When the "real life' I lead causes my hours to be very different from the people I interact with on a day to day basis, the Internet is a timeless mix of people that I have been exposed to. Some people I've met are casual acquaintances, where others in which the other people and I have talked and shared and invested emotionally in the other have grown into strong friendships. While there are people that I may not ever meet face to face, I sometimes see it as a friend I have who's been away for an indefinite time. It doesn't make their friendship any less valuable to me.
