I have a lot of friends due to the area I grew up, a lot of deaf friends. But I have four best friends, I grew up with them: 3 from TMOS, have known them since I was just a toddler and one that I have known since 6th grade in middle school. However I haven't seen two out of four of my best friends for years, one since 2004 and other since 2005, but we talk daily through texting and MSN/Aim messaging. The other two, I see them often, we would meet up and get together, to hang out such as going to the mall, or go out to lunch/dinner, go see the movie, just basically hang out and talk... we often talk alot whenever we see each other and have fun.
I have lot of close friends.... and we do the same thing basically.
