Have you ever wondered where some people went that used to be a part of your life? I have.

This is Alessandra:



She is Brazilian, from a small town a few clicks north of Sao Paolo. We used to live together for about half a year in Stockholm, but lost contact completely after one of her infamous tantrums.

Since prince.org has spies posted all around the world, I figured one of you might have seen her? You recognize her by her loud laughter, her weird habit of saying "um beijo na bunda" when she says goodbye, her wonderful chocolate cakes that she makes every day and her inexplicable fetish for cheesy love ballads.

Does anybody else have anyone you would like to find? In that case, post their info here. Who knows, there's at least one chance in a gazillion that it could work! (which, for your information, is a greater chance than AsianBoi never posting his picture again).

can't think of anyone right off hand. but I'll keep my eyes open for Alessandra.

Thanks!

I have tried contacting people that I lost touch with, always to find out there was a reason we lost contact, which referberated into the now.

At one point in your life you just have to accept that you cannot be friends with everyone.

Hehehe. This I have to agree with!

I definitely know what you're saying, it's happened to me too. But I'm just so damn curious about what she's up to and in what part of the world she is. That's why I'm trying to use the org spies. Not too much, not too little, but just enough info, you know?

Edit: damn spelling!

I have lost touch with my first best friend from school her name was louise and I'd like to see how she got on.

She was kinda normal so i doubt she will read prince.org

and if she did i doubt she would own up to knowing me


I still speak to all my exs (theres only 3)

The idea is that the orgers will act like spies in the real world, not that the victim will come strolling in to the org.

I know two louises. Gimme some more info, it might be one of them!

she was kinda tubby, dark curly hair and lived in the uk, namely wolverhampton until 1991 then i have no idea

In one of the most precious stages of my life I had the beest friend of my mother looking out for me. She was the one that put me firmly on the road to a non-medicated youth.

Then, some years later, I found a girl who took me for what I am. She was the first person I told I was gay. She too suddenly disappeared. I was something that reminded her of a life she wanted to leave behind.

With both women, I have a hard time that they are not in my life anymore, but I learned it's right. I hope Liesl, the second woman has found her peace.

And that karin, the friend of my mom is happy with her husband and kids. I love them both from a distance.

tubby - check!
dark curly hair - check!
lived in the uk - Oh crap! She's not the one. Well, we got pretty close. Next time it will be spot on!

HamsterHuey said:

I hate those comments! I mean, wtf! Do they see you as some kind of damn souvenir? You're a person, not an artifact from a "phase".

retina said:

No, but some people cannot move on without starting anew. Some people cannot survive without hanging on to everything they got. Not everyone is the same. I respect that, even if it causes me pain.

I myself found out that the further I run from my problems, the more I am confronted with them.

HamsterHuey said:

Very true. What needs to be dealt with in our lives will keep knocking around until it is resolved.

I found some letters a while back from a childhood friend of my sisters. I used to be friends with her too, but we've lost touch with her and we were reminiscing about it. We moved away so thats why. We had a lot of fun, we have the memories, and they stay with you.

Pictures and description please! We might be able to find her for you!

Lleena said:[quote we have the memories and they stay with you.[/quote]

True.

Like with Karin, I remember where we spoke, what we talked about, even if it was 24 years ago. She opened my eyes when it comes to being adult.

Liesl. I cannot even begin to decribe in what way she opened my eyes. She opened my eyes to other sides of beinbg alive. She made me push my borders. Being just an innocent (really) boy going to school in the big city for the first time. She was there when I came out the closet. And she just accpeted it without hesitation. Around her I could be ME for the first time.

HamsterHuey said:

It's interesting to hear about a thing like that from your perspective; I used to have a gay male friend who came out of the closet after about two years of our friendship. I remember it so clearly, we were sitting at a café talking about a situation we had talked about before in which he had rejected a girl that had crawled into his sleeping bag during a sleepover party. He told me: "Do you remember what you said about that situation?". I said: "Yeah, I asked if you were incredibly sleepy or gay.". Then he said: "Yeah, well, I wasn't incredibly sleepy". And that was that! We laughed and talked about it and it was all okay and fine. I think he appreciated that.

Edit: the html for the quote got messed up.

That sounds amazing Gooey, we were kids and we were learning about the adult world. There was another friend that lived with her grandparents and they spoiled her with toys and she would bring them over and we would play with them. She would ask us, which game shall I bring tommorow etc. She was a doll and she was lonely. We never asked how come she lived with her grandparents because as kids you do accept things the way they are straight away.

Lleena said:

I know. My parents lived seperated. I remember being totally confused when, while playing at my then best friend, his father came 'home'. That totally freaked me out.

I shudder at the thought at how otherworldy I must have seemed to other kids. You only realise that later on.

HamsterHuey said:

That is so cute and sad at the same time. Poor girl, feeling like she had to keep you entertained to be friends with you. (I'm not saying it was you that caused it)

It's interesting what you say about kids accepting things. It's true that they do that. Some things are just taken for granted and it's not until they get older that they realize that they "should" think certain things are strange. I never even thought for a minute that it was a bit unlogical that my best friend at the time had a different skin colour than his parents. Only much later did it dawn on me that he was adopted. Kids are better than adults that way.

HamsterHuey said:

That's the thing though; you probably didn't seem that otherworldly to them. Kids can accept things in a whole different way than us.

retina said:

LoL. I certainly did seem otherworldly. I noticed them reacting to me differently than other kids, but then did not realise why.

After that period, I tried to fit in during some high school years, but stopped trying at 13. I then embraced geekiness.

retina said:

That is how she felt and we knew this!

Seriously, she had no other siblings or many friends to play with, so the games and toys were just languishing in cupboards mostly. She was shy and didn't make friends easlly. How could you suggest we would be so calculating!!!?

HamsterHuey said:

Kids can be cruel too sadly, they're very honest in their feelings whether it is showing love or being brats.

Lleena said:

True. I got beat up alot. Love kids.

retina said:

That reminds me! When I was quite young I remember asking my korean friend whether she thought she took after her mother or her father more. Both her parents were white. She looked at me funny and just said "Carrie!" And it took me a second and then we both just laughed about it.
