Which person from your past, who you've lost touch with, do you wonder about the most? 
Submitted by ancora impara.

This is a great question...and one that I probably won't be able to give the full and complete attention that it deserves. It's actually something that I think about often...well, not often, per se, but sometimes. And while I know that I often think about a wide variety of people (from daycare friends to people from Sabal Pointe to high school chums to old work peers, with a whole constellation of people in between), I sometimes wonder if people are ever wondering what became of me. I know this is a pretty selfish slant on the question, but I do intend to answer it normally...I'm just saying....

I suppose the people that instill the most curiosity in me (and understandably, I think) would be ex-girlfriends...there are just so many more facets to that curiosity than those for someone I knew in middle school (though I have to say: Dennis Heaney, where art thou?). To that end, I guess my mind most often turns to Tina and Krystal and where they are now...though contrary to popular belief, I think I'm probably more curious about Krystal these days than Tina. That shift has really been due to the fact that I saw Tina only four years ago and she was pretty uninteresting. If I had never dated her and was introduced to her now, I don't think I would like her at all, as a friend or otherwise. Still, regardless of that antipathy, I would probably still be really curious about what she's up to now...if she were doing anything interesting. So why bring her up at all? Because regardless of all of that, she was still my first love, and if my mind is flowing down the rapid river of my past, her name remains a large, jutting rock.

As for Krystal, I do wonder about her. Our relationship didn't end that well, which makes me sad sometimes...I still believe that, if our long distance relationship hadn't gotten in the way, we could have dated for years. But I do hope she's okay and that she's found someone who doesn't have my issues and/or fears and whatnot. So if I think about most everyone from my past at one point or another and count the number of times I do so, most people would have a "1" or a "2" next to their names, some would have double digits, and Tina and Krystal would be off the charts. Oh, and Dennis Heaney would be up there, too...that guy just disappeared.
