I come from a relatively small town, and the friendships I made in high school were relatively tight just because there was nothing to do other than talk. My best friend from high school and I still hang out whenever I'm in town (once or twice a month) and I AIM or e-mail a couple of them. My high school boyfriend/other best friend actually goes to the same university I do and we hang out once or twice a week. I'm still social with other acquaintances whenever I happen to run into them back home.
It's kind of sad seeing my new friends take the place of the old ones. I mean, its only natural to be closer to the people I see every day, but I've known my home group since elementary school. (although we weren't always real "friends") The photographs are being replaced...I don't call every time something happens to me...it's life, but it kind of sucks.
