My friends on the internet, I DEFINATELY class as real friends. Without a shadow of a doubt. I dont even need to list the names of people just from JoviTalk for example who I would treat as normal everyday friends, because they all know who they are. The majority of them, they just happen to live in other parts of the country, or other parts of the world. It doesnt mean that they are not your friends.

Looking back a few years ago, there is no way, i would have anticipated this, but there is no doubt in my mind. Non-internet users believe that a lot of folk on the internet are very weird people, and the majority of them, seriosuly arent. Of course you do get the odd strange person, but thats only to be expected. I know the people who I have become friends with via the internet are deifnately not weird and people who I think about every single day of my life. Theyre part of my life now, and 90% of them always will be.
