M o i, I think it's wonderful that you've got such lovely friends. and that you want to actually go see them - online or offline doesn't matter at all, but it's still nice and supposed to be a good sign that you want to take it offline, I think? That might be just romance advice, though XD

It's pretty enviable, actually...three close friends, that's really nice...


For me, a best friend would be... um.

Don't get me wrong, I'm close with my mom and I have some great friends online, but there's a certain level of intensity that I associate with a "best" friend and I don't quite get that with anyone right now. (I wonder if other people have the same definition...) Nothing bad, we just haven't had the one-on-one time or enough shared tastes/interests to be super close. There's overlap, of course, a lot of artists too, even, but we're all so different...

There's one friend in particular that I wish would be around more, because she's super nice and cheerful. She's one of those infectious mood people, too, so I feel kinda cheerful around her too. I'm not sure how much she really likes me in return, though. ;u;


I think... I've kind of closed the gate on the super intense friendships, though - I'm not sure the ones I've had were entirely healthy? The one I had with my ex-best friend definitely wasn't, and it devolved into something like Amalath's RL situation (which is saddening, btw :< ), actually, very take and take and lots of emotional dumping on me and not so much support the other way around. I don't deal with her anymore, because the cons outweigh any benefits, but I do kind of miss those few benefits... :c

I have four, or at least that's how many people I consider to be my best friend. One is on Kofk, the other on dA, and the other two are offline friends.

The one on Kofk offers me advice a lot, and they are really nice about my situation. They helped me with some hard times.
The one on dA I have always admired because of her drawing skills. She's very patient and understanding and fun to talk to.
i have a male offline best friend and a female offline best friend. I talk to the guy more often, and he offers me comfort and is generally a nice guy to be around. The other best friend I talk to less but it's still clear that we're good friends.

@Moi - Time flies? XD

Both of those incidents are terrible... I can't understand why people do such things. Especially the first girl, what would prompt that in her mind? That's bizarre. D:

If we're sharing rejection stories too, there was one time I tried talking to the girl in front of me on the first day of middle school, 'cause she was there and looked nice enough, I guess? She and her friend spent the rest of the year giving me crap in return. >>;

my best friend is named carly sama and she be trippen
she my hoe
i luv dat bitch
<3

I count myself immensely blessed cause I have a lot of people I can call my friend, be it online or in real life, but the one I've known the longest and can definitely name my true best friend is Emma (Necroshear) c:

She's just amazing. You know how sometimes with a friend you can have that whole conversation going on and yet neither of you have actually spoken a word? We have that. And I never get tired of talking or just being around her, she's wiggled herself so far into my comfort zone that she's basically a part of it. I can tell her everything, safe in the knowledge that she will do the same and we won't spill each others secrets. I also never tire of her, cause we're both the kind of people that don't have to keep talking; we can just hang out in total silence and still enjoy each others company ~ I love making silly faces and watching her laugh break the silence x'D

We've known each other for quite a while now, and seen so much of each others shit and both still stuck around cause it was just natural to us. And we can totally call each other names and insult each other and see it for the affection it really is, talk about the most embarrassing and hurtful things and just cry it out together clutching fast food and throwing gossip at each other & damn is that like the ultimate measure of comfort or what?

My biggest hope is that someday, when we're both in our forties and have lived together for years we'll share some chocolates or coffee at the dinner table, like we have a ritual or something. And then one of us will ask the other how we even met, and we'll both not remember, cause it was just like an instant connection <3
