Circle of Connections

I mention last entry that I saw someone at a party that I haven't seen in 10 years. Sam was a person I went to camp with, a camp in which I also made a lot of lifetime friends from, including those who were very good friends with Sam (which included Monica, Renee and Cindy). Now 10 years later, those friends of his are still very close friends with me but have totally lost touch with Sam. And it now looks like I will be the one reuniting them.

But those connections dont end there. Since meeting Sam, other freaky connections have occurred.

Rewind one day from the party I met Sam at. I was at a house party at Sylvia's when one guy there showed up with a friend of my from another group of friends. Priscilla, was just as surprised as I was to run into each other that night.

Now, fast forward to last night and I get an email from Priscilla for me to join her on her Friendster list. Though she found me through "other" friends, I checked her friend list only to be shocked to see that she was friends with my friend Yvonne from Vancouver (of whom is my Toronto friend Danny's cousin). This is the second person I met (Priscilla is from Vancouver) that also knew Yvonne (the first being Marie, Jon and Denny's friend, of whom I met in San Francisco one weekend, only to see her picture in Yvonne's room the next weekend!).

But it gets even freakier. Turns out Priscilla knows Sam too! In fact, Sam is Priscilla's chiropractor and they just saw each other the day before only to start talking to each about ME (I have NO idea how I got into their conversation).

Anyways, I hope to have lunch with Sam soon and catch up with him...and find out how many other people he and I know! You know its great to know so many people here in Seattle from only living here just a little over a year.
