i'm 31 and my best friend is still my best friend from when i was 5. my core group of closest friends are still my high school friends. i live @2 hours away from all of them but still see them all the time. i feel like it's rare that we've stayed so close - my other friends (work, college, etc) don't seem to have that. another reason to love scranton.
If it helps, I combine the physical fitness of a 92 year old man with the "kids today" mentality of the same 92 year old man.
Damn kids better stay away from my bins.
hahahhaa you have no idea how much that helps!
(hey! start complaining about the price of tomatoes!!)
*thread integrity* my best friends and I have been in contact with each other every day since we were 4 & 5, even tho one of them moved away for work purposes, we still talk daily, and try to get together at least once a year.
so its been 29 years of friendship...two boys and me!

I'm 30 now. There's probably a group of atleast dozen of us, most I've been hanging out with since about age 9.. anywhere from a few times a year to every other week.
Funny how bonds you make when you're young never seem to break. My parents don't seem to have this going.. guess I'm lucky to have such good friends.
I don't see any of my childhood friends (except my sister). I only miss one of two of them anyway, but I moved so many times that our lives are quite different.
Do you still live in the town you lived in as a child?

Yep. I've got most of my friends still that I met in intramural soccer and in Tee-ball.
I lose a friends here and there due to tight marriages/death/or personality problems, but the main core is still going strong.
I don't even have any high school friends around me...
The best friend I have hasn't even known me for five years...I just kind of come and go with others I guess. The last couple of years it's kind of started to eat at me on the inside.
I'm 21 now and I've known three of my best friends since we were three. I started 'hanging out' with my best friend when we were 10, but I knew him from before.
I have a friend who I was having dinner with, and it occurred to me that we have been friends for almost 28 years. The thought alone scared the hell out of me.

I moved at 7, 11 and then went away to university at 17 and stayed away. When I go back to visit my parents (once or twice a year) I meet up with my high school friends who I've known for 17ish years and it's like we haven't been apart ... I should make an effort to visit more
The ones I would count as friends I've had my whole life are my cousins who I lived near when I was younger and will outside of family occassions also make an effort to see.
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
I'm good mates with a guy I've known since I was 4 another since I was 6. I'm also really good friends with my mates from highschool.

I still keep in touch with 2 of my childhood friends. My best friend from my childhood lives in California, while I'm living in South Carolina, so as you can imagine it's kind of difficult to hang out with him. He's in grad school out there, so on extended breaks when he comes back, we tend to hang out a good bit. The other friend actually lives close to me, and we've hung out a few times. Unfortunately we haven't been able to hang out for a few months...mainly because he's been very busy in medical school and I've had quite a few family obligations on the weekends.
Nope, we lived outside of the town where I went to national school and I went to secondary school in another town/county so it was difficult. The oldest friend I have is since I was 14 and I'll always have her. But I sometimes bump into people I went to school with and it's really really good to see them! Met two lads just before I came to England in my local pub and we'd a brilliant night and they came back to mine for more drink so now I'm keeping in touch with them on facebook and have found others I was friends with through their friends list. It's funny though cos one of them I didn't really know in school and the other I didn't really like but we were laughing about all that and how you grow up and it's all so trivial and we were just like old friends.

Only keep in contact with one childhood friend, he lived with my grandparents so was more like a family member. He's married and lives in Wales now so it's only occasionally that we meet up in person, though I recieve football related text messages from him most weeks. Met up with a few old schoolmates through facebook in the past year but s'unlikely we'll stay in contact really, pleasant experience to reminisce and get shitfaced.

My oldest friend and I had a parting of ways a couple of years ago, which sucked, but we were heading in opposite directions, had been best friends even before kindergarten because our dads grew up together and our families always got together.
Other than him though, I remain friends with my other best friend, a girl I had the hots for in the fourth grade....we have been friends ever since, more like family now, and I am the godfather of her first born. We talk all the time but she lives 6 hours away. She always told her boyfriends if they had a problem with me then they were out of luck with her.
Overall, though, there is a pretty large group of buddies from high school I still frequently talk to and hang out with.
Me and one of those guys are going to Memphis to see AC/DC in January, just the two of us, and even though we are both 32 I don't think we should be turned loose like that without adult supervision....me and that dude always seem to revert to 21 when we get together
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
Just buds with one friend from Jr. High...we are both in our early 40's.

nope.
my very best friend fronm childhood i see occasionally, will probably always be in contact, friends, but certainly nothing like our friendship once was. any of my other friendships from childhood, HS.....all dissipated. i found went i went to study abroad for 1.5 years, lots of friends fell by the wayside. i think those transitional college years do that often. after that, my 3 closest friends from college, one i met while studying abroad, and she lives in helsinki....one i get the occasional xmas card from, she still lives fairly close but married one of those guys who it's all about his friends.....and my best friend from college, still lots of contact, but sadly he lives in texas. so ya, basically, don't have any truly close friendships closeby in my life. hubby is still tight with the bulk of his childhood friends, so we see them often....his bandmates who many went to HS with him.....couple of workfriends. i have a couple friends from jobs, but nothing close, my pj buddies ...and yes, really....my very best friend, my husband. it's difficult fostering 'true' friendships in adulthood.
Not really.
Most of us all went separate ways after high school.
Then made tons of friends in college and again...all went separate ways. That's ok though it makes for an excuse to go on vacation and visit.
I do play videogames online with my old neighbor who I grew up next to. We've known eachother our entire lives. We live like 1700 miles away, but it's fun being able to go on and play games with him, video chat, etc. on the PS3. Technology is great!
yep we all mostly keep in touch, even if we are spread across the world now. the best thing is, when we do manage to catch up over a few beers, wines, whatever.. NOTHING has changed!! straight back into the old jokes & stories, like it was only yesterday we were last together
we've had our ups & downs with each other, but deep down you know those guys will always be there
Yes I do. My best friend Sharon was present for the birth of my 1st son. I have known her since I was 3 or 4. I gave birth to him when I was 32. I still talk with her and we are close to 40 now. I also have some great friends from 2nd and 3rd grade that I still hang out with, we now have kids that are the same age. Friends from Jr High school too. I am one lucky person to have such great friends! And now our kids are becoming friends, it's the best feeling knowing they care about my kids with such a high level.

way to make me feel old...great, now I have to treat you like a kid brother.
