I'm sitting here at work taking a break from looking at this product specification, and I decide to get a quick update on Facebook on my phone. I noticed that there is this "new" feature on the phone app that says "People you may know" (It's been a regular feature on the website, but it seems new to me on the app). Anyway, out of curiosity, I click on it. It shows some of my brother's friends, some friends of lacrosse friends I've made in Columbus, but the majority of these people I supposedly know are people I knew in high school. I haven't been really good about keeping in touch with high school friends. Like really keeping in touch, I don't count just being Facebook friends keeping in touch. So it got me wondering if I should friend them. Would they remember me? Would they even want to be my "friend" after over 10 years? I'm sure this is just all in my head and of course, they would friend me, but I fear rejection.
The one friend that surprised me was my first boyfriend. It was one of those doomed high school relationships like most are. I think we both knew from the beginning, but we were kids and the future wasn't that important (and by future, I meant marriage and stuff, not college and careers because we all know Asians only care about those things and not silly things like love and marriage and relationships). What doomed us was that he was Mormon and I was not. I do look fondly back on my first relationship, not just of boyfriend/girlfriend, but of true friendship. Fondly enough to want to friend him? I think THAT would be weird. I'm just curious to see how his life turned out. I know he got married which he did call me about (that was sweet). And the bitch that I was (and probably still am) scoffed/disapproved/questioned at his choice of engagement ring. We had already moved on by that time in life. His profile picture has him holding a kid, so I'm assuming it is his (He is Mormon after all). Now I sound like a stalker.
Giraffasize!
