Friends
We all need friends. It's a learned thing making a friend and there's that saying, "To have a friend, first you must be a friend."

Friends are very valuable to me. I use the word friend in the European context; friends are those whom I've gotten to know very closely, whereas just the casual people I hang around are acquaintances. (I have to be careful when talking to others about this because they expect it to be used in the American context, and so I have to adjust what I say to that.)
Relationships with the closest of my friends though is not something just run-of-the-mill. I take friendships very seriously in the grand schema of things. My friends are like my family; I grow to know them over time, ever increasingly, feeling as if they were actually a part of my childhood. I grow so bonded with friends that there's something more outside of mere concept of a friend, but rather this "sixth sense" connection if you will, just having the feeling of spiritually being connected with them. (Bad explanation, I know, but it's the best I can do at the moment.) And so those people I adopt as my fellow siblings, brothers and sisters in my virtual family.
I'm fortunate to have four of them here on VGF.

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out." Walter Winchell
I met some of my most prized friends online, through quarreling and later reconciliation. The most impressive examples of this include how I met and became friends with DM and Kazooie [some may recall how I hated DM's ass, and how Kazooie wanted to kick mine]. Through Gamer Chris's birthday topic, we bonded, sharing a lust for maniacal fun; eventually, the bond strengthened as our talks evolved from senseless roleplays to griping about our lives and the things casual friends usually talk about.
After subsequent events involving a certain femme fatale [in the "walking disaster" sense], I eventually came to a point at which, although I will probably never end up displaying this through actions, I would trust them with my life and more then that. In a sense, they are my "virtual family," and they grow on me like a kind of fungus.
We spend far too much time together, although Chris less then most; usually whenever we hop online, we piss the hell out of each other with incessant whining and violent acts. Feel the love.

w00t w00t. Made many friends.
Online. Yeah, I remember orignally seeing Kazooie around Misc. somewhere, and Chris as well. Neo, I met in an... NC OG. *snrk* But now we're one big dysfunctional family. Hurray.
Offline, ahh, Chris and John. My two best friends. They're awesome. I met most of my high-school friends through band, actually. They're all awesome. They say that you start to act like those that you hang around. Very true, in my case.
