Small World

At lunch today, I was approached by Jay Allen. Jay and I went to the same small private school in elementary and junior high. He's a few years older than me so we weren't actually friends, just acquaintances. I got reacquainted with Jay a couple years ago when he started reading my blog and sent email. Even though we live in the same city, we hadn't seen each other. Today at TGIFridays, he recognized me and stopped to say hello. It was quite a pleasant surprise, because Jay is totally hot now. Not that I really remember what he looked like when we were younger. Plus, I got a good laugh out of the waiter asking if that was a common occurrence - running into people I went to elementary/junior high with. You know, it's more common that you'd expect.

Friday I got email from Heath, a boyfriend of mine when I was 19. Heath found me on Friendster and sent a note just catching up. It was so awesome because I've been wondering for YEARS what happened to him. I sent him my phone number because there was no way we were going to catch up on 8 years over email. So Friday night he called and we talked for two hours. It sounds like he's doing really well. He moved to NYC where he teaches art to high schoolers and he's engaged to be married. I'm so happy for him.

Life is really quite cosmic right now. All these wonderful people are coming back into my life right now and it just seems to mean something. I'm just not sure what it means yet.
