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.”
