I met a guy from Eastern Australia when I was in college and we spent a couple of years talking on the phone for hours at a time, but never met in person. Nice to see someone had the guts!

He lived 15 minutes away though. We had almost met many times in our lives too, which is the scary 1 deg of separation between everyone in Perth. ... But I remember those innocent late-1990s all-night chats with fledgling love interests on the other side of the world, friends getting 'married' in IRC, and the heartbreak when your overseas 'lover' found someone in their own town.

Excellent story, that captures the whole experience perfectly - definitely deserved the win. Posted this video on my blog too just because I can relate to it so much.
