So I agree and disagree. I wouldn't call this person a close friend--it's someone I went to school with and spent time growing up with. She lives in another state. She's a friend as in someone who if I saw them I would talk to them and they wouldn't be a stranger or mere acquaintance. I have only a handful of close friends and I am not someone with hundreds of superficial friends, but I think there are some people who do make an enough of an effort to stay in contact and be nice towards enough people over time to have 1000+ friends--even if not super close any longer.
