Seriously…friends from first grade in Tokyo, friends from my summer spent in Dundee, Scotland, friends from my years in Bangkok, and friends that sit in the office next to me. Facebook has made it ridiculously easy to remain in touch with friends I thought I’d never see or speak to again.
There’s Chris who lives down under and Nuuti who’s now in Finland. We were friends way back in the third grade. Now through the magic of the Facebook feed, I can follow their humorous status updates.
There’s my newest Facebook friend Ryan who used to play on my baseball team a couple years ago, but then we lost touch.
There’s Brad and Charlie who were buddies of mine back in Bangkok. We used to get into all kinds of trouble with BB guns listening to Nirvana. Turns out Brad has lived in my town for the last three years, so we went out for a beer to catch up.
The wildest story was finding out that Pat, a girl that went to high school with me in Bangkok, ended up meeting and marrying Josh, a guy that went to boarding school with me in New Hampshire. Bizarre, and what a small world this is thanks to Facebook.
