I was inspired today by a blog I did a couple weeks ago where I mentioned losing touch with your friends. The reason I was reminded about it was actually a person. When I lived in Madison I had this friend named Casandra. We met in a (composition?) class at Herzing University and became friends quickly. We once went on an adventure around Madison in the middle of the night, getting lost several times, but also finding one of the coolest overlooks of the city there is. Casandra and I lost touch about three months before I left for Duluth, but recently she found me out of the blue and it was really nice to hear from her.





Sadly this doesn't happen to me often. Usually if I lose touch with someone our relationship is never the same again. Most of the time it depends on the nature of our "break up" because if it ended on poor terms I'm usually not inclined to break the silence. I definitely feel bad when I just drift away from people and neither one of us does anything to stop it.


Facebook helps sometimes. On several occasions I've found old friends through the site and have had many pleasant catch-up talks. Usually when I'm drunk or when I've stayed up to some terrible hour of the night or morning, but I find it really refreshing to be able to pick up where I left off with someone. I have to say though it's a little infrequent, for the amount of people I used to know and know now I feel like I should stay in better contact more often.


I guess this is an open invite to anyone who I've had a relationship with that fizzled out to contact me. I'd like to know how the people I used to be close to are doing and maybe even plan some sort of way to hang out. My phone number, e-mail, and my other contact info is on my facebook so feel free to use it.
