Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I still can’t believe that my ol’ 6th grade crush found me on MySpace. It makes me blush!

The weird thing is that it is as though we have been living parallel lives–he calls it "cultural twins" because our interests–books, movies, music and our eccentricities–are all in line. it’s uncanny, but it’s serious synchronicity at work.

It’s like when I became friends with my childhood best friend Wendy. I knew her in preschool and we HATED eachother. She became friends with my sister Jennifer (who I am polar opposites with in every way–I was weird and science-y, she was sporty and pretty; I was a pug and she was a golden retriever, if that makes any sense)

Anyways, I KNEW Wendy was using my sister out of boredom. However, at the time, Jennifer was my enemy, so I was SOOO confused. I hated Jennifer, I hated Wendy, Wendy was using Jennifer… who do I hate?

Turns out that Wendy and I hated eachother because we had a lot in common–isn’t that hilarious? When the stars aligned and we finally became friends, were united against Jennifer and completely inseperable. We would finish each other’s sentences, spend hours together laughing and were overall freakishly connected at the hip. We practically spoke another language with our inside jokes (and I still remember almost every one of them.)

Um, what does this have to do with 6th grade boy? Our friends come to us in mysterious ways! Is that really the lesson?
