I don't seem to be able to keep many online friends. For whatever reason, none ever really 'last.' For whatever reason. And none really have the ability or drive to come out, you know? Either they wanna and they can't, or they don't ever mention it.

I think learning German would be pretty cool, though! Except my school couldn't afford a German teacher and class.

Maybe you're just finding the wrong kind of friends then. And most of my friends can drive, fly, have their own jobs and so on. When they said meeting your online friends as you get older is easier, they weren't kidding. It very much is. 

German's fun, but a little tricky. My current school doesn't have it or else I'd be in it.
