Aug 18, 2009 21:31

I don't know if you all read this yesterday, but I tweeted a link to this article by Seth "Tower" Hurd (and omg I love Tower, he's my favorite radio dj) about friends, loss, & social networking. I really liked the article and it got me thinking. He mentions in there how we can only have so many good friends, and that if we try for any more, we end ( Read more... )

This post has my brain so full of thoughts. I'l get back to onces I can get them all in order.

I stumbled upon Gaby's account a few days ago. It filled my eyes with sparklies.(and my heartplace with the marshmallows.)
1.I suppose I have quite a few more acquaintances. Real friends are a bit harder to come by wich is what makes them so valuable. I have a small circle of real friends.
2.Pretty much You guys and Michael, who I don't talk to nearly as often as I should.
3.Tomatoes.
4. The power of the babe?

1. I have more acquaintances, but my few really good friends mean a lot to me. I realized that from hanging out yesterday and today with Sarah.
2. You guys, cause you are my only online friends. D= I've never made online friends before you all, so I really don't know what it's like to have online friends that aren't, you know, real. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
3. Mangoes or watermelon I always like, but I really really love nectarines and peaches, but it's a conditional love. I only like them when they're crunchy.
4. ...Because I do?

Yes. This post is so true I can't even describe it.

Being at Bryanston and spending from 7am - 11pm (minus 3 hours for lessons) everyday with my close friends for 12 days showed me just how close you can get to people. However, going back to the 'real world' showed me how useful facebook is!

1. I have no idea! I prefer the mix of real and online friendship that I have at the moment.
2. Yup, you guys, Hattie and Tasha basically.
3. Raspberries! Once on a school trip we went to a service station and only bought raspberries.
4. NO IDEA! :P

1. Which kind of friend do you have more of, real friends or acquaintances? Which do you prefer?
Probably acquaintances. I like the friends.
2. Do you have any online friends that you consider real friends?
Some of you guys (some of you I don't know really well. Sorry.), Vince, Ray, Jessi (she works in the circus!), this crazy bunch:
