That would be Deec, and I last talked to him in August. Neither of us are very good about keeping in touch, and he has an aversion to instant messaging and e-mail (the irony being that if I played WoW, I'd be able to catch him from time to time). However, I was actually planning to call him this evening for a short chat if he's available, and I'm hoping that I can make a trip to Columbia soon (where he lives). We've been friends through a lot of drama, and we both lost a parent less than a year apart from one another, and we both ended long-term relationships about the same time. In fact, despite our 10-year age difference, our lives have incredibly eerie similarities, right down to where we were born. I think our only real difference is that I'm an only child and he's not. Oh, and the fact I like tattoos and piercings and he faints at the sight of blood. ;)
And my close friends tend to stay the same, at least since Deec, though I've lost a few. I've put up so many wall that it's hard for me to let people in. What usually ends up happening is that people think I'm not interested or that I don't like them, so they back off. It's not true, but I understand that's how it looks. I'm trying to work on that, but for the last couple of years, I had to shut myself off to so many people just so I could handle some pretty big issues. Maybe some day I'll figure out the whole friendship thing, but until then, I keep a pretty consistent number of close friends.
