So a couple months ago I got Facebook (I know, Holy Sh****, Ovah got Facebook!!!).
I talk to exactly ZERO people from my youth. Circumstances back then led to me cutting ties with everyone I knew. Now I'm older, the kids are all grown, I have TIME, and I wonder what became of the people I grew up with.
I've decided to find out. Last night I picked an old friend, and tried to find her. Easy on Facebook, right? Everyone has it, right? I read an article six months ago that said the people who have Facebook now outnumber the people who don't. Well, it turns out, women can be hard to locate. If they've married, you don't know their last name. I couldn't find my friend, BUT.............
.......I found her sister, who is married but included her maiden name in her profile. So I sent her a short message, "Hi Kate, Are you Barbies sister? Forgive me if you're not! Ovah". You see, she was maybe 12 at the time, probably wouldn't remember me.
Will she answer? Is she the right person? Very exciting!
Anyone else ever take a shot in the dark like that on Facebook?
Anyone else try to reconnect with your past?
