\"hey<\/a><\/p>\n

Someone I used to know emailed me out of the blue last week. We were just teenagers when we knew each other. He was a part of my past that I thought would never come back\u2014sort of like the tongue ring I used to have when I knew him. And the brown chola lip liner I used to wear. Yet there was his name in lowercase letters waiting for me in my inbox. He said that he looked me up online and stumbled upon my blog. I cyberstalk<\/s> google random people all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever contacted anyone I don’t talk to anymore. I’m really horrible at keeping in touch. Before I know it, days, months, and years go by. Like January 2010, for example. I’m still in denial it ever happened. How is it February already??? Sometimes I feel like it’s too late to say anything… I’m glad people think otherwise, though. It was really nice to hear from him (and only a little bit creepy).<\/p>\n

I was curious about what other details of my life surfaced when he looked me up online, so I googled myself. I’m quite the social networking butterfly\u2014my Facebook<\/a>, Myspace<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> accounts came up first. I can only handle one social network at a time, so I haven’t touched my Myspace since I joined Facebook, and my tweets are few and far between (to the dismay of @idntfd<\/a>\u2014he thinks my life is far more interesting than it really is). Nothing too embarrassing or too personal came up, though… unless you count my old Xanga<\/a> page\u2014complete with a rotating icon of me, my ex, and my aforementioned tongue ring. Yikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
