this stems from doing exactly that last night, of course. it is weird running into people from your past.. hmm, not like people you never want to run into, because that's usually more sucky than weird. [also avoided whenever possible, and whenever not possible, kept as brief as possible.] but people you'd like to see more often, but your lives don't overlap, or even come close enough to overlapping to pretend that they do to offer running into and ideas of stuff to do. and it's not someone from a past relationship, but it's just really unsettling to go from knowing someone well enough to catch movies with and have nicknames from and talk with on a daily basis, to not seeing them in years. i'm pretty damn pathetic. [not provoking feelings of pity, to be sure, but, so inadequate as to be laughable or contemptible. which i find to be true as i laugh at myself often..]
