What happens to you when you're home...

is that you suddenly meet people you somehow know. Including former classmates!
Today I met in the bus my primary school classmate who happen to be my "bestfriend" in kindergarten and primary school until i moved to a new school where i found me current best friends and completely forgot about old school.
And there she was - person who was a grown-up version of what i held in my memory, talked differently anmd looked like i would never recognize her, but still same features and even the way she talks..this is too freaky!
So what former classmates talk about in 5 minute walk together? Not getting to know each other better, not discussing current issues of ukrainian development :)) hehe, NO. we stuff ourselves with updates about other former classmates - competition about who knows more and more recent updates, competition i lost from the beginning as failed even to recall their faces&names.. So in 5 minutes i found out facts about people i havent met in years, whom i will not meet in years, and probably never ever use this information again (my mom would be interested to know, but i forgot it all while going up the building to our flat...). And that was only 5 minutes i saw my ex-bestfriend in years... sadly wasted conversation...
Why do we do that always?... at least if i meet another classmate of ours in these days (and since i am home - that could happen) - I will have high chances of winning the updates game haha :))
