There's the people who I only sort-of know, or whose name I remember, but I probably don't know them well enough to friend them. And on the other side, there's of course my

i could see why some of those might be...awkward...depending on the current relationship between you and them. I tend to be generous on the friending...anyone from my graduating class of junior high is an automatic add even if I didn't know them "that well" (because it was a fairly small school where everyone knows everyone). But from there on out its a little more particular with generally only adding people who I ever talked to, say, maybe, outside of class? who might actually remember me as slightly more than a yearbook picture? Like people I might actually like to hear from time to time what they are up to. But I know other people who are more particular and only friend "good friends". I've actually been friended by people from high school that I had no idea who they were till I looked them up in my yearbook...that then turned out to be pretty cool, a lot of common interests (and a common major in college) so kind of one of those "its a shame we never really talked in high school, we might have been friends if we did" moments.

Hahaha. :-) Yeah, I'd love for any old drama to be old news. I'd be happy to look at it that way, but some of them wouldn't.
