I wanna say that my first friend IRL was probably Yulie, I met her when I was about 4, and we went to preschool together. She's Japanese, and is the same friend who got me into Pokemon later on when we were about 9. We kept in contact until around highschool, when we just sort of lost contact, and our lives became pretty different. To this day if I called her up she'd probably be fine, and we'd talk for a while, I'm not sure how to find her anymore, though. I know she goes back and forth from the USA to Japan. D;
My first real close friend online was probably my friend Haru (Kellee), whom I met in early 2003 through a roleplay for the anime series Fruits Basket. I had online "friends" before her, but none that I can remember being all too close with, so I'm not gonna count them. xD; I actually met Haru when a friend and myself went to Minnesota in late 2004 / early 2005. It was awesome. We still keep in touch on occasion, mostly via Deviant Art.
Oh! And PC.. man, that's hard to remember. It's a safe bet to say that Jeremy was the first person on there that I considered a friend. I also had ~Roselia~, and kimicatdemon, but I believe that Jeremy was first. Either way, they're all cool, and out of the three, I still talk with Jeremy and Kimi, soooo that's cool. xD
