Jennifer Aniston paid David Letterman a visit last night to talk about her new movie Marley & Me and, of course, her personal life. While chatting about holiday plans, Jen said she'd be with her extended group of friends. Then Dave asked her a very interesting question that I want to ask all of you: Are you closer to your newer or older friends? I like to think I'm close to both, but what about you?

I have a even mix of old and new friends.
1an... an even.
2Older, I consider them to be my family.
3Older friends - I had a "family" of friends that I left behind when I moved across the country, and I really miss them. I like my newer friends too, and I suppose they know more about my day-to-day life, but it's not quite the same.
4Older friends, I'm blessed to have a group of friends from high school that know me better than I know myself sometimes. My new friends know more about my daily life, but there's a depth with my older friends that can't be replaced. We've all scattered across the country but when we do see each other it's as if we pick right back up where we left off! I'm so excited to go back home for Christmas and see them!
5Older friends.........mine are irreplaceable and so are the memories.
6My older friends definitely know me the best, so I'm closer to them. Not to say I don't adore my newer friends, but there's just no substitute for the years of backstory I have with my older ones.
7Older friends, don't have so many newer friends, that's something I think I need to work on...oh well.
8Older. While I have only known her for a few years more, my best and oldest friend is my other half.
9i have my like BEEESSSTTTT friend who has lived next door to me since basically the day she was born... so 15 years (im 5 years older than her) and then i have my new best friend that is my age... im pretty freakin close to both of them.. and then like i have more causal friends... that ill hang out with if i have nothing better to do.. but like my 2 bffs... id make time for them anyday!
10Have none.
My best friends puts her new and temporary friends ahead of me.
So f*ck her.
Would love to make new friends though! Soon I hope.
I still sort of have a semi new one.
11Aw, good luck Gscott!
I have a couple of really close friends. One lives on another continent, and the other now has a boyfriend... So I think it's time to make some new friends to hang out with when the other two don't have time for me.
12Oh! I do have a some "new" friends that I'm closer to than my old ones. I've lost touch with the old ones actually. It's a bit sad.
13Older friends, I've met a couple of newer people, but my older ones are like my family.
14My older friends will always be the people I turn to for meaningful advice and heart-to-hearts, but we're all spread out over different colleges we don't see each other as often as we would like. Lately I've been getting really close with my boyfriend's friends. They're all just as wonderful as he is, and while they will never replace my older friends, for now they're my go-to group for excursions and fun get-togethers.
15if we're comparing elementary school/highschool friends with university friends and friends i've made since graduating highschool, then definitely my NEW friends. i don't keep in touch much with old friends, except my BESTEST friend who i've known for 17 years. obviously i have old family friends and whatnot, but in terms of my besties who i call "my girls" they are newish, as in i met them within the past 6 or 7 years
16Newer. All my friends from high school and college have babies so I never hear from them anymore. My new friends are kid-free so they actually hang out with me
17Newer friends. I am a completely different person than I was when I still hung out with my older friends. They don't even know me anymore, we no longer keep in touch and I don't really care to. After a while I realized they weren't really my friends in the first place they were just people I tried to impress when I was young and looking for acceptance. My new friends know the real me.
18Both ... old n new ...
19I don't really have any newER friends. Although one of my best friends for about 10yrs and I are pretty close. I don't think anyone could be as close to me as my sister though. She's my #1.
20Im from a mil. family so I never really had a group of friends. Add all the transfering in college and the only goup of friends I had were the other kids that I would work with. And I just moved again so back in the same boat. . .guess that explains why I'm going in the military. . .I need to be with my own kind.
21Outside from a few close friends that have always been like family, definitely newer. They're just much more involved with my life.
22Definitely my older friends. Those are people that I've grown up with, that I've known my ENTIRE life. They've been with me through marriage, divorce, children, HIGHSCHOOL, heartbreaks, triumphs, ALL of it. Those friends are like air to me. I have several new friends too, and while I care for them, there's just something special about those lifelong friendships that nothing can touch.
23I have an even mixture of old and new friends. I am close with all of them.
24i think that i'm closer to my newer friends than my older friends. there's just something to be said about what you share with friends that you mean later in life - and they tend to know more about you and your motivations now rather than what your old friends know. i don't think that my old friends even know what kind of person i am now and what my interests are now - we just don't talk about the same things.
25I'm close to them in different ways. When it comes to going out & having fun, my newer friends are more reliable, but if I had some kind of trouble I'd probably turn to my BFFs of 8 years.
26It depends.
But usually my older friends, I can be myself with.
27My new friends, I can still be myself but I just talk about my past with them.
