I dont really - which is a bit of a shame. I sometimes wonder if I should try to go for a pint with my best mate from school, on the one or two times a year I visit home.
I think one of the things that puts me off is that I found that once I'd turned my back on my old life that some of my old friends and family were a bit weird about it - like it sometimes feels like theyre desparate not to hear anything about it, which is fine but it makes it pretty difficult to have a conversation. Not all of them are like that - but some definitely are.
Oddly the best mate I have back home is someone I met in a bar in the middle of Europe - whom I can share any bit of exciting good news with, without him feeling insecure and thinking I'm up my own arse in some way.
Sad really, but there it is.
My brother can recite his school register off by heart in order, despite the fact that he is 43 next week.
I saw a primary school group photo a while back that I was in and not only did I not remember the majority of the people in it but I also had no recollection of the teacher or ever having been in his class.
On the other hand, an ex-girlfriend contacted me via Friends Reunited a few years back. We'd been best friends before anything romantic had happened, so it was good to hear from her, even if the message was just "Hello!"
......Our daughter is 2 in January!
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

I lost touch with a lot of people I knew when I was in my mid twenties. Relationship, went sour, she made things difficult, aversion to returning to my previous stoner lifestyle blah de blah.
I only got face book last year or so and caught up with some of the old crowd. It's been good, I live a long way away now but I've caught up with some. Feel I've missed out a bit but the people that mattered to me were a joy to see. I did kinda disappear on them.
Think my friends circle is quite rounded but to be honest keeping in touch with family is more important. We're a scattered bunch us Gilbys.
