Familiar Face

I ran into an acquaintance from high school last night. We said "hey" and talked for a couple of minutes. When we went our separate ways, I felt like I had just caught up with an old friend. However, I don't remember us ever talking to each other back in the day. I knew who he was and he must have known who I was, but that was it... Maybe it's just the nicety of seeing a familiar face, someone with whom you share a connection, however small.

I agree. When people we graduated with come into the Party Shop it always seems strange to run into them, but we talk like we were once friends, even if they were my enemy in HS.

That always happens to me with people from college. We shared the same experiences so it's like we're friends...even though we're not.

I hardly ever run into such people...but perhaps that's because I'm hardly ever in my hometown :)
