OH YEAH
Last Saturday afternoon I was going to drive some of my suitemates out to Wal-mart. I'd just gotten back from a cook-out at Will and Tess' and so I went to ask Amory and Kim (my suitemates) when they wanted to go. There was a guy there in their room at the time, so I just kinda stood there and waiting for them to finish their conversation... not thinking anything else of it I went on my merry way....

Well, Amory and Kim went over to hang out at this guy's house that night and he was talking to Amory at some point...
He said, "You know that girl that was outside of your room this afternoon... Her name is Stefie Bartley, right?"
Amory replied, "Yeah... how'd you know that?"
"I thought so.... We went to 2nd Presbyterian Preschool together. My mom and I talk occasionally and are like 'I wonder whatever happened to that Stefie girl you hung out with in preschool'"

How crazy is that!?!?! I was 3 at the time... This guy's name is Andrew Densmore. We were BEST FRIENDS at this preschool... in fact, I'm pretty sure that he was basically the only person I actually interacted with there. We did everything, in and out of school together... but only for the year we were there... We lived in different parts of Roanoke County and so would go on our merry ways for the next 18 years in our respective public schools and just wonder whatever happened to the other person (my mom and I have had those conversations just like Drew and his mom along the years)

And after all these years.... growing up and everything... we both end up at Virginia Tech, and here during summer school nonetheless... He recognized me (which is just unheard of... I guess I just have a unique appearance or something)

I'm actually looking forward to getting to talk to him (no, I haven't seen him since that afternoon when he recognized me and I didn't recognize him) and seeing what all he's done in the past 18 years... maybe we still have 'best-friend' potential... I dunno... we'll see. :)
