headed to Denver for the week, then I gotta get real about this whole moving to a new city thing.foobarnacle (What does that mean again?!) was an abstract internet friend…until we realized we knew each other in real life. oh tumblr!
The internet is a surprisingly small place. Abstract internet friend came first, I think, because I recognized you that one day at Alison’s from tumblr pictures, and I don’t think we’d met before that. And if we had, then WOW I’M AN ASS.
Foo bar = a placeholder name commonly used in computer programming, kind of like “John Doe” is a placeholder name for people. Not to be confused with FUBAR. A barnacle is a small sea creature that clings to things. Hence “a placeholder that never lets go.”
