I found the profile of an old online friend on Facebook. I haven't spoken to her in about a decade. We used to be very close, but stopped talking when she left the MUD we both played. She sort of dropped off the face of the Earth, with her e-mail address going inactive and her no longer logging into her MSN and AIM accounts. I tried looking for her on Facebook a few times, but never got anywhere. Then, by chance, I managed to find a ren faire group she participates in, which listed her as one of the members. She uses a mildly edited version of her name on Facebook, which is why I couldn't find her before.
I sent her a message and a friend request. Facebook shows that my message has been "seen", but she hasn't accepted my request, nor has she replied. It's been three weeks since I sent the request.
I miss her and I wish she'd reply. I can't really think of any reason why she wouldn't.
