By the above "requirements" I would say:

How many online friends do you have that your reguarally chat with?
It varies. On average though about 1-2.
How many PM's do you receive a day?
Varies. 1 a day maybe. There have been days that exploded, but that correlates to the effort I put forth in it.
How many emails do you receive a day or week?
In a week, probably 1-5? With "forwards" it's like a couple hundred, but that doesn't count I don't think. ha The people I consider friends are mostly coworkers, so I see them daily anyways.

We were kind of difficult to describe. I would call it the neutral group. Everyone in it was a part of some other clique due to interests, but came to the "neutral" group for hanging out.
you talk to your stuffed animals alot as a kid?
didn't like them, so I didnt have any, so no. I was never the kind to pretend play? I couldn't, well I guess there was just too much real high stress life stuff around me to think that way?
What was/is closer to you, friends or your stuffed animals?
My mizzuno and Wilson head
What do you avoid the most?
This took some thought.....I avoid being, what I percieve to be a "burden" to others. I avoid being someone who will be seen as one to take a side. My mindset is that, "it just is what it is". That I'm here if needed, and here if I'm not. I'm the permenant spectator who thinks everything there's a lesson to be learned, and that it's going to be learned the way it's meant to be learned..without any controlling on my end. I go with the flow in other words. I'm starting to think though, that I'm kind of setting myself up for problems if I keep that "profile" in certain areas. I think it makes you too easily used as the proverbial "rug" or fall-back person. Or to one person, I can go from being beneficial to that person, to a "thorn" to avoid. It's strange when that happens because nothing on my end really changes. It seems to depend on where THAT person is at though, when honestly I've stayed the same in stances. I can say that without being egotistical, because I'm one of those people that will automatically (almost habit) apologize for something. I look to see what I couldve done wrong first, before anything else. So, with plain confidence I say... I give people too much credit sometimes.
