Alright, here's the thing. In fifth and sixth grades, I used to hang around with a girl named Sadie, who was my age and lived on my street. We got along well overall, although we got into a couple of spats like kids will do. After sixth grade she moved and we wrote faithfully for a couple of years until it kinda died off. Even so, I've wondered about her often over the years.
Well, surprise of surprises, a few weeks ago she writes me! She tells me a brief history of her life and seems very happy to be in contact with me, and says she can't wait to hear from me again. So, I write her an email, and then I don't hear from her. What gives? I sent her a brief how's-it-going email today and still no reply. Have I offended her somehow?
Why does this always happen to me? I mean, Liz contacted me and then, after I replied I never heard back. Do I smell bad? What?

About Me
- Name: Newpeep, N.D. (neurotic depressive)
- Location: United States
Whateya need to know about me? Hmmm, I'm not clever enough to summarize myself concisely. Guess I'm underdeveloped, a late bloomer. Still trying to find my way in the world. I've already found my way *into* the world, which I suppose is a step in the right direction ... isn't it?

Oh how well I know how you feel... I think some people just don't know how to communicate in the first place and then after years and years they feel the need to contact all their friends and past aquaintences as if they'd only missed them for a week or so. Then you just never hear from them again. Goodness only knows what they're searching for. If people don't communicate because they're busy with their own lives, that's one thing, but to start a correspondence and then drop it... that's just plain selfish.
On the other hand, if it's e-mail, it could be those dang spam filters at work. I've had e-mails to myself wind up in the junk mail folder....
Yeah, I thought about the spam folder. I check mine before emptying it, but my email could have wound up in hers. Maybe I should try writing her from a different email address. :-\ Thanks, Balwearie!
