Ponder Post

Oh hey, alliteration! *ahem* Well, I could call this a curious post or something as well. I was just wondering.

We're an entire social network of friends, you see. We're strangers since we technically don't know each other (ah, unless I know you in real life) besides maybe fandom interests and once in awhile stayed tuned to each other's real life,

That's something very deep to think about. If you would've asked this years earlier they would look at you weird and then say, "get some real friends."

But now a days the internet has opened so many doors and is a lot more common to befriend people online and find different from different age groups and cultures that are interested on things that at times you can't share with, well the friends you physical know....

so once you feel the connection with one and two and so on online friends, they become your friends... you just can't tease them and bully them in person xD

And yeah, I would question about what happened to so and so if I would stop seeing her(since most of my lj friends are girls xD) posts...

And this was a long post xD

I agree. The internet has enabled me to make some pretty lasting friendships. Especially with people of like mind who I might not be able to *squee* with or share certain parts of my personality with in person. Well, that is unless we somehow live nearby and manage to set up a time to hang out/meet. Then we'd squee and hug and be goofballs in person too. xD I think I got distracted again.

I can't believe you got this xD. NOw that I look at it I see many mistakes Dx! I should like proofread xD

YEah, same here... that's how I've meet new friends. Frankly even in rl I love to make friends from different cultures 'cause I love to learn about different backgrounds but to have the opportunit to learn even more through the internet is just amazing :)

Yeah, it is. Lots of people go, "Internet friends aren't real friends", but sometimes I do beg to differ. Not on all occasions is this true, but sometimes there are exceptions. :]

<33 Long posts are okay with me~
