It's a small world after all. (cue the theme song)

[SpunGirl]

So talking with J-tech today on IM he and I discovered that I work for the same company his father does, and that he lived in the same apartments about a year ago that Jake and I have currently been renting in for the past 8 months.

It's a small, small, world.

[CrystalTears]

And a scary one to boot. :bleh:

[ThisOtherKingdom]

I never really liked that saying, but my best friend uses it a lot. Anywhere he goes he runs into someone he knew from school or somewhere, it's insane.

[J-Tech]

Ya, this is really cool!!! - Definently a small world. - It's suprising how you could expect your day to turn out just as another normal day, then find out something really cool like this.

A small world is when you and another character hit it off in Gemstone, and you get to chatting, and you get to IMing, and you let a couple RL details slip, and you find out she's someone you slept with 12 years ago. We were rolling.

[Skirmisher]

Ooof...thats a kodak moment alright.

[Satira]

That's horrifying.

[Myshel]

Sitting in a restaurant with a friend and this guy walks up to me and says "I think I know you" I'm like ok, he says you used to babysit for me. He is 6'4 with a beard and I used to babysit for him when he was 6. He said he remembered because I used to read to him, and no one else ever did that.

The sheer number of Gemstone players who live in Northern Virginia is frightening.

EDIT: Soulpieced's girlfriend lives about 3 minutes away from me. Hmmm...

I met an asian guy at work on friday, he didn't play Gemstone. I'm confused.

[TheEschaton]

I was at school, and waiting to go into class, and this completely hot girl walks up to me, and I have no idea who the fuck she is.


She says, "Are you from Buffalo?"
"Ummm...yeah."
"Do you live in Amherst?" [NB: This is an appropriate question if you answer "yes" to the first question, since no one actually LIVES in Buffalo, they just say they're from there]
"Yup.."
"Did you go to Canisius?"
"Yes ma'am."
"I think I was in an SAT class with you! It's great to see you again!"

All the while, I'm trying to figure out if I did something to piss this girl off, and I breathed a sigh of relief at that point. But I had no where to take the conversation from there, so I said, "That's great...I have to get to this class, before all the computer science geeks blow a load from one of their own talking to a girl" (they were all watching).

Another note: Don't be the child of immigrant parents. I got a 1430 on the SATs the first time around, and that was after showing up stoned, and they made me take an SAT class to improve my score.

[Edaarin]

You think that's bad? I got a 1520 my first test junior year, and I retook it because my verbal score was too low. That from parents that don't speak English.

I still think a gathering would be fun.

2 years ago when I lived in a different dorm with this guy named Chris. A few of his friends came over for uh recreational activities and saw me playing gs and it turns out they were all ex gs players and curious about how the games progressed. It was awkward but interesting.

I was chatting to Nick (stray) about school once and I was telling him about this girl that I hated, I described her as tall, kinda large and manly looking with loads of black greasy hair and totally weird and he said he remembered a girl like that from his school too. I laughed and said was her name jodie? (I was totally joking)and he was like yeah, it was actually.... We basically worked out she had been to his school in Cumbria before moving to my school in Essex (basically total opposite ends of the country) and we had both hated her in school! It was kinda spooky!

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Stray, hating someone? Noooooooooooo. Say it isn't so.

[Miss X]

Well she was a complete psycho......
I think I hated her a lot more than he did, she was just so scary!

My girlfriend and I were at a Dave Matthews concert here in NoVa. She doesn't like sitting next to strangers and we had a set of seats at the end of a row. So she gets the outside row, I get the 2nd seat, and a woman is next to me with a guy on the other side. My girl turns to me and says "That's Brett" (Her ex, who she was dating when I asked her out). I told her "whatever", because I knew she overreacts sometimes. So the guy's girlfriend stands up (before the show starts) and I get up to let her pass by, because I assume she was getting up to leave the row. She says she's just stretching and her man says "Yeah, next time get up quicker" in a joking way.

It was Brett. The two times I'd met him before I commented on his bad sense humor, and this time was no exception.

My girl asked me to call her by a different name the entire night so that he wouldn't realize it was her. Girls....

[AnticorRifling]

I would have told him to train his pet not to stand up without permission.

You think his sense of humor is bad? You should be with me when I'm in the mood to get under someone's skin. I like to find someone that thinks they are too cool for words and just humiliate them in public. But that's how I get my kicks, might be shallow but it's me.
