Wer aufhört zu lernen, hört auf zu leben

I certainly would have to disagree with those that think you can't have fulfilling friendships online. LJ is just another conduit to meeting people like school, or work or whatever. Sometimes I feel like I'm closer to my LJ friends than to my IRL friends. Plus I am a very much 'friends on my own time' sort of person. Like I can go in and be friends with people when it's easiest for me, and everyone else is doing the same. I don't do well with IRL friends that demand too much of my time/energy. But LJ people are wonderful. :)
