the number of people i know, in real life, is < 10 including my brothers and parents whom i haven't seen in 1+ years

of these people, there are 1½ that i talk to in my native language. there are ~4 that i half talk to in a language i only speak well enough to have conversations about food, weather, or obama. because conversations about obama go like this:
obama?
obama!
but, obama?
well, definitely obama., and probably obama! eventually, just give it some time
the ½ person is a puppy that i talked to for ~1 hour at an outdoor adoption center in the park three weeks ago

what is your ideal number of people to know in real life?

if you know too many people i think it's unnatural and forced maybe

do you know me? i think i could at least count as 1/2, at least i respond in your native language unlike the puppy - and if the puppy does respond in your native language than i think he should count as 1, maybe 1 1/2 people.

ps - you and V. should visit J. and I next time you're in NYC. we're moving there in August.

That's J. and me. You must also keep in mind that Matt was a feral child.
