resolution number 1 - find old friends...try to be kind to them (this is harder for kurt than most...)

so our first resolution is to try to find old friends and bring them back into the fold - ie facebook stalk them, say hello, apologze for all the mean things we might have done/for letting so much time go by without saying hi/for thinking they were not quite cool enough in college to chat with when checking your mail in the student center (when actually it was certainly kurt and i who were not the cool enough ones!)/etc, and then try to find out all the really cool things going on in said-old-friends current life... sounds fun, huh?!

so kurt has chosen a FANTASTIC woman from our past for his very first FridayFriend - she was quite possibly the funniest student we ever worked with at Ohio State, and had the capacity to eat chipotle that rivaled the men atempting to break the Worlds Strongest Men records...we LOVED her - kurt, how did your contact go?! tell us all about it - i miss her like crazy!

and i have chosen my very first camp-crush... if you were ever a sleep-away-camp-counselor, you TOTALLY understand the power of the camp crush... i mean, when you live with people 24 hours a day, and you spend all your daylight-hours entertaining 8 year olds, your night time with other 'adults' becomes sacred time. so, like the intensity of my love for the campchickenfingers, my love for campcrushcarl was out of control... and i'm pretty sure he knew it. awkward. but i have decided that 13 years later is just about the right amount of time to try to rebuild a friendship no longer based on my love of his tevas or his ability to throw me into the pool...god bless the 15-year-old-flirting...how times were just so much simpler then...

i'll let you know how it goes. i'm going to be crushed (oh the pun!!) if he does not reciprocate my desire to reconnect... but alas - i guess thats the point of FridayFriends - gotta put yourself out there and risk hurt and embarassment if you want to find that old-friend-diamond-in-the-rough... kurt - fill us in on how yours went too - cant wait!
