| | We all know people who seem to know everyone. You go to the mall with them--or anywhere for that matter--and they always see at least one person they know. My mother-in-law is one of them. And there are others. My best friend is another. Especially around here, her hometown, she stops and talks to so many people. I know lots of people like that, and it's really fun when you realize that someone else you know happens to know that person.
Today something like that happened to me, only it's kind of creeping me out. I'm not sure how it works. A girl who was roommates with my friend Meagan in college sent me an e-mail. It was weird to begin with because we were never really good friends, although I really liked her and we got along fine. but I haven't heard from her in about six years, and neither has her roommate who is my friend. So I get an e-mail. And I happen to notice in the headers that the first people on the sent to list are people I know. "Hmm." I think. That's odd. I wonder how they know them. And then I look at the rest of the list, and it's actually sent to an entire group of people I know. Not people from my college, the college I went to with her. but people from ISU. From FCA at ISU. I was realy confused. It's been bothering me all day. Mostly because I can't figure out how she knows that particular group of people without my ever having seen her or heard of her being around there. It's straaange. Well. I've come up with two solutions. The first one is that she's dating someone who was in that group of people and somehow managed to become best friends with all of them (even though they all have graduated and moved to the four corners of the world). The other is more plausible. She accidentally clicked "respond to all" instead of "respond" and unwittingly sent her e-mail to the rest of this group of people.
I think the latter is the likely answer, because today I happened to be looking at e-mails sent from a person who I know from FCA at ISU, and noticed that it had been sent to the same list of people Kristin's e-mail was sent to. Hmmm. I still don't know how those two know each other, however. It's kind of strange.
