Friends & other life things
Reconnected recently with an old, very good friend from high school. He was my first boyfriend, for what it's worth, and now we're both out of the closet as gay. No idea what that says about either of us.
He's also working in a field adjacent to mine, so we're having fun exchanging war stories. It's been great seeing him again: we were almost insperable the last few years of high school, and I missed hanging out with him.
I'm trying to be less quiet on LJ, but I have no idea how that's going to work out. I seem to have lost a lot of my ability to just fill the "post" space with random stuff anymore. I blame Twitter for part of that: the little tidbits that can be summed up in one sentence usually go on there these days, and there seems to be little else worth mentioning.
I've lost touch with a bunch of people, and I've let things slide so long I'm frankly embarrassed to even try to reconnect, because what can I even say? In one case, the last time we spoke directly (nearly a year ago), the exchange ended up kind of unpleasant -the person in question took something I said in jest seriously and sent back a reply that was kind of nasty, so I just let it drop- so I'm not even sure they want to talk to me anymore. Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.
This is one of those times when being able to know a person's thoughts would come in really handy.
