'Curiouser and curiouser', said Alice

spookyeviloneI just got a MySpace friend request from someone I haven't spoken to in over 10 years. It's an odd feeling. On one hand, I'm all "YAAY!" and the other hand.. I'm a cynical bitch who's curious why they're choosing to contact me now on MySpaz when I've had the same email address since.. ever.
I think the reason it's surreal is because the person was involved in one of those Moments. You know the ones I mean - the ones you look back on and go "Wow, if things had gone the other way, my entire life would be really different right now."
In this case, if Person B hadn't gone to visit Person A.. and if I hadn't been totally caught off guard by the fact that there was a Person B.. I'd have moved to Chicago in late 1999 to go to UC. I wouldn't have moved back to MN - or at least, not by 2000. I wouldn't have gone to Anime Nights. I wouldn't have met That Guy and absorbed him into my funky little version of reality.
Quite probably, I'd have moved to Chicago, gone to University, hated it, had a relatively brief, stormy relationship that ended in blood and tears. Or else wound up in the most fucked up version of marriage I can think up.
I entertained myself for a brief moment with, "If I could go back and change things, would I?" The answer is no. For all the crap that's happened in my life over the last 10 years, I would not give it up, because it would mean an end result that was different from who I am at this moment and who I'm with.
Still don't like That Guy.
Pee Ess - if Harvester were still alive, it would be like a #Wicca circe 1994 reunion in my life :P
Fuck you for being dead, Harley. Fuck you so very much. Bastard.
