(no subject)
All right, I gave up and made a myspace. After deleting my first try at myspace--which had been chock full of irritating dickcheeses--I swore I'd never go back. But I figure that it'd be nice to have another place to connect with people, here or in RL. I couldn't quite believe it, but I got curious about old friends from middle school, and I managed to find my flash-in-a-pan best friend from the seventh grade on there. It was weird how fast I was able to do it; I did a google search on her name and came up with a result in this site, showing the last place I knew she'd lived from what her mother had told me (over 16 years ago). I found her first name, last name, but it seemed to change to a married name, so I went to check it out--it was a pay site though, so I wasn't gonna get anywhere with that.
Leave it to myspace, free and easy, to let me type in her whole name and BAM, there she is. I was a bit taken aback; she hasn't changed a bit from what her picture shows. Our friendship was incredibly intense for about six months, but then she gained popularity (for, well--all the wrong reasons) and things faded out. Even though I made MY mistakes (I screwed a few things up with my big mouth, innocently for the most part), I felt incredibly betrayed and upset. I never saw her again after the 8th grade, as she moved to Florida with her father.
I dunno; the more I think about it, the more I see it as her moving on without wanting to hurt my feelings, but... hah, strange to be scrutinizing this nineteen years later. Anyway. Myspace. I decorated it with a C/Z background/wallpaper I made (came out well, imho!). I might make more, for S&G.
