Would it be wierd....

[lifesaver]

Would it be wierd to contact a buddy I havent seen of or heard from in about 7 years?

Blake and I were friends in HS. He was 2 years behind me and we kept in touch after I graduated. He ended up going to TCU (For some reason I think he went FIJI or Phi Delt) anyway, you all know how busy you get in your first year of school, and we lost touch. We werent super close friends, but we were on the same social scene, and he was a cool guy.

I'd like to get into touch with him to see whats up, how its all going and what he's doing now.

I dont have any contacts in my home town anymore.
(Although in a wierd 6 degrees of seperation kinda thing, turns out one of my fellow NM's in the house knew Blake. Their parents went to optometry school together. But they havent talked in about 15 years)

Well, today I was messing around on the internet at a public data website (I have access to the site for work and can look up peeps by their name, and get their address. SO I was typing in a few names of people I wondered what ever happened to and came across his addy.) He lives across the state, but I'd like to drop him a note with my email address so he can let me know whats going on in his life and we can keep in touch.

My concerns are as follows:
1. I dont want him to think I am a stalker or anything. How do I answer the question, "Howd you get my address?" "Easy, was stalking you on-line."

2. Would you be glad to hear from an old friend, even if you havent heard from them in 7 or 8 years? Or would it be wierd?

Thanks....
