Is there anybody on the board that you wish you were closer with? Somebody who you wished you chatted with off board or visited or shared clothes with or swapped spit with or became blood brothers/sisters with?

I would like to be closer to pretty much all of the regulars, if only for the fact that I wouldn't have to have conversations like this:
Me: I need to get another gift.
Other: Who is left?
Me: My friend...
Other: Who?
Me: Oh, just a friend...
Other: What is your friend's name?
Me: Um, ::insert strange board name here::
Other: Wow. Her parents are a$$holes.
I was thinking the other day about how I wish that I lived in the same city as Kristen. I think she's hilarious and that we'd get along well, and I think our kids would have fun together. I find myself thinking similar thoughts about Fitty and Vinny.
I think that I feel that way about most of the regulars when I think about it though. If I didn't click with a lot of you I wouldn't have kept coming back after all the dramz died away.
This is pretty much the way I feel. There are very few people that I wouldn't want to hang out with if we were closer.

I didn't really mean "closer" as in proximity. But I agree with what you're saying. I wish we really did have a commune where we all lived together.
I have a lot of people who I wish I was closer with: November, lindsay, angie, HT, Noisy, and I'm sure I'm forgetting at least 14 others.

I don't know if I would say "wish" because then it just makes me look like an ass for not trying? Or am I misunderstanding?
But my top star-crossed friends would be: Noisy and Kristen for sure; Sam and hezz, I've always felt like we would get along well in real-life and would have compatible f-word habits; and TSD - is that random? Plus she would probably pester me about doing my hair and makeup more often, and I need that.
Me too, and I'm the one that started it! Definitely adding Ali and kristen to the list.

There are some people (like Kristen and noisy and Mod) that I do talk to off board but wish I talked to more, and people like HT and SB that I don't really talk to off board but have met and wish I talked to more.
I feel so loved. I reciprocate all of your feelings. Will you accept this rose?
I'd like closeness with more people too. I don't have a board bestie. And I think a group family trip to Disney would be the bees knees. The kids could all be scared of the characters together and we could get drunk at Epcot.
I know you meant "closer" in the emotional sense, but I think that being close physically and spending time with people in person would allow me to feel closer in the sisterhood sense.
It's weird though, because I do feel close emotionally to the board as a whole - I've shared stuff here that I've ohterwise only shared with Lorne or my bff - but I don't feel like I'm really close to a lot of individuals tha tmake up the board.
My thoughts of everyone on here have come a long way. I think back to some inital perceptions of people and they certainly have changed. Cop out answer - there isn't anyone I wouldn't want to hang out with.
But I think that IRL I would get along really well with Bethie, Noisy, Mod, PDX, Cali, Hezz, November and Lindsay. I would also really like to meet Kay, Mashed and Moo.
Ok, see this is hard. I have more people I want to list but then I am thinking it would just start getting ridiculous.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Ditto Noisy and Buddha and whoever else said they would like closer relationships with pretty much everyone. I love everyone I've met.
Winged, I can't wait for you to get your butt up here.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.

I'm also really sad it's been so long since I've seen fitty.
Let's do the flip side of this then, yes?
There are so many people here that I genuinely like and it's really weird bc I often have conversations with people that involve me retelling a funny story from one of my 'friends'. There are a ton of people I'd love to meet and get to know better. Honestly, I started writing out names and realized that it was pretty much everyone here. I think I would get along well IRL with Kristen, Cali, Tasty, Hezz, Angie, and probably a bunch of other folks too. One of my New Year's resolutions is to actually make and keep plans with Lindsay bc she is awesome and our kids are pretty close in age. And TSD can borrow my shoes any time.
I think the word you're looking for is POLL. I miss hearing that.
I don't feel really close to anyone here, at least not in a talking-off-board more than FB kind of way. But, I adore just about everyone. I've always been the kind of person to have a very few close friends and then a ton of people that I consider friends, but not on a deep friendship level.
I think that I have a weird awkwardness going from aquaintence to bestie.
I'd love to feel closer to a lot of people that I've met. I love me some Hezz (especially after getting to spend some quality time with her going to Rob's Island), Cali, Moo, and Bethie. Oh, and I'd like Groomz and Christin to entertain me like my own personal jesters. And I miss Emjo.
There are people I'd like to be closer to. I feel like I do a bad job of making that happen. Part of the issue is that I don't do any kind of "chatting." I don't have gchat, and I keep myself hidden on FB chat (if it still exists) because when it first came out the only people who would chat with me were randos from high school (and now, probably, my aunt).
Maybe I'm also not closer with people because I put "chatting" in quotes like an elderly person.
