idunno.i get your point, but you know your online friends incredibly well. i actually know you better than i know a lot of people in real life, so if something happened to you.. i'd be crushed. (god forbid)

and honestly, id just tell people 'my friend'. not 'my live journal friend'. i mean, we send each other christmas cards and know each others birthdays and i know all about your struggles to have alexandra and you know all about my struggles in med school. you're my friend. and she was yours.

no just about it. i feel your pain :(
