I have at least seven Facebook friends who I met on short events, just a week or a weekend. We still talk on Facebook, and we're still getting to know each other. The day before the MA special election, I was talking to one of them and we had this huge debate on politics, friendly but intense, and wound up on different topics, eventually sharing life plans. I'm sure you know how that can work.
Well, I had to go, and I said so, and he said, "Fare well." Not "Farewell," two words. Fancy. So I responded, "Peace be with you." I was serious, of course, and it seemed apposite to his goodbye.
Ever since, when we talk on Facebook, when one of us has to leave the computer, he's said, "Peace go with you," and I respond, "And also with you." I think this is one of those things that is just going to stick. I like it :) and anyway, it's nice to have something that means that we're friends, despite the fact that we haven't seen each other in months, and that we can keep in touch.
I love Facebook for just that kind of reason.
