Part of being 'old'....

.... is reconnecting with old friends. I got a message on MySpace today from someone I went to college with, someone from my Freshman year who I had lost contact with and had given up on trying to find.

There was a group of four guys who hung out together and were people I loved dearly. It's part of that bonding experience that comes with going away from home for the first time. One of these four had totally cyber stalked me at SOE back Thanksgiving of 01 but when I left that job I totally blanked getting his email. It was kind of an insane time in my life and I've regretted it dearly since. Every once in a while I try out my google-fu to find people and with these guys I'd been failing.

I can't even express how happy I am that Austin found me. My life is really different than it was back then and I'm not sure how much we actually have in common anymore, but reconnecting with people who hold dear places in my heart is something I treasure.
