Blast From The Past

Well, I was looking through facebook the other day. Exploring the different groups out there for places I've been, schools I've attended and what not. Then I saw a name I had not seen nor heard in 17 years. It was the name of a girl who I went to elementary school with grades 4 through 6. She moved away at the end of 6th grade and that was the last time the name ever crossed my mind.

Now, thanks to facebook we've struck up a conversation and we're talking casually via facebook. What I think is so funny is back when we were in elementary school, I was such a geek! I mean, I was picked on regularly, and didn't have a lot of friends, despite being rather good a pretty much any sport. I mean, that changed when I hit the 8th grade and I sort of "changed". Anyway, I was a geek is my point, and she was not. I would have never thought 17 years ago to be talking with her now. I mean, it's not like this is some elementary school crush that I never got over. I have a g/f and she has a b/f, this is just two people who went to elementary school together, curious as to how things have been for the last 17 years.

I'm thinking I'll have to start looking up other people from the past on facebook, of course that could be met with some backlash. Naturally there are going to be people out there that forgot me the moment I moved or school let out or whatever and want nothing to do with me anymore. That's life. However, it could be interesting to see what happens.
