Catching up with old friends.

Tweet

I recently have started searching for "childhood friends" on the internet. A girl I used to be very good friends with and have never really lost touch with got me addicted to searching up old friends on the internet. She is a fanastic one for remembering all the people we knew in our teams and their full names and she introduced me to searching for them on a social networking site. I never expected to find or even remember nearly as many people as I do and it really is an interesting thing to do. We are in the UK and use a social networking site called Bebo ( http://www.bebo.com ). Basically everyone who is anyone in the UK has a Bebo site and you can go on and browse what they have being doing with themselves. You can look at pictures and view all their friends and even read comments that other people have left them and then from there decide if you want to leave a message for them and hope they get back in touch. Bebo you may have heard of if you are in the states because they were bought over last week by AOL at an absolutely ridiculous price. On my Bebo I have searched and found people I haven't seen since I left a school when I was 7. I found my first boyfriend I have not seen since I was 12. I have found the group that I hung around with as a teen and am actually organising a reunion for us on Saturday night and I have found people I worked with a few years ago and lost contact with. It really does turn into an addictive hobby and can be known as "Bebo Stalking" but I do thoroughly recommend it. But it has been great speaking to all these old friends, and even although I don't have a great memory when urged about stories they all come flying back to me and it is wonderful. You should try it yourself.
