Don't you think it's quite sad when you meet someone you really like and for some reason just lose contact with them?
Or even just somebody you talk to sometimes at work or even just one night at a pub or something and then that's them gone and you'll probably never see them again. Or old friends in general, I remember being at primary school and thinking that everyone would still know each other years later. Yet from my class I still talk to three, one of which is my girlfriend. People I used to like at Secondary School I never see anymore, people from old jobs who I spent miserable 10 hour shifts beside disappear out your life. Even relatives who you only ever see at Christmas, I just find it said. Especially looking back and the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia take hold, even though at the time it was crap you still feel sad that such a time is over.
Ah well I just thought I'd write a little piece because I met my oldest friend at work the other night and it's strange how people change when you don't see them as much, people you'd tell anything to suddenly can become complete strangers.

You could stay at my house for a bit
Well you could come round for dinner
When my parents are out
But I'd invite someone else so you don't rape me or something
Actually...
;)

I have closer friends now than I ever did, but I do miss one person who went off to Uni while I'm staying home and animating. This is what I want to do, but Pembroke is empty, and I get lonely.
I try to ignore it, but all my friends are online. The only problem is I get used to it, so I'm less open face to face. When I travel about to see them [which is getting worryingly expensive], I tend to feel uncomfortable. It's not really just the face to face thing, but having to rely on someone else for a roof, and invading someone's house.
Annnnd it's coming up to my anniversary of being single. Damnit. Ah well, I'm happy, just alone.

Hey, I'd miss you Sheepy.
these forums are a funny old place. you meet people that you may never in real life, and share stories of your lives. It's a unique experience.

I used to be good when I was young, I'm alright now I suppose.
Me and my girlfriend is quite interesting. Known her since Primary 2, talked to her a bit through the next few years. Never talked to her for a few years at Secondary then we went out a few years ago. I was a git and then we ignored each other for a long time. Then we've been going out since May again. And her birthday is a day after mine and she only lived 10 minutes away.

i dont like repeating things ive already typed but the last line in STAND BY ME about never having friends like the ones you had when you were 12 kills me every time.

That's not sad...well, ok, it is a little, but I understand the sentiment.

And I know it sound pathetic but I even get partly sad when old posters leave here.

I am good at meeting new people though - I see it as one of my strengths (smug grin :D). Meeting new people is what I look forward to whenever I start a new job, go to a club, whatever.
But I do miss old friends, some people I used to see daily, that were my BEST friends, are now just a memory. Such a shame.
That's just the way things go though I think.
You can try to rekindle relationships, but they, and you, have now found different lives. It's just good to know that you have people out there that are your friends, and should you see them (hopefully) again, it'll be like you never parted company .....
