Finding old friends

I've met a number of old friends on the internet, even one foreign pen pal I had lost touch with. The internet is great for things like that!

Actually I did that just today! Well Monday night I found someone on myspace I suspected was an old friend. He didn't have his photo or real name posted but everything else fit so...I tok a chance and sent a friend request along with a message only he would understand. My hunch was right! He sent me a message back today and we're starting to get caught up. He's always been in the area, I just didn't know quite where which is why we lost touch. Hopefully he'll be stopping by this weekend!

Wow!! That must have been exciting for sure. Have you been able to get ahold of her sister and reconnect as well? 30 yrs. would be a long time. I was actually able to reconnect with my childhood friend quite a few yrs. back via finding the information online. But we found we were completely different now compared to when we were young, so we quit talking, but I would Love to still know updates on some of them if I could again as well.

yay thats so cool.
thats happened to me alot especially with myspace, reunited with people i went to highschool with. or people who were once in my life and then for whatever reason are not now.

It's funny you mention facebook. I practically had the same experience. Years and years ago I used to know this guy. I met him via his mother as his mother and I were "roomies" while I was in the hospital for a minor operation. Harvey was about nine years younger but we became great friends, in fact I viewed him like a younger brother...at the time we were both into Star Wars movies (the earlier ones from the late 1970s)...he was also a Star Trek fan...he was also a photographer. So we remained good pals up until about twelve years ago..He had moved to NJ and we continued to talk on the phone or write but then he "disappeared". I tried to find out what the heck happened to him but couldn't find out anything. Then when I became computer savvy tried to find him that way...no luck. Then one day some months ago, I was at facebook and figured what the heck, and typed in his name--I couldn't believe it...I FOUND HIM...now we regularly email each other and catch up on what's been going on in our lives...but it was so great to find him again!

Yeah, I do, redkathy.

Here in Brazil, Orkut it's a kinda popular community. Almost everybody has it's profile. Because of this, I found many of my old friends and old classmates in there. This week, a classmate of mine just found me.. I was so surprised 'cause I thought he wouldn't remember of me anymore..^^
