Virtual friends

[rudy_o]

Last few days back, one of my real-life friend asked me,

 

"Why do you have too many foreigners in your Facebook friends list?"

 

"They're my friends. I mean, yes, we have never met each other, but we have some things in common,"

 

"But, you don't know them, do you?"

 

"I don't, but, I do. It's..."

 

And she laughed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hate to have the barrier between real-life and virtual friends.

 

Discuss.

Ugh, sounds like my parents. D: My friends who have Facebook think it's kinda weird that I have foreign friends, but they haven't questioned it.

 

Except for my bff when Arnim liked her comment about balls. :laugh3:

It's terrible when I'm telling a story about something one of my friends on here said or something and then they ask me who it was and I'm like oh, you don't know them. :blank:

once you start to meet "virtual people" in real life it opens up the possibility that you may meet them all. And it works, just look at all the friendships (and relationships) that have developed from Coldplaying alone. Think of it as being 3-D, rather than the 2-D run of the mill stuff.

I think real friends are just jealous about that you have many foreign friends. anyway, doesn't matter if you never met them and never will, they're still friends

See, I'd love to do this. Just go and meet some of the people on here IRL, but my parents already have a fit that I talk to people I've never really met.

And the fact that our names, specifically the name structure, that are totally different makes explanation job even more tricky. :\

They want you to stop talking to people you never going meet?

[Crests]

Mine too, Laura. :wacky:

WE SHOULD STALK EACH OTHER JUST TO STICK IT TO THE MAN. :lips:

Or not.

I'm so going to meet Coldplaying members that live in the US, once I arrived there next year :dance: :smug2:

It's always Alias Day for the boss! :tongue:

It's just that they're extremely paranoid, and think that everyone on here is a pedophile.

LET DO EHT BABEH :charming:

You can be calm, I'm not :laugh3:

[pickle]

I know. :P

[rudy_o]

I hate time zone differences. And it's already 4:30 AM over here. :nice:

[pickle]

Go to bed. :nice:

[Mrs.Chatterbox]

Me too, it's 11:31 PM

My parents and siblings think it's okay, my sister met her current boyfriend over the internet so they shouldn't have a problem :laugh3:

Majority of my close friends aswell would know that I would have friends on the internet but they have never commented on it that much. The most they have said is "Oh Emma, you an your internet friends" when I told them about the scrapbook :lol:

 

 

Oh and it's kind of odd introducing real life friends to internet friends over the internet :blank:

[rudy_o]

"Oh Emma, you an your internet friends"

 

I hate that statement to death :freak:

 

"Rudy, you and your internet friends, huh?"

 

:veryangry:

 

It sounds more like teasing and mocking to me, though. :disappointed:

[Prince Myshkin]

my sister met our current boyfriend over the internet

 

some people would find it weird you share a boyfriend with your sister

i am one of these people

[The Escapist]

I probably know a lot of my internet friends better than my real life ones. Though their are friends that I have in real life that I only know over the internet.

:veryangry:

But my friends usually follow it up with

"Only messing with you, It's actually quite cool"

:wacko:

 

 

But it would be irritating if it was just that :\

:freak:

Seriously messed up typo.

We don't share a boyfriend.

[Prince Myshkin]

my best ex was from the internet

i use that to justify the time i spend there
