The first time meeting someone randomly "off the net" wasn't me, it was my uni mate Joanne. We were going to the pub and she invited two absolute randoms off ICQ along. One guy was very very boring and in his 30s, which was hilarious since we were just kids really. The other guy was mid-twenties and worked in Burger King. I remember the night well - we ended back at student halls, and at that point I was the only one authorised to be in there, the girls had all been evicted weeks earlier. One of the guys set off the fire alarm, and they all legged it off the grounds. I stayed, cos I hadn't done it, and I lived there. Fire engine showed up, and it was just me in my coat, hammered; and everyone else in their jammies and dressing gowns. I didn't hide that I thought it was hilarious, and I was hated by everyone in halls for the remainder of the year.
