Paul and I went through four years of high school together. He helped to make many a boring class bearable. He drew hilarious cartoon images of teachers, other students, and various other things. No matter how bad my day was going, he could always make me laugh!
We took–and failed–a COBOL class together. What a bore that teacher was! We consistently pissed the teacher off with our laughing and talking, but, that was the only way we could find to get through that period! Mr. Krout would be shocked to learn that Paul is now in the IT field. 
We lived only blocks apart, so not only did we see each other at school everyday, we rode the bus together and would often bump into each other around our small town.
We even worked at the same retail chain store, though I lasted only a month or two, and Paul ended up staying there for ten years.
I can’t remember a time during high school when Paul and I weren’t friends. He was always there for me. He was a true friend.
Sadly, as so many high school friendships do, we eventually lost touch. I’ve thought of him often over the years, and wondered how he was, where he was and what he was doing.
When I signed into MySpace the other day, there was a new friend request. Much to my surprise, it was Paul! I couldn’t believe it!
We’ve exchanged a couple of emails so far, trying to catch up on the last twenty-plus years of our lives. Talking to him again, after all this time, is so cool! I can’t tell you how happy I am to be in touch with my friend again!
*In case you’re reading this, “Hi, Paul!”*

Mr.4444 and I met in college. He was always making me laugh, and he was a real cutie, but I just didn’t see him “that” way (I had a boyfriend at the time.) Two years later, we were the best of friends. I think that’s why we make a good couple; a best friend knows all about you and loves you anyway
Glad you and your friend have met up again.

That’s great! I got back in touch with my best friend in high school last year. It’s so nice to be able to catch up.

The internet has made is so that I’ve been able to touch base with old friends. Classmates, Linkedin, MySpace, Facebook, etc. It’s amazing how many people are taking advantage of them…

I just love catching up with old friends I’ve lost touch with. The internet is pretty awesome for that!
