Life is strange sometimes. My friend and I were at the bar the other night. We were sitting up front next to a window so we could look out onto the street. A familiar face passes by. Like most people, the person takes a look inside as they are walking by. I recognize the face and he recognizes me. We both stare at each other for about a half a second. Then there is that moment of, "Hey, I know that person..". It turned out to be someone from the town I grew up in. He was with a woman and they both came in to say hi. The last time I saw this guy, he was some crazy little kid running around in a misfits shirt. He's about four years younger than I am. I ask him what he's up to nowadays and it turns out that he's the barber in the town we are from. I thought that was funny. Now the wierd part.

The woman he was with was also from that town. She's five years older than I am. I didn't know her while I was in school. But I knew who she was. She was the all-american, most popular, head cheerleader, prom queen,etc, etc, girl. I was four grades behind this girl and I still knew who she was. It was strange to find myself sitting in a bar with my friend, the punk rock kid/barber, and one of those high school goddesses. You know what I mean? We went to a party together afterwards. That was almost too much for me to handle. I had to get her cell number and now I have it on my phone. I look through the list and up pops her name. Wow.

I've never met anyone quite like you before...
