Some of you might recall me talking about MG in the past. He's a guy I went to college with during my last couple of years. We became fast friends, hung out together a lot, and I was hoping....would become more than friends. Then after our final school project together, working on a documentary film crew in the summer of 2007, he promptly ceased all contact with me. I tried emailing, I tried calling....nothing. Then in December of 2007, I got the shocking news from our mutual college instructor and friend that MG was in love with someone. I was devastated. Then in July of 2008, I learned from the same instructor, that MG seemed to have cut off everyone in his life and was living in California with his new girlfriend. A few months later, I learn he wasn't in CA, but is still here in WA. *sigh*

Anyway, somehow I knew. I KNEW, I was going to hear from MG again. And sure enough, I checked my one email last night and there was a message from him....via his Facebook account. He's started one and wants me to join in so he can add me as a friend on Facebook. At first my anger flaired. How dare he expect me to respond to him at all after what he did to me? There was no way I was going to join Facebook to friend him. Then I got to thinking...maybe things have changed. I certainly still have feelings for him. He was a great friend at a time when I truly needed one. He helped me so much when my dad passed away. He was that shoulder to cry on and a person who listened. We shared so much of our lives and our creative frustrations. I'm not ready to throw all that away. Sure, I'm still pissed at him for cutting me off the way he did, but if he really wants to renew our relationship I don't think I should be against it. Maybe his other relationship fizzled out? When I met him he was unattached. In fact, I never even heard him talk about past girlfriends at all. Of course, he could still be with her, but I'm choosing to believe (& hope) that if he's contacting me, that maybe there's still hope of rebuilding the relationship we had. After all, he's now the one reaching out to me. Maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth?

I've considered getting a Facebook account anyway (along with a MySpace). It would be a good way to keep in contact with people in the Puget Sound area in the filmmaking business. I've picked up that it's the new way of networking. Nobody exchanges emails anymore, it's all Facebook and MySpace. So I'm seriously considering going for it and joining Facebook so I can get in contact with him again. I really have nothing to lose and everything to gain if I do.
