A couple of days ago a nice thing happened, a nice surprise. I was online (as always) and I saw an old friend was online as well. And she's never online! Believe me, I would know, I'm always online. So, I said hi, but didn't get an answer. So I waited... and waited, meanwhile I checked my emails, read blogs, and I think I even blogged. It was a lot of time. I thought she would never answer so I forgot about it, and suddenly she did answer. I was so happy to hear from her after four years of knowing nothing about her.

She lives in Taiwan but I met her at Austin, Texas. And of all the friends I had there she's the only one I know of. We started remembering the good times when we were fourteen. And we started chatting about our current lives. I was really happy. Though a little sad about my other "lost friends".

This is one of the things I like the most in life. To talk again to people that I still like but for some reason I haven't known about them for years. It is such a good feeling. At least for me. Then I try keeping in touch, and I don't care if I'm the one who has to give the first step and call, or invite, or whatever. I think it's worth it.

Anyways, she gave me her address and asked for mine. So I'll send her a letter via snail mail and receiving one from her. That should be fun, I love writing letters, and the thought of getting a letter from Taiwan is quite exciting.
