Who did you meet on LiveJournal you wouldn't have met otherwise?

On my Mutual Friends list, there are only three people I have met in person: [livejournal.com profile] acesifda, [livejournal.com profile] nanakikun, and [livejournal.com profile] zhurnaly. Of the others, [livejournal.com profile] ceruleanst, [livejournal.com profile] demiurgent, and [livejournal.com profile] kirabug are Webcomics People, [livejournal.com profile] chanlemur I discovered through a comic (Narbonic), and [livejournal.com profile] extd_grb_injoke, [livejournal.com profile] get_medieval, and [livejournal.com profile] prettygoodword are feed-blogs rather than personal LJs.

Thus, Livejournal has probably introduced me to over forty people (I count 39 not eliminated above on the Mutual Friends list alone), spanning at least eleven U.S. states, four Australian states, two U.K. counties, and Canada. Of which I live in exactly one, and have seen exactly two others. (Possibly three or four, but no-one on that list has admitted to being in a Virginia, West or not.)

Not bad, LJ. Not bad.

What differentiates a friend from an acquaintance? When does one become the other?

An acquaintance would recognize you when you run into each other. A friend would call you up and ask if you want to hang out.
