Just wanted to say... - 12-01-2008, 07:25 AM

The standard of "friends" around here is pretty low.

Thanks, Myspace generation!

Welcome to the information age buddy.

Hell, the standard of friendship anywhere, forget just online shindigs, is pretty low.

You didn't get my email on it?

Hang on, I'll send you a text message through the microscopic cell phone I had implanted in my ass, and then confirm that you got it by sending you a fax through my wristwatch.

Speak for yourself..

I have friends, a job, a girlfriend, at uni, at college (japanese class) and when i have money we all go out to the local rock/metal bar.

Technology helps us keep in contact but i wouldnt put off seeing my friends in person because i could talk to them online from my bed?

I think he's just saying that nowadays that is a huge consensus. At the same time...at least in my case...getting out of high school automatically means you're not going to see half of those people on a regular basis anyways. I've moved to a different state and so have those friends, so technology is really all we have at this point. For those I have within a reasonable distance, of course I'm going to go see and hang out with them in person. As for the long distance internet never-met-you-in-real-life thing...can't do it. My boyfriend is right here and we live together. *throws a skittle at him* See?

Yeah, that was just sarcasm Shadow. Next time, I'll take it slow, mkay baby?

Of course you have friends whom you go out with frequently, otherwise you'd have a lot more posts/day here.

Yeah, I'm 21 and I feel like an old man. 3/4 of students at my college have their stupid keyboard phones out the second they get out of class. Maybe I'm not cool enough to be obsessed with "social networking", but where I come from, a friend means something.

I hear that. Nowadays, you're only really a friend to someone if you make their Top 8.

Of course, friendship can be big or small, shallow or deep, but true friendship lasts one hell of a long time. And as far as I know, I only have 1 of those.
