I have to say that life is interesting. It really is! Just when you think things are getting a little boring...life comes along and sends you a blast of shit for you to chew on for awhile. I think I have enough to chew on for awhile. So last Saturday I partied with a bff and her friends. They are a couple that happen to live kitty corner to me. This couple and I have much in common and I am happy to say that I have made new friends. YAY!! During our chats that night, this couple and I discovered that our circles of friends have crossed paths. In fact, they are currently friends with 2 of my best friends from elementary school. Of course these bffs are no longer my bffs simply because we moved apart and in turn grew apart. Never-the-less...it was a treat to share our stories. Well...this is how small the world is; last night I went to a Zumba class. Guess who walks in? On of my bffs from elementary school, also one of the girls that the couple and I were talking about just 5 days ago. I haven't seen this woman since grade 10. How old are we in grade 10? Like 14? So it's been like about 17 years. HOLY MOSES!!!! What a trip!
This girl/woman...was as shocked to see me as I was to see her, naturally! We ended up chatting for a bit after the class and decided that we had to get together for a drink sometime. It just so happens that she is still bffs with the other girl whom I was bffs with in elementary school. I will hopefully get to see her too. AHHHHHHHHH...so wild!
Another dose of 'interesting' came last night. I went out on a pub crawl with my boys; Ace and my bff who's in town from B.C. We hit up 3 bars and tapped out after 2 drinks at bar #3. It was my time at bar #3 that was sort of remarkable. I ran into 2 of my sister's friends. One of these friends was seriously dating a bff of one of my past bffs. I hope you are following...lol. Well, what that means is that this friend of my sister's...knows my ex bff really really well and as such...had a lot of updates for me. I guess it is important to state that this bff and I simply grew apart. There is no bad blood between us. In fact, I would love to catch up with her one day. Of course this couldn't be any easier a task seeing as she manages a bar 3 blocks down the street from my bar. Ha!!! Go figure! So why this is all so special is because my ex bff's brother has frequented by bar a few times. This was a special event all on its own. The first time he came in I nearly shat my pants. I always thought he was a friggin knock out...he sort of blew my mind. I was totally flabbergasted that he was not only at my bar, but that he was in the neighbourhood. Wild! So we shot the shit and it was at that point I discovered how close his sister and I work from each other. He comes in again...and this time we really get to chat. He seems to me to be doing very well for himself and this is just that much more appealing to me. So we chat and chat and chat. In my mind, I am thinking this guy is awesome. Want to see him again. Then last night happened.
I will confess, 3rd party updates can also be construed as gossip. But we were all super close for a very long time and as such...I genuinely wanted to know how my ex bff and her brother we doing. So when I got the news from my sister's friend....I was shocked to say the least. I am not going to get into the details. I think the bottom line is that I learned we are not always who we say we are. Of course no one wants to share the life's dramas either. In this case...Mr. Hotstuff...brother to my ex bff...is not going to be a man that I seek out.
