catch up with old friends

I created a Facebook account months ago, then deleted it minutes later. I was intimidated by other classmates that were a little more successful and I felt like I didn’t accomplish much compared to them. Over the weekend, I felt a little nostalgic, so I reactivated my account. I could not believe how many of my high school, college and military friends have Facebook pages! I feel connected again! :)

I felt a little nostalgic last night and decided to Google some old friends. I found the girl who was my “big brother” in my organization 15 years ago and the girl who was my “little brother”! I emailed another friend who I located four years ago after losing touch for 8 years! I can’t believe he’s a pastor now!!! He’s a great guy. I hope he writes back…He did! He even invited me to his church!

I’ve caught up with one of my closest friends a couple of months ago. We’ve been friends since the 3rd grade! It was her birthday and I gave her a surprise phone call. I haven’t talked to her in years.

Next week, I’m planning a girls’ night out with one of my old military friends and hopefully a couple other girls that I’m cool with online that I’ve never met in person. I’m really excited about it!

I found out that one of my high school classmates had a birthday last week. I e-mailed her and told her to write back. The one thing I hate about catching up with old friends is that there’s no guarantee that they want to catch up with you! LOL

*I’ve been out of high school 15 years now! I wonder if we have a 15-year reunion planned…

Just updated my info on Classmates.com this morning. Two people have contacted me, but I have to upgrade my account to find out who they are! :(

A co-worker in my office was talking about going to her 20-year high school reunion, and I thought to myself, ‘Why haven’t I kept in touch with anybody from high school?’ It’s been almost 15 years since I graduated (damn, I feel old!) and I haven’t talked to anyone in a long time. I even missed out on my 10-year high school reunion! I think I’m going to go on Myspace tonight and look up some folks…
