Even though I have my phone number up on my Facebook profile, as far as I can remember I've never really had anyone actually call/text me having gotten my number from the site instead of through direct communication with me. Well, that changed Saturday night when an old UGA composition department colleague of mine sent me a text saying it had been too long, that he was in town for the night, and that we should catch up over some beers at The Earl. Although I, like many other people, could have balked at this sort of opportunity due to being happy enough with my lazy plans I had made for the evening, I also value this sort of spontaneity, especially considering that although we weren't particularly close during my undergrad he still went out of his way to track me down, so I wasn't about to turn his offer down.
Sure enough, we ended up having a nice time hanging out. My buddy also invited two of his other friends from UGA, one of which I vaguely remember having met at one point or the other, and we all got along fine. Overall, even though we didn't really know each other all that well or stay in touch at all over these years (short of being friends on Facebook), I was flattered that he thought of me, and I do look forward to hopefully hanging out again in the not-too-distant future.
Good times. Hooray for spontaneity!
