My best friends tend to be online. Most of my friends are. All
  of them are. Been that way for a long time. Had real life best
  friends maybe 3 times so far in life. Lots of work and
  commitment. Now I'm like a butterfly. I consider everybody that
  listens to me online and responds my friend because they are,
  and I give them my everything at every exchange.

  But... I avoid IM/VM/Skype/Kik/etc because whenever I've done
  that... THERE'S NO SLEEPING... not that I sleep much...

  But I'm an official online citizen. I'm like that neighbor that
  runs the curiousity shoppe and is mostly harmless. The neighbor
  that waves as you walk by sometimes and you show them some
  amazing thing you did, for no particular reason and then off you
  go.

  His house is a large strange looking mansion and rumors fly
  around about dead bodies in the basement, but you know he's
  perfectly harmless, generally or seems to be. and you couldn't
  imagine him NOT being SOMEWHERE around, cheering you on from
  afar but never really interfering.

  Or... I'm just a guy behind a keyboard who is killing time on
  his computer because it's more interesting than sleep. "You're
  that awesome friend who always has interesting things to say
  grin emoticon" yay
