My Space (isn't that original?): Friends

Phil

Phil is another RuneScape friend that our friendship went beyond RS. He is a great listener and fun to hang out with. He sends me funny songs and vids and he demolished me when we played pool online (lol.. see I can admit it!). I've got a special place for Phil in my heart and will go to bat for him, so don't mess with him or you'll be messing with me. I could say so much more about Phil but he's a tad shy and I don't want to embarrass him. I'll just tell you that he's a great guy and gonna make some lucky chick really happy. Oh, did I mention how cute he is? He isn't comfortable when I tell him I love him, but I do, so I tell him anyway.

Reece

I met Reece through other friends and thank god he doesn't have a life! That makes him available to give me the support I need to get through my lastest broken heart episode. What can I say about a friend who will spend hours listening to my stupid childhood stories in addition to being my shoulder to cry on when I need one? I can say "I love you, Reece". I can also say thank you for being there when I needed someone and I'll return the favor gladly. He's funny and has an awesome knowledge of songs.He also likes to tease - he likes it TOO much. He's a nice guy though and invites me to sleep overs (virtually, of course) and here's a pic of him from one of the all nyters - you know, when you stay awake all night? lol

V

My first friend in Second Life. V is also my only female friend. She is the only reason I stayed playing SL and taught me all the stuff I know about building in SL. She's been a really great friend out of SL too. I changed my phone carrier on her advice and I've even borrowed money from her (RL) and paid it back! She's been there when I was sick with her support, information and advice. She's listened to my man trouble and offered her support there too. We've been business partners in SL and have talked about taking it RL if the opportunity presents itself. She is one person who reads my mind as well as I read hers. We click on so many levels. I recently introduced her to Reece who commented that she was pretty much a clone of me. He got that from chatting for just a few minutes with the two of us! She's pretty amazing and I love her bunches!

Kevin

RuneScape also gave me Kevin. Kevin loves me and is my self proclaimed "protector". If you hurt me, Kevin hurts you. I think it's wonderful most of the time. The only time I kinda don't like his looking out for my best interests is when he tries to protect me from ME! lol He tends to get on me and my unhealthy habits, but I know he does it because he cares. We voice and cam and he scolds me when I need it. I have chatted with other members of his family and he and his mum have invited me to come and visit them in England. Nice to have friends all over the world, now if I could only afford to actually go...

Kevin is someone I confide in about my "crushes" and one of shoulders I cry on. Even when he doesn't like what I'm doing, he supports my decision to do it. That's the best kind of friend. He tells me what he thinks, knows I'm going to do what I want in spite of his (usually) good advice and is gonna be there waiting when I've been hurt. He'll listen to me and cheer me up and always makes sure I know he loves me no matter what. How could I possibly NOT love him to pieces?

Hugh

My best friend in RuneScape. Did most of the members quests with him. We fished a lot. Trained a lot and just hung out together a lot until he started spending more time PKing (player killing) and CW (Castle Wars) two of the activities in RS that I hate. We've known each other almost 2 years and spent a fair bit of time on MSN messenger and utilized the webcam and voice options at times. He has an incredible voice and is extremely intelligent which makes him interesting to the nth degree to chat with. There is so much to appreciate about Hugh. He has high standards and I admire his value system. We have a lot in common and we've had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. Interacting with some people just change you forever. Hugh has been one of those people in my life. I'm so lucky to have met him ... lol he actually rescued me in RS and became my hero! He is a gamer and he totally pwns! I think we'll be really good friends forever. Hugh isn't perfect and I don't like everything he does, but he is my friend and I love him.

My friends are my CHOSEN family

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 10:39:53 GMT

I have a family and I love my family, but I didn't choose them. My friends are my CHOSEN family. I care about and am cared for by my friends as much or more than my family, and they are so important in my life. Friends are not to be confused with acquaintances (people you know). Friends have been there, stood the test of time, offered their support, accepted you and your not so perfectness and you LIKE them in addition to loving them. I have few friends because these relationships require a substantial investment of my time. I am the first to admit that I seriously neglect spending time with my friends when I'm really busy. My friends understand this and forgive me and love me anyway and are (usually) happy to see me at every opportunity. Kinda nice to know that I have enough of a life that I'm not likely to wear out my welcome anywhere.
