I feel the exact same way. I always say "my friend..." and Jason and my Mom look at me weird. LOL Seriously though, I know you and Melanie and all my other LJ friends better than I know a lot of the people in my acquaintance circle!
Just this afternoon at lunch Jason and I got into a political debate (about Obamacare) and I was saying I would love a system like Canada's and he said I should ask a Canadian about how much they love their healthcare and I said I knew very well how it worked because I have 3 friends that live there! And they got a year off for maternity leave and didn't have to pay outrageous sums for routine care! Then he said they probably didn't have anyone dealing with a serious illness and that's the point I told him that's exactly why we don't talk politics with each other.
But I digress. The point is that I feel closer to my LJ family than I do to a lot of people who can actually claim to be my family.
