<human>: Hey all, this is my first post and I could definitely use some advice. Here's the situation: I graduated middle school (junior high) in 2007. I was kind of a weird kid back then and didn't really understand the saying "think before you speak". Anyways, after middle school I went to a high school pretty far away and haven't talked to 99% of the kids from middle school since I graduated in 2007. A few months ago I was looking at my friend's list on Facebook and noticed one of my old middle school classmates. For some reason I started getting really nervous and it feels like I have a huge crush on her. Now, mind you, I haven't communicated with 99% of my middle school classmates since June of '07. We're all in college now, all around the country and the only way of reconnecting with them during the school year is Facebook. I have them all friended on Facebook. Like I said before, I was definitely an awkward, kinda crazy, stupid, arrogant kid back in middle school and I think I left that impression when we went off to high school. I feel I need to rebuild my social stigma(?), social reputation I guess. My question is, how do I approach reconnecting with this girl and my other classmates from middle school? I'm worried they'll think I'm the same weirdo kid with a big, arrogant mouth. I've talked to 1 person already and it's gone great. However, I feel talking to this girl seems like a shot in the dark. I'd appreciate any feedback or advice with this situation. Thanks!

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
