ghost

i had dinner with Secretkings last week. much fun was had with the margaritas and the fubar and the talk of wisconsin and ethnic food and koreatown. it made me miss the days when he hated living in pasadena and i was a weho neophyte.

we began talking about the "good old days" of gay blogging (god, that makes me sound like a conservative--the good old days part, not the gay blogging). and i was cleaning up some of my links from past incarnations of my blog, and it made me think about it even more. there are so many blogs that are gone, written by people i used to talk to all the time but have faded out into the ether. in a sense, it is the natural birth and death cycle of life, of people weaving in and out of your sphere. but in another, it's just sad--i miss a lot of them.

at dinner, we talked about how cool it would be to have a gay blogger reunion. it's of course cool in concept, but now that i've thought about it, i'm not so sure. i remember how awkward some of those blog get togethers were, even back when i'd be e-mailing often with these people. it seems like now, when many of us haven't even blogged for long stretches of time, that it would just be like a high school reunion. sometimes it's better just to let the past--and the people in it--go.
