You may or may not like facebook. Me, personally, I have a 50/50 relationship with it. Like using it, like communicating with my friends through it, but I don’t tend to upload pictures (in fact, out of the 400 plus photos that are there, I might have uploaded 50 of them….), and I do not play the games that everyone seems to get hooked at (farmville!? go get a life!! or a real farm…).
But today, well, out of the blue I got a friend request from a girl I used to go to school with. I havent’ talked to her in the past 8 years (in fact, since I came to live in Scotland), I have been wondering what has been going on in her life (just as I wondered about other people), and I have been far too lazy to ever try and make contact with her (or anyone else) again. But adding her as my friend, and from her profile, finding another 3-4 people I used to go to school (and high school) with, has just been amazing. Seeing (ok, I guess snooping) how they have grown up, how they have changed, but still keep some of those facial traits I remember from school, has just made, if ever so slightly, want to go back to Spain and meet up with all of them, hear their stories, share mine… Chances are we have nothing in common, and once the updating and school remembering is out of the way, we would be left with the realisation that the only thing we can share in the future, is the knowledge that we are facebook friends and we’ll be praying on each other’s lives through the power of ‘too much information’ shared on that site.
Nevertheless, for the time being, I really want to know what they are up to, what they do with their lives, how different (or similar, who knows) are theirs from mine. Also, I might even want to find if anyone of them is still in contact with the two or three guys I really fancied way back (back when I ‘didn’t know’ I was gay, and I just really really wanted to be their ‘best friend’) in school and high school, and see how they’ve changed… call it the Curious George in me.
Hi! Curious George. Good luck
I give you 6 to 8 weeks until you are over the whole “let’s meet up” idea
