Sometimes I am still befuddled by the strange and seemingly-random ways that I am connected to other people in my life. I would have never thought that the gregarious girl in my Batman class would end up being a close friend, temp roommate, and coworker in dogs, or that my rival for Brock's attention freshman year would end up being my best friend and partner in dogs (and our relationship ironically outlasting the one between Brock and I). I would have never thought I'd become the Emergency Joker's girlfriend.
alixyveth and I met when she asked on the UCBLJ if it's normal to run around Berkeley in costumes. I didn't even notice that Danielle was one of the three girls in the very first Batman class. I thought Henry was insane and Warren was slightly pervy.
I am so glad to be surrounded by such good, wonderful people.
Sometimes I look around me while I'm at Point Isabel, surrounded by dogs and grass and ocean and sun, and I agreeably nod to myself, life has never been better. Then I throw Zeke into the water and laugh.
