Coincidences and a Meme

[pigrescuer]

Is it just me or is this world a very small world? Here are some weird things that have happened to me in the last couple of years since I delurked myself across the internet:

- I met somebody on the GWFF who lives down the road from the first new person I met in Sixth Form.
- littlered, who I met on the GWFF, knew my best friend from primary school
- littlered

You've mentioned most of my weird internet things; do I have any more? Let's see ...
- Apparently, rozzietheaussie has distant family who live in the same town as me.
- One of my new friends at university not only has an LJ, she has the same favourite fanfic authors and LJ communities as me.
- I once met people waiting to stalk JRT who had read some of pigrescuer's fanfic (as you should remember).
- Having seen sistermagpie on a few of the same LJ communities as me (although we've never spoken to), I was surprised to see that one of her userpics is a photograph of a streetsign at the entrance of an alleyway that leads off the road I now live on at university.
- Another of my university friends (although I knew her from home, but never mind) doesn't use LJ much but has been following a fanfic I currently love.

I think I forgot one, but there are some coincidences for you. Small world.

I once met people waiting to stalk JRT who had read some of pigrescuer's fanfic (as you should remember).

Wh-what?

I don't remember this!

[littlered2]

At Landscape With Weapon! Come on, you must remember.

[pigrescuer]

No!

I don't remember this at all! How did you get onto the conversation? What were they reading?

[littlered2]

Weren't you there? I swear you were. And you were the one talking to them. Come on, it was only about eighteen months ago!

[pigrescuer]

I.. probably was there. I remember the people we met, actually.

But I don't remember them reading my fanfic. How did you get onto the covnersation? What had they read?!

[littlered2]

I don't know; I think you were the one who did most of the talking. How do you not remember this? It was such a weird coincidence.

Hmm mine would have to be I'm currently friends with someone I knew in middle school who i haven't seen for 6 years (cos i went to an all girls school and he ..well..didn't XD )
And we're now both in the same course at uni and both in John Woods accommodation.

The weirdest one has to be finding someone on da, discovering we like almost exactly the same things. And then finding out we sat next to each other for 2 years of business studies which was as boring as hell, but could of been sooo much more interesting..had we known ¬¬

[pigrescuer]

Lol.

It's a pity you didn't discover it then!
