No, you're not a bizarre creature. I identify with what you're describing.
I have a few friends I've kept up with over the years, but I really only see them if they've morphed into "couple friends" or "friends how also have kids that I see at birthday parties." I also have "music friends" that I play/have played in bands with, but I only see them on "business" (band practice or gigs).
I only like a few people well enough to spend time with them. The initial, correct answer is that your best friend is your wife.
As far as internet friends, I'd consider you a good example. I believe that physical proximity is not necessary to communicate the essence of a person.
