1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?

Yes I do remember her, Grainne (pronounced Graw-nya)....our Moms were really good friends. We went to school together from age 4-12. We were friends though secondary school too, though I went to boarding school, she didn't.


2. Are you still in touch with this person?


Every now and then I'll hear something about her. We both live abroad now, and it's seldom we're back in Ireland at the same time. I think the last time I saw her was about 4 years ago!!


3. Do you have a current close friend?


I have a few:
Aoife (pronounced EE-fa), she lives in Ireland but we've been really good friends since about 13 yrs old. I'll be seeing her in 2 weeks. She had a baby in Feb, so I'm excited to see my 'nephew' too!
Michael (aka ButterCup), lives here. We've been really good friends for about 3 years now.
Simone & Eve, both co-workers, though I'm better friends with Simone.


Personally I think it's important to have a good few close friends. You know all different kinds of people. Living down here I also find that age really isn't taken into any equation where friendship is concerned. I look at friends in Ireland and all their friends are around the same age as themselves, whereas here I have good friends who are well into their 50's and some who are only in their early 20's.


4. How did you become friends with this person?


Aoife: met in school, became good friends on a field trip to London.
Michael: a couple of my 50'ish friends set me up with him.
Simone & Eve: through work. Eve moved here the same year as myself (13yrs ago) and Simone although I knew of her for a few years before I started working with her we only really became friends when she started at the school, 3 yrs ago.


5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?


Jon, we're still in contact with each other just don't get to see each other all that often. We only live about 10mins away from each other but he has a GF he is besotted with, which is great, but I just miss having him in my life on a day-to-day basis.
