I've gone and done it again.
I have another former classmate stuck in my head.
We went to senior public school together in Bramalea and went together to our grade 8 graduation. After that, he went to a different high school closer to his home and we kept in touch sporadically even while we were in college. One problem is I can't remember the exact spelling of his last name.
I doubt that he would ever be browsing a blog such as mine, but here's my plea:
Chris Stan(s)field, please contact me. I would love to catch up a wee bit.

This makes me curious if you ever heard from Aimee? Wondering if these kinds of postings work cause I'd be really into catching up with types from the old days. There are all kinds of people reading these that we don't even know about. Hmmm...keep us posted. I hope Chris find this!

I tried desperately to get a hold of Aimee, but all her email addresses are over limit. That doesn't surprise me, for some reason. However, the kind woman who runs the Toronto Craft Alert blog has friends in common with Aimee and has passed along my info (thanks, xjenx!!). I just now have to wait to hope Aimee gets it.
I would love to get into contact with Chris. I have tried several times over the past few years to find out info via google, but to no avail. It kinda makes me want to use my real full-name more often online, just in case there are others trying to google me back! Not that I think there are...

people can find you on myspace if they know your full name. that's one of the cool things about myspace.
it would be hard for classmates to find me, though, because i have a different last name now.
this is kind of addictive -- i just googled an old high school friend and emailed a stranger who knows him to see if he has recent contact info.

hmmm, my ex-boyfriend looked me up through friendster and i didn't write him back. i _think_ about writing him back, but wonder if any good would come of it. and then another hs friend of mine looked me up -- turns out she's in the area again -- and we hung out twice, only for me to find out on the second visit that she's racist. not to ruin anyones "getting to know you again" high -- just something i'm thinking about. i'd love to get in contact with my hs friend debbie. i had a crush on her, and in the end, our friendship ended abruptly. and i kinda miss her sometimes.

Perhaps we should form a website like classmates.com called classmatecrushes.com, so everyone can get in touch with their old crushes and find out if they were anyone else's crush.
Sorry to hear your reunion ended up badly, michelle. I ended up contacting an ex through classmates.com and it turned out she signed up in the hope that we would re-connect. Now, she's one of my best friends :D I think, even if the re-friendship goes nowhere, it is always interesting to find out who/what people have become. If your ex-bf was a big fat jerk, I'd say forget about it. But if he was an okay person, there's no harm in writing him back. And I think it's sweet you want to get in touch with your other hs crush... was the crush the reason for the friendship ending?
Hey jen - your last name is different? I gathered, from your blogs, that you and travis are not married. I'm confused. Also, on classmates, you're listed as your high school last name, provided you give them that last name. Your new last name, if different, is listed in parentheses.

funny. the kids at my old school have this website where they can say whether or not they have a crush on someone, and if the crush is reciprocated, it tells them!
that's nice to hear about you and your ex on classmates.com. my ex-boyfriend wasn't a jerk except when we broke up. i mean, it wasn't a "nasty" break up, but it wasn't clean. and before we were lovers, he was my friend first, and actually this is too long for this box.
i don't know exactly why my friendship with debbie ended. we got in a fight, more like a miscommunication, and i remember being on the phone at work (this was when i scooped ice cream) trying to clear it up, and her mom got on the phone and said that debbie couldn't come to the phone and not to call back. i didn't see her again until graduation (about a week later) and she came up to me and we took pictures together like friends and that was it. well, i saw her on the commuter train to the city one more time a year later, and she was with her mother but she came and sat with me and we talked, but that was it.
and i know the answer to jen's question but of course it's hers to answer!

i forgot about classmates.com - i haven't been there in a while. honestly, i really can't think of anyone i care that much about getting in touch with. not that they weren't perfectly nice people, but just because i'm not really sure what the point would be. i couldn't really reminisce with them because i have such a bad memory. the fact of not remembering most of my shared past with people from my past makes it weird for me to meet them. especially considering that i feel like i treated most of these people badly, but i can't really remember the details of how. the guy i tried to find today is a good example - we were friends, and he liked me, but i liked someone else, and then eventually he hated me. i'm not sure why, and i don't remember if i never knew why or i just forgot.
my last name is different because i was married before and changed my name, and i never changed my name back to my "maiden" name after i got divorced.
