Mum: You can't just stay up and talk to people on the other side of the world all night, it's utter madness!
Me: Madness.... *turns around in her chair* THIS. IS. LJ!
Mum: ... what.
Me: Just go to bed mum.
Of course, there's the obligitory load of people from America that I've become rather close with (holla!), and while I have no idea if they consider me a friend in return, I've become quite chummy with people in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, France, Germany and Japan.
On the matter of whether I'll ever meet them, well, we're all so spread out and there's so many I'll probably never be able to, but if there was some kind of magical event wherein we did all meet, it'd be awesome.
Though fuck timezones man. They suck a big meaty one, geez. GMT means that I'm either keeping other people up (something I feel horrifically guilty about) or staying up late for everyone else (West Coast America time zones are my enemy. Though I love everyone on them.)
That's the issue though; if you've never met someone face to face, can you really say you're friends? I'd like to think so, but what are your opinions on the matter, guys?
Ah, I don't care, I love you all regardless. I count it as friendship even if it's one-sided.

And yes. Fuck timezones. (*points at icon*)
Furthermore. This. is. LJ! *dies*
