I think my profile still lists me as playing EverQuest. EQ is an online roleplaying game basically an MMORPG. I've played EQ for 3 and a half years now and I've had my ups and downs and my "omg I really do live for this game" moments, I can proudly say that it is a casual obsession now 
. But most of all I have met some very interesting and wonderful people...kind of like here.
Well, I was reading on the message boards for the server I play the game on, today and I found out that one of my best friends on EQ was killed in Iraq. I remember the day he told me he was going. I told him to be safe and he laughed and said he would be, he also said he was scared. Of all the people who had to go, it had to be my boy
. Now, thanks to whatever this fucking war was for one more awesome person has been taken from America. He was one of the best and most fun people to be around and I can only imagine his poor family. I've not cried so hard in a long time as I did (and am now) when I found out he had died. It's weird how much the internet really does impact your life, and how the friendships there really are true.
It's sad how selfish I feel right now, I keep thinking "I want him back!" and then I think of his family and how they must feel.
Another one of my acquaintances on the game lost his fight with cancer. I didn't know him or his wife so well as I knew my boy but still that's hard to grasp. I feel so sorry for her he was so young and she is so lost right now.
