Stuck in your head is a good sign. If this person was decent friend years ago, I say try to find him or her.
In December 2005 thoughts of a long-lost college friend suddenly popped into my mind in the midst of a long walk. Strangely intense thoughts, and I felt compelled to send out a prayer for her and knew I needed to try to find her. She could have been dead for 20 years for all I knew. We'd been out of contact for 26 years. Last year a friend found an address (on a petition to the USDA of all things) by Web-searching her name. It took me another nine months -- and some prodding from a woman at church -- to find the nerve to write and mail the letter, but I did last October. She sent me a long, friendly e-mail within two days of receiving it. We reconnected in person last March and you know what? It felt as if we simply picked up where we left off in 1979. As if all those years hadn't passed. We're still exchanging e-mails, chatting on the phone and trying to hang uout once in a while. I realize now that we were on the same

Hi Dez, it's Mike Turner (mikezepirate), I ran into Gene the other day and we were just talking about you. I would post under my journal name, but I forgot my password (doh).
All that shit WAS a long time ago, like 8 years ago, went quick didn't it?. Have you actually had the stomach to go back and read your old stuff? I did, and it seems like a TOTALLY different person - and god, there's a lot of psychobabble too (sometimes it's painful to read). In many ways, I'm really glad I'm over all of that.
I don't know, I think I've also reached a point of contentment. I own a small technology company now and I'm just working on building that up happily. Nothing must else, just work, and a little play.
Anyways, would love to get back in contact with you Dez. If you're interested in chatting sometime, I'll send you my gmail handle and we can chat it up a bit.
