Day 8 - Your Favourite Internet Friend

Yes. It's true. I have internet friends. I've never met them before. And yes. It was me who randomly added them. I do get bored from time to time. However, I do have random people adding me as well. SO! It's not one sided!

No, I have not done it recently. The people that I will refer to, was the last time that I randomly added someone.

And as you could expect from me, I don't have a favourite friend.

These people are from different parts of the world. From what I can currently recall, 2 are in Europe, 2 are in Canada, and I believe the other is in South America? I can't remember that last one with confidence.
They vary in age as well. With me still being the oldest one. There was never anyone that I've added, or been added by that was older than me. Maybe cause I look young. I had people think I was under 18. Ridiculous! But I guess that will work in my advantage when I'm old!

Because they live in different parts of the world, I've learned about the different part that they live in.
Had a brief British accent training on MSN, and learned different terminology for the same thing that we have here. For example in Britain, what we call the subway, the call the tube. I was so confused what the tube was when she mentioned it. However, if you think about it, "tube" makes perfect sense. xD

Cultural norms, despite the border-less internet still exist.

I talk to 2 of them on a regular basis. I have them all on MSN. But on MSN I only talk to 1 of them, that one lives in the UK. The other lives in Vancouver, and I communicate with her via text message (it's easier and more convenient that way).

Yes, All my online friends are girls. Why would I bother adding a guy on Facebook? To me, THAT makes no sense at all.

Everyone truly has a different personality, some come off as toughies, and you might even have someone add you that normally wouldn't. On a side note: that "toughie" girl, turned out to be a very normal person, I enjoy talking to her a lot. She realizes that she gives of the impression that she seems like a tough girl, but underneath shes really gentle and cute. =)


Some of you might think it's weird to add people randomly on Facebook. I completely understand without a doubt in mind. But, you do realize that there is the "ignore" button to friend requests right?

EDIT:

I later Googled Imaged "internet friend" and found this little picture, but I think its more of a poem.
