It was a very nice friendship once.

Came across an old school girlfriend the other day I used to hang out with a lot in high school.

After high school we lost sight of each other and after about 5 years we met again at a reunion. Nice! She agreed that she would stay for a weekend in Rotterdam where I studied at the time. I think I've experienced this as one of the longest weekends ever. I was so excited about it, but what a flop that was. So much superficiality. I really couldn't do anything with that and I really wondered why I found her so great during high school. I rarely looked forward after the end of a weekend but then it couldn't go fast enough.

I studied then and she had a pretty exciting life I found with a lot of travel so I expected interesting stories, depth and new insights but nothing nada of all that. When we walked through the center of Rotterdam at one point and she really did not get out of talking about the too small balconies and shabby appearance I had really had it with her. Then we had already had the commentary on clothing styles of the people who were walking around, the comment on former school mates who were riding a bike while she had a car, the comment on her classmates who were in college and had success. Gunfactor 0 - say - to the top. You understand that I let the contact watered down with love...
