what do you mean you don't have friends? explain.
"Who is number 1 on your top 8?"
It's a MySpace thing. I'm not quite sure how it works, since I don't use the site, not being a tween -- though prone to digressions -- but the top eight people on your friends list are displayed prominently on your profile page.
Sharyn: I have this image of a "friend" as someone you see regularly, share a lot of life experiences with, and count on for a lot of things. The people that fit that description in my life are all family.
I'd say that I'm friendly with a fair number of people, but I don't have close friends.
(I might be expecting too much, but a lot of people seem to have long-term close friendships with specific people, and I've never really done that.)
