting Msscribe and Heaven this summer.
Msscribe in Penn and Heaven in England biggrin.gif

Also will visit other PK members if he travels in the future.

I've met Clarabella21, Shelives 45 minutes away and I want to meet Max Lonewolf who will be near me in July!
SamanthaMarie
Ive met Batgirl... but I knew her before PK, we go to school together and are best friends.

But... I guess if all goes to plan, Bg and I will end up running into Max at Niagra Falls this New Years.

(Sidenote: If anyone does meet someone from the net...please be careful! Go with someone and make sure you know them pretty good. Im not saying that anyone from PK is a psycho rapist, but... Ive just seen too many 20/20's and this is my worry-wort mode kicking in.)

LOL, I`ve met you, Chico! Although that doesn`t really count...I knew you before our portkey days........
Gaia13
I tried to get a friend from school to post here, but it didn't really work out.
Other than that, I haven't met any of you in real life. Weird.
(And I'd like to agree with Sammie's warning. Do be careful if you meet anyone from the net).

No, unfortunately I have never met any one from Portkey. Maybe I have walked by them at the mall or something, but certainly haven't personally met anyone. I only know one other person who may like hp as much as I do, but she doesn't really go on this site. sad.gif

Oh, well, at least I have all you guys I can talk about hp with! biggrin.gif

brittmizit

Hmm, A friend of mine from school...Fire Bird. But that's all.

Well, I've met Moonchylde. But I knew her way before our portkey days. I did get her started on here. But other than that, I haven't met anyone.

yes, my best friend is Hermione Granger. we go to the same school and we've been best friends since the 6th gr. she slept over my house once. *childish tone*We stayed up ALL night! and we went grocery shopping at 1 in the morning. and all summer, we've been goin to the mall 24/7. so ya, she's very special to me. she's a great friend. so *takes out a lollipop* bye! go talk to her ome time, she's REALLY nice!
Facade
No I don't think so. I might have passed someone by in the street. But to my knowledge I know none from PK in real life...
Baron
I haven't met anyone personally from Portkey. And I don't really like meeting people from the net.
sunshinebelle
Nope! Never have!

But ive met someone that I talked to off-net from a different board!! Since she lived close to me.. (but that was from my Young and the Restless days rolleyes.gif)

LOL anyone from Alberta, Canada?

Sakura1287
I have never met anyone here outside of the net. I would like to some day, but then there is that whole freaky dont meet internet people no matter how well you know them..

Eh, i would like to meet the other writers in the DLA. thumbup.gif

trying to get a friend of mine to post here but he's not moving very fast..lol...he's another one of those without a real ship, besides D/G, because I converted him. whistling.gif
dreamcatcher_3107
ALL of my real-life HP friends are R/Hr shippers. crying.gif How sad, right?
ratgirl_84
Uhhhh... no, not that I know of. I used to have a friend that posted on Artistic Alley (then became fed up with the whole HP fandom), but she was into Snape/Hermione *gags*, so she never came on here. And I also knew her before HP even existed sooo.... I suppose she doesn't count.
Well, at least she's as against R/Hr as I am. In fact... i've never actually met a R/Hr shipper in real life... thank god.

love
Heather

I'd love to meet you guys...but I haven't. *sigh* My friends think Harry Potter is boring. Stupid. Whatever. Which is rather sad, because I have no one to discuss my obsession with! I tried to get my best friend here but she was all like, "Oh. Um, let's go somewhere else" so I guess that didn't work out. Maybe I passed you guys on the street...I live in NYC, and you might just be one of the tourists! *hopeful* wub.gif
Mule
I have a friend who might join eventually, and one who wants to join but can't since her computer's broken...The one who might join, Rachel, is really cool, but the only reason she'd join is if I made her. She doesn't read Harry Potter, and I'm trying to convince her that they're really good books. I figured that the best way to start was by bringing her here. Now if she'll ever get around to joining...
Rhenn
I'd love to meet people from PK.
I've never met anyone from here or the web. I'm afriad I'll run into a lunatic somewhere....

merged with similar topic - PK mods

I thought it'd be interesting to see how many of us actually have relationships in real life.

I only know one member who is my half-sister, but I've never actually met any other member from here in person. I usually don't meet people from the internet. Have any of you guys gotten a screen name and then told a friend to get one too and now you chat here? How does it affect your convos on here?
Arm_Wild
I just added two PK members as friends on myspace a week ago.
Otherwise, I don't know anybody "personally". Like on MSN or anything...

I'm always open to it though. It would totally rock to make personal friends on PK. My MSN, Yahoo messenger, and myspace identities are all in my profile.
Hermione's Twin
I got four of my RL friends to join PK, and I just saw two of them yesterday. tongue.gif The other two I haven't seen in awhile, but that's the way life goes.

Actually, I have met three PK members in RL. One of them I've met twice since she and I live in the same region. It's a lot of fun and you know that you always have one thing to fall back on in conversation. wink.gif

Jennifer
Hobbes
I know a few. I was Wonk before it closed, so I talk i_miss_snuffles, and LadyAkako. I talk to Miss Mady and constantly bother other people on the board for advice. And then there's livejournal...
Down With Ginny!
Me and my sister don't even talk about the stuff we post on PK. no.gif She's hardly ever on anyway. I actually don't even realize when she posts on threads most of the time.
Miss Mady

She calls me "profile stalker". Psh, I'm not... that much...

Yeah, I talk to Hobbes, and I've just added Azure Jessica and H/HrForever (Melissa) on Yahoo.

Miss Mady
Accio Harry!
Okay, so I chat (on MSN) with brown, bamaslamma29, catwork, Miss Mady (new today!), Hermione's Hero, HHr fan, Pygmie73, and a few people from EW and HF.

Oh, Jer, just added you to my MSN!
Adam
Never. I've been here for over 3 years (god I'm old!) and I have spoken to one PK member over the phone, and never met anyone else. None of my friends are on here...or even know about this site!!

However, interestingly, as I'm a fanfic moderator, I once casually dropped that information into a job interview (I am an office administrator professionally) and as it's something I do voluntarily, plus what I do is very useful skills for the jobs I go for...it now goes on the CV!
moogle
can't say I have met anyone. I have only talked to two people the whole time I have been on forums who have actually been to new Zealand, so I guess I can't expect to actually meet anyone.
xander127
I don't know anyone personally but if anyone would like to add me to msn my address is in my profile.

Moogle where in New Zealand do you live?

*waves from across the water*
Arm_Wild
Malinda and Scout, I've "approved" your adds or however you say it lol. smile.gif

Xander, I added ya. Is your address really xander699@msn.com? *confused* I thought msn addresses were all hotmail.com... blush.gif



i_miss_snuffles
I got a friend in RL to join, but she never really stuck around. tongue.gif I do believe my sister also joined this site..but never posted.

I have a lot of PK members (mainly Wonks) that are on my LJ flist, and I talk to some on YM occasionally. *waves at Qualyn*

There is one member here (who doesn't really post anymore), that is very special and dear to me, who I met on this site, is my best friend, and who I talk to every day on YM. I've never met this person in RL, but I hope to (soon, hopefully). *squishesss person*

So yes, I suppose I do know some PK members on a more personal level.

--Sabrina
Miss Mady
I've just added Malinda (Accio Harry!) and some H/Hr members of the Emma Watson.net Forums. I haven't talked to Qualyn (since two days ago... ooh!) I've gotta report on my profile stalkingness... thumbup.gif LOL Qualyn.

Ah that was you. tongue.gif lol random people add me all the time so I tend to just accept but not talk to them. I only just noticed your reply in here and realised who it was. Im not actually busy I just keep it on that to stop the insane number of tells I get all day sleep.gif so feel free to come say hello though you will have to wait as I'm just about to head off to Tafe and then later the movies (seeing Tenacious D In: The Pick Of Destiny tongue.gif).
Accio Harry!
On a side note, Jer is the best friend ever. He helped an old computer illiterate woman figure out how to put music on her itunes, LOL. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Xander, lol my msn names have thrown ppl for a loop quite a few times!

Malinda, thanks for the awesome publicity! tongue.gif *GASP* calling yourself old in your late 20s?! biggrin.gif
Your new siggy is great; combining your two obsessions!

Miss Mady, I don't mind AT ALL! Thanks for the add! thumbup.gif

Accio Harry!

Like me, LOL. I was looking at my contact list thinking "who in the world..." until I clicked on your pic and it changed to Yellowcard - dead giveaway!!!
Harry/Hermione 4eva
I got a few friends of mine to join, but they didn't stick around... typical! lol Not that I mind! PK is my sanctuary! hehe.

I have a ton of fellow PK members on my MSN list though and I looove to talk to them all. biggrin.gif
My msn address tends to confuse people.. it's completely different to my SN here! hehe! Just_breathing_hp@yahoo.com is slightly different to Harry/Hermione 4eva hmm? tongue.gif
