I guess I am the wierd one then, which doesn't surprise me, I usually am
Once someone is in my life, they are a permanent part of my life. I have one best friend, and we have been best friends since we were 8~27 years. As a matter of fact, I still talk to almost all of my ex boyfriends, strictly as friends now though. I guess it's a good thing, we all have our own special connections to our pp's. I'll let you know if we're still pp's in 20 years!
