All these "strangers"

I've been often thinking that I have a bunch of "friends" on my friends list that I have to admit I don't actually know. We started somewhere around a mutual interest, they contacted me or I contacted them and after couple of hey-ho mails, nothing. And hey, that is not a "bad" thing, I mean, let's not put a value on it. They just are there, some of them - friends. Well...

So I was thinking what if, some day soon perhaps, I send a mail to my "unknown" friends and really start to pursue knowing them in depth, or at least more deeply, at least.

What kind of stories there are behind those pics, those nicnames, those profiles? Are they happy? Do they live at their fullest or are they waiting a bit (just like me, heh heh). Are they married or with someone? What troubles them? Do they have many bad habbits? How do they see themselves as? Bad, good, average, special...? What has been their most defining moment so far and why? Or perhaps they have had several such moments? What did they learn from it? Are they addicted to something in good or bad way? What are their dreams?

So, how do you do.
