Am I alone in thinking that the kind of people who inhabit LJ, are not the same cohort of people whose sole ambition in life is to find out what Spotty Ginge from me old school St Veruka's is up to these days? Personally, I kept in touch with the 5 or 6 people from school I even vaguely liked, and I don't even want *them* to know I have an LJ let alone random former class mates... I think Schools should have stayed on Friends Reunited where they belong - but mostly I don't care, and am surprised so many people care enough to grouse (OK, knowing LJ, maybe not so surprised :-)

Stil pretty tired. Lots to do. First real class this afternoon. Wish me luck :-)

Right after you leave school you might accidentally lose people you didn't mean to when you all go separate ways,

That was one of the reasons I got an LJ in the first place: as a way to make sure I kept in touch with friends from university as we were all leaving. It worked.

I used to run a mailing list for exactly that reason. It pretty much vanished when I got an LJ.
