     So I went over to the Riverside house (where Estevon, Andrew, and Sam Cash live) to watch Lost last night. Kristen Stapleton usually come over too, which is cool, but she tends to bring other people along with her. Last night it was this skinny, Coach-toteing blonde. When she saw me, she introduced herself right away, but gave me one of those handshakes where the other persons hand is basically limp like you're trying to shake hands with a person who is in a coma. So there were already two strikes against her within the first 30 seconds of interaction. Then she looks at me and says, "you look familiar", I looked at Kristin who informed me that this girl had gone to our High School. Hating the fact that my hair was up, because it is the only thing about me that has changed since high school and therefore might have ditered this comment, I silently cursed myself and brushed off the occurance. Then later I went into the kitchen to look for something and she was sitting in there. Showing no inclination toward having an interest in her, I set about search for whatever it was I was looking for (I can't remember now). After a little while I noticed her looking at me, when I glanced over she said, "were you ever in cheerleading?". Oh. Great. God. Why does that damned part of my life have to find me wherever I go? I quickly said, "no" and went about my business. Then when she asked, "are you sure?" I said "yes" and walked away.

Kind of rude? Yeah.

Am I sorry? No.

What I want to know: what the hell was that about? Random people recognizing me? WTF!
