Our friends are fake

So I found an article from the Times Online called "Facebook, a competition for the most imaginary friends." It seemed sensible to share it since this is indeed a blog about imaginary friends. The author makes the simple point that it is hard for most people to maintain a large group of friends, and that the worry we put on appearing to have lots of friends (especially via facebook and twitter) is a 'universal illusion'. Apparently worrying about having too many friends is called 'polyphilia'.

Maybe all of our friends will one day be imaginary and Sam and I won't have such a hard time dedicating a blog to imaginary friends.

  1. This is not a blog about imaginary friends. I needed imaginary friends for a project but no one helped. It's a blog about anything. I love you.
