I don't know. If it's any consolation, a large number of my "casual friends" (People at work, other than Laura who's definitely becoming an actual friend) are... just people I'm friendly with. There's... a difference of some sort. Like, I LIKE all my guildies, and I've dorked around with a lot of them, but I would only really consider, like, Ose my friend. Maybe Kurn. (Megan doesn't count 'cause I already knew her) It's like... being able to joke around in a game chat even when you don't necessarily know everyone. I've seen you do it. :P And that's all no comfort at all, I'm sure, 'cause people to be friendly with is better than nothing.

And, for the record? I'm HORRIBLE at keeping in touch. If I'm not having some sort of interaction through something I use on a regular basis (twitter, WoW, an RP, work), I drop out of contact SO fucking quickly. >< It's kind of depressing, 'cause it means that these people who MIGHT be friends one day... never become friends.
