I've found myself to be pretty good at finding old friends via the internet. Most of the time it's pretty easy. Almost everyone has a friendster, myspace, or face book nowadays. Even when they don't, I'm pretty good at finding people. During the time of my friends suicide a few months back, I was able to find a friend of his that I met only once, only knowing her first name and that she once attended Yale.
Today I was going through a box full of old stuff from when I was a kid, and came across a stack of old notes and letters. I've kept in touch with almost everyone in the stack, but there was one that I didn't, and I really wish I had. And she exists nowhere on the internet.
I'm a sad panda.
