There are several gray spots on my friends list now. And although many people remove the names who go gray pretty quickly, I generally don't -- partly because I've never been a tidy person, and partly just in the hope that they'll be back and participating before long. Taking them off the list seems like giving up that hope.

That said, very few of the people on my friends list are friends in real, actual life, and a few of them I barely even know online -- they just seemed cool enough to add, or had some very similar interests.

But one of my friends in real, actual life went gray the other day... and this absence makes me sadder than all the others put together.

I hope she rejoins us soon.
