“Did I ever tell you about my friend Jim, he had a tomato thrown at him, most tomatoes don’t hurt cuz their covered with skin, this one did hurt cuz it came in a tin.”
Hiya y’all.

I managed to see an episode of “Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi” last night. It was quite funny. I liked the way they would resort to Japanese words every now and then. LOL.

Nothing much happening here. Ive brought Midori-chan with me today. Its good, cuz Midori has Manga downloaded on her, AMVs, my stories and i bought a couple of DVDs (Trigun and Patlabor 2 movie) to watch if I get too bored. the only downside is that Midori ways a ton. dang, she needs to loose weight. ^^

...

And now, I would like to, if I may, turn to the subject of friendship.

What is it to be a friend? The dictionary defines friend as: “a close companion, one warmly attached to another.” So how do we decide who our friends are? The people I hang out with? Companions yes, but perhaps not as close as you guys, ones who share my thoughts and feeling on a regular basis. I feel a warmer attachment to you then I do most of the people I see on a regular basis. Yet we have never met. We don’t know each other, only what we show of ourselves to one another. We were brought together by a common interest, and somehow that seemed to be enough to form tight bonds between us. I, for one, will never forget some of the friends I made here online, but why? I don’t even know what half of you look like, yet we slip into our roles as companions every time we go online. So what does this mean? In the “real world” gender and race, sexual orientation and religion are often barriers that prevent people from perhaps getting to know each other. The internet transcends these barriers, and we are part of a global community. Why are we friends? Because of a common interest? Perhaps. Or is it because when all the surface layers and common prejudices are torn away, we can truly understand each other, something that a meeting in reality could perhaps never do. To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re English, American, Philippian (sp?), black, white, Asian, male, female, bi-sexual, homosexual, Goth, grunge, preppy, outcast, geek, Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Jedi. We see each other here stripped of all contexts and only see the person for who they are. And I think that that makes us better friends here than most friendships in reality. Of course, we can have deep and tight friendships in reality too, but this is a little more honest, and thus means a little bit more…don’t you think?


Hey, I'm rambling. Sorry, it’s just that I had that on my mind and wanted to off load it. I’ve seen a lot of you call me your friend recently, and it made me wonder what a friend truly was. I think a friend is someone who we truly understand based on a relationship of mutual honesty and trust. And that’s what we are. *nods*

One final question to pose to you guys. We say in our comments things like *hug* and *glomp*. What I want to know is: if we met in real life, would we still hug each other? Think about it.


Okay, I think I’ve made you think too much. Thinking: BAD! >.<
