OK, so maybe not all the time but it is SUPER-UBER cool when you find a long lost friend. Since doing the MySpace deal I have reconnected with several friends from high school. In fact, Knitterboy happens to be one of my long lost high school buddies that I found on MySpace. There are several others that I really enjoy keeping up with. During a time of tragedy when we lost a close friend, read about how wonderful he was here, it was MySpace connections that kept everyone informed.

I have had a Facebook for much longer, but I never used it until recently. MySpace is just a little too teen oriented for me, but I keep it because of the friend factor. Facebook is a little more my social network speed. It is actually Facebook that inspires my title today.

For years and year…and I mean YEARS…I have been searching for a very special friend. We were oh so close our last year of high school, spent senior summer together, and stayed in touch as we went our separate ways in life. With our children only months apart we even shared the ups and downs of pregnancy…both times. It was a friendship that meant so much to me because I felt this person could truly understand that life is not perfect and sometimes it just plain sucks. Through various circumstances that are not mine to share, we lost touch. I searched the net, joined social network sites like Classmates, Reunion, MySpace, and Facebook. When I found a phone lead, I followed it. No luck reconnecting. This past week she found me! ECSTATIC I was. It was just really, really cool. I can not wait until we have the chance to hang out and catch up. Until then, Facebook and email are wonderful things.
