I basically only get to see one of my brothers and his family once a year since they live a twelve or so hour drive away.

That is sad about your friend's dog. I wonder why the dog did that.

[femme gauche]

Yeah, they don't know why he did. She says he was always a bit high strung. It's just very sad all around.

Yeah bout the same distance for me. I see my sister about once a year too but I don't really care about seeing her... Not that I don't care about her, but... her life has nothing to do with mine, other than being related xP. I'd rather see my friend be closer.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

Yeah. Once someone moves a ways away from you, it is hard to see them much anymore.

[femme gauche]

Well she's also eleven years older than me and so we grew up a little differently, and doesn't have many of the same interests.

Ah! My best friend is two months older than me.

Yes haha.

My best friend is four years older. But we have strong interests in common and while our personalities are different we share opinions on some stuff as well.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

My best friend and I are very different from each other.

[femme gauche]

I am honestly not one who could become close to someone who is terribly different from me. I don't mean race or background or anything like that, just in terms of the way we relate with the world.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I haven't really met anyone like myself, either.

[femme gauche]

Neither have I, but I've found people who have similar sentiments to myself... Online.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I end up being able to only partly get to know people on-line. It is hard sometimes to do that.

[femme gauche]

I didn't know it was possible to completely get to know anyone.

I've been spending a lot of time on the biggest Green Day fan site's fan forum.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I guess it is hard to completely know someone else, but you can get to know them well. That is easier in person of course.

I guess you have been chatting about their upcoming songs that they will release.

[femme gauche]

Upcoming songs, promotions, uh... Issues that they're having, old albums, music videos... You have to understand, for Green Day fans, it is all in the present, stuff from 1990 is still worth as much new viewing and analysis as something from 2009 as something from 2012.

And for me... I don't really get to know people very well in person. I tend to close myself off, it's much easier for me to open up online.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I'm sure there are Elvis fans who have lots to chat about in the same way, so it's not unusual.

Yes. It is odd how it can seem easier to chat over a problem with someone on-line than in person with people you know.

[femme gauche]

Haha, it's not just problems, it's just me in general. I have a hard time reading people in person... online, your words are right there, you state your thoughts. And you can choose from a field of people to talk with and respond to, whereas doing that in person is difficult and tends to read as rude.
