Although, the line is definitely beginning to become more blurred between the two.<BR/><BR/>Even though there is a certain amount of anonymity in the blogging world, I think it's easy to tell who's telling their real stories and who is throwing stuff out there to keep a big audience and be entertaining.<BR/><BR/>I've liked you from the first time I read your blog because you're REAL.

One of my best friends from High School, I always feel like I'm the one that writes to her or calls her. She barely ever returns my call, she always has an excuse of why she can't get together. This really frustrates me and I believe is a small part of the depression that I'm going through right now. But, what can you do? You can only try and do so much and it really makes you see who your true friends are.<BR/>We are lucky to be able to have blogging friends who are there to listen and to relate.Sammie-Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207897944173200192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486169617395091403.post-75681268141839057892008-09-14T21:15:00.000-04:002008-09-14T21:15:00.000-04:00The first woman I met when I moved here, Erin, had...The first woman I met when I moved here, Erin, had a daughter in Josie's class. We spent Halloween, New Year's and Valentines' Day together as families. We had a wonderful time. Suddenly, she stopped speaking to me, and a few weeks later Josie came home from school crying because Erin's daughter had told her that she could never come to her house again. To this day, I have no idea why. I called and apologized to her answering machine that day, saying that I hadn't been the same since we had lost our nephew and then our dog in recent months, but I was sorry if I had said something that had upset her. No response. I was devastated. I later found out from other parents that she's done this to other people, and that she's basically mentally ill. I took me until just recently to forgive her, over a year after the whole event. People can be so... shockingly cold. It took me a long time to want to make another friend up here after that happened.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad we've met through the big 'I'! Also, I'm totally kicking your ass at Scramble! :)Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486169617395091403.post-89179103601610223292008-09-14T20:58:00.000-04:002008-09-14T20:58:00.000-04:00That is a hard thing.

I have had 2 friends that I have walked away from, it took many years but somehow both have come back into my life and we have talked about our differences. <BR/>PS. thanks for stopping by my place, and yes my little guy is 20 months too, already out of the crib, the stairs and outside all on his own.

Perhaps this is why I love facebook so much- I get to "see" what all the people that used to be so important in my life are up to. <BR/><BR/>Blogging IS a different way to "make" friends, but rewarding none-the-less. Hurray for that!Marie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830798429713169174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486169617395091403.post-11013417896588473702008-09-14T20:32:00.000-04:002008-09-14T20:32:00.000-04:00I feel closer to some of you "blog" friends than I...I feel closer to some of you "blog" friends than I do to some people in my "real"life.
