So, I have plenty of companions and only handful of friends and only one best friend. Very good post. As the level progresses higher, the number of persons in that level reduce.

Also.. I never figured out what the popularity thing is either! :D I had to put it all on the main page because the RSS feeds weren’t working for ppl unless I did that.

I totally agree, it's definitely not about how long you've known people, it's about the experiences that bring you together. Quality not quantity ;) (Also, I'm glad the full posts show on the main page! And that the "Popularity %" is gone, I never did figure that out...) Great post!

The game is amazing. I just need to finish it! It's so annoying at some parts! I do have Zelda, Phantom Hour Glass. The game is amazing. I just need to finish it! It’s so annoying at some parts!

But being an only child also caused me to invest more in those friendships than the other person would invest, simply because I had less people to invest in. I'm sure most people have someone who you consider a higher level of friend than they consider you. My current problem however is that I operate on a general level near what you term "companion" but never get any higher with most people -- and it's because I just do not know how to do so, it's a lack of knowledge and an abundance of knowledge of my own faults/insecurities. A bit frustrating but there are so many people and places in the world it's quite easy to pick up and start over with a new group so I don't let it bother me. I currently have 2 best friends, one is my significant other (I actually do have love, 5 years, probably get married in another 4) and another is a friend I've known since I was 15 and I can tell her just about anything. Oddly, I've found it easier to progress to higher levels on your list with people of the opposite sex, and I'm not entirely sure why. Oh and by the way, since you play the DS, do you have the feather stylus? If you own Zelda: Phantom Hourglass you can send in the little card that comes with it and they'll send you a free one. I urged my SO to do so and she has not regretted it as it is far more comfortable in your hand than the regular stylus. PS Is there a comment preview button? I tend to make lots of little spelling errors and I like to go back and fix those...
