So a reallllly old internet friend of mine recently contacted me via LJ a couple days ago wanting to catch up on things between the two of us. Mind you, it's been years and years since we last chatted with each other (all the way back to the times when I still went on AIM, haha), so getting a message from her was a total surprise for me. And this was the exchange that transpired on her LJ, edited to just show the most relevant bits (her comments are in italics):
I'm a college freshman now in a small liberal arts school in Ohio and am currently having a blast. I still write fic, though pretty infrequently b/c I'm so slow. ^^;
Holy hell I was just in Ohio staying at Kenyon (a small liberal arts college) for their Young Writers Program, and while I was out there I visited Oberlin as well. I'm so glad you're having fun! I can't wait to get senior year done with and start college =D
Ok WTF. Kenyon IS the college I'm going to AND I WAS ON CAMPUS DURING THE SUMMER WHEN THE YOUNG WRITERS WERE AROUND. We were in each other's vicinity for two weeks and didn't know! Did you stay in McBride?? Because that's the dorm I was in too. @__________@;;
My brain just exploded because yes, I was in McBride and I COULDNT HAVE CONTACTED YOU SOONER SO WE COULD HAVE KNOWN THIS BEFORE GAH!!!! I was there during the second session (july 13-30 or something like that) were you there when the Unitarians were all there?
Yeah, I was there during the second session. I remember Ernst always being so full. T___T
Not sure if you were aware of it, but the first floor of the smaller side of McBride was reserved for my little group of twelve. I was one of two Asian girls in that group... I don't know, I might stick out in your memory for reason. xDD;;
---------------------
I SWEAR, EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO THIS SCHOOL!! I mean, I met my Kenyon overnight visit host via LJ too, not to mention Avril & an old classmate from middle school who I haven't even mentioned on here yet is in my freshmen class too! DDD:
And I linked her to this page, so she might be reading this post at this very moment. LOL
