I (heart) the internet

Every once in a while the internet proves to be worthy of all my affection :) I know I'm totally dependent on it. Not only is it part of my professional livelihood, but recreational and educational needs are met too. But today, I had a delightful surprise.

I got an email from Facebook letting me know Mette Lund wants to add me as a friend. My first thought is spam, even though this rarely happens on facebook and more often I get random friend requests on MySpace. Anyway. The name kinda, sorta, sounds familiar so I check out the picture.

*LIGHT GOES OFF* Oh yeah! I know her! Mette is a foreign exchange student from Denmark when I was a senior in high school. She was really nice/cool. I honestly haven't thought of her much since then so it was great jumping back to the past for a little while.

We've been bouncing emails back and forth today catching up.

I know the youth today will find this hard to believe, but when I was in high school... to keep up with the foreign exchange students, we didn't have email, IM, and the internet just yet... we had to rely on a pen and the postal service. .. so basically, yeah, we lost touch.

I did try to find some of our other exchange students a while back, but I didn't have any luck. Maybe one day they'll find me like Mette did. :)
