old friends
There are a lot of people I think of getting in touch with. Ashley from my undergrad lab, who I'll always regret not being more forward with. Jessica from high school, who I trade the occasional lj comment with, and Mike Dulbs who always forgets to call me back and I've finally taken as a sign that he's not sincere in wanting to see me when I'm in town. Nate, Adam, Marcie, Julie, and more, these people have floated out of my life. I do miss them, and I wish we still talked, but I don't bother to do much. Thing is, I'm terrible at keeping things up from far away. I trade a few facebook messages, or a couple of phone calls, and then I forget to reply. I've gone through awkward periods of a couple months trying to keep it up, but I never do. It's a shame, because these people would be wonderful to still know well. Some of them I still read ljs from, and occasionally I stroll by a facebook page to see what's up, but mostly they're out of my life.
I do wonder, in future moves, how many of these people will I end up sharing a city with, and with how many of them will I reconnect.
