This is obviously related to the post about "how many people DON'T you want to see again in life?"

Do you have any friends that you can't find that you'd like to see again? I have a few college friends that I can't find on the internet anywhere (linkedin, classmates, etc.). It would be nice to see how they're doing. I recently got in touch with one friend from a real close group of friends I had in high school. Unfortunately, everyone scattered across the U.S.

Lots. I just never get around to doing anything about it.

Coincidentally, though, last night when I checked my mailbox, there was a note from someone who moved in recently and was having trouble figuring out how to get online (I’m one of the network admins at our dorm), wondering if I could help. I called her up and asked if she had the username/password slip everyone’s supposed to get when they move in. Nope, she didn’t. Went over to give her one [err, give her a username/password slip, that is, not, ‘give her one’], and it turned out to be a girl from my year back in high school, someone I hadn’t seen in about six years.

As many as possible, though in a scheduled, orderly fashion. After I move to a south pacific island, I will reduce this number to less than 100 per year.

All the girls I should have kissed! I had the opportunity but didn't see it at the time. But hindsight is a whinny little bitch in slippers eating chocolate on the lounge watching trashy tv.

Still keeps me up at night every now and then thinking about how it could have turned out

^ Oh dear. That sounds like all is not well.

I have this weird thing going on where I keep meeting people who know me, but I have no recollection of them.

Mind you, I've also been told about parties that I apparently attended which I can't recall. Ah, the good old days...

There are several women I would like to meet again. No blokes spring to mind.

TailsToo · Mar 12, 2008, 09:18 PM

There are many that I don't really care if I see or not. Only a handful really matter.

TravisReynolds · Mar 12, 2008, 09:27 PM

Yeah of course, I moved away.. like far far away from my old town were I went to scool. I had to go to a new scool, yea i love my friends. But I would just love it if I can get back in touch wit my old friends

BTW I did kiss and lots more compared to some who got away

So you never kicked yourself afterwards know you had a opportunity with a cutie and never noticed?

Railroader · Mar 12, 2008, 09:48 PM

Quite a few people. Too many to count off the top of my head right now. Friends from a camp I used to work at, ex gfs, friends from college, people I bumped to while in line somewhere and only spent around 10 minutes with, ex gf's families, niece... the list is immense.

Yup.

And kicked myself when I did notice but couldn't be bothered.

Altogether now...

"Regrets, I've had a few...
But then again, too few to mention..." la la la

I wouldn't mind seeing all of my old teachers from grade school or high school so I could tell them that many of the things they told me (about certain educational requirements) were completely wrong.

Otherwise, other than ex-girlfriends...
