  Everything old is new again... Having attended pre-school through college in this town, youd think I run into people I know all the time. In some ways this is true, but not nearly as much as youd expect. The exception being that in the last two weeks I feel like I have run into everyone Ive ever known ever.
I ran into the previously mentioned Nick (lets all be thankful Im not using Pandas nickname for him) at Blockbuster a few weeks ago. Of course, I heard him before I saw him. Thankfully, I was able to duck out without him noticing me. Now, before you judge me, I challenge any of you to engage with Nick by choice. There. So, a day or two after that near-miss I ran into a friends ex-bf at a bar. What followed was a surprisingly uncomfortable conversation (who knew there were lingering feelings between him and myself?). But I recovered. Then on Saturday I got a call on my cell phone from a very gay man who claimed to be an ex-bf and wouldnt identify himself. This was really disturbing for a lot of reasons. But then when he identified himself I was really happy  it was Sholl! (before nasty rumors get started, let me clarify that he is not, in fact, an ex). I had heard nothing of that cat for maybe 5 years and then he runs into a mutual friends husband, gets my number, and just like that were in touch again.
Finally, yesterday I get together with an old friend Ive seen little of in the past few years and we played catch-up. I dont know if you can count him as a long-lost friend exactly, but I also saw the white-haired karaoke m.c. guy that hosts all karaoke in the western metro, this weekend. I hadnt seen him in long time, either. Now I hear that Nick and Duda were spotted on the jumbo-tron. Will wonders never cease? Moral of the story? I need to relocate.
