re-establish lost friendships

This has more weight now than ever. This month, I had to go home for a funeral of a high school friend. A friend that was part of me being able to say I’d achieved this goal.

It seems like nobody takes the time to tell others how good they’ve made the world. I’ve never even thought to. I am going to start.

... but MySpace is very useful for these sorts of things. I’ve been catching up with lots of people I thought I’d lost track of – cousins, high school friends, people I’d met once or twice in person but had no way to keep in touch with.

The one thing that does bother me about the internet – whatever happened to writing a letter or picking up the phone? Those sorts of things seem much more personal.
