Like a Book Closing By The Wind, Such Is Life

[AoJones]

Have you ever met a person that even though you don't really know them, you connect in a special way? It's nothing romantic, but you enjoy knowing the person, being around them. I met one of these people over City Folk a year or two ago. I called her: Natasha-Chan. We played online, visiting each others towns and having a great time. I remember she had wii speak and her voice was soft like snow. After awhile we emailed one another. She became what I like to consider a close friend, even though it was only over a game. But emails are easily forgotten things and after awhile I forgot about mine. I borrowed City Folk and my friend wanted it back. Just like a wind suddenly closing a book without you noticing, everything that tied me to her disappeared and I forgot. Now it's two or so years later and a new Animal Crossing game is coming out. The game that made this friendship happen is returning, and I now remember her. I tried to reach her through email yet no response. If you make good friends, even if over a game, don't forget about them. Natasha-Chan, if you're out there, I hope to hear from you again.

That's such a cute yet sad story...I hope you and Natasha-Chan can play again!

Aw, I know how you feel. About 3 or 4 years ago, I had an email penpal. We emailed each other a few times every week and basically told each other everything about our lives. After a while though, we stopped emailing each other. I tried contacting her a while back but no response. It's a sucky feeling when you become good friends with someone and then out of the blue they're gone and they're nothing but vague memories.

Dang it, Ao! My eyes are watering... Good luck, my friend.

What a bittersweet entry. It has reminded me of people I've met online through various forums and message boards. Some I still talk to, but most have drifted away, through no fault on either side. I still think of them from time to time, though.

I hope you reconnect with Natasha-Chan.
